Recaps

slThe most underrated TV show ever has been canned. Southland has been cancelled after 5 seasons. Why is crap reality dominating the airwaves yet amazing drama’s failing? What happened to real scriptwriters, hardcore drama and actual acting? What is TV coming to?

Michael Cudlitz, who played the phenomenal John Cooper has tweeted -
Thank you all for the amazing support. TNT gave us 3 extra years… Be kind. ; )

If you have never seen the show, try it. It’s on SoHo on Foxtel and season 5 (the best ever) should come to late nights on Nine. I accidently taped the show and got hooked in series 3. After all the TV I watch, I can say is the best drama show I have ever seen. Continue reading »

jane-by-designHere is my review of Jane By Design – airing May 27th on FOX8 at 9.20pm.

Jane By Design is what the Carrie Diaries should have been. A fashionista with creative flair who doesn’t have a mother and wants to transform her life – yes, sounds familiar doesn’t it. The only difference here is that this is great TV. The familiar fish out of water story is prominent but we are on Jane’s side from the get go. This is very much Sex and the City meets The Devil wears Prada for teens and fans of these shows. I loved it. Continue reading »

BatesMotelBBates Motel , well it’s slow, monochromatic and the first 15 minutes almost sent me to sleep – BUT WAIT! It does get better. You don’t need to have seen the movie Psycho at all and know who the characters represent, but it might help. To me this show is creepier than the movie though. But this is based now and not 53 years ago, when it was shocking.

Even if it’s a modern re-imagining and prequel to the movie Psycho (1960). This story begins with the earlier years of a teenage Norman Bates and his mother Norma who live in an old house overlooking the adjoining motel which they are renovating. This comes after a pretty grim earlier look at Norman’s life that will take some thinking sbout. Continue reading »
