Jayne ,'Ariel'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
It is creeptastic, for sure. Some jumpy-outy scares, which are not my favorite, but the performances and crossing of well-known storylines is delicious.
Billie Piper is in the cast, but was not featured in the first episode. Timothy Dalton, whose performances have not thrilled me since Jane Eyre, is actually terrific here.
Creepy-deepy effects galore.
Everyone I know who's watched it has told me I will love it, with the exception of Typo's spoilerfont warning. I'll get around to watching it soon.

What are Jillfonts ?
Jon,
the term we use for arachnids.
Aha. I missed that origin story.
Yeah. Hi, I'm the resident goth and I'm TERRIFIED of spiders.
I knew about the arachnophobia, but not the term "jillfont" (which I am still baffled by, but whatever).
Well, spoilerfont means spoilers are contained within. So jillifont is a way to say spiders without really saying it.
Got it. And "jillfont" is Typo's typo.
