Penny Dreadful fans go wild for raunchy threesome scene as LA gang initiation takes kinky turn
PENNY Dreadful: City of Angels has wowed audiences with its explosive mix of sex and violence.
The Showtime horror series has seen a number of factions in 1938 Los Angeles wage war on each other.
Between corrupt police, a rising Nazi presence and the increasingly desperate Pachucos, who are pushed to the brink as their rights are constantly infringed upon, it doesn't take long for violence to break out.
Mateo Vega (Jonathan Nieves) has his world turned on his head after joining the Pachuco outfit headed up by shape-shifting demon Magda (Natalie Dormer).
During his time with them they carry out a revange murder on a crooked cop who molested his sister Josefina (Jessica Garza) in broad daylight.
However, things take an unexpected turn when Magda and Mateo take their business relationship to the bedroom for a romp.

The pair are interrupted by fellow gangster Fly Rico (Sebastian Chacon), who unknowingly stumbles in on the moment.
However, rather than walk out he jumps into bed to join the pair, taking turns with Magda to kiss Mateo.
Suffice to say the raunchy moment made a big impression on audiences, who took to social media with their thoughts.
"This threesome in Penny Dreadful is just art," one user gushed.
"Okay I wasn't expecting that threesome," a second chimed in, alongside a picture of a shocked expression.
Meanwhile a third joked: "Is it even Penny Dreadful if there is no mmf threesome? I would argue no."
The franchise has a history of X-rated threesome scenes.
Penny Dreadful previously ruffled feather when Billie Piper stripped naked and covered herself in blood for a threesome with a vampiric twist.
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels airs Wednesdays at 9pm on Sky Atlantic and is available to stream on NOW TV.
