Lot of fun, but some major pacing issues.
Some of the ideas are really inventive, some of the stuff they dig up. Filmmakers used the Victorian setting pretty well, with all the Gothic legends and horrors which come with the setting.
Monaghan and Perlman both great together, which is good since there's some extended dialogues (though nothing INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS level). I could've enjoyed even longer dialogues, some which dove a little deeper into the nature of horror and the Victorian era.
But the pacing. Man. Some of the episodes just crawl to the interesting bits.
Also, some of the ideas aren't milked as well as they could. For example, the episode which builds to a vampire attack basically has the three characters fleeing/randomly hitting each other. A few more clever gags, ala BRAIN DEAD/DEAD ALIVE would've helped immensely.
Worth a rental.
