Without CBS I would've never heard of it

I will agree that the Showtime verison is better than CBS. (With the Sho one you actually get the full story.) But without it showing on CBS I would have never found it. Now I own the first season, the first two books, and I can't wait to see the second season. Unfortunatly I cannot get Showtime because my mother doesn't want me to have it so I'm stuck with just buying the dvd's and hoping CBS will show the second season.
I can totally understand how the CBS verison kinda kills it, but I had no other choice but to watch it there. 2  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

I too think it is a good thing that CBS has shown the Series. But it has cut some of it out as can be expected. I take my hat off to CBS for the great job they did at keeping it intact as much as they did. So, like you say if they had not shown it you as well as a lot of people would not have.
It is a great, or at least a well done program, and the story is amazing. I think alot of us do feel that we are or have gained sympathy for a serial killer. But it is sort of like we have gained insight into the mind of a serial killer. If what we are watching is true as I am sure a true serial killer is not going to come forward and expound on the accuracy of this program. It does make me wonder how the writers did their research though.
I really like the show and I am by no means a serial killer, unless you consider flys and ants a part of this.
The show is so well written, and so well acted, the concept is great. That one can not be drawn into the show, and enjoy it for what it is, that is a well done program.
So NukeForever, welcome and enjoy. Do you find this valuable?
