Can you save her?

tencrushRandom notes on Girl Number 9 so far. One: 3 minutes 49 seconds is NOT a five-minute episode, James Moran. Once again you're a lying liar who lies. Let's stalk him and call him names, dudes! Or maybe not.
ANYWAY, I had a bit of a problem with this whole endeavour, and subsequently I decided NOT to engross myself in any way in the pre-publicity and twitterings and such. Having not seen the show, I kind of objected to the idea that I might be required to put in pre-emptive effort in order to understand what was going on. It might not be any good, you know? And then I would have wasted my valuable internets time on something that wasn't worth it. Which is why I didn't do it, I wanted to see if it would stand up on its own, which it seems to be doing up to now. (Though I do believe I briefly got the gist that Matheson has kids, so I can see where this might be going, but okay.) So far, it's a thumbs up for me, though it is even shorter than I dreaded, Doctor Horrible's got nothing on this baby.
Gareth's beer belly is kind of mesmerising and wonderfully in-character. I wish I could ascribe it to diligent method acting as opposed to actual beer, but I am more than willing to suspend my disbelief for now. Also, episode one made me realise that I would have probably happily sat through half an hour of GDL swearing at people with that accent, and I'd willingly buy an audiobook of him just saying the word "fuck" over and over. So if anyone's reading, yeah, there's that.
I realise it's supposed to be a thriller, but do they really have to do their policing in a darkened office? You'd think someone would flip the lights on at some point in time. (Oh, and is it too early for me to say that it's all a bit SAW?)
You reckon Moran will dismember a nine-year-old next ep? Come on, he's edgy like that, people. I'm betting yes.
