Graceland is like other USA shows, but better, says June Thomas. I guess I'm in, then!
'Sleeper'
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
if it is as good as Silk Stalkings (ha!) I am in.
One line from that review,
But USA’s greatest gift is for casting.
really struck me. It's so true - even when the dialogue is crap or the stories are outlandish, I stick around for how much I like the people. On the shows that I've given up (Suits) or never watched (that U.S. Marshalls thing that I'm blanking on the name of), I still have a lot of fondness for the characters. Quite a gift, really.
Silk Stalkings, where South Florida had cliffs.
In Plain Sight.
I really liked the guy who played Marshall.
The Killing: Jewel Staite with the Serenity line was pretty funny. I don't think I understand their relationship if he keeps his toothbrush at her place but she hasn't seen his tattoos.
I did not get the dramatic visuals. The dying cow and all the skeletons, the stand of trees that didn't look particularly like the drawing but somehow led her to what I guess is a stash of bodies, they just made me say "what am I looking at?" more than anything else.
What was the Serenity line?
"Serenity: sounds like a stripper's name"
Something like that.
Mad Men: What is up with Bob Benson? There's no way he's really in love with Pete. It doesn't feel right. Apparently, there's all sorts of theories floating about, like he's a government spy. As the link points out, he is a skilled liar.
I don't know, but I am interested. Manolo said he's "a great salesman" which makes me wonder what their backstory might be.
The motivational record was highly intriguing.
