Short and sweet like cookies and tea

I recommend the 6 part Jekyll mini series to all of you who enjoy being entertained by goulish stories of men devoured by their own demons. This is a great modern update (you might even call it a sequel) to the classic tale, with some fantastic twists that make it a true original. Although I wan’t familiar with his work before this series, James Nesbitt is perfectly cast as the troubled man. No spoilers here, go find it for yourself.

Is it just me, or is some of the best t.v. coming from the BBC? CBC, take some notes.

In comic books, Angel: After the Fall Preview is up on AICN. I’m very excited.

And finally, on network television I’m digging Journeyman (I miss Quantum Leap, so sue me), and Bionic Woman (bonus points if you know the link between Jekyll, above, and Bionic Woman).

So, mindless entertainment: 1, reality: 0. Well played.
