Willow ,'Showtime'
[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Based on a novel, the new show, Dexter, takes The Inside episode, "Prefiler" to a whole new level. The lead character, "Dexter", is a serial killer who satiates his homicidal impulses by murdering people who have thus far escaped justice. He also moonlights as a forensic officer for the Miami police. VERY dark, very bizarre, and very good.
eta: Oh and his girlfriend is played by Julie Benz, while Drew Greenberg is a writer and producer on the show.
Oh, wow. I'd been hearing buzz about the show but didn't know what it was about. Thanks, jimi. It does sound pretty cool.
And! It is completely awesome. We had a little viewing party on Sunday night.
I really liked the book, so it's cool that it's a TV show. Maybe I should get Showtime. Although I need more TV to watch like a need a hole in the head.
You should get a lover instead.
Huh?
oh, you're one to talk.
Dude, I thought for sure you'd get the Prince ref, and msbelle would be the one going "Huh?"
Ha -- I knew there was something I wasn't getting, but "Head Like a Hole" was so loud in my head, I couldn't get there.
