Jul. 9th, 2010 01:48 pmI’ve been watching Happy Town, a doomed (and cancelled) series that was better than it was given the chance to be, and probably deserves a lot more geek love than it was getting. I mean really, this is a world where Warehouse 13 has a second season, so its not like standards are all that high.
One of the high points is Sam Neil as Merritt Grieves, a British fop up until the last episode where he’s drugging folks, planning three steps ahead and then he puts on a leather jacket and stares down a mob. And all I can think is “He would make a hell of a John Constantine.”
That was one of many problems of that movie, they hired a pretty boy for a role that is anything but pretty.
Now I just want someone to hire Sam Neill to do some gritty urban fantasy movie or series. He’d be so very, very cool.
