We watch TV so you don’t have to
The most immersive TV Program I’ve ever seen. I really felt like I was sitting in the passenger seat of that one guy’s car as he drove from Paraguay to the states. Every second that ticked by. Every time we had to pull over for gas. All the boredom of being on the road without seeing another soul – only the audio cassette to keep us company.
I gotta hand it to the crew, they made those one hour episodes feel like days.
Final Score: 0.3 / 10
Quite possibly the best show ever produced.
That’s all you need to know.
Final Score: 2.98 / 10
This is what happens when you get a highly talented cast of normal looking people. You’re not paying for the all the fluff. Instead, you can use that extra money to buy writers that know a thing or two about grey characters. The end product is an entertaining, not-so-far-fetched Television program.
Final Score: 2.8 / 10
If this show was in American, it would be marginal at best. However, simply by virtue of being Australian, Fisk sky-rockets to the top of my charts.
I think when I asked my robot to generate an image, it used Julia Dreyfus. At this point I can’t tell what’s going on any more. No one can. What we do know is Fisk is excellent. Casting, writing, delivery – no complaints.
Final Score: 2.75 / 10
Season one was excellent. Well worth it. Hit all the right notes. Good on screen talent, fun mysterious plot, plenty of nostalgia. It should have ended there.
The cumulative sum of all five seasons can be described in one word: unbelievable. If Billy doesn’t come out, the world will end. Nancy murdered three American servicemen. After everything is over, the government just shrugs and says “fuck it, we’re not going to pursue this any more”.
Final Score: 0.12 / 10
This is the best show on Television for the following reasons:
None of the above is national news. There is no manhunt or search for the missing girls. The police chief (I don’t think we’re allowed to call them that any more) reports she doesn’t have a budget for resources to take on cases like this. She does have budget for fancy tactical spelunking equipment though, which is good. In any case, she makes no headway in her cases. Fortunately Dexter moves to town.
He uses good old fashioned homicide to get to the bottom of things. As usual, our hero dispenses the king’s justice swiftly and brutally, taking out 2 of 3 bad guys like a laymen would the trash. The final one, the last boss, was a bit more of a challenge. You see, Dexter’s son has a thing with this older gentleman, so Dexter has to be careful of the backlash of teenage angst should he kill his son’s older man-friend.
In fact, this show is written by teenagers for teenagers. If you’re into that sort of thing, have at it. But it’s not all bad. The father son duo find a ventilation pipe protruding from what appears to be an innocuous snow-covered landscape. The killer’s underground lair might have been up to code as far as HVAC was concerned, but it spelled his doom.
That’s enough for now. Still watching. Still holding my breath.
