Fargo (FX Series)

I'm happy to hear Fargo took home the Emmy for best miniseries. I just finished the last episode, and it was perfect! From the moment I started the series, till just now. I was constantly glued to the television!

Having a full cast of comedians play (some what) serious rolls is a smart move on the creators part. It fit the tone well and you never knew what was coming next. Fargo keeps the same feel of the Coen brothers film, while at the same time delving into its own world and pulling out a completely new story involving some great original characters. I'm definitely going to keep a look out for more of Noah Hawley future work.

I'm very interested in season 2 now. So far all I know is that it will be primarily set in Sioux Falls, S.D., in 1979, with some of the story taking place in Luverne, MN. A new actor will play the younger version of Lou Solverson at age 33, newly back in the States from Vietnam. (a story that was briefly touched upon during the first season)

Do yourself a favor and check out Fargo when it lands on bluray and dvd October 14th.

R.I.P. True Blood

I stuck with True Blood for seven seasons. Seven seasons and I feel as if none of the episodes were quite as awful as that finale. From the direction, to the acting, to writing... Everything felt half assed. I will admit, I had fun with True Blood. But this series was definitely not perfect by any means.

Also for a vampire series, it was at least a better representative of the White Wolf series in comparison to say, Kindred: The Embraced.


PS: What was up with Tara's over dubbed kid voice?!

Dexter: That's all folks! (Non spoiler review)

I really shouldn't have watched Dexter's final episode AFTER the Breaking Bad finale (which was perfect by the way!)

I've been watching Dexter since the beginning and man has this show been a roller coaster. Dexter hasn't been near perfect. Not since Julie Benz left the series a few years back. Which is hilarious when you think about it. Fans hated Rita once the baby was born. "She is always weighing Dexter down!", "Dexter can never get kills done with Rita around!" The writers listened to the fans and crossed her off the cast. I'm not going to lie, I was upset.

When writing a show, you should have your own vision and stick with it. I feel like the writing team on Dexter really pulled a "Mass Effect 3" and changed it's story for the fans sake. I thought the Rita struggle worked out great and gave us a lot of "Oh shit" moments. From a studio standpoint, I can see why they would cater to the fans. But you are compromising the original story and that bums me out.

I gave up on Dexter during it's last season. Deb finds out he kills people and ties up all her loose ends? Great! Where are we going to go with this? Nowhere...in fact we are going to introduce a slew of new characters we want you to get attached to in the final season. It doesn't make any sense! As for the last half hour of the final episode. What the hell? Things could have gone so many different ways and they didn't. In fact most of the outcomes were down right laughable. The ending to Dexter feels like it was written two days before they started shooting the finale and it shows.

Dexter, you had some great seasons (season 4!) but you really fell into a Hellmouth at the end there.

I'll be recommending LOST to friends over you, if anyone asks.

Now Watching: Sleepy Hollow (FOX)

Talk about a show I really wanted to like. I can't take the hint of campy FOX writing added to a retelling of an Ichabod Crane tale. That, along with seeing the Headless Horsemen with a sub machine gun just felt wrong.  But it is the beginning of fall and it just seems right to watch. At least the locations are beautiful to look at. My friends have hope so I'll ride this one out just a little longer.

I guess this was the "Asian cop" roll John Cho was auditioning for some years back. lol
