Jack's work schedule is still nuts, and fatherhood is exhausting. But, we're back, delirious and drunk, and ready to pick apart the TV of the week. And we may even talk about Kim Kardashian for a hot minute. And we may be a little sorry about it.

Nathan Lane and Natalie Dormer have been added to the cast of "Penny Dreadful: City of Angels."
