Taking a look at the packaging while reviewing and unboxing Showtime series Penny Dreadful: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray and Happyish: Season One on DVD. 

Penny Dreadful (2015) is a 3 disc set that contains all ten episodes, and Happyish (2015) is a 2 disc set that contains all ten episodes.

Penny Dreadful is a British-American horror drama television series created for Showtime and Sky by John Logan, who also acts as executive producer alongside Sam Mendes. The show was originally pitched to several US and UK channels, and eventually landed with Showtime, with Sky Atlantic as co-producer.
The title refers to the penny dreadfuls, a type of 19th-century cheap British fiction publication with lurid and sensational subject matter. The series draws upon many characters from 19th-century Irish and British fiction, including Dorian Gray from Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, Mina Harker and Abraham Van Helsing from Bram Stoker's Dracula, Victor Frankenstein and his monster from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and Dr. Henry Jekyll from Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Synopsis for Season 2: 

Penny Dreadful returns to Victorian era London with ten powerful episodes and finds Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) and Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett) forming a deeper bond as the group, including Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway), and Sembene (Danny Sapani), unite to banish the evil forces that threaten to destroy them. Meanwhile, Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney), the Creature (Rory Kinnear) and Brona (Billie Piper) are all waging battles of their own.

Creator: John Logan 

Starring: Reeve Carney, Timothy Dalton, Eva Green, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper, Harry Treadaway, Josh Hartnett, Danny Sapani, Simon Russell Beale, Helen McCrory, Olivia Llewellyn, Patti LuPone, Nicole O'Neill and Olivia Chenery

Synopsis: 

Thom Payne (Steve Coogan) is a 44 year-old man whose world is thrown into disarray when his 25 year-old "wunderkind" boss arrives, saying things like "digital," "social" and "viral." Is he in need of a "rebranding," or does he just have a "low joy ceiling?" Maybe pursuing happiness is a fool's errand? Maybe, after 44 years on this ludicrous planet, settling for happyish is the best one can expect. 

Creator: Shalom Auslander 

Starring: Kathryn Hahn, Steve Coogan, Sawyer Shipman, Bradley Whitford, Carrie Preston, Nils Lawton, Tobias Segal, Hannah Hodson, Sean Kleier, Molly Price, Lauren Culpepper, Andre Royo, Ellen Barkin and Kevin Kilner
