For certain it is not "Penny Dreadful". Only in name only, probably because of the success\awareness of the prior show, did this drama about Latino race issues in 1938 get it's brand name. And the same producer. He could have called it "City of Angels" and left off the PD.
Granted there is a supernatural aspect, but nowhere near the heavy Gothic atmosphere, more in keeping with an actual Penny Dreadful novel, the first show maintained for three seasons.
This particular episode, sans the 1930's time setting, could have been any cop show.
The acting is superb. However, again, this is NOT a Gothic horror show in line with a traditional Penny Dreadful tale.
