Oh god, glad I read that, I was about to give Blindspot a chance.
Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I find Blindspot to be a good background noise procedural, which pretty much fits my needs for TV at the moment. Anything that requires too much attention is hard to follow while taking care of ltc. I didn't recognize the lead as the same actress that plays Sif!
Jaimie Alexander is pretty good in it, as is Ashley Johnson, but Sullivan Stapleton is just terrible, and he brings the whole show down with him. It's also a really stupid premise.
He was quite good in the 300 sequel, and people used to rave about him on Strikeback (where he apparently had far less trouble maintaining an American accent). I'm inclined to blame Martin Gero for everything wrong with this trainwreck.
I do mourn the fact that Jaime Alexander isn't the lead on a Lady Sif series instead of this dreck, though.
Blindspot and Quantico are the two new shows I was trying but I'm feeling pretty done with both of them.
Just to prove how shallow I am sometimes, I like Aisha'Tyler's character on Criminal Minds, but what is up with the hair style?
Haven't watched CM in a while, but now I am tempted to tune in to see what you are talking about.
Last week's Castle made more sense than I expected it to (well, the relationshippy bits, the mystery was kind of nonsensical, but I don't particularly mind that). I would like them to just wind this conspiracy stuff up already, though.
The Player continues to be fun. Somebody compared it to Drive elsewhere, and now I keep thinking how right that is (and how much I would like to have more Drive to watch)
There's too much going on on Wednesdays -- Blackish, Supernatural, Empire and CM!
It's a night of difficult decisions.
That's like Tuesdays for me. Grandfathered, The Muppets, The Flash, iZombie, and Below Deck all on in a two hour span. It takes me days to catch up on my viewing.
