Hey Jimmer
Not seen it yet but i read about it before it premiered (i.e. before you found about it!! 
) and thought it sounded pretty good - was just a bit putoff at the thought of some of the freakshow elements which i know is kinda the point but still... [cowardly]
So this is the second culture thread you and i have started this week with us just attracting like one or two posts to our threads.. our taste is like, so popular.. 
Hey,
Yeah I love this show, the second season was released on DVD just a while back in Australia. What a headfuck. Love it.
The first time I saw it was the last episode of Season 1, being screened on TV, and I said 'what the hell is this?' Disappointed to discover it was the last episode of the season, I went out and bought Season 1 on dvd.
It was a shame to hear that the show was axed after Season 2.
People on here just don't appreciate culture! 
It's pretty sick, not in a freakshow way, but in quite a disturbing way. But I think that's one of the good things about it.
I watched the last episode of series 1 last night (after watching the whole series in order) and I don't know if I can handle waiting until the DVD peeps post us the next series. That's gutting that it got axed, can see why it wouldn't go down to well in America though!
Saying that it is kind of similar to Lost which people love.
