1) Saw Person of Interest finally - they re-aired the pilot in the Good Wife's timeslot and co-worker has been bugging me to check it out. Not bad. Sort of an anthology noir series. Reminds me a little Stacy Keach's Mike Hammer meets David Jannsen's the Fugitive by way of Nowhere Man, with a touch of Big Brother Paranoia thrown in. (ETA: co-worker and I decided that it reminded us a great deal of The Equalizer with Edward Woodward - more so actually than Burn Notice. Sort of the Equalizer meets Nightmare Cafe (The Robert Englund Character reminds me a lot of the millionaire here, and the short-order cook reminds me of Cavill's mercernary.) Also, nice twist to have the cop on the guy's trail a female, and black. That's new. I saw the twists coming...but that's mainly because I've seen a lot of these things. A bit violent, but not horribly so.
It's probably worth reiterating that I'm at a point right now in which I don't want to read or watch violent things - I sort of hit my saturation point. Co-worker and the Momster both think George RR Martin's books did me in...but I also read Jim Butcher, re-read all of Kim Harrison's novels, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (plus saw the film), the Spike comics, The Hunger Games Triology, and something else I can't remember in there - possibly fanfic? Without a break. Add to that? Reading the constant reports of gang violence, rapes, subway slashings and serial killings in the paper. Work being really stressful. Living alone. And well...None of which stopped me from watching the equally violent, albeit incredibly cheesy...
2) Ringer.
( no way to discuss without spoilers, well there is, but why bother? )
3. Glee ...eh, when they focus on the plot more than the musical numbers the show grates on my nerves. More musical numbers, less dialogue!!! ( Read more... )
