The Inside sounds a lot like the first season of Millenium as far as tone, look and subject matter. And I enjoyed that a lot (though some of it was super-creepy and harrowing). But I think I will prefer a larger ensemble cast covering that material so there's more character interaction.
This is what I'm getting plus a bit of ALIAS in Coyote's spy-daddy vibe. My big concern with the Millenium factor is the lack of humor (as great as it was, humor was not a strong suit first season - Jose Chung and the demons helped in that department later) and the "serial-killer-of-the-week-thing" which I think is what turned people off to Millenium by the time they got around to the mythology (which, though they basically did a total reset the last season, SEEMED to have a more concrete, planned basis than the X-Files later proved to - if the show had ended season two before the reset, it would have been two of the most brilliant seasons of scary television topped off with the most depressing ending ever). Jane and Tim will bring the funny, I am sure (per what Allyson has said, but also on past performance). Ditto with Fury coming over.
But, yeah, Tim had me at "Hey".
It might be nice if there were an episode or two where the killer turns out not to be a sociopath, and that there was a rational motive behind the killings, with some sort of previously-unseen connection among the victims.
How can you all committ to watching the show?
What if it's up against the Bachelor?!?!/!1?
Stirring up trouble. This is what we do.
I enjoy Tim's stuff and AB always turns in a top notch performance. The girl looks pretty good looking too and that don't hurt. I think the key is just how dark and creepy I find it and if I want to go to "that place" every week. Some people seek that kind of thing out where I usually recoil from it. If there is a middle ground there, I don't know what it is.
I'm also waiting for the episode of House where the patient isn't sick at all — the expensive instrument that he's hooked up to is just broken.
Though, I've no place to send the review.
Allyson: send it to SMRT-tv. [link]
I'm a good friend of Liz, and I bet she'd love the scoop. She's also a big fan of Tim's.

It's got to be coming. They'll eventually exhaust the weirder than weird and hard to diagnose case files.
Perfect. In addition to being great, that episode just might have less of a squick factor.
thinks.
Perhaps not. Still, great idea.
I was in from the second I found out that Tim was involved. I will watch and I will pimp.
