It's probably hard to keep people attached when it never gets off the ground.

It wasn't great but I think it was well-received. They made a sequel to it based on the fake diary that was made as a companion to it, IIRC.

I feel like this is the kind of show that your namesake would truly enjoy, with no irony whatsoever.

I'm interested in The Shop and the Overlook Hotel, although I wish the latter was also a series and not a movie. A Talisman series also has potential. The Dark Tower tv & movie project would be great in the right hands.

Ain't no Dome that's high enough,
Ain't no Dome that's low enough,
Ain't no Dome that's wide enough,
To keep me from changin' the channel.

I only watched the first few minutes as I was curious if they'd really kill the blond guy. Then that cop got smashed by a truck. Then that woman from Hit & Miss and latter day Misfits showed up, and it made me sad because she can really do better.

I agree with you. That was really, really gross. It took a genuinely good discussion and sucker-punched you with some hateful and condescending bullshit.

That is very true. If they were going to just kill Van Helsing, they should have just cast someone else. David Warner would be a great regular addition to this show.

Definitely a degree of truth. I think a demon's typical MO is to tempt/manipulate around a grain of truth. But even if he's above board, asking someone to actively be the "back" or "left" hand is pretty offensive and manipulative. I'm very interested in her response - this may lead to her trying to control it, which…

I like the fact that he's brutal and loathsome

He'll rip your lungs out, Jim Kidd.

I liked AWWIL since at least he seemed larger than the average wolf, and keeping him in shadows and quick shots (for the most part) really worked well in a "less is more" sense.

I thought he looked very smart and civilized in his ability to wolf out and remain clothed. I'm happy it is a wolfman as well. Werewolves are hard to do well when it is a jacked-up monster wolf: I love American Werewolf in London, but hate Buffy's Oz. I also really dislike when werewolves just turn into normal…

I was going to say the same thing, basically. But I think the Wolfman is under copyright, so he's probably as close as they can get without getting sued.

I was also a little confused why he didn't help her float out on a cloud of opium or something much more pleasant than smothering. Probably wants to keep the good drugs to himself.

Green and Dalton and pretty much everyone is fantastic in this. Agreed about Hartnett. I was not expecting he'd be able to bring such a great "A" game. I'd written him off as a undeserving and pre-packaged teen heartthrob years ago. Happy to be proven wrong here.

I think they are strongly hinting she's his biological daughter. But it also could have just been his realization, encouraged by Ethan last week, that Vanessa is here and alive and in need of a father figure.

I was always hopeful it would be good, but it's such a pleasant surprise how all the elements are balanced. It's a perfect mix of drama, comedy and horror. Possibly the best new show this year.

I think they've done a really good job of setting him up as just truly monstrous, as he said, in ways that have nothing to do with how he looks and everything to do with his how he feels about himself. The Monster with a personality disorder, if you will.

If not possessed, he has definitely switched sides. That was all about getting her to give in to temptation.
