The weather’s been kind of good, lots of people have been away on holiday, but just in case you’ve caught something good this week, why not everyone know below?
I’ve been playing catch-up on Royal Pains, Leverage, Burn Notice, Dark Blue and a number of other shows this week – fingers crossed, Mad Men and Dexter this afternoon, and I might even get on to watching all of Defying Gravity as well at some point. Royal Pains is starting to branch out a bit thanks to the addition of a new character, but given it is essentially summer viewing, ‘hots up’ – while puntastic – probably isn’t the right word – more like . Burn Notice was interesting, but the horrors committed against Irish accents with the last episode made it slightly unwatchable at times.
Leverage had quite a nifty, outright comedic episode set in a private school that was good to watch, but the others didn’t leave much of an impression. Dark Blue continues to be almost very good, but continues to be spoilt by Dermot Fluffyhair and an inability to ever cross the dark edge it would like us all to think it was approaching, only look over it a bit and ho hum a lot.
How’s about you guys?
UPDATE: I should have mentioned that I also saw the first episode of the fourth season of Psych. Slightly disappointing, and I feel like I’ve missed an episode, judging by the arrival of Shawn’s unseen new girlfriend. Not desperately funny, but there was a really good joke about The Mentalist and Cary Elwes was fun as a master art thief (of sorts). And will they ever go anywhere with the Shawn/Juliet saga? At least there are hints this episode.
UPDATE 2: And I left off 10 Things I Hate About You, which is still okay, but is lightweight and only a 10th as good as the movie. Nice to see they’re not teasing out the relationships forever, and the dad is turning out to be more interesting than previously suspected, too.
As always, no spoilers unless you’re going to use the <spoiler> </spoiler> tags, please
