This show really does suffer from The Glee effect. It's all wonderful concepts and occasionally brilliant moments mixed in with a bunch of "Wha?" and "For frakking real?" and "Oh, come on!"

From the beginning the show hasn't known what it really wants to be. Like, why would they make Bo someone who's killed for years if they wanted her to be a fluffy, innocent character? They could have just, you know, not made her have killed people! She's their creation. But they WANTED a dark edge to the show.

Then, episodes like the spider one, and the forest guy one, and even the foot soup one definitely have a funny concept to them. But this weeks episode was a about a serial murderer who gleefully killed off women if pretty horrific ways (shown and discussed in detail). That is not a case that should be dealt with campily.

I like the show, I watch it religiously, from my episode posts you can tell I get excited when I'm watching it. I just wish that someone/some people had thought things through more clearly. Because with a minimum of effort they could have avoided my major issues with the show.
