Television reviews...
Watched some of the television series that I'd taped this week. What follows are television reviews..
1. New Amsterdam -- which is a returning favorite. And ...I've mixed feelings about. ( eh spoilers )
2. The Unicorn
Disappointed. I love Walter Goggins. But this is yet another obnoxious sex comedy. ( spoilers )
3. Perfect Harmony -- this is the comedy with Bradley Whitford (from West Wing) as a curmudgeonly ex-Columbia music professor who recently lost his wife. They moved back to her home-town, where she wanted to live out the last two weeks of her life. And he ends up, reluctantly, becoming the choir director of a tiny and rather inadequate church choir.
Weirdly, this one was entertaining. It had gotten negative reviews or mixed. Yet, I enjoyed it quite a bit. (Says something about how much I agree with television critics in this day and age, doesn't it?) Yes, it's a bit on the cliche side in places, but not necessarily in a bad way. And yes, it makes fun of those redneck Southerners, put in a charming way. It's basically your formulaic fish-out-of-water story. But it is enjoyable and the quirky characters are likable (unlike the Unicorn in which they really weren't).
