If you want to get a jump on the series premiere of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, you have your chance to do so for free. Showtime has released the full first episode of the series online, and you can check it out below.

The series, a “spiritual sequel” to John Logan’s original Penny Dreadful series, premieres this Sunday and stars Daniel Zovatto, Nathan Lane and Natalie Dormer. It’s described as follows:

A spiritual descendant of the original Penny Dreadful story set in Victorian-era London, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels opens in 1938 Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto) and his partner Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane) become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city’s first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart.
