Starz seems thoroughly determined to out-do both HBO and Showtime in sheer spectacle and sleaze. They're countering HBO's classy Game of Thrones with what sounds like a thoroughly outrageous Camelot (Merlin as a cross between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Willy Wonka and Don Rumsfeld?), and now they're aiming the power tools at Showtime's Dexter by upping the stakes.
McDonough will take on the title role: an ex-cop turned priest who is cleaning up the streets of Los Angeles "one sinner at a time".
