As I said, I do not watch the show. However, I might (like others) have eventually watched re-runs or tuned in to see what the fuss was about.

You are right, and as I stated at the very begining I am passing judgment based only on PR. This is supposed to be entertainment, if this is the publicity the producers are cultivating for brining in new viewers, it seems very unwise.

Given the nature of the series, the homosexual will probably end up burned alive in his automobile or some other distasteful death. As Rush has said, the series is like watching a train wreck. Either way enjoy.

If you watch it long enough (I've seen every episode except for 3 in the 2nd season), the show takes on a very personal and surreal tone. It's probably the best written television drama ever (aside from the A-Team) and that is not hyperbole.
