    Sandra,

    Re your comment below:

    "In truth, it's very hard to do a series that's truly noir, because the strictest definitions of noir require the death or destruction (ie: in an asylum) of the protagonist in the end."

    The strcitest definitions of noir require that it be a crime story that an atmosphere that is dark and sinister. ANything stricter than that is simply incorrect.
