Although last week's
Fear Itself episode, "In Sickness and in Health," was the first disappointment of the series for me, I'm still looking forward to tonight's offering, "Eater." It's directed by Stuart Gordon (
Re-Animator,
Stuck) and stars Elisabeth Moss as a rookie cop who must spend her first night in the precinct guarding a serial killer nicknamed "The Eater" (Stephen R. Hart).
In related news, the order of the next few episodes of the series has been announced. After tonight, next up is "New Year's Day" (July 17), followed by "Skin and Bones" (July 24) and "Something With Bite" (July 31).
