Royal Pains
Well, tonight was the premiere night for Season 3 of Burn Notice, which rocked. I never really got into that show at the beginning, but it grew on me. For newbies to the show or those who've never heard of it (and should see it), it's about Michael Weston, a spy, who is black-listed, or burned, which means his assets, including his money, identity, and work history, is completely erased. His hot ex-girlfriend, Fiona, finds him, as does a retired intelligence agent and former Navy SEAL, played by Bruce Campbell (the legendary Ashly J. Williams of Evil Dead fame!). Anyway, it's awesome. Weston is a private investigator/spy/mercenary. The ex-girlfriend is crazy as can be, wanting to always blow something up.
And Royal Pains. . . talk about a a guy in the "wrong place at the right time." Hank Lawson was a Medical doctor who saved a guy he was playing basketball with, but upon arriving at the hospital that he works for, he must save a millionaire hospital trustee, who actually dies. Hank is fired and loses his girlfriend, home, everything. So, his brother, having made plans to go to the Hamptons, takes Hank along. Hank ends up at some party and saves a girl's life in the home of a millionaire. From that moment on, he's bombarded with duties of being a concierge doctor by first dealing with a hypochondriac girl who had a car crash with her boyfriend in his dad's Ferarri, but turns out the boy is hemophilliac. He ends up saving the boy with a MacGyver-like technique, as he did with the gurney for the basketball player at the beginning. Eventually, Divya, an Indian woman who is to be his PA (Physician Assistant) finds him, and she has this cool set up of gadgets in her SUV. It's still on, too. He's finally settling into his position as such a doctor, though he didn't want to be. He seriously wanted to just go back home.
Two great series right there. I honestly didn't know what to expect of Royal Pains, but I like it.
And now it's over. Can't wait for next week!
