I'd been looking forward to the Will Trent show, since I'd been reading the books from the start. I saw the second one and kept thinking how different it was from the book. I may not continue with it.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

I've been enjoying Will Trent. For me he has a bit of an Agent Pendergast vibe that sucked me in right away.

I've been watching a lot of cop shows from the 70s and 80s like Quincy, Hunter, and Kojak. It's a little disturbing to see how much these "heroes" were sexist assholes.

I was watching some 70s and 80s game shows, and ditto. And when we had Hulu a couple of years ago, we watched St. Elsewhere. Yikes.

I happened on a Columbo marathon recently and yeah. Poker Face , which is wonderful, draws on it heavily. (Not that part ha ha.)

One of these days I’m gonna have to binge some Columbo. I don’t know that I ever really watched it but I vaguely like it based on what I’ve absorbed from the zeitgeist and ether.
Ooh, Justified!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Old skool Hawaii 5-0. The first four seasons are pretty consistently remarkable… then it’s a cop show with periodic really good episodes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm just happy it's an FX show that is actually on FX! Because I have cable, but not Hulu.
