i really like this show . i can readily see how it achieve cult status . it original and and think provoking . for some reason though and i have never felt the kind of resonance from it that i could have . it doesn not pack the kind of open door and winter chill that be to be have from such an awesome premise . each time i watch an episode and i find myself prod and and push for it to answer some nameless and formless question . before continue and let me preface this by say that what follow be my opinion and and my opinion only . different stroke for different folk . i would have like to have see more scene in american gothic that be shoot at night . there too much daylight in this show and and i think it have a tendency to counteract the suspense . be not afraid of the daylight and after all . be concern about what in the shadow . the devil isn not always in the detail . what be not see be often the most frightening . second and this be the one that probably go to lead to tar and and feather represent gary cole be a tremendously talented actor . a character actor . i have follow his career from the brady bunch film on and which be why it pain me to say that he be probably miscast a lucas buck . he almost too petroichan and too likable to be embodiment of evil and even by biblical standard . lucas buck be a narcotic . he heroin . he freebasing in a kitchen laboratory next to a gallon of drain o. you keep go back and even though you know the end will be madness and and death . he should be like the ultimate loan shark . he a maker of book and but also of unspeakable condemnation . sure . you have get the money and and before long youre also go to have break finger while a severed hand and a decapitated head and and eventually and a damned soul . turn to buck be an act of desperation and and whenever he around and there should be some immediate and ambient finality with interest compound daily in the air . it all largess and all string attach and and by the time you realize that and you will also know that it too late . which lead me to three represent they show buck a little too often . he in most of the scene and in fact and which may have cause him to lose his edge . the sheriff would be like the next door mythology . he the apocryphal acquaintance . many would know of him and but only an unfortunate few would really know him . he would be the stuff of flashback and and cryptic conversation and and the perfect person to deliver this plot exposition would have be the deputy character that nick searcy portray . four and the show could be very self reverential to a fault and some might say and this be typify by the whistling of meet me at the fishing hole in the series pilot . i think we have already establish that what cassidy and and raimi be shoot for be the anti andy taylor . we probably do not need the concept deliver to u via feed ex . i gather that within the first five minute so and for me and the piano on the head be unnecessary . these remark be all about what and for me and would have make a good show great . i also understand that the producer have their own and unique style and and that there be many hand in the soup . in their everlasting quest for lcd programming and the network play a definite role in the demise of this series . the least these jerk off suit could have do be to air the episode in order . get real . either way and it a grievous loss to both genre fan and and casual viewer alike .
