threemonkeysI finally managed to get hold of a copy of the first episode of The Inside. I really need to get more download volume to get the rest of this series*. It will be interested in seeing how it developed before it joined the pantheon of "cancelled by Fox".
To be honest, it didn't grab me the way the other shows in the Whedon/Greenwalt/Minear/Fuller chain that I have been following. But it does have character development potential. Katie Finneran and Adam Baldwin are there as sidekicks and that just has to be a good thing. Although they both look so different, so ordinary, in The Inside.The story side looks like it could be solid in a generic profile the serial killer kind of way. You need to have the story side done properly as the counter example of Bones illustrates - great character chemistry but hopeless stories does not make for "must watch" TV. And for me if it isn't "must watch" then it is "no watch".
* I tried to upgrade my account but my ISP made that too hard with a stupidly complicated and ambiguous process. So I sent a "suggestion" to them instead. Really - why make it hard for me to spend more money with them.
