2010/11 TV quick review
Sep 26th, 2010 by Ashley
There are some exciting new shows and some welcomed returns of familiar faces.
Returnings:
Castle s3
s3e1 劇情稍弱但 Beckett 豐富而細膩的表情完全彌補了這一點缺憾, Esposito 跟 Ryan 也繼續認真得搞笑. 仍舊是個令人愉快的輕鬆浪漫風趣的警察探案劇.
Modern Family s2
s2e1 a strong comeback. cute and warm delivered with hilarity.
Dancing with the Stars s11
7th season winner Brooke Burke co-hosts with Tom Bergeron. the 11th season lined up some big names like David Hasselhoff, Michael Bolton and Jennifer Grey, as well as Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin, Margaret Cho, and some sports figures.
Glee s2
The returning of Glee is quite exciting. However, I’d rather see more show tunes and classic rock. But that can’t be helped. orz
The Big Bang Theory
HILARIOUS.
New shows:
The Defenders ****
Vegas baby~
It’s sort of an ugly (and non-snobbish) version of Boston Legal. Love it!
Blue Blood ****
Ambitious multigeneration police procedural saga. Well written, very refreshing.
Raising Hope ****
heartfelt dark comedy. quite promising.
Better With You ***
Debra Jo Rupp! (Kitty in That ’70s show)
like the pilot. could be something good.
The Event ***
complex and intense. well executed.
Running Wilde ***
funny. but not promising
Lone Star ***
intriguing yet failed to engage.
The Whole Truth ***
Doesn’t seem thought-through. Faces failed to register.
I know it’s probably the point that in real life, we’ll never learn the whole truth most of the time. But not able to find out the “why” in the story leaves me wanting. If one cannot find satisfaction on TV, what’s the point of watching, eh?
ps. Even though I LOVE Maura Tierney (big fan of her in Newsradio), I don’t think it’s the right role for her.
watch instead.
Nikita
Quite boring and affected. I’d rather re-watched Peta Wilson’s Le Femme Nikita.
watch not
Detroit 1-8-7
alright. but nothing really interesting. It tried to introduced eccentric cops like The Unusuals but failed miserably to arouse interest.
Undercovers
drag.
Anticipating:
No Ordinary Family
The Good Wife
