AMERICAN CRIMES:
AMERICAN CRIMES is the most realistic show on
tv at present. One actually hates some
of the characters, and one really sympathises with many of the characters, in
spite of their misfortunes, or prejudices.
The directing is superb, and the acting fantastic. The photography is unusual, but lends itself
perfectly to the way the story is told. #americancrimes
TWO AND A HALF MEN:
Once Charlie Sheen was forced to leave TWO
AND A HALF MEN, the series degenerated into farce and repetition. #twoandahalfmen
THE BIG BANG THEORY:
The last few seasons of THE BIG BANG THEORY
has largely deteriorated into slapstick and repetition. #thebigbangtheory
ARROW:
The ARROW loses all credibility when Malcom
Merlin is not killed by Oliver Queen, in spite of Oliver's repeated claims that "You have failed my city"; especially when Malcolm Merlin was responsible
for the murder of the largest number of people (in fact a massacre). The series loses more credulity after Thea's father comes back from having being killed in a
much earlier episode; and especially when Oliver survives being stabbed by a
sword through the abdomen, falls off a high cliff, lies in the snow for an
unknown period, and is still miraculously alive. #arrow
THE DOVEKEEPERS:
The DOVEKEEPERS is a sensationalisation of fornication
- a mixture of Jewish history, shades of grey (whatever that means), and the Bible,
without much purpose or morality. #thedovekeepers
THE
FOLLOWING:
THE
FOLLOWING ceases to be a dramatic story. The initial innovative episodes of linking the
series to the stories Edgar Alan Poe, with extremely evil, credible and
identifiable villains at first - from the chief perpetrator, Joe Carrol, to his
lovely evil pixie, lover and chief disciple, Valorie Curry, to the mother of
the twins, Lilly Gray - all formidable characters, has become just another hunt
for serial killers, another humdrum series about love affairs and side stories. Except for the leader of the sect, all the
chief antagonists were killed off in the last series. #the following
UNDER
THE DOME:
UNDER THE
DOME loses its effectiveness, when the main heroine, Angie McAllister (Britt
Robertson), who is supposed to be the link to the butterflies, and the saviour
of the people under the dome, is killed off at the end of the first
season. #under the dome
ALICE
IN WONDERLAND:
ALICE IN
WONDERLAND was perhaps the best photographed series with extremely beautiful close-ups
of the very strong characters. However
it had a short-lived run - with only one season, Alice being married off in the
end. And so a potentially beautiful
series comes to an end. #aliceinwonderland
ONCE
UPON A TIME:
ONCE UPON A
TIME, on the other hand, a hodge-podge of everything from A Thousand And One
Nights and the stories of the brothers Grimm, from Sleeping Beauty to the
adventures of Peter Pan, is completely unoriginal - a total lack of
imagination, combined with plagiarism - and yet it continues … .#onceuponatime
DOWNTON ABBEY:
Amongst the plethora of violent and crime
series, the resurrections and the superheroes, DOWNTON ABBEY, remains a series
dealing with day-to-day human problems, from those of the aristocracy to those
of the servants. Because of its
subtlety, and identification with its characters, the most devastating rape
scene imaginable is the one that is not actually shown. #downtonabbey
NASHVILLE:
NASHVILLE remains the only American series
that deals effectively with human problems, albeit many of them being those of
superstars. And except for the
gratuitous murder of the mayor's girlfriend (which remains
unexplained), and some of the gratuitous sexual encounters, especially the one
of Scarlet O'Connor (Clare Bowen) with her producer, and Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere)
with the mercenary, heartless producer (Jeff Fordham/Oliver Hudson), the series
confronts the characters' problems realistically. #nashville
GRACEPOINT:
GRACEPOINT was another series that slowly unraveled
the misconceptions and misleading clues over nine weeks, without revealing the
any clues until the very last episode: but that was perhaps its only downfall -
it was too sudden to be effective. #gracepoint
MURDER ONE
The slow disentangling of a murder was best
done in MURDER ONE: it pursued the solving and prosecution of one murder over
an entire season of 13 weeks. (when a
season was a season in the United States).
#murderone
LACK OF LOYALTY
The LACK OF LOYALTY of many of the actors
and actresses these days is evident from them suddenly being killed off suddenly,
so that they can star in a more lucrative career, in a movie, or take part in a
more prominent role in another series.
This is the collapse of so many series, including Under The Dome and The
Following. The poaching of accomplished actors from one series by other companies and channels for tv or film seems to be quite succesful. #lackofloyalty
ps I only have the public channels: ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CW to watch; and
a plethora of Christian, Spanish, shopping, and now some European and Asian
programmes at my disposal.
