The third episode of Blindspot was pretty "meh," and agent whatshisface's dialogue was awful. I'm giving it another episode or two, but I lost a lot of my energy for the show this week. OTOH, I really enjoyed the new Minority Report, and am sad that it's apparently doing terrible in the ratings.

This week's Empire was, IMO, a lot better than the ( Read more... )

 PSA that Netflix now has the first season of Madam Secretary. Watch it so I don't feel alone anymore. (Honestly, the plot is average and the conspiracy plot is silly at times, but the characters and actors are great and I know you've all watched way worse.)  Related, the trailer for season 2.

1A. Secrets and Lies ended. Well, the season did, at least. I had thought it was a miniseries going in, and seem to recall it being promoted as such.

Haven 5.1-5.4: Well, that metanarrative sunk into the pits of Fail pretty fast, didn't it? At least Emily Rose seems to be having a lot of fun. I do like Mara and am invested in the mythology, but this show keeps piling its problems on top of each other and patting itself on the back.

Also, I refuse to believe that Vince and Dave, the career ( Read more... )

Madam Secretary: Tea Leoni stars as Elizabeth Faulkner Mccord, a college professor and former CIA analyst who is approached by POTUS to be the new Secretary of State after the previous one dies in a plane crash. There are a bunch of familiar faces in the cast, the most important of which (to me) is Bebe Neuwirth and Elizabeth's Chief of Staff. ( Read more... )
