TV: Eleventh Hour
So I've always loved Rufus Sewell, no matter what I've seen him in. There's something charasmatic about the guy, and when I learned he'd be the lead in the US version of Eleventh Hour, I had to watch (despite the show being on CBS--not my favorite network). The show itself is okay. I'd give the first episode a B-, because it was done well enough, but nothing about the story or the situation stood out and made the show shiny. Well, except for Rufus Sewell, because I adore him, and it's awesome to get to see him in a role where he's not the lead villain. His character is actually charming in an adorable way, kind of like a very, VERY tame Walter from Fringe.
The coolest part about Rufus Sewell? He, too, is a Scorpio. Birthday's October 29th. Scorpio's rock. :)
