Here’s a premise for you: Lizzie Borden killed her father and stepmother because they’d been possessed by some kind of evil supernatural sea-monster. Honestly, though, it’s not that much more absurd than the plot of your average episode of The X-Files, and that was a crossover hit with teenage boys desperate for a glimpse of Scully’s cleavage. (To the men who were those boys, I say: you should totally watch The Fall, not only is it a great crime drama, you get to see Gillian Anderson in her bra, plus she bangs that kid who played Merlin. He’s not so great-looking. THAT COULD BE YOU.)
