Being Human, Episode 3 - Season 3 (The Zombie Episode)

Last night - watched Being Human episode 3, I think it is episode 3.
It's the episode about the zombie. The series is definitely better than last season, which drug more. This one is better paced. And episode 3 was hilarious in places.

Sigh, I need new icons. Mine are boring me again.

Oh, no spoilers past this episode please - it's episode 3, I think. Maybe 4. I'm having troubles figuring it out.

Glee

I'm struggling with Glee - this actually isn't all that surprising, had similar issues with Ryan Murphy's Nip/Tuck - which also went way over-board - until I lost interest and stopped watching (somewhere around the fourth season - I hung in there a long time). Murphy does mean and at times sharp satire, often lacking in sublety - and it's at times way over-the-top. This week was admittedly much better than last week's, which bordered on offensive. But - I'm getting tired of the same jokes, the same over-the-top satirical caricature, in which to date the only character that is not being satirized is Kurt. Women are turned into cartoons on this show, which is annoying considering it's possibly the only show on tv that has a wide diversity of women's roles and potentially rich women's roles for multiple ages, body types and ethnicities. I often want to smack the writers upside the heads for how they are writing them. Again this week is a lot better than last week - Sue is admittedly better written than Emma and Holly (not sure how much of that is due to the actress who plays her).

Maybe it's just my imagination? But I don't remember the show being this angry and sharply over the top last year. It seemed to be lighter somehow. Also the musical numbers were better.

I don't care about any of the characters this year, while I did last year. I realized this tonight. And the jokes felt over-sold. And too easy. I was rolling my eyes.
