This was an enjoyable, character-driven thriller. The comparison to "X-Files" is appropriate, but it succeeds where "X-Files" failed for me. As a big science fiction and horror fan, I really wanted "X-Files" to work, but it lost me pretty quickly; I felt that "X-Files" was poorly written, the conclusions mostly unsatisfactory, and the protagonists not overly likable or competent. "The Deer Woman" does work. The protagonists are likable. The story is light-weight but progresses along smoothly. The gore is mostly off-screen. My only problems are that the motivation of the title character is unclear, she never speaks, and the ending is a little ambiguous; overall, though, "Deer Woman" kept my interest. It was an agreeable way to spend an hour, and I look forward to viewing other episodes of this series.
