TV analysis

I’ve finished Dexter. All 3 seasons in 3 weeks. This series is the nuts. I would put it an extreme close 2nd behind the Wire. I actually might put it ahead because I haven’t seen the Wire in a while to make that accurate. If you haven’t watched it all then stop reading now because there will be spoilers ahead. The episode where Dexter proposes to Rita practically brought a tear to my eye. I usually am too manly to admit this but you really grow with the characters and it was really a great scene. It’s a show about a serial killer and I rave about the marriage proposal, gay I know but how can you not fall in love with Rita. I also thought Deb’s potty mouth was awesome throughout each season. I thought I would hate her character but she really was a good actress. Angel was probably the worst but not too annoying and Masuka had hilarious commentary at times. All in all it was good casting.

The story lines in every season were phenomenal. I can’t pick a best season. I thought the “skinner” was a little stupid but Dexter’s battle with Miguel was enthralling. The Bay Harbor Butcher put Dexter under the most heat. And the Ice Truck Killer season made a good effort at describing his background. I just really, really enjoy this series. Rita shows her tits, bad guys get offed, stories come together like you would never believe. Some things bother me like how Dexter took down Dokes with handcuffs on. Or when Miguel busts the Nazi freak, drive away and everyone just forgets he escapes. Or when the Skinner lets Dexter escape because he has his tools a mile away, wtf? I don’t really care though it was awesome and I’m upset I’m out of episodes. I guess I’ll wait till Season 4.

True Blood delivered once again. This is just an awesome show. People probably dismiss it because it’s vamps and freaks but it’s just so entertaining. How did the wife put her panties on with her dress down? Nevermind, Eric is the man but the Bill and the other bitch vampire is sort of boring. That’s kind of the only part that lets me down and for some reason they show way to much of it. Sam and the Maryann is heating up and I’m a bit pissed they axed Daphne. I’m really looking forward to next week when all hell breaks loose. Should be a good one. A final thought, I don’t usually go for red heads but Jessica! Nice.True_Blood-Jessica-Deborah_Ann_Woll

Entourage is biting it in my opinion. Turtle bores the hell out of me. Watching Vince and Eric bang random chicks is going nowhere. Drama is getting old. Ari is saving the show but Andrew Klein has got to go. What the hell was the mole behind Gary Cole’s ear? More Sloan. I’ll stop bashing and give them a one episode pardon but I wasn’t impressed.

Weeds tonight was so so. I don’t see where the season is going. I have lost interest in all the characters and only watch the show for entertainment. I don’t think this is a very good show anymore.

TV Time

I watch TV. I only watch a handful of carefully picked shows, but I think I have good taste in what a good show is.

Daisy of love is not a good show. This is a pure entertainment show. There is no good that comes out of this show. I DVR it so I only have to watch 40 minutes of it. The characters are funny though and I like watching other drunk people do stupid things, whereas it’s usually me getting drunk and doing stupid things. Down to the last episode and I could care less.

True Blood still has my interest although I didn’t think Sunday’s episode was the greatest. Not much to really write about, just a transition episode.

I watched Weed’s tonight. It’s ok. Silas and Shane have grown on me, I hate Celia and now Nancy is getting on my nerves. Is the one guy working for Silas and Doug in MTV’s Boiling Points?

I watched the Pilot of HBO’s Hung. I’ll watch the other 2 episodes but it just lacked substance. It was average, the main character wasn’t bad but the other characters all sucked. I wouldn’t recommend it but I’ll write about the other 2 episodes just for the sake of it.

I’m on a mission to watch the Dexter’s. This is a smart show that I completely missed the boat on. I don’t think it’s as good as the Wire was but it’s pretty high on my list of quality series. I just started Season 2 and hope to finish it before the weekend ends. I don’t really see any reason to break down why I like the show so much, I’ll save that till after I finish it.

Television

I’m watching 3 shows right now that I find entertaining. True Blood, Daisy of Love, and Weeds. I’ll start with the good, the bad, and then the ugly.

True Blood is an awesome show. 3 episodes in and I’m excited for next week. They leave a cliffhanger at the end of each episode which I think is fine. Some people probably flip out at the end of every episode but I think they are just doing a great job luring the viewers back. They’ve been showing Sookie’s boobs alot which I’m over. Tara and the ripped bro are really annoying. Sam and the crazy witch bitch’s relationship is heading somewhere. Jessica as a vamp kind of pisses me off because she looks so weird that I want to dislike her but for some reason her ability to do impulsive crazy shit is ok for me. Bill doesn’t really bother me and Eric is turning into the fucking man. Jason Stackhouse is gonna bone the wife eventually and even though I think his part is pretty lame so far, they are setting something up. This wouldn’t be a show I would usually like but I’m entertained by people having super abilities and HBO is just coming through with a fine series in my opinion.

Weed’s is the bad. I’m not really sure what happened. I’ll still watch it but for some reason the show just lost the allure. Maybe because it seems like “been there done that”. None of the characters really even get on my nerves either. I could do without Celia but I think Nancy is a good actress. Shane is retarded now but I can even tolerate him. Andy’s character seems repetitive and Silas and Doug keep up some funny banter. I’m probably being overly critical because I will tune in next week but I just think the show’s seen better days.

Daisy of Love is the ugly. Specifically Daisy is the ugly. These guys aren’t getting a prize. They are getting a washed up, enhanced stripper, whose face is just deceiving whether it looks good or not. Don’t get me wrong, I think the show is great and she plays the part fine. I know it’s ridiculous but the way these characters interact with eachother and the stupid shit they do, really make entertaining TV. Plus VH1 uses dopey music for some characters and they do a good job of pointing out the craziness of certain situations. The dude ChiChi on the show was the biggest pussy i’ve ever seen. The driving seen was retarded in the last episode. I don’t really feel manly watching this show but I find it entertaining.
