Apparitions, Ep 2
Nov. 28th, 2008 12:05 amDear show: if you're going down the Philip Pullman line, I will be a bit disappointed though( I'm not entirely sure what they're doing thus far, which is refreshing. Spoilers. )
On a side note, it strikes me that when US TV does horror/ hunters-vs-demons, it gives us Supernatural, with two hot young men and a sexy car, and attractive women (even if I understand that some of them are actually demons). The BBC, in a parallel case, gives us a crumpled late-middle-aged man in a dog collar (and no car), demons who are possessing middle management types or tramps, or are in league with elderly church functionaries, and absolutely no eye candy for anyone of any persuasion, not even in terms of vestments.
Actually, I think this speaks for the BBC, but it's an interesting difference.
