Exceelent TV Shows

The Hell on Wheels finale pretty much looked like a big **** You to everyone from the writers. though i enjoyed it, I can't see it being renewed for another season.

Copper is really starting to get strange, I've no idea where they go from here having solved what looked to be the "one armed man" mystery halfway though.

Sons of Anarchy took a small bit of rest from it's weekly "kill off a main character" bent it's been on it this final season to take a breath. I'm thinking it's only the calm before the storm as I don't see many of them getting out of this series alive.

Boardwalk Empire. It's only a matter of time before Nuckey obliterates everyone as you can see him stewing about pretty much everything in his life right now.

Revolution (yes I'm watching it) still has crap fight scenes, but the premise is getting a bit more interesting.

I have found 666 to be pretty good so far. Terry O'Quinn (John Locke from Lost) is really doing a nice job. Fun to watch.

Ben and Kate had a nice rebound for us. We decided to give it 3 episodes total aftere the first stink a roo. My wife and I actually laughed outloud 3 or 4 times. I just don't like the characters very much. Still a few good laughs is worth giving it another shot.

I am watching too. Saw this linked somewhere about some of the ridiculous scenes.

I liked the first few episodes of Elementary ... definitely has promise. The main two characters and acting are excellent, but he "cops" are all a bit wooden ... even Aidan Quinn. They also need to draft in some better writers ... Cagney and Lacey could solve the cases we've seen so far.

Watched the pilot of Newsroom last night ... damn fine opening salvo.

Anyone watch Girls when it was on HBO last spring? Just caught up with it ... funny, interesting and quite courageous. Some of the awkward sexual scenes are hilarious. Not one to watch with the kids.

I saw it and for the longest time I couldn't decide whether or not I liked it. But in the end I realized how annoying and whiny many of the characters were. So I'm not going to watch season two. But Brian Williams daughter, by herself is worth the price of admission.

She is alluringly attractive. I was sure I'd seen her somewhere before ... but it must have been the Brooke Shields crossed with Jennifer Connelly thing.

The virgin girl was really annoying at times towards the end ... although to be fair her character was supposed to be ... but she got less funny as the series went on. They could have done more with that character ... it had some potential in the first couple of shows. And they should have made more of the cynical coffee house owner guy.

Johnny, my disc of Sherlock promos a show called Wallander. Looks interesting, any good?

There are two adaptations of the Wallander series. I presume you are talking about the series with Kenneth Branagh, and not the Swedish series?

Each episode is an adaptation of a Wallander book, so they are short series of 3 TV movies basically.

I have yet to see the second series, but I liked the first. It's dark like all Scandi dramas, and Branagh is excellent in the title role. l'll bet you like it more because of the difference factor.

Anyone else try to watch Bones this week? I guess I applaud them for trying something new, but I had to turn it off after about 5 minutes once I realized it was going to be the whole episode. It also seemed really incongruous with the whole theme of the show too.
