I've been watching, just on general principal (love Doyle, love Victorian era, love costumes, etc.) if nothing else. I'm enjoying it alright, but yeah, nothing earthshattering.
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 can't remember if it was here or elsewhere on the board someone was asking about British crime/police shows with women as protagonists. I've started watching Murder in Suburbia - it's a lot more lighthearted than Scott and Bailey, but enjoyable. And one of the police is the woman who played the wife in Doc Martin.
It was me- I don't remember where either, but I will check it out.
Vera is also quite good, though far from lighthearted. Nowhere near Broadchurch levels of grimdark; but a show that doesn't even try to clear that high hurdle can be pretty grimdark indeed. One relieving factor is the way the title character can vary between real motherly concern, faux motherly concern, and sarcasm turned up to 11. (Yes, my word of the day is "grimdark". Just encountered it for the first time a few weeks ago.)
I love Vera. Just up my alley.
POI season 5, ep 10: Damn.
A spoiler I just read about tonight's Bones finale almost makes me want to turn into their final season.
The buzz I have seen has ranged from they are dooooomed without him to what should an employee expect when they throw a hissy fit and kick people.
Oh they fired him when I read that earlier it was just suspended.
This isn't the first time there was some kind of physical interaction I guess (from what I read this morning). Too bad Shemar Moore left I could see Morgan being promoted to Hotch's place.
I wonder how it will play out. They don't really need Hotch.
No way the writers would do this but it would be awesome if JJ got promoted to Hotch is spot.
