TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.


EW had a story awhile ago about January Jones optionng or buying the rights to this book. Still true?
Betty Draper as a serial killer! PURE GENIUS!
They should do a crossover episode with Portlandia.
They must not forget to include a gay couple adopting a kid into story.
Hopefully not a series killer.
I hope this is more Silence of the Lambs and less Criminal Minds.
And hopefully nothing like the last two seasons of Dexter.
This is a perfect role for Sarah Michelle Gellar. Get it SMG!
Still somewhat interested in what horrible thing happened in the woman’s past that led her to destroy so many men’s lives. I know I’m not the only one…
Fox’s Kevin williamson/ Kevin Bacon series about a serial killer/professor and his relationship with a damaged FBI agent (Bacon) seems like it is treading the same water.
Seems like type casting to me.
Lol seriously though she is one of the few actresses that has inspired viceral hatred towards their character. She could make a good duplicitous serial killer
Yeah because female serial killers are so common. They are so extremely rare it’s ridiculous.
How about a male serial killer? Much more likely guys.
I’m fascinated with the Heartsick novels. I always thought they would make an awesome mini-series. Mark Ruffalo would be great as Archie.
First of all, everyone saying “I hope it’s not like this or this.” if you read the books you will know what it will be like. If not, please go read them or shut up.
I’m more curious to see who will play Archie and Susan. I feel like Gretchen should be less of a presence and more of an urban legend on the show. Or I guess that’s how I’d like to see it. That’s how I feel she is in the books, like it’s special when she’s actually present in them, not just talking about her.
To the people complaining about it, it’s very simple… Don’t watch it, and leave it to the Chelsea Cain and FX fans to enjoy, just saying.
