...City; and there's something cheerfully (if secularly) Mormon about the whole enterprise. It dares to dramatize the innocent emotion of good kids. The movie has its rich-bitch marplot in Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale), the Sarah Jessica Parker of East High, who's sometimes abetted by her twin brother, the prematurely gay Ryan (Lucas Grabeel); but there's not a drop of danger in Sharpay or any other character here.

Some plays are stripped-down monologues, like Judith Thompson...
...statewide manhunt for the “Bay Harbor Butcher” and the only person who knew the truth about him was dead. Now the show lacks the suspense that made it so gripping, instead relying on a series of subplots. These include Dexter befriending a prosecutor whose brother he accidentally murdered. The prosecutor is played by Jimmy Smits, who after “The West Wing” is surely accustomed to being cast in dying shows.
