My new fall shows aired so far

[morwen_peredhil]

Love:
Last Resort
Submarines? Politics? Conspiracies? Nukes? Hell, yeah! If only this starred someone less terminally dull than the 100% charisma-free Scott Speedman.

Like:
Elementary
A Watson who is interesting in her own right? A Sherlock I don't want to slap the shit out of quite so much? I'll take it.

Um, maybe it will get better:
Revolution

I;m waiting to learn how much Dichen lachman there is in Last Resort before trying it out. That's about what I thought of the Elementary pilot both times I watched it.

I like Revolution way more than it actually deserves (it's so obvious no one involved actually THOUGHT about the worldbuilding besides "we need an excuse for the aesthetics"), and I'm confident the only reason Ben lasted 5 minutes after the blackout is Rachel. I have no idea how Aaron survived. (I can't hold things against Charlie or Danny because as near as I can tell Ben did his best to make them utterly ignorant of the world and tried to chain them to the house or something.)

I was very disappointed with the writing for DL's character on Being Human, so I hope Last Resort makes better use of her.

The fun of mocking the poor decision-making skills/bad parenting/suicidal naïveté of the Revolution characters is a reason in itself to watch the show. Something to keep me going while I wait to see if it improves.

I was going to watch her Being Human episodes, then didn't care for what I was hearing.

I like Charlie and am interested in seeing how she grows, and it has a lot of potential for female bonding, but mostly I just find it entertaining (not always for the reasons it intends) and it indulges my longing for shows that let me obsessively come up with 50 theories that will all be wrong. 9I've also been fond of the Charlie/Miles relationship type trope since I was wee, so there's that too.)

My new favorite show this fall is "Copper" on BBC America.
