This past week has been hectic in terms of watching and finishing series. Catching up with wonderful and mind-blowing series is pretty much called hard work.
Sepinwall always sang praises about this but I was too wrapped up in Mad Men to care. But when it started to make it to lists on top of the decade, I knew I couldn’t ignore it.
I covered the series in about 4 days. It’s something that first takes you in easily – you want to know what is going to happen to this man who has knowingly involved himself in danger. But then you go from care to apathy to excitement. The acting is top-notch and so is the plot.
Top marks all around.
I also covered one season of Twin Peaks. I would call this show an existential dilemma made easy (oxymoronic, I guess). The show is like a small-town meets Luis Bunuel. David Lynch’s Blue Velvet is like this too – It looks like a mystery, but it’s a surreal look at the seedy mechanics going underneath. The music is haunting and so are the town folk. Kyle MacLanchlan is a treat to watch.
I’ve finished most of Cougar Town (atleast as much as was made). It’s fun to watch cause it’s witty, crisp and refreshing. Although 24-hour wine drinking bums me out. But it’s still nice to watch if you want a break from all the heavy drama.
This is what I’m currently watching – Korean drama Full House is a long journey ‘cause even though there are 16 episodes, each one is almost more than an hour. Plus, it is a pain to find them! It’s a bit of melodrama and romance but not bad to watch. Definitely recommended.
