I am really picky about my TV shows. I don't like something because everyone else says it's brilliant. Usually the shows I love get canceled pretty fast. Please, before it is too late, let me direct you to a new piece of excellence sparkling among the piles of rubbish that fill the television air waves.
Kings.
It's Shakespearean. It's patriotic. It's unique and familiar.
Every actor plays their part flawlessly and passionately. Every line is elegant and moving. The plot is engaging, the characters flawed, yet noble.
Watch it now, what else have you got to do?
5 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
Is this going to cut into my American Idol time? :) I will give it a try!
What do you think of 'Dollhouse'?
Lori - If you love AI ... you may not agree with my taste in TV. Nevertheless, my taste is impeccable.
Mambinki - I don't like Eliza Dushku so much, but the show is ok ... I give it like a 7-7.5/10. Still better than most of TV and maybe it'll get better.
I also mildly like Fringe. The lead actress kind of bugs me, but the wacky scientist guy and his arrogant and very cute son make it watchable.
I fear Pushing Daisies will never return. Sigh. BUT, the writer (or something like that) from PD is taking over Heroes, so maybe it will suck less...
I used to love a show called "Dead Like Me" but it only ran for 3 seasons. I tried LOST, but I gave up. They jerk you around too much. Now, I just play on the computer instead of watching TV.
We got the DVDs of Dead Like Me, very enjoyable. Also, Firefly, Buffy, not so much Angel, and Gilmore Girls. Oh, and we netflixed Wonderfalls, very good. Lost ... I lovehate Lost.
