I feel like I haven't done a post about TV shows ever. So yeah, I thought I'd do one now. And include several TV shows. Hell yeah. I tried to keep these in order, but I'm not into trying to correct the order, because that would mess the whole post - which is the reason that sometimes Blogger really sucks.
Boston Legal is a drama comedy about a law firm called Crane, Pool and Schmidt. The show is a spin-off of the Practice, which I've never watched, and I'm not interested in watching. A big part of Boston Legal's charm hides in characters Alan Shore and Denny Crane, played by James Spader and William Shatner. I like the show because most of the episodes have more than one plot - there is more than one case. I'm usually more interested in one of them, and I'm more eager to see what happens in that case, even though I didn't care so much about the other cases. I guess that's the point of having several cases. Anyway, this show is a bit sneaky, I mean it tricks you into thinking that the show is completely harmless and silly, and you don't even realise how much you like actors unless something horrible happens - like Shore's night terrors in season 2.
I'm currently watching the second season.
I'm not even sure if I need to explain Breaking Bad. It's a show about high school chemistry teacher, who turns 50, and realises he has a lung cancer. Realising he's family won't be left with a lot of money, he starts cooking meth with his ex-student. I really like the TV show, it's a very fine drama, and I can totally understand how come it's won so many awards. (I don't know if it's many but some people are actually making fun of the show winning awards.) The show is very well written and acted. I think my friend Lotta had a lot more to say about this show.
I was watchign the third season, but somehow I never finished that. So I should start again.
Hannibal is about.. well, Hannibal Lecter. Most of us know who he is, so I guess I don't need to explain more. This show is responsible for making me love the original movies, and in some weird way it's also responsible for making me love a certain actor, whose movies I've been watching all week. Oops. I love Hannibal because of the interesting characters, perfect use of music, and fantastic cinematography. I like the show very much, even though during this new season I've found myself a bit disappointed. I remember how I started watching this - I saw one episode, thought it was good, and didn't watch it again, until it started to show here in Finland. And then I watched it every week. But now I'm catching up on what they are showing in the US.
I'm currently watching the second season.
How I Met Your Mother is currently the only sit-com I love. I don't know why I like that show when there are many other shows out there, but somehow it stands out. Maybe it's like Friends for my generation. ... Except that many of my generation watch Friends.. Anyway, the show is about Ted Mosby, telling their kids the story of how he met their mother. For some reason though, the mother seems to never be in his stories, which are mostly about his and his friends' adventures in New York. I like How I Met Your Mother, because it's well written, has hilarious jokes, and also some devastating moments, that have ripped my heart out. I've cried more than once a season while watching this show. I'm very attached to all the characters. And I seem to be the only one who wasn't disappointed about the ending of the TV show. This TV show will always have its place in my heart.
I've finished all the seasons.
Lie To Me is about a small firm, that specialises with detecting lies, so they help in many different crime investigations. I'm very fond of the show, and its characters, and even though I know all the episodes - not by heart but still - I can always return to them and watch them again. Sometimes I hope I knew people who watch this, apart from my dad. I don't even know how I started watching this - I guess I saw one episode from the third season on TV, and didn't watch it after that. And then I went and bought the first season, watched it several times before I got the rest of the show. I really love Tim Roth's performance in this show, and I really like the actor.
I've finished all the seasons.
Misfits is about youngsters in community service, when suddenly a weird storm starts and they gain superpowers. They aren't the only ones, though, and there seems to be a lot of people like them all around the city. One of my favourite things about the show is how different the characters can be, even though they are in the same situation. Also, I love how most of them aren't happy with their powers. I love the show, and it also has ripped my heart out several times. The music in this show is also amazing.
I've finished three seasons.
Blacklist, Blacklist, Blacklist... where do I begin? I hardly watch TV, I buy TV shows on DVD. But I saw a commercial for Blacklist and I thought "That's so my scene". So I started watching it - missing the first episode, and oh I was in love. The show starts when one of the most wanted criminals, Raymond Reddington, turns himself in to the FBI. He then makes a deal - he knows which criminals are important and FBI should try to find, so he gets immunity. His other condition is, that he will only talk to Elizabeth Keen, a new FBI profiler.The two main characters remind me somehow of the relationship between Starling and Dr Lecter, but fortunately it's not so simple, and there's so much mystery wrapped around that - and the whole character of Raymond Reddington! But the Starling/Lecter -thing is why Hannibal is resposible for making me love James Spader.
I'm currently watching the first season.
