Life on Mars
Life on Mars (BBC 1 2006-2007) was a brilliant show whose writers understood that great stories have a beginning, middle and definitive end. It’s premise is very simple, the situations that arise therein quite complex. It weaves together a few different genres in what seems like a police procedural as interpreted through literary magical realism.
L Word, The – Season 6 – Final
Showtime’s drama The L Word aired its last episode weeks ago, but what has the show left? The season was pretty messy, as it introduced a new storyline in 3/4 of a season, and it never wrapped anything up.
Desperate Housewives – Season 5
Something must be off on Wisteria Lane. The dark suburban humor and the telenovela mystery of the season were what made this a good show, which now has turned into a pretty much humorless non-mystery telenovela.
Battlestar Galactica – Season 4
Battlestar Galactica is yet another example of lack of originality in Hollywood these days. A re-imagined series of original 1980’s Battlestar Galactica, it is now in its fourth and final season. Though different from its parent series, it has been able to redefine the sci-fi genre and give us a remarkable show, defined by the intensity of its characters.
United States of Tara – Season 1
Tara is a wife, a mother of two, and a mural artist. She also has Dissociative Identity Disorder (D.I.D.), so sometimes she can be T, other times she can be Buck, or sometimes she can be Alice.
