Boss S2 and Hell On Wheels S2 are getting better and better..

will try Revolution and The Mob Doctor tonight..

watched the new season of Downton Abbey last night. so-so, but i still like it. the new acquisitions show no impact (the American grandmother and new footman)

Not convinced with the pilot. Will wait for the 2nd ep...

Another show in my favourite list: Switched at Birth smile.gif

*
im not convinced with Revolution. as a comparison for same genre, i think it poorer than The Walking Dead and Falling Skies (both i think are very average)

world without electric and electronic stuff, even cars and batteries dont work.. i think the idea are decent but the script are poor, and the acting are so mediocre.. with so many good and potentially good series at the end of September and early October, i think i gonna drop Revolution.

Switched at Birth, i very like it at first.. ive watched until 6th episode or so. i think it turned into romantic teen drama, too much on puppy love stories.. dropped it..

watched The Mob Doctor pilot. i think i like it.. a doctor /surgeon living a 2 lives, normal doctor life and working for a mob to pay her family's debt. up against rules and her superior.

but i doubt the series getting any better..

Vegas
just so-so.. cowboy become sheriff of Las Vegas in early 60s.. ive always a thing to period drama, so ill try to watch it further.. decent casting Dennis Quaid and Carrie-Anne Moss among others..

Person of Interest S2
the system are super intelligent, meh.. cheesy action, the bad guys always a bad shooter.. i think i'll drop it..

Scandal S2
too many twists, but i like it..

Fringe S5
the 1st episode are setup in a future, im not really fond of it. i hope they alternate it between present days and future. im much prefer the present days setup (especially the days of the observer attacking)

Elementary looks promising.

its OK-ish. US Sherlock looks more 'human', have a depth knowledge about human psychology /behaviour, less annoying and less eccentric than British version. he also care to explain all his deductions (the British one talks like a train and most of the time he didnt care to explain his deductions, or maybe i didnt catch his words). but TBH i prefer British one, more Sherlock-ish for me.

its weird to see the idea of female Watson. but thats a refreshment.

the first case are not so interesting, too ordinary, but i will watch the next episodes..

anyone watching 666 Park Avenue? promising?

For me, 666 looks boring and if it continues like this, will be cancelled. I think more people would prefer to watch American Horror Story.

UK Sherlock > US Sherlock by far. I also don't think Lucy Liu suites the role of Watson.
*
if it no better than American Horror Story (which i think are average), i probably will not try it.. too many series im looking forward to watch.. im not a ghost drama /film fan anyway..

will watch Dexter S7, Homeland S2, Once Upon a Time S2, Revenge S2 later tonight..

Last Resort
i think its a very good pilot, good setup, story. though the acting, the casting arent really convincing based on pilot. i'll definitely watch it further..

Once Upon a Time S2

gave up since episode 1 - a ridiculous show where the hero would never die under ridiculous captures & gun-fires so as to spice up the excitement of the show ; do the plot really needed such a ridiculous hero or just a more tone down version of such a hero would be more balance
the internet reviews had been very unfair towards this series & the rating was very poor, maybe people felt that such show got nothing special in term of great storyline when compared to other series ; suspect there might be possible changes to this series to jackup viewership or completely drop dead
gave up this series since episode 1, poor main cast acting & the flow of show was slowed ; but there was rumoured zombie or other species could be introduce later if necessary ???
*
i gave up Person of Interest S2 and Revolution.. i also gave up Vegas..

The Mob Doctor are nice i think. i always like medical series, though this one definitely not a great one..

seen the hunted pilot very boring, though there would be agenda later & question on creepy assassins, possible mole on the team, Aidan Marsh’s secret meetings with an unknown woman, Sam’s flashbacks about the death of her mother yet to be answer

find most of the cast acting quite monotonous & boring

Hunted are just ok, will keep my interest. UK stuff usually offer something different than US..

Arrow is pretty nice. Hopefully don't get cancelled. *crossing fingers*

fighting, cool.. nice to see a hero actually kill a bad man..
using archer, cool.. but i say using automatic guns are much more efficient..
story, looked nice..

but i never a fan of super heroes or a hero that can do almost everything, one man show.. this guy realistically need an assistants. some tech nerd /hacker to manage his hideout ops center, and somebody who help him in his own house to cover his tracks, that old housemaid will do and be an Alfred..

i dont care about original comic and authenticity.. will try another episode before possibly dropping it..

Hell On Wheels S2 [2012] US
i think they step up a plates, the s2 are better than the first one.

every single characters had flaws and thats made them interesting. they killed one of the main protagonist, good call i think, only if they can replace her with someone better.

i hope they explore more the Indian side on s3 (if any, i very hope so..)

very underated show, one of AMC best products (beside Mad Men and Breaking Bad)

Is BoardWalk Empire any good?

And breaking bad is freaking GOOOOOD!

imo BoardWalk Empire are very good. they are in s3.

corrupted politician taking control of law enforcement, mobs and smuggling booze as their main business (alcohol beverages are prohibited stuff on their years)

the first 2 seasons are really good, but the latest one are bit downhill (because they rid one of the best character at the end of s2)

its hbo, got frontal nudity.

No Suits?  cry.gif
I liked how it started and all, seeing the last episode it looks like its going to be some flick with lots of love triangle.

Hope it will get better after the summer.

watched American Horror Story S2 first episode, i think i'll drop it.

Person of Interest is a pretty good show. Better than a bunch of other shows on right now. What'd you think?

the problem with this show, the cheesy action things..

in weekly basis, the hero walked in bar/ get tied in a room, surround by a 5-10 thugs (sometime equip with guns) and he'll always get away.

the story are ok..
