I'm so glad in the otherwise mediocre Fall TV Season there is this one shining light of brilliance!
A lot of shows I thought would be bad are actually decent, but not good..... a lot of show I thought would be good are okay, and a lot of shows I thought would be great are just good.
This is the only series this year to surpass my already high expectations.
I didn't really have any high expectations for new fall shows.
- There were some programs I was hoping would be good (OUAT, Suburgatory, Hart of Dixie, Person of Interest) and those turned out to be a mixed bag. - There were shows I had low expectations for (Grimm, Revenge, Pan Am) which were pleasantly surprising. - There were also programs that turned out to be almost exactly what I thought they'd be (Terra Nova, The Secret Circle, American Horror Story), which are flawed but passable entertainment at best.
Homeland is the one program I had absolutely no expectations of because I actually had no intention of watching it. It's lucky for me I had some free time one afternoon to check it out because, so far, it's a damn good show.
It really has been a mixed bag as you put it. Even the new series I like have apparent flaws....
Of the 4 or 5 series I thought would be great, I think 2 or 3 are yet to air. .. Smash, Missing and Luck. I thought Homeland and Person of Interest would be great too. PoI let me down somewhat although it is a fun show to me still.
Homeland is the only one that exceeded my hopes or expectations I guess. I hope Smash, Missing and Luck do as well!
I think Smash could be good, although I have some misgivings about the potential longevity of the premise. Luck is a show I've been looking forward to since they finished casting it but I was put off by the first promo. Missing, well, I think that show will land creatively somewhere between Vanished and Persons Unknown and won't last any longer than either.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Awesome, thanks so much for these! I'm dying to watch them but I have yet to catch up on last night's episode...
ReplyDeleteThis show is remarkable and at times leaves me speechless!
