The pilot isn't very good or it doesn't follow the books?
Buffy ,'Showtime'
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

I've heard it stinks worse than circa 1995 rat-eating Angel must have.

Well, that's a shame. The books are pretty decent. Not great, but entertaining. Reichs does go on at length on some of the forensics/science stuff that I tend to skim, but the character development is good and Temperance is a likeable, smart lead.
In the previews, DB is looking and sounding mighty smarmy.
It made me realise how much I was taking for granted with The Inside. I mean, we have a woman who has difficulty relating to others, who's had a huge trauma as a kid, and is devoting their life to solving issues relating to death and crime.
But completely uninteresting. Yeah, I bitched about Rebecca's blank affect. This isn't that. This is ... plasticky. The writing's not tight, the suspense non-existent.
Just not good.

Didn't work for Point Pleasant.

Totally. The books have a much more serious tone, IIRC.
Oh, and now seems the time to ask. The Tivo Newsletter seems to believe that Monk is a spinoff of CSI. Can somebody tell me they're craxy before my head explodes?

Big-time craxy.

The book character that, I believe, DB's character is based on is pretty arrogant, but he can be charming, too. He's a detective trying to woo Temperance, but she's very skittish (been hurt, blah blah blah). So, he's trying to woo without becoming too overpowering. One of the things I like about the book character is that he's not all schmoopy with her. Arrogant? Oh yeah. Smarmy? Not.

Didn't work for Point Pleasant.Fair point.
