Wicked City Season 1 Episode 1

I watched the Pilot last night in spite of hearing awful things the past couple of weeks from industry insiders. Their negative reviews actually made me want to see this more than anything else. Having just watched it, I see why they are negative toward this Serial Killer series. Yes, it's saturated with cliche after cliche. There's nothing original and it's kind of hard to actually be original in this genre, save for Dexter. The other thing that came to mind was how this got onto ABC of all places. I look at ABC as being more family friendly than most other networks. So, I was kind of shocked to see so many scenes involving stimulated blow jobs as well as an implied Necrophilia between the main characters with her laying perfectly still, not moving, not breathing, etc... It was creepy to see on a Prime Time Network for sure. On HBO or FX, I wouldn't have blinked. Women for sure are not going to be watching this series at all. So, not sure what the mindset is of ABC other than wanting to be "edgy". With that said, I still enjoyed the episode just for the music alone if not the story and characters. I love that ABC broke the bank in getting classic songs from the 80's from Billy Idol, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett and more. I liked that the first scene starts off on the Sunset Strip with Ratt headlining the show and then showing Stephen Percy as the doorman at the Whiskey as his 'younger self' is on stage rocking out with Ratt. I'll stick around to see where they take this series for the next couple of episodes. Besides, I want to see how much money ABC will spend on hit songs from the 80s for each episode.
