Trivia
The music playing during the orgy scene in Dorian Gray's mansion is "Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix," from the opera "Samson and Delilah" by Camille Saint-Saëns, which premiered in 1877. The song's title is French for "My heart opens at your voice".

Goofs
When Dorian serves Ethan Absinthe, after adding ice water to the liquor, it should have turned cloudy and milky looking with a lighter green color to it. This is a phenomenon called the "Louche" Effect and is a defining trait of the liquor known as the Green Fairy. In the scene however, the drink stays the same bright, translucent green it was before the addition of the ice water.

Quotes
[Brona Croft fights with Ethan Chandler about her consumption]
Brona Croft: You're fucking a skeleton every night, for Christ's sake. There's no goddamn future in it for either of us. Who are we trying to fool? You want to watch me die? Fuck, no. Go on, go on! Go in to your lady friend now, and have one of your clever chats, you two. Wake up, son.
Brona Croft: [Brona slaps Mr. Chandler across the face] From now on, you fuck me like anyone else, after you've paid.

Great Going

I am in Love with this show. Every episode gets better. I was initially unhappy with Reeve Carney being casted as Dorian Gray. But the actor grows on you. He looks very promising in this episode Frankenstein and his monster rule the show. It is beautifully executed. Loving every min of this show.
