Ok, watched episode # 3 of this strange but addicting program. One thought I came away with is if Dakota Fanning is going to considered for an acting award she needs to revert to type and start hyperventilating. Her range of emotion cover from dead to deader. Perhaps the role, to not be able to determine any of her motives or thoughts on any subject at all. Is she in love with the doctor, is she in love with the artist, is she a lesbian. She tells her friend she is in love with a doctor but then we see a scene when she is about to have a relationship with the artist. Who knows, I don't.<br>

Anyway, one also gets the impression that not only was electric lighting not wide spread in NYC in 1895 but it appears sunlight had not been discovered either. I understand a lot of the "action" occurs at night because that is when the murders are committed but they are not moles, they can come out in the sunlight on occasion can't they?<br>
<br>
I don't think the series is glorifying "boy $#@!s" or transvestites. I think it is looking at two things, the vice and corruption in NYC government at the time (have things changed??) and the fact that no one cared if these young men were murdered or not.<br>

Next episode Trish, Fanning will either admit she is actually in love with the artist mother or the artist will admit he is attracted to nubile young men. Or maybe none of that will happen. Thomas Edison will pay a visit to the city and shout "Let there be light"
