Yes, Crossing Over has been brought to Sweden, by Channel 5, the main moron channel of Swedish television. They did add a disclaimer about it being “pure entertainment”, but I can think of another label: “pure bullshit”.
I watched it for a few minutes, and kept asking myself: who the fuck in the blue blazes of hell and damnation falls for this tripe? I watched the version edited for TV, and I wasn’t impressed in the least, so how can anyone watch this in real life and buy it?
In the part I saw, the cold reader had established that the victims were there to talk to a murdered female relative of theirs.
A-mazing! How did he know that? And it’s abso-fucking-lutely amazing how he also knew that she was in a vehicle of any sort when she died, that the killer had a vehicle of any sort, that the murder happened anywhere near a vehicle of any sort, and any number of other possibilities that the victim would helpfully have supplied!
Yes? He missed by one hundred per cent, but the moron credits it as a hit.
Huh? 4th street is not 5th street. But again, the victims are nothing but wide-eyed wonderment.
About the murder itself:
No fucking shit, Sherlock. We’ve already established that she was shot from behind in her driveway. Would you do that a) in front of a crowd, or b) when there’s no-one around?
My God. The guy keeps saying “I don’t know if…” all the time and the victim keeps confirming or denying, quite happily doing the cold reader’s work for him. He stands there and guesses away, and the audience just swallows it. Who are these morons? And who’s the fucking conscience-impaired incestuous mouth-breathing shitlicker who decided to bring it into my livingroom?
I’ve always known this stuff was fake. I’ve always known it’s swallowed only by grieving people who need closure and total idiots. But I’ve never known how obvious it was, never having seen the shit before. Now I know. I grieve for mankind, John Edwards. Can you get in touch with that for me?
