Your guilty pleasure show
I've already said that I'd like to call this The Wild Wild West and have done with it- because a show that's imperfect, but a huge amount of fun, and that I sometimes like against my better judgement, is how I define a guilty pleasure show- but it really is just my favorite. Otherwise, if I like a show I like it, and I don't really waste time apologizing for it.
So, I'm going a little out of the box by doing Profit here, because I know just how good it was. But here's the thing- I watched the making-of documentary and audio commentaries on the DVDs religiously, and I've never forgotten something Adrian Pasdar remarked on the audio commentary of the pilot. He said that the director had told him- and he took it very much to heart- that the only difference between a comedy and a horror movie is the music. This piece of advice really is the spirit of Profit in a nutshell, and it's why I call it my guilty pleasure show- it's a psychological thriller and a dark comedy all once, and most of the time I find myself laughing at things I might well cry or cringe over under other circumstances because the writers have put me so firmly on the wrong side of so many issues. I love watching Jim do the crazy, awful things he does, and yet I kind of feel bad about it at the same time.
