OK, so sometimes, I really do love US television.
With both Dexter 2.01-2.02 and Weeds 3.01 getting leaked, I've been in heaven. Two fantastic new seasons of two fantastic series. Dean/Doug may be my new OTP, now that Nancy/Celia seems off the table. I don't suppose someone could rec me any Dexter or Weeds fic? Pretty please?
Also, The Sarah Connor Chronicles 1.01 has been leaked. Haven't watched it yet; Summer Glau or no, it's still Fox and I fully expect it to be cancelled in about... uh... 4, 3, 2, 1...
ETA: SCC was pretty good. Which of course means that it will be cancelled. But hey, Summer Glau fighting while nekkid, can't go wrong with that really.
Also also: prettiness.

Really? Crap, I may have to watch it. ;-) Recurring role or just a guest spot?

Date: 2007-07-22 09:39 pm (UTC)Case in point:
Dexter is about Dexter Morgan, a - to quote a phrase - serial serial killer killer. He's an utter psychopath who has been conditioned by his stepfather to only kill those who deserve it - mainly serial killers. And he's good at it. What he's NOT good at is living like a normal person while he hides what he is from the rest of the world; he can act human, but he's about as coldly emotionless as Mr Spock. Cue much delving into the darker sides of the human psyche, free will, right and wrong etc. Oh, and it stars Julie Benz of Angel fame.
Weeds is a lot more funny, but possibly even better IMO; a dark comedy about a housewife in a rich California suburb who, when she suddenly finds herself widowed, starts selling pot to her neighbours to make ends meet. Only as it turns out, that's not really a solution but just gets her into even more trouble... brilliant satire on middle class suburbia and excellent character drama too. Plus, like I said, funny as hell.
