Show: Deadwood
Network: HBO
In the 1870s, Deadwood slowly moves up from a camp to a town. It is like a Western, but it is so much more. Cast contains historical figures like Seth Bullock, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and Wyatt Earp. The show represents “civilization comes together from chaos.” It is a character-driven show.
Al Swearengen: “You want a blow job while I talk to you?” Judge: “No.” Al Swearengen: “I wasn't offering personally.”
Why I love it:
It is the character drive and how each character connects to each other in the show. Nothing is held back. I can’t explain this show. Just watch it.
Jack McCall: “Should we shake hands or something, relieve the atmosphere? I mean how stupid do you think I am?” Wild Bill Hickok: “I don't know. I just met you.”
Why I may have occasionally cringed: A lot of nudity from the whores. But what did I expect, really?
Everyone in town at least once: “Loudmouth cocksucker.”
Why you should watch it: The show is not clichéd; it has a large cast that unlike Heroes succeeded in bringing out the characters. No one is perfect and no one is safe (other than the doc) in this town.
Random fact: Kristen Bell is a hooker in it. Lassie from Psych is in it with the coolest mustache ever. Loudmouth cocksucker is the funniest insult ever.
Doc Cochran: “I see as much misery outta them movin’ to justify their selves as them that set out to do harm.”
Bottom Line: It only has 12 episodes and 3 seasons. That is only 36 episodes. You have time just watch the first season. I only started to watch this show because a friend at work rec it to me. But I am continuing because it’s fuckin’ good.
Show: Band of Brothers
Network: HBO
The show is a 2001 ten-part television World War II miniseries based on the real paratroopers of Easy Company that fought in WWII. Squeeeeee.
Toye: “Hey guys, I'm glad we're going to Europe. [takes out his knife] Hitler gets one of these right across the windpipe. Roosevelt changes Thanksgiving to Joe Toye Day, pays me ten grand a year for the rest of my fucking life.”
Why I love it: Everyone in Band of Brothers can fucking act-and they are so very pretty. I slowly fall in love with each character and their tragedy. They are in a war-so a lot of angst going on. They give enough air time to give some personality to the Easy Company paratroopers.
Buck: “Where you hit, Pop?” Popeye Wynn: “I can't believe, I fucked up. My ass, sir.” Buck: “Your ass? [Lt. Compton checks his wound] Holy shit.”
Why I may have occasionally cringed: Jimmy Fallon was in it for five minutes. He ruins everything. I felt like it ended too soon and many things were left unsaid or something.
Welsh: “I want light and noise discipline from now on. That means no talking, no smoking, and no playing grab-fanny with the man in front of you, Luz.”
Why you should watch it: Because I told you to? Because they are killing fucking Nazis! Because each characters you fall in love with. BECAUSE THE MAIN CHARACTER IS A RED HEAD! Because the coloring, the settings, characters dominates this show and it is pretty.
Speirs: “We're all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there's still hope. But Blithe, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse. All war depends upon it.”
Random fact: Omfg, one of the characters I loved is played by Mark Wahlberg’s brother Donnie. AND Donnie used to play in New Kids on the Block. LULZ!
Kirk acevedo is in it-his part is small but he has such impact. MIGUEL FIGHT NAZIS!
Show: OZ
Network: HBO
“OZ takes viewers inside an experimental prison, where inmates and correctional officers alike battle for survival amid warring factions and explosive acts”
Why I love it: Because this was the first show with slash (fuck you torchwood). It is a dark psychological work--It is not about just men in prison. It is the inner working of their minds and how they do the shit, they do. Another character driven show and it is full of angst. I always feel like at the end of an episode that I learned more than the characters. They don’t have useless episode to fill up a season.
Augustus Hill: “Oz, that's the name on the street for the Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary. Oz is retro, Oz is retribution. You wanna punish a man? Separate him from his family, separate him from himself, cage him up with his own kind.”
Why I may have occasionally cringed: Nudity. (a lot of my shows have this) Nudity is okay; I personally just can’t deal with it.
Busmalis: Relax. You're suffering from PBS.
Rebadow: PBS?
Busmalis: Pre-Bunny Syndrome. It happens quite often in my line of work. You dig and dig and dig, and just before you have to make like a little bunny and go through the hole, you panic.
Rebadow: This is real? Pre-Bunny Syndrome?
Busmalis: Oh, yeah. I mean, I made the name up, but sure.
Why you should watch it: Slashers will love this show. It not some retard show that throw slash in your face and pretends to be something better than what it is (TORCHWOOD!) The characters you will hate and you will love them and like Deadwood, they are connected in some way. Plus fucking Chris Meloni is in it.
Keller: “Hey, fuck you, you fuck.”
Random fact: KIRK ACEVEDO’S SECOND SHOW TO BE ON THIS LIST BECAUSE HE IS FUCKIN’ AWESOME. A lot of the casts played in other shows together because they love each other. Squeeee.
Hill: “Truth is a powerful thing. If you right a wrong, or make a bad thing worse, in Oz the truth is, if the facts don't fit the truth, fuck the facts.”
Show: Jekyll
Network: BBC One
“London, 2007. Tom Jackman is the only living descendent of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He has made a deal with his dark side: a body share. What Mr. Hyde doesn't know is that Tom has a family. There is a wife and two children that he'll do anything to protect from his dark side. With all the resources of modern technology, and the best surveillance hardware, he's determined to keep his dark side in line.”
Mr. Hyde: “The truth is - are you listening, Billy? The truth is, if I'm being honest, if I'm not winding you up... I don't get a lot of pleasure out of killing children... [breaks Billy's neck] ... but I get enough.”
Why I love it: A new spin on the old tale of Jekyll, but it doesn’t forget it roots (mentions Tracey Spencer a couple of times and that is one of the reasons why I love it. Squee Tracey Spencer!). None of the characters fit in some cliché role. The detective is a (colored) woman-and a lesbian. The assistant was in love with man not the beast. The wife of Tom (Jekyll) and Hyde was shown as whining housewife but grew into this fighter and accepts her husband. She also has a dark secret too. Tom (Jekyll) and Hyde were just fucking creepy and I love them.
Mr. Hyde: “Trust me... I'm a psychopath!”
Why I may have occasionally cringed: The assistant’s love for Tom Jackman was annoying and her attitude pissed me off. How they portrayed Americans-a stereotype and the accents were horrible.
[Later;Jackman takes up a cd]
Tom [reading aloud]:"The Lion King and other Disney Favourites".
Katherine [takes the cd]: “Oh, that's his, I should put it away...”
Tom: “He has Disney favourites?”
Katherine: “He likes the songs.”
Tom: [as if he still couldn't believe it] “My dark side loves Mary Poppins...”
Why you should watch it: Because it gives us something different than remaking The strange case of Jekyll and Hide. It is lovely in the setting, outfits, people, the coloring-how they transformed Tom/Jeykll to Hyde.
Random fact: Hmm, none. I like how they touch their mouths. It's a kink.
Show: Absolutely Fabulous
Network: BBC
A mother (Edina) and her best friend (Patsy) are middle-aged party going, drug heavy fashion-obsessed Londoners. The daughter (Saffie) is a sweater-vest wearing that provides the voice of reason to their insanity. The show involves the crazy antics of the mother and best friend.
Why I love it: IT IS SO FUNNY. Everything is over the top and outrageous, it makes me less ashamed of my mother. Every scene gets a laugh from me. The friendship between the mother and best friend is something I enjoy seeing. They care for each other but they self-destruct each other.
Edina: “…And if you're a bloody psychic psychologist how come I'm always having to phone you?”
Why I may have occasionally cringed: Edina’s clothes, they are so ugly. Sometimes how they portray women as airheads or bitches.
Patsy: “The last mosquito that bit me had to check into the Betty Ford clinic.”
Why you should watch it: It’s funny, it makes fun of everyone. No one is the hero in this show; Saffie has a big temper and is too closed off to everyone. No one is perfect in this show and you don’t have to be to watch it.
Patsy: “I decide what goes in the magazine. Y'know, one snap of my fingers and I can raise hemlines so high that the world is your gynaecologist!”
Random fact: Patsy played in James and Giant Peach. This woman used to give me nightmares as a child.
