Good point, Nilly!
I am hoping for just dark enough to be fascinating but not dark enough to preclude 5 seasons.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

From the sound of it, I might not have stuck around for the show if it had been from other creators - I'm not sure something that echoes Silence of the Lambs would appeal to me every week based on content alone. But knowing that it's going to have better writers than anything else on TV makes me eager just to hear how all the characters will talk.

Actually, Allyson can answer (I think) one question/concern I've had, what with all the talk of SotL and SEVEN - does it bring any of the funny in there somewhere (no matter how dark funny)? Given the writers involved, I would think it would HAVE to, and to not would be a waste of some major strengths.
You may have said - I should probably go back up thread and look, but work is currently kicking my ass.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yes. Katie Finneran's character, Mel, is a riot.
I wish I could tell you my favorite line from her, it's tag worthy.

Heh, yeah after Wonderfalls I'd sort of expect that.

Stake your claim in advance (without giving it away).

My favorite line ever, without spoiling is, "...the sixth victim."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In response to: "Five victims already?! God, what's next?"
Or maybe, "Which one tasted the best?"
Or, "Who is the sexiest person you know?"
Or, "My car won't go - is there something stuck under it?"

Okay, that's freaking me out.

How about "Who's your buddy? Who's your pal?"
Or, "What's that banging sound coming from the trunk?"
Or, "Is there anyone here who know's how to disarm a bomb?"
Or, "What did mom want?"
