equally or better than Modern Family? i assume its similar genre (family comedy, teens vs parents stuff, single camera style)

i watched Modern Family, enjoyed the 1st season. but dropped in the middle of 2nd season (around 4th episode, getting boring)

watched Suburgatory

only watched the pilot, ive decided to drop it.. its a bit funny, but its like watching Desperate Housewives girls version. probably not an accurate comparison by me, but its certainly not for me.. too girlish.. though i like the leading character (the teenage girl)

if u accept nudity, that's one for you.. huge numbers non explicit of sex scenes and beautiful chicks (most of them 30 something)

the lead character (Hank) is a very pathetic man. lucky fella though, able sleep with almost every beautiful women he met.. gifted novel writer, but on writer's block most of the time.. have a complex relationship with his long standing lover /ex-partner and his teenage daughter..

i think the latest season (S04) is the best.. the rest are quite average, but fun.. Charlie (Hank's best friend cum agent) awkwardly funny man..

will resume the S05 on Jan 2012..

Hell On Wheels

ive watched the first 3 episodes. i think the basic stories are very interesting. post US civil war, slavery, Red Indians vs white, black vs white, rail road building and revenge.. and not many recent tv series based on 1860s..

but the acting are mediocre.. its big let down, but i think ill continue to watching it..

hw can u recommend it, the show not even begin yet(House of Lies S1 start on 08/01/2012).. but ive got what uve meant..

TV-PG shows on Showtime starting on Jan 2012
Californication S5 (09/01/2012)
Shameless S2 (09/01/2012)

already downloaded it, will watch it later.. my pal recommended it too..

dont know that, my mistakes.. dvd screener are basically for media /reporter /award committee right? normally i get a poor copy of that.

i'll wait for official release..

shockingly good.. twisted series, shame it just a mini series..

the 1st episode, the first 5min i knew this will be freaking awesome..

the 2nd are a bit slow burner, but also decent..

will watch the 3rd tonight..

Bomb Girls, any good?

hard to get an info.. its Canadian mini -series.. not many reviews around..

from the synopsis, its probably good..

Bomb Girls profiles the stories of five women working in a Canadian munitions factory in World War II. They find themselves thrust into a new world, and changed profoundly as they are liberated from their home and social restrictions.

cop /criminal stuff .. Sherlock (UK).. airing on e02s02..

if u like The Wire, u probably will like Boss.. s01 just ended.. but Boss arent cop /criminal.. political drama, cut throat and back stabbing world.. with nudity..

will watch it later.. im a fan of the novel and film..

Luck - HBO

dont really understand the points.. looked classy TV show, decent casting, about horse race and gambling, not for me though..

read a mix review on this, love-hate comments.. will watch it later. quite confuse about its airing dates. the pilot was last week, but when the next episodes?

Alcatraz

i really anticipate this series, but so far (ep04), im really dissappointed.. will still follow it though..

The Firm

im on ep07 its getting interesting. i love the drama, though the casting arent strong.

the show will be premiere in AXN next Sunday.

the season 1 are pretty good. 4 ordinary Joe's dealing with gangster, corpse, drug money etc.. some kind of dark comedy. its mini series, 4 episodes, its definitely worth a try for everyone..

the 2nd season are quite OK too.. and they will make the 3rd season..

i anticipate it. probably the basic idea came from Himitsu. Japanese novel turned to film (Japanese), Hollywood remake it, and another JDrama couple of years ago..

big different is, Awake build on 2 parallel lives.

Smash

ive watched the first 2 episodes. my GF force me to watch it with her.. TBH i always thought musical drama are always made for woman and gay people. so i never give myself a chance to watch it.

it turn out to be OK, not boring, perhaps the fans of this kind of drama will be very enjoying it.

but this certainly not my kind things, so i'll drop it. the thing i hope this kind genre will change, please use original voice of the actor /actress (hire a singer who can act) and dont dub it (live and actual singing).. the songs might not be perfect to the ears but it'll seem more realistic..

The Firm

currently im on ep08. one of my favourite series currently airing.. at first, i feel skeptical with the court-trial-lawyer scenes, i expected cliche law drama.. but the cases are good, the outcome /verdict are quite unpredictable.. though IMO the casting are quite weak.

i like how they build up fast-forward-scene /future scene.. though the main case (Sarah Holt) are quite lame and weak, but everything are still unfold and unclear..

Prisoners Wives UK

just ordinary drama. nothing special but not too bad.

about 4 women living their lives while their husband in prison. internal struggles, etc.

watched the first episode. quite nice. but the characters are not really strong..

the security system seem are bit loose. 3 or 4 inside worker working together can easily find a hole..

very disappointed with The Event.. its started really well. but the 2nd half are bit poor, but still something that i want to watch.. Falling Skies and Terra Nova are huge disappointment..
