Yay! I finally got Follow buttons for people! Downlaoding Opera seemed to be best for this site. Odd choice really.

Breaking Bad

This was a fun ride. Intense and suspenseful. The writing was solid all the way through (except maybe the finale). The cast was top notch. The characters so well designed by the writers and so well created by the actors.

There is no redemption in this story. It's rough til the end.

Definitely overrated. It's not bad but it is clearly written for the Breaking Bad fanatics who will watch anything associated with Breaking Bad. The writers expect you to be familiar with the characters that were in Breaking Bad. I can't imagine this show would work well for anyone who hadn't watched that show first.

It's really slow paced and at times tiresome.

This is how a poor title choice can kill an otherwise good show. It was a funny show with a great cast. The dynamics between "the wives" were hilarious and not the (usually) cliche you would expect given the title. It really deserved 3 seasons.

This was a mix of talented actors, great guests and lazy writing. And it has Betty White - one if the great comedy actors of all time. Her performance on SNL showed she still has the timing, I really wanted to like it more but the show is formulaic, the characters cheap stereotypes, the story lines stale, and the misogyny tiresome. Older women, who are often neglected by Hollywood, deserve better.

It's a chuck lorre show. As boring as the rest of them. There is a reason why chuck lorre requires laugh tracks on everything.

That was fun.

Unfortunately for those of us in the US we were stuck with catty commentators who didn't know the difference between Belgium and the Netherlands. And we couldn't vote. Nor were we able to get the Justin Timberlake performance. The only US performance was banned in the US. But we were in it for the contestants anyway. (Justin's performance can be seen on the SVT version of the show.)

Petra Mede is my new favourite TV presenter. The voting system is odd - the people voted for Russia, the judges choose Australia so the Ukraine won.

Great show. I can't believe it's over.

Starts out mediocre then gets exceedingly shittier as the series goes on. In the end I couldn't figure out why I bothered watching any of it. Though I did have it on as background noise while I did other things so technically I didn't torture myself too much.

The main characters -Sookie and Bill - are terrible. The over the top Hollywood shrieking is tiresome before the pilot is over and their "romance" is sad and cliche.

Also, don't listen to all the claims of how "unique" or "original" this show is. It really rips off a lot of other series, most noticeably Buffy.

Pointless remake. It's too long and drawn out. The acting is mediocre but I found myself less invested in the characters than in the original. Also some of the casting choices were disappointing.

Do yourself a favour and watch the original. Or better yet, read the book.

Sweet show, a bit cheesy but very likeable. I really liked the casting on this show. Good actors who worked well together.

If you watch it on DVD they do a very disappointing "final episode". It was thrown together to tie up loose ends and give everyone a happy ending. It never aired for good reason.
