What have you been watching this week (w/e 8 May)?

8 May 2009 Rob Buckley TV reviews, UK TV, US TV 5 Comments

Seen anything good? Seen anything bad? Let your fellow blog readers know, so they can spend their viewing time wisely.

We’ve caught up with House in the US. Last week’s episode about the deaf community nearly caused my wife to turn into She Hulk and start to smash things – particularly the bits about cochlea implants – but this week’s seemed better, and head Amber’s as fun as the original so it’s been nice to see her again.

Life’s a bit duller without Heroes though, 24 has fallen right through the floor and David Caruso trying to interact with children on CSI: Miami was one of the scariest things on television since Ghostwatch. I think I almost fell asleep during The Mentalist, at times, but nice to see a female near-rival to Jane’s talents – will she become his Irene Adler for season two?

The Unit managed to mess up what had been a previously promising story arc with a dumb twist. Stupid Unit.

As always, no spoilers unless you’re going to use the <spoiler> </spoiler> tags, please? Ta!

    I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
