Shallow, self-obsessed people and their sex lives

hunthurst

I can't stand people like this in real life. Why would I want to watch them on TV? The pace is glacial. The colors are completely washed out. The characters are all unlikable to one degree or another. Everyone is moderately well-off and, aside from the one instance of infertility, their problems are all about their vague dissatisfaction with their existences. In short, this show is one long whine. Remember when they made the Brady bunch into a drama? Okay, take that same template, but use Seinfeld as the model. The characters remain unlikable, but all the humor has been removed? Okay, now have Elaine get naked every once in a while, but occasionally throw in scenes of George's parents having sex just to throw off the casual channel surfers. Now take what you have and make it really WASPy. There. You're done. You've just created HBO's latest crime against its subscribers: "Tell Me You Love Me".

Is "Dexter" on?
