Rogue's Review:

Good title, lousy show

This series seems to be a long string of clichés, each one more tired than the other. Duchovny's character is a novelist suffering from writer's block who's p.o.'d because his book was made into a lousy movie and he's got a daughter with his ex-girlfriend, whom he misses but they're not together because she cheated, blah blah blah. Now he's skidding slowly but surely to the bottom, his only possible saving grace being the fact that he can still get it up.

The pilot did include some outrageous scenes and clever dialogue, but it felt like outrageousness-for-the-sake-of-outrageousness to me; it just didn't ring true. The last scene shows Duchovny getting all misty thinking about the past, with his girlfriend and daughter, played out to the strains of a cover of Rocket Man. For this they cancelled Huff?

8/21/07 : Watched the second ep last night, just to see if it had improved since the pilot, and this one was even worse. Note to the writers: when the high point in a show is 2 naked people projectile vomiting, you've got some 'splainin' to do. Obnoxious is not the new witty, nor will it ever be.
