The Good Wife

This post is rather an introduction to the series than a critique – so feel free to read all of it as it has been written with an attempt to avoid spoilers. But I’m warning you, it is quite the novel I have written here so

I recommend coffee and lots of it!

As some of you might already know, I watched the entire series of The Good Wife in a really short period of time and I’m not even sorry. Sure, everything in terms of the plot is now a bit chaotic in my head but I figured that since I spent around 60 hours watching it, I should at least find the time and the means to put down some coherent thoughts. Besides, I really like The Good Wife and therefore I want to share my enthusiasm!

Hannibal (Pilot)

Though this post is mostly about the pilot, there are also arguments from the second episode. Though, no need to be frightened, I kept it spoiler free!

This post comes with a slight delay (the pilot actually aired last week) since I wasn’t quite sure what kind of thoughts I had about Hannibal. One could say, after seeing two episodes, that I’m still indifferent with it. There’s something off about the show and yet, I can’t really put my finger on it but I will try to do my best when I explain my point of view and the still indifferent opinion about Hannibal.

Bates Motel (Pilot)

This post is meant for those who don’t mind spoilers. Also, people who enjoyed Bates Motel might want to avoid this review of the pilot due to it being extremely negative.

I initially planned to pen down Hung’s first season but then I decided to shake things up and review a single episode instead. Bates Motel happened to premier this week and since it didn’t appeal to me at all, I doubt I will get past its second episode let alone be able to watch the whole first season – therefore, the only time I do write about Bates Motel is in this post.

American Horror Story (Season 2): Asylum

Warning! This posts is mostly meant for those who have seen and enjoyed the second season of AHS. In other words, this post contains SPOILERS!

When it comes to some shows, I decide to go with the ignore all season and then spend the entire day watching all the episodes back to back option. As you can guess, American Horror Story’s second season had the pleasure to be consumed all at once this year. Then all of a sudden it had the pleasure to be forgotten completely and if Sati from Cinematic Corner hadn’t mentioned my lack of review about the Asylum oriented season, this post wouldn’t be here. So thank you, Sati!

My Mad Fat Diary (Season 1)

If you do not take into account the fact that sometimes they kill off characters way too lightly (Downton Abbey), or that they make you wait for the next season what only seems to be forever (Sherlock), or that they might ruin the entire show after its third season (Misfits), British do get a lot of things right. My Mad Fat Diary is no exception! With its fresh take on teenagers back in the 90′s, the show tackles serious problems relevant nowadays through the eyes of a very sarcastic and funny girl named Rae.

House of Cards (Season 1)

Last week, while I was not updating my blog (which seemed to be the theme for this week as well, sorry guys!) I watched House of Cards and got lost into its intrigue and complicated political terms I can’t even comprehend with the help of Wikipedia. It was created by Netflix and the show’s entire first season, all of its 13 episodes, were released at the same time (finally, somebody understands how TV-shows are made to be watched) and it stars the brilliant Kevin Spacey.

Girls (Season 1)

The first thing you should know about me regarding this show, is the fact that I didn’t like it after I watched its pilot while it just had aired. I was annoyed by Lena Dunham’s character Hanna and I only watched Girls to express some negative feedback regarding its Golden Globe win over Modern Family. After the season finale, I realized that the hate I have towards the show is more or less pointed at Lena Dunham and her character, and not so much at others. Plus, there was that one total fangirl moment that made me squeal and love this show a bit more than I was expecting in the beginning.
