And by 'TPTB', I'm being fairly generic, and not focusing on one show specifically...
There's a lot of talk at the moment, about shows being 'darker, grittier, sexier'. Now clearly, SGU was one of these shows. I remember kicking off about how I didn't want to see a repeat of 'Spooks: Code 9' with a barely out of their teenage years cast, and stupid conduct in inappropriate circumstances. Now, for SGU, I was wrong, I loved the show, however, I've noticed that now 'Primeval: New World' is also set to be darker, grittier, and indeed, sexier. Whilst I can't provide further examples, I'm sure other shows have had this description too...
Which begs the question.
Do these guys even know what sexy is? What makes a show 'sexy'. There was NOTHING 'sexy' about SGU. It was darker and grittier, certainly, but sexy?
As it stands, I can't help but wonder how 'sexy' the new Primeval show will be. It's a very emotive term, which ruffles a lot of feathers, but as far as I've seen, usually amounts to sod all...
