Oh, GOD, this is painful.

Attention: Do NOT WATCH the American Touching Evil. It will steal your soul.

There is not a single, recognisable character in it. Nor is there anything resembling good detective work. *shudders*

It makes me want to scream.

David Creegan: Completely insane, yet he's asked back. Claims to have been 'sent back' to stop the bad guys. Baby Jesus is crying. The real Creegan was very good at covering up how fractured he was, and he was only dead for about a minute, total. On the operating table.
Susan Branca: By the book hardass bitch. The real Susan Taylor could walk all over her faster than she can blink.
Faux!Kreitman: Barely noticeable.
Peter Wingfield: Obviously Rivers, but I have no fucking clue what his name on the show is. Rarely speaks.
Ronald Hinks: Not really scary. In fact, so un-scary as to make me mock him. And the real Hinks was creepy with just a look. This one is... boring.

There's a lot of good dialogue completely cut from this. We don't get the beautiful Rivers-tackles-Creegan-into-a-pile of leaves scene. It's so sad. We get a grabs the shoulders of scene. It's pathetic.

And there is no Barry. Dude, I HEART Barry. He's, like, my second-favourite-tv boyfriend.

There is an ex-Mrs. Creegan. No clue what her first name is.

The music isn't too bad, but it's not the haunting themes of the original.

However, the DOG is the best actor in the entire show.

I have figured out one of the reasons this new version of Dave Creegan bothers me. Because they've excused him from being responsible for his actions. He had some of his frontal lobe removed, and so it's "all right" for him to act like a lunatic. Because he's crazy and sick, and it's not like he'd do this normally.

Yes.

But the original Dave was fucked in the head *before* he was shot. Being shot just gave him an excuse to be suicidal. He was still completely human, and could still be disturbed by what he had done.

And. Dude. It so came back to bite him on the ass.
