The entire cast is great, the writing is great, it doesn't take itself too seriously but can still surprise you with some unexpected pathos, and it whips along at a terrific pace. It's very Buffyish. And it has the best pungame in television. I avoided it because the comics bored the tits of me, I might give it a shot though at some point. ETA: also the name is utter dogshit. |

The thing with Keifer being president was betterer for my attention. It isn't. It does a great job of mingling overarching plot with individual storylines that stay within their episode. It's also a fantastic US politics primer. |

I would have ditched iZombie for The West Wing but then Craster is all manner of wrong in the Annie vs Britta debate so what does he know really? Also everyone has been nice about iZombie and that's what I was finding so I shall carry on with that. And American Gods. And Colony (bit meh) And Dark Matter (she wants me to watch that - any good?) |

By all means finish watching iZombie if you've started but if you then don't go on to watch The West Wing (especially if you're instead going to trudge through something you yourself consider 'meh') then you're a tit. |

Well that was a splendid evening of television. Preacher was all out nuts and much more inline with the vibe of the comic. While Twin Peaks was...er...probably the most Lynchian thing I've watched since Eraserhead, brilliant from start to end. It seems he's not making a third series of Twin Peaks but a really long sequel to Fire Walk With Me. |

I finished Season 2 of SONS OF ANARCHY last night and it remains enjoyable albeit a bit of a trashy treat. I am forced to conclude however that as a collective the Sons just aren’t very good at ‘crime stuff’. (Mild general spoilers for Seasons 1 and 2 of SOA follow.) Like, if they stuck to auto-repair, and the porn business, and repo work, they’d do alright for themselves. Instead, they constantly do VERY BADLY at gun running and associated illegal activities which lead to various negative side-effects, including but not limited to the following, for themselves, members of their families, and those close to them: 1 - Getting killed. 2 - Getting blown up. 3 - Getting gang-raped. 4 - Having their children stolen. 5 - Losing all their money. 6 - Going to prison. 7 - Killing each other by accident. 8 - Having their businesses burned down. 9 - Getting their only remaining eye gouged out in prison. 10 - Creating huge amounts of collateral damage. And so on, and so on. These people are sub-standard criminals, they should just enjoy their bikes in their free time, and make porn and fix cars for money. I might take a break before starting on Season 3 (the ‘Irish’ season….) and dip into something else for a bit. |
