TVs: Longmire, Continuum, Saving Hope
Jun. 10th, 2012 09:13 pmA. Longmire is a show about a cranky old white dude solving crime. If this is your thing, you should be watching it. If, like me, you are incredibly tired and do not give a crap about cranky old white dudes, this is not the show for you.
Not even Katee Sackhoff could save this mediocre (and incredibly obvious) piece of crap show. (when your premiere episode is about hookers, one would hope for at least a little of the narrative to give them some agency, but instead, they are merely Faceless Hookers)
(sadly, I will probably watch it more for Katee, as she is not on my tv in any other capacity)
B. Episode two of Continuum was a bit better than the first, although Alec is still creepy as hell (and the show doesn't acknowledge it). Also, still WAY HINKY that all the terrorists are people of color. I'm just sayin'.
C. If watching Michael Shanks stand around in a tux all day is your thing? You should watch this show. Sadly for him, his wife is probably having more fun shooting people and blowing things up on Continuum. Though the pilot stole Alec from Continuum for a while (srsly, Vancouver, do you not have more than twenty working actors?). And Hale was in it for 5.3 seconds (though he seems to be a full-time cast-member, so might get more time later on).
It's pretty much an E.R. substitute, but with 'ghosts'. I appreciated that the women talked to each other, even if almost every plotline was kinda predictable (and about love).
