Felicity Huffman is FIERCE in American Crime


I did NOT want to get hooked on anymore series. I already have enough on my plate (Channel Ten - heads up some good shit here, unlike Masterchef, Biggest Loser and fucking hell Studio 10 - WTF):

Bates Motel - Almost incest has never been so intriguing...

Gotham - Not the best of the Superhero shows (more to come on Marvel I promise) but still Ben McKenzie is ageing nicely and I have also had a soft (sometimes hard) spot for Batman.

The Following - It has sort of gone to the dogs but still a lot more refreshing than The Block

The Flash - Better than Gotham but still lacks something, however easy to watch and gives the CW a glimmer of hope for a brighter future.

Wentworth - AUSTRALIA's best show in years. Foxtel, well done this is superb television. The cast are 5 star, the story lines amazing and the fresh approach to Women's prison, FAB.

The Blacklist - Like Revenge how long can this last? (Revenge - officially cancelled this week after 4 long Revenge seasons) How long is this fucking Blacklist? I do need however to see the end game play out.

The Red Road - Short Sundance season with the extremely handsome Kiwi national Martin Henderson.

The Messengers - The CW has followed the Leftovers and multiple other shows about the christian rapture. Sometimes it's great to watch amazing shows and have a shit show on the go too so you appreciate the good.

Game of Thrones - I told you I was watching a lot...

Nurse Jackie - Concluding this year  after almost running completely out of ideas. That said this show has had some wonderful moments over the 7 years it's been running, yes 7 years. Showtime it's time for some new, fresh programming.

Penny Dreadful - Random new-ish (2nd Season starts today - USA) series on Showtime, is it their new cult Dexter? Nope.

Revenge - as above finally ending in two weeks, how will it end? Victoria, Conrad and Daniel Grayson dead, Charlotte Grayson MIA, Nolan heartbroken, Jack WTF in LA with his shirt off all the time? Oh Revenge how did a once good show go for way too long without a single cause.

Secrets & Lies - Aussie remake from 6 episodes to a drawn out 10. Hardly any Ryan Phillippe shirtless scenes after Martin Henderson (The Red Road above) seemed to be near naked every episode. A second season looks likely with Juliette Lewis continuing her role with a new case. Has promise and if anything the ABC (US) needs a new hit, How to Get Away with Murder is massive but they need more than just one monster runaway hit.

Silicon Valley - intelligent HBO comedy, with a few laugh out loud moments.

So yeah I am watching a lot!

But American Crime, 4 episodes in is wonderful and so important right now with all what's happening in Baltimore...
