TV catch up
So,
"Lucifier" - 2x01 - I'm glad to have this show back as I ended up enjoying last season more than I expected. I thought this season 2 opener was quite a good one and I'm interested in seeing where things go. I thought the introductions to the new characters were quite cool and the new girl seems cool already. I'm looking forward to more. Has the police station changed? I remember it differently.
"Blindspot" - 2x02 - I thought this episode was okay. I think the tension between the team is making things quite interesting. I also thought the scenes between Patterson and the doctor (name?) were really cute. I think I ship it.
"Designated Survivor" - 1x01 - I quite enjoyed this pilot episode although it was very dramatic (and very American). I like the way Kiefer Sutherland is playing it too, because you do almost suspect that he could have been involved - with losing his job and the president not putting anything in the speech about housing and stuff - so can see why the FBI could potentially start to suspect him (I think the power might go to his head a little bit too). This first episode was interesting enough and I'll continue watching. Hopefully things calm down a little bit as the show goes on.
"Chicago Fire" - 4x16 - This episode was okay. I think the Casey storyline is boring (and is going exactly how I expected it to, I'm not really interested). I'm enjoying the scenes between Brett and Jimmy though - now they're working together, and having more scenes together, I kinda wanna ship it. They're cute together. And I think being a medic now is working and is good for his character.
"Hooten & The Lady" - 1x01 - I enjoyed the first episode of this show (I did watch it last Friday but forgot to comment on it), it just seems really fun and I'm looking forward to all the crazy things they get up to in upcoming episodes. I've always liked Michael Landes (the superior Jimmy Olsen) and his character in this seems interesting.
I've also finished watching "The Night Of" now. I think it took me like a week. I thought it was a good show - very dark and quite serious but I liked it. It's a bit heavy going in parts and some of the episodes dragged a little bit (some of the prison scenes were probably my least favourites) but a good show though with some great acting - Riz Ahmed and John Turturro were obvious standouts. I liked how they played it though - with the audience not really knowing whether Naz was innocent or guilty. That worked really well especially during some of the middle episodes when they found out stuff about him that made him look really bad. I'm interested now about how the UK original played out (in this one him being Muslim played quite a big part - especially in the reactions of the community - that obviously wasn't a part of the UK version).
I can't see there being a season two - this was billed as a "limited series" - but who knows, I guess. I think the UK version had a series two but it was a completely different case.
