i can't get over this show's premise. i already fail to understand the popular fascination with serial killers, but a serial killer who serially kills other serial killers is much worse. if i give that a chance i may as well give a movie based on a line of toy robots that turn into toy cars a chance
Well, I put off watching the first season for quite some time because I figured it was just going to be Saw-inspired serial killer porn, or at best Silence of the Lambs-style serial killer porn, but the show, at least the first season, makes its high concept work.
For one, the show is more about the characters than the high concept, and that serial killer that only kills criminals that fall through the cracks (not just other serial killers) is just one out of a pretty memorable cast.
The show really surprised me, and it's probably my favorite new show of last year. Yes, the concept is hokey and the show has some uneven moments, but it gets away with it in the end. Ch-ch-check it out. It's on itunes now.
Also, my write-up on the two season 2 eps.
