I'm digging that they are putting the promos up before there's even a date, on shows that will attract the audience for The Inside.
I do think the show is not for everyone.
The scripts read like hard-boiled mystery, they're rich and have good crunchy bits. I do think while it will attract a large audience, there's a level of gore that could be Too Much for a lot of Buffistas.
Remember that X-Files ep, I think called Home? With the brothers and the mother under the bed? Crawling up under your skin and giving you the willies? That about sums it all up.
The thing about Buffy and Angel is that the otherworldly creatures were metaphors for the real world monsters in The Inside. So there's not that latex make-up buffer between fantasy and reality that makes it all a little safer.
I do hope they put out a script book of the series. It's a fantastic read.
Oooh! I'd like to add that as a request for the site. A few script pages for an upcoming episode or something, along with a sort of DVD extra style interview of a minute or two with Tim or Craig talking about how the story was developed.
For myself, I would like a poster and a press kit. Who can make that happen for me?

Oh lord. That was the first episode of television I ever knew the title of, because it was so fucking creepy I had to keep talking about it!! If it's that creepy, that's too creepy.
You must promise to watch the pilot, though, Jesse.
That was my favourite episode of the X-files. It was sick and perverse, and I loved it for being on my TV!

That shit chills my blood. Can't wait!!!

But of course. I'm all about serial killers -- I actually figure I am the target market for this show. It's the incest/living under the bed stuff that creeps me out. (Is it Dark Profiler? Because I would dig that.)
Didn't Fox decide that X-Files ep was a little
too
creepy, so they weren't going to show it ever again? And then it was one of the winners of some viewer's choice of best episodes to be reshown? Or did I dream all of that?

I think this did happen. I saw it on the one replay.

Yeah, I'm in the crowd that thought Angelus's episodes would have been improved by more onscreen bloodshed and tormenting of human victims, and even I got a case of the willies when Mrs. Peacock slid out from under that bed. That much creep factor on a weekly basis would almost have to put the majority of viewers off, consciously or unconsciously.
Of course I also think a show that hardcore would have sent the Fox network suits running to emergency appointments with their therapists in short order. Their continued enthusiasm surely means it's more accessible to mainstream audiences?
