Penelope is an ancient name, dating back almost three millennia to the Odyssey. Homer’s Penelope, the queen of Ithaca, is Western culture’s archetypal faithful wife, fending off suitors by the dozens as she waits at home for her husband to return from the decade-long Trojan War. But in the breathtaking half-hour drama Penelope, now streaming on Netflix, it is her contemporary teenage namesake who goes on an odyssey, running away from home and trekking through the Pacific Northwest wilderness on a quest that is as mysterious to her as it is to the viewer. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Created and written by indie film and TV eminence Mark Duplass and Biosphere director Mel Eslyn, who also directed and served as showrunner, Penelope is like nothing else on television.
