Weekend Chills n TV Finales


Being sick at a time when a lot of US shows are hanging up their shoes for the season or ever is equally rewarding and depressing.

I wanted to MOVE this May but again this damn flu (I blame Sydney public transport) has left me on the couch only coming good around lunchtime till 4pm. A head cold is like being a Liberal voter, your head is cloudy and lacks any form of good judgement.

Try going to Coles, when it's busy and your head is telling you to head back to bed, your stomach is rejecting the thought of any food entering your body and legs fell like you are wearing lead boots.

So the TV is comforting and depressing all at once. Seeing fit and well being people bounce around the screen makes me feel a little sad.

So here is what I have caught up on:

Empire - wow, Soap Opera finale much? We will have to wait a few months to see who lives and who dies on this extremely up and down series. Unfortunately the second last episode with SPOILER ALERT Jamal being shot was a much better episode.

The 100 - man this series lost the plot this season and the biggest story was killing off a lesbian character who was only to return during the finale for some random AI nonsense. If it wasn't for the hottest Aussie man in Hollywood Bobby Morley I would leave this one by the wayside.

The Blacklist - wrapping up a tidy and well done third series, a huge improvement on the second formulaic dull second outing. However a twist I should have seen a mile off left me feeling cold and hoping the Spin Off series is more realistic and enjoyable.

Wolf Creek (Stan Series) - Is Mick Taylor actually dead? Can Stan afford to lose it's best produced series? This was outstanding and if this is what local streaming is made of, I'm sold!!

Still to view the double finale of the recently renewed The Catch, will it redeem the last few luke warm episodes? Time will tell.

Oh the sick bed, and oh the Golden Age of TV.
