Happy Place
Well I had my happy grin last night. apparently I can get to watch Hawaii 5-0 through CBS by way of Hulu:).. so got to see the 100th episode.. wow now I wasn't quite expecting that.. but I have to say Alex O-Laughlin and Mark Dacascos on the same screen doing their thing... . Don't think I will ever get bored of that one.. nope don't think so:)
so I think I will be cramming episodes tonight.. I now need to explore the "Person of Interest" angle:):):)
in other news.. "Sleepy Hollow" is getting better and better. its the first show in a long time where I am finding myself thoroughly gripped by the fact that there is no guarantee that "good will win". There is genuine angst that Ichabod or Mills might actually get injured/killed/turned bad.. and the enemy is smart and using tactics.. :D I likes it when they fight back unfair:):):) also the script is keen and Tom Mison is very good at playing the upright ex-pat and is able to deliver some serious Snark. and i am actually learning a lot about American history around the civil war.. (more of course regarding the people involved and some of the places..I don't worry to much about the whole "headless horseman" thing.
Grimm... ooooh.. I am still on the wall as to whether I do or do not like this series.. I have moments of Yes this is a good series. and then I am not sure I will keep at it
Constantine - now this is a good series!.. really good, it knows what it is, it knows who its for and its doing what it does really well. Of course its FOX so it will be cancelled really early.. but you know what, Like Almost Human, it will be its nice little box set.:)
What else am i watching..
Oh yes Arrow now here is an interesting series because .. you know what occasionally the "bad guys" win.. or sort of win.. you actually have a situation where you have to take what success you can get because its really hard.. I was not to fond of the first series Oliver Queen because he's a whiney little boy.. but second season.. he's really grown up!.. and also again we have "bag Guys" who are clever and are actually planning stuff.. and using tech as well as the good guys. I am also well impressed with the Stunts. you have movie grade stunts happening on a TV budget.. I applaud the work it is amazing..
The Flash I am starting to enjoy this a lot actually, had a bit of a shaky start in that it seemed to be surprised that it existed. But its now gathering pace and is quite a nice thing to watch of a evening when eating your tea.. if it measures up to the quality of Arrow then it will be an enjoyable series.
My other guilty pleasure at the moment is Forever an oddly quirky story about a man who when he "dies" is resurrected again in the nearest body of water.. he knows not why. Begin a Dr by trade and fascinated by his ability??.. he works as a ME in down town New York.. and is able to tell a lot about a dead body from his copious years of experience.. I call it a guilty pleasure because its not a great detective series ( i have issues with the way they write the police dumb to make the main char look smart, and the police procedure is really sloppy) but.. I find it compellingly watchable. I think its Ioan Gruffudd's performance and his relationship with his "son" played by Judd Hirsch... I shouldn't like this series.. i should hate it with a vengeance.. but its quirky and fun and i can't stop watching:/
Apart from that i of course watching and having issues with Dr Who but hey nothing is perfect..
