This show is about a pretty gruesome murder in a small Canadian town and the detective who investigates it.

It starts out in a pretty heady way, with the brutal murder and keeps things quite strange throughout the pilot. They don't keep too much hidden, in fact they reveal quite a lot right away, but they still manage to keep the show entertaining and oddly mysterious. They give some clues to lure you into thinking one thing, but then you realize that you were wrong and want to see more to find out what exactly is going on.

This is actually a rather high-quality Canadian show that does not suffer from some of the differences that Americans (and Canadians even) tend to dislike about Canadian programs.

Durham County is a Canadian show. I know what you're thinking, and I generally agree, but this is actually a pretty good show. It also shows that Canadians can swear and have boobs just like Americans. :lol:

It is much like Twin Peaks and shares a lot of aspects with it. There is a murder (several actually), a lot of mystery and strange things happening, and has a fairly dark and washed out mood and tone to it.

The show was apparently billed as a mini-series at first, but a second season is now in production. This proves that the program has legs.

A great way to watch this show is to record the whole six-episode run and watch all five hours of it in a single sitting. It feels like a moderately long movie.

It was lame that they assumed that Sam was the Devil's kid just because the washing machine didn't fall on him. Did it ever occur to them that maybe it wasn't Sam that stopped it? Maybe it was the Devil that floated it. Their little experiment proves nothing, duh.

Andy said what I figured out as a little kid. Having the Devil prove that he exists is anything but scary. His existence proves the existence of an after-life, Heaven and Hell, God, etc. So it would be a wonderful thing if he confronts you (yes, it would still be a a little scary, but then you just remember that God who was just proven to exist should be looking out for you). This is why the Devil's greatest trick was to pretend he doesn't exist; doubt and fear are much worse than whatever he can do.

I love the imagery of Sam playing catch with his "daddy". :D

It was narrow-minded of Soc to think that Marlena would be into a threesome; she is a succubus, not a sexual-deviant-a demon not a perverted human.

Also, it was interesting that Soc could capture the demon. That really helps Sam out, since he does not have to actually do it himself all the time (I suppose he doesn't technically have to do it at all).

I can't wait for more.

This two-parter ended quite well. While it would have been nice for Earl to have a girl, I guess it wouldn't really have worked; he's got his brother, and the list isn't finished yet.

Earl's desire to make things right is the driving force of the show and it was nice that he was encourage to continue doing so. Of course he was only doing good things to have good things happen to him, which by Dante's definition would restrict him to the Second Sphere of Heaven, but that's still better than abandoning the list like he almost did a few episode ago.

It may not be a series finale, but it may as well be.

With half the cast leaving and Lex finally finding out Clark's secret, it may as well end here.

The show already felt different when they graduated high-school and everyone was suddenly a grown up, but now it is going to be even weirder. Smallville was always billed as the adventures of young Clark Kent. Well, he's not a kid anymore. At this point he is pretty much old enough to be Superman now. I suspect that they may bridge that gap next season (the last) with him learning to fly and eventually getting a suit.
