I'll try to be objective, even though I'm an Ethan Embry fan... Freakylinks was an ok show. It wasn't spectacular, but it was better than many of the new shows this season that outlasted it. The problem was that the show didn't live up to its premise. It was supposed to be dark and scary, but it was more funny than it ought to have been. It was taking the middle ground between horror and comedy that was its downfall. While some shows can get away with that (like Buffy the Vampire Slayer) it is because the plotlines evolved into an in between state, not that they aimed for it to begin with. I think the show might have been more successful if it had set out to be a comedy or a horror show, not both. It's sad that we'll never find out if the show could have become what it wanted to be- one of those rare sci-fi shows on network tv that people liked.
