I... am not sure. I've only watched the first 4 episodes, it only lasted 1 season, and I haven't read the books yet.

The pacing is odd sometimes, and Murphy frustrates me. It also feels like it could use more... voice? I'm not sure. Watching the show, I never really thought of it as noir, but now that you mention it as such, I see where it could be, though it doesn't quite live up to that feel. It's... understated? Yet, despite all that, I find myself intrigued by it.

I dunno. Maybe I'm spoiled by Castle* and Mentalist (and the bit of Psych I watched, I guess, too), and thus expect it to be like those, except with supernatural elements added.

I also suspect that it doesn't explain as much stuff as the books do (as evidenced by my husband's occasional commentary during the episodes).


*... Speaking of Castle, do you watch it? It seems like something you'd fancy.
