Okay I have been wanting to write about my experiences with TV in 2010 for ages now and it's finally time at the end of winter and on the home stretch to the Summer non ratings period.
Okay first local dramas and TV, Packed to the Rafters is still terrible and if it's possible it's getting worse with lame story lines and when my mum claims the show is boring then we have cause for concern. Rescue Special Ops returned and even with hunky guest stars has still failed to excite me and with the news of a third series here to come they will have to work incredibly hard to draw in a bigger audience.
Over to Ten an absolutely terrible debut for Offspring started on the weekend. Boy this was terrible is it a drama or sitcom? Is Asher Keddie good enough to hold the show together? How many Aussie shows is Don Hany in? How many shows is Kat Stewart in? Why are the same actors in Tangle, East West 101, Love My Way and every other Aussie drama, what about all the new NIDA grads?
So Offspring, Packed to the Rafters and Rescue Special Ops get the thumbs down but I am in love with East West 101 and can't wait for the third series to start. I am also still in love with Showcase's great productions such as Tangle and Satisfaction.
I am hoping the new NINE drama Cops LAC or whatever will be decent but if the commericals are anything to go off it's just the cast for Underbelly 2 in a new outing.
Overseas True Blood has stepped it up to a great new level for series 3. Califorication finished strong in series 2 and I can't wait to watch series 3. Nurse Jackie was slightly disappointing in season 2 where United States of Tara was simply terrific, with great new story lines and fantastic character development.
Overall an okay year for TV with my overall outrage that channels over here still wait to the following year to show new series from abroad. For example Desperate Housewives will show in the US next month but in Australia we will wait till Feb 2011 when the series is almost done. GOOD GRIEF!
Oh well happy viewing and look out for more info on upcoming idiot box shit
