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'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.
