I have been anticipating Intruders since BBC America first started airing those WTF commercials showing nothing but Mira Sorvino with a thousand yard stare saying, "We will be alright. Because in the beginning there was death."
BBCA showed this ad about a million times over; unlike the Orphan Black ad's repetition of Sarah-as-Beth's "damn right!", I never got tired of it.
(There was this one time, in the middle of the night, when my husband decided to stand next to my side of the bed, swaying and staring until I asked him if he was okay. And then he said, "We'll be alright; because in the beginning there was death." I threw a stuffed Stitch at him. So I may have been on about Intruders a bit much.)
Then they started showing the teaser ad with this little girl, Madison, and a bloodied corpse in a bathtub. "I can even make this [body] work," she declares.
Dear readers, I was sold. I've always been interested in tales dealing with death, and the personification or subversion thereof. Throw in JAMES FRAIN, Mira Sorvino, John Simm, a creepy little girl, mysterious - possibly arcane - triggers, a little Latin, and conspiracy theories? I AM SO THERE. So there they might as well put a little engraved nameplate on my chair.
BBC America gave me the opportunity last night to watch the premiere early, so I grabbed my headphones and dove right in. How was it?
