What have you been watching this week? (w/e September 18)

18 September 2009 Rob Buckley TMINE 2 Comments

Thank God for September. The schedules are starting to fill up again and there’ll be more for everyone to watch from now. Merlin‘s on tomorrow I think, but I’m not sure I’ll be tuning in. You?

Episode three of The Fixer was a bit of a letdown, with nice Kudos cinematography covering up for Spooks-style silliness and character weirdness, but still not bad. The Daily Show‘s back – yey! Mad Men continues from strength to strength. Vampire Diaries doesn’t, and I’m watching the second ep of Supernatural later.

Dragons’ Den online edition has now arrived on BBC2 and is a more sedate affair. Liking them online dragons a lot, especially Julie Meyer who’s quite inspiring in her way. Everything else I watched I think I’ve reviewed now.

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