Just a blurby bullet point post about the summer TV show slate

It's summer! This shouldn't be happening! And yet it is. A brief rundown on all the TV shows staring at me in the face at the moment, in the order they occur to me.

(I haven't forgotten I owe you a comment response to TT:GoT. I'll do that, er, soon as I finish writing this. :)

OITNB: FINISH SEASON 2. It started off a little slowly, but the end? The end was fabulous.

Other Netflix shows: Yeaaaaaah, House of Cards. That's a show no one else I watch TV with wants to see, but it's been on my watch list ever since it got Emmy noms back in Season 1. I just don't watch TV shows by myself much anymore. :/

Actually, throw "Marco Polo" on this list, too. E-- watched it and said it reminded her in some ways of what Kohen did with OITNB--come for the stereotypical white 'main character', stay for all the interesting other characters.

Sleepy Hollow Haha, I was like that with DVRed shows before I cancelled my satellite subscription. >.> But I've heard S2 isn't that great, so I'm not really intending to go on past S1.

Orphan Black S3
[Spoiler (click to open)]Super impressed by Ari Millan's ability to play clones - while he's not as a good as Tat (since no one is), I really have enjoyed getting to know the Castor boys.

We're in a bit of a brumble over this on Wednesday nights. tavella's been grousing in a similar vein over his performance, but...I'm cutting him some slack. Maslany's awesome, but she's also (a) the main character and (b) being given characters which are starting from pretty diverse places.

Poor Millan, in addition to having to suffer comparisons to Maslany, also has to do it with characters who are, intrinsically, more same'y. With the exception of Mark, all the Castor clones I've seen so far are definitively "military"--and that shared upbringing doesn't leave a lot of room for extreme differences as, say, Helena and Allison.
