Yeah, it is, and yeah, you really really should. *g*

-Bah! The ignorant, superstitious fools!
Yeah, it is, and yeah, you really really should. *g*

Uncanny . . .

Date: 2006-02-22 02:27 pm (UTC)Do you think I would have watched it if it was?! God, no. You get the feeling that there's some higher, spiritual power, but it's not like 'angels we have heard on high, hallelujah' spiritual. It's more karma-like, 'be careful what you do because I will come around and bite you on the ass', twisted kind of spiritual.
The main character is wonderfully sardonic, and sarcastic, and cynical, and I have such a crush. *g*
And, there's a really cute brother, and hot bartender, so, yeah, you're probably going to like it. ;D

Date: 2006-02-22 02:32 pm (UTC)I find it freaky. *g*

Date: 2006-02-22 02:37 pm (UTC)Keen! I like DEAD LIKE ME despite its occasional lapses into whimsy (ie the cornball afterlifes some of the dead folk go into) so I should like this one!

Date: 2006-02-22 02:39 pm (UTC)I wonder if they're involved in the whole wiretapping thing? ;P
no subject
Date: 2006-02-22 03:32 pm (UTC)YES! I kept trying to think of something to compare it to, and yeah, it's like a non-cursing, Dead Like Me only without the dead people, and with talking animal figurines. ;D
