Eh… how is that Alan Ball’s new show? The Six Feet Under premiere had a hook to it; this was boring, and shot like a damn soap opera, to the point that I don’t see how the definitive edit could save it. It’s a vampire story written by Alan Ball, for crying out loud; how can it manage not be cool? If it weren’t for Anna Paquin (who looks nice as a blonde), I’d believe this was a students’ prank.

By the way, it’s not the first time I see a vampire story with the human noticing that the vamp has creepy cold hands. I’ve never touched a corpse, but don’t many people have their extremities roughly at room temperature? Would the difference be that shocking?
