well frell me dead. stupid USA Networks

looks like i'm gonna have to watch the damned channel again. grrr.

seems like they've brought over the BBC original series Touching Evil, which starred Robson Greene. mmmmmmm, Robson.

so USA's version stars Jeffrey Donovan. folks may recognize this yummy hunk of maleness when he had a reoccurring role as Kyle, Jarrod's brother in The Pretender, and also a very bittersweet guest role as Daniel Germaine in Witchblade, season 2. he played the roman soldier that mocked Christ, cursed to walk the earth for eternity.

the character name will even be the same, Dave Creegan. the USA Networks version has Keegan as having died after having been shot, survived the shooting and eventually came back to work...different. not sure how they'll treat that, but the short teaser looked interesting and i've enjoyed his acting so, i'll give it a shot. there's a very funny line in the teaser where his fellow detective asks him what being dead was like...he says..."there was a Starbucks on every corner." hee.

executive producer this is Bruce Willis. yes, that Bruce Willis, along with the Hughes Brothers and Arnold Rifkin. not a bad lead staff, so, it has the potential to not suck.

stupid USA. how am i supposed to stay LFN bitter if they put on a good show. damn it.

How are you liking it so far? I loved the first ep, but am almost over Pruitt Taylor-Vince. *This* close. Jeffrey Donovan? Sigh!

loving it. Donovan is fabulous. he's quietly obnoxious and very much smoldering...and he's a very good Creegan.

his snarks are always subtle and totally deadpan which makes them clever and so much funnier. in this week's ep, which co-starred Bradley Cooper from Alias (Will), they were frelling hysterical.

his co-star is also spot-on. they changed the character's name and slightly altered the relationship between her and Creegan, but she is full of depth and very enjoyable.

i'm giving it high kudos so far.
