Also, THERES A TALKING CAT.

(And he is grumpy.)

Backtracking a bit: Manfred moves to Midnight because his dead grandmother recommends it to him.

And I dont mean that in a she spoke to me in a dream sort of way.

Manfred literally sees dead people, including his late grandmother riding shotgun in his RV.

Honestly, Im surprised the towns population isnt 666.

The local gang is called the Sons of Lucifer.

Midnights not the same as most places.

Manfreds dead grandmother

Olivia (Arielle Kebbel), the hitwoman, literally has a Red Room of Pain.

Theres a growling red light coming from Manfreds basement.

In short, if you were hoping for the nextTrue Blood, this is not it.

But then Manfred returns home to his over-the-top haunted house and Im reminded whatMidnightis all about.

And its just a bit much.

Did I mention the talking cat?
