So there's this extremely cheesy daily nighttime soap called Watch Over Me. It airs on My Network TV and is about the romance between this woman engaged to an arms dealer (though she doesn't know that... yet) and the guy her boyfriend hired to be her bodyguard. It's about as silly as it sounds, but one of the subplots involves a character played by Casper VanDien, who is deeply closeted, but about to embark on a fling with the woman's gay roommate. Dien's character is an assassin who deals biological weapons to foreign countries, so you know it won't end well. Imagine finding that out about your boyfriend! I find myself oddly intrigued by this over the top drama in a sort of 'just how bad can this get' way. At least until my regular shows are back from their holiday hiatuses.
