astri13Have been trying out a couple new shows this Season. So far I watched the Pilot episodes of
Revenge - not bad, if a bit slow-going. However, my main problem is that this strikes me more as miniseries material. I'm interested in the story NOW but I can already tell that the concept won't hold my interest if stretched out too long.
The Secret Circle - hm, also a slow-going start and reminscent of about 100 movies dealing with this kind of story. I'll give it two or three more eps to see if it picks up speed. Also, I can not see Gale Harold as anything other than Brian Kinney which is odd because I watched maybe only a handful of QAF US.
Once upon a time - an inverse of "The Tenth Kingdom". And again with the slow-goingness. I also have the exact same feeling like with Revenge, that this concept is more befitting a mini series.
So, nothing that blew my socks off so far. Will give Grimm a try as well. And btw, when did fairytales become the new trend? Not that I'm complaining per se as it seems to be at least a fresh idea in serialized TV but I'm missing patient zero here. Usually, those trends come after a particularly successful show/movie with a certain theme. For instance, with the overabundance of comic book movies right now, I wondered why the trend didn't follow to TV really.
Anyone has any other new show pimps, just drop me a line. Everything I'm watching right now are old to middle-aged shows, I miss something fresh on my roster (and some of the old-old-old shows are probably ready to go, at least they should).
