Hemlock Grove

I like supporting Netflix. It sounds funny to say that a huge company like that is the struggling little guy, but compared to HBO and the like, it's not a bad descriptor. So I've been trying to watch the "Netflix original series." I tried House of Cards, but got bothered by a few things and gave up. Lilyhammer was just kind of awful. But I am excited for the return of Arrested Development.

Right now I'm stuck on Hemlock Grove. This is not a good show by any definition, but something keeps me watching. Maybe it's the characters that appear and disappear without explanation. Maybe it's the extreme close-ups of anyone having a dialog. Maybe it's the occasional slip up with the Canadian accent. But something keeps me coming back. Perhaps I need to redefine what I mean by enjoyment.
