Thoughts from the Media Room - Favorite New Shows
Earlier today I finally posted my favorite returning shows, now I'm listing my favorite new shows so far this television season.
First off is a easy choice for the list.
Loved this one right until the end. After my first viewing, I was stunned and not in a good way. I've done a lot of reading and I've started to come around. Looking forward to what they can come up with for season 2. Which by the way, will be at a different location, different family and everything. Except some of the actors will be back. In different roles. Certainly one of the most different television shows I've ever watched.
This comedy just might be one of the funniest shows on tv. I think I might have watched 1 maybe 2 bad episodes. But week after week it gets better, the actors have sorted out their roles and what makes them funny. Another can't miss for me here.
While I loved Rubicon, Homeland has certainly turned into what I think Rubicon was trying to be. Just some incredibly smart television. If you haven't watched this on Superchannel in Canada, I suggest you try and see if it's on demand somewhere. Smart, smart show. Can't say it enough.
This one, if these were in numerical order, I'd have to put at the bottom. I fight for this one, but wow, talk about inconsistent. I'm hoping in a few weeks we see some improvement. I don't laugh as often as I did the first few weeks, but when I do, it's loud and uncontrollable.
When I first watched Revenge way back in September, I really didn't think it was going to last. Turns out, it's damn addictive and you can't help but wonder what she's going to do next to the rich and famous of The Hamptons. Rumor has it, that the show will be moving back to New York soon. They can't stay their forever. It's just going to make this dark show even darker. Can't wait.
