“Bored To Death”…But Aroused By The Boobs

October 5, 2009
LUX-ALPTRAUM

Much as we want to like it, "Bored to Death" hasn't impressed us so far (it's definitely no "Hung."). Perhaps that's why they pulled out the big guns last night—and by "big guns," we mean gratuitous nudity.

Was there a legitimate, plot-driven reason for Jessica Blank to walk around topless? Absolutely not. Did she look hot doing it? Yes, absolutely. So we guess that makes it kind of a wash. We're still not sold on "Bored to Death"—but if they keep with the boobs, it might make it into our collection of fast forward hits.
