This week saw the launch of Furious, a new crime drama from Elizabeth Meriwether (New Girl and Dying for Sex) that focuses on the cat-and-mouse tale of traumatized FBI agent Alice Black (Emmy Rossum), who's tracking a female serial killer (Lola Petticrew) on a deadly quest for vengeance.
In my review of the series, I cheered Meriwether's masterful blend of dark subject matter with resilient humor.
In particular, I praised the way she managed to make a show that addresses child trafficking and sexual assault without making a spectacle of either.
