Synopsis: Writer Mike Dolan has had great success with his best-selling book Glory Days, where he tried to come to terms with his father's mysterious death. Back in his hometown on Glory Island, most people resent him for it because they so obviously were the basis for the characters (which is not exactly flattering). When he returns home due to an anonymous letter, he is reminded just how scary small-town Glory can really be as more and more mysterious murders occur ...
Comments/Review: Another brilliant show that ended after only a half season. I really don't understand why. It has lots of chemistry, thrilling story lines, and is fun to watch. Okay, so Glory Days gets a little icky at times, and very scary, but its many other assets make up for it. The characters are likeable and interesting because there is so much going on between them and a lot going on in their past that affects them still. Very cool!
Unfortunately, there is only such a small number of episodes. I really wish they had done more with the show. It's real good.
Additional Information: Of the 13 episodes that were produced, only 9 were aired.
The opening theme is the song "Excess" by Tricky
Filmed in Vancouver, Canada.
DVD-Tip: I would recommend buying the 4-discs Glory Days-Box. The Demontown DVDs contain only 7 episodes of the 9 that were aired, somehow cut together like a film.
Taglines: Small towns lure evil. Welcome to Glory: Population ... Dwindling
There's the old myth, 'you can never go home again,' but what if home is the only place you can always go to?
