UnBinged: Laughing in the Dark — Reviews of ‘Laid,’ ‘Dexter: Original Sin’ and ‘No Good Deed’

There is nothing like a good laugh, but sometimes the best comedy comes from the darkest, most troubling parts of the psyche. These are cryptic and perhaps wicked moments that can lead to horror, but are instead met with laughter due to how the subject is handled. In this installment of UnBinged, a trio of seemingly dark shows use elements of comedy, parody and satire as a way of coming to grips with the more brutal moments of life … and death….
