If you like your scifi creepy & dark [which I definitely do], I recommend the online series "Sanctuary," from the same folks who came up with Stargate SG-1 & Stargate Atlantis. "There are monsters loose in the world," the tagline tells us, and some of those monsters are pretty extraordinary. Amanda Tapping [SG-1's Sam Carter] stars as a doctor specializing in xenobiology & cryptozoology, with a patient list that would unsettle Lovecraft.
There are only three episodes thus far [each about 18 minutes], and while we've gotten the gist of the premise, we're very much in the dark about a lot of the details. But, I like what I've seen so far. The usually blonde Tapping is a brunette with a subtle & engaging Brit accent, and her nemesis is played by an exceptionally creepy Christopher Heyerdahl.
The official website, Sanctuary for All, has been experiencing some technical difficulties, so it might or might not be available when you check it out. However, the available episodes can be viewed at YouTube in low-res, or high-res versions can be purchased from the official site for two bucks each. A cool thing to note about "Sanctuary": it's the first scifi series made exclusively for the interweb.
