I don't buy DVDs, but there you go.
I had it so stuck in my head that The Inside was airing on Sunday that I almost called people last night to watch. Thank Dog I checked the schedule first. The DVR is set.

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Sky One have picked up Wonderfalls in the UK. Starts end of the month.
Work continues on convincing them to look at The Inside.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Make sure the trepanation warning is prominently displayed...

Huh. Her objections are not things I would ever have an issue with. The only possible valid point is the one about Rebecca being stalked or kidnapped in all three episodes. I could see that potentially getting old if it happens every week.
Her first issue isn't an issue for me after years of watching Euro-horror, not to mention Se7en and SotL, and her third is a big reason I'm looking forward to the show.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
In the three episodes available for review, most of the victims were women and perpetrators were men.
Most? So it's what? Two out of three?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Two out of three assumes one victim per episode.

What is even happening?
I know exactly what she means, though. I mean, I don't know it with respect to The Inside, but damn, I'm tired of female victims. I watched L&O SVU once, and when I realized it was, as Allyson calls it, "Crimes Against Vaginas" I never again tuned in, despite loving the Munch.
I think my aversion to female victimization is part of the reason I fell in love with BtVS, and why as much as I love Angel, and think it was a more grown up show, it wasn't *my* show the way Buffy was (it was damned close, and became my show by default, later).
Not having seen the series, I thought she was fair to it. She didn't shit on it. She said she's holding her opinion 'til she sees more, and there are some elements which she thinks will weaken it, if they're in every episode.

Well, that doesn't make any sense, because if there's only one victim then the perp isn't a serial killer right?
