let us know what you think and ideas for the series.
Seems like it could be interesting!
However, I have to comment on the way that whole speech was delivered. I just didn't...feel it. I know the character is probably some emotionally damaged person but still you need to put some emotion in the way the lines are delivered so not as to give the impression you're reading a script. Still, I feel like this has the potential to be awesome, will definitely keep my eye on this.
Delivery could be better. It's just too monotone. I know it's hard to hide emotion under monotone while acting, but I'm just not feeling it from the character. Listen to how Michael C Hall narrates Dexter - he does an excellent job of it.

Exactly! It's not as much about hiding the emotion as it is about making it feel "off". Like Dr. Evilcop said, if you pay attention to Michael C Hall's acting in Dexter, you'll find that he does indeed show emotion, but in a strange, twisted way (e.g. curiosity, or shit, even arousal when most would show revulsion, etc) as opposed to just hiding it all.
