Feb telly update
Lots of new things started in the new year, and some have lasted but others have just dropped off my radar. Things that survived:
- Flashpoint. I like it, and it's growing on me further. The main chap has consistently annoyed me in other things, but I'm getting used to his character here.
- Whitechapel. Turned out to be only 3 episodes, with the final one coming up on Monday. It's been okay, but a bit cliche-riddled.
- CSI:NY. It's okay. None of the characters are particularly interesting, so I probably wouldn't notice if it vanished off my telly.
- Eureka, Eli Stone, Numb3rs - all good.
What I've dropped:
- 24. Yeah, definitely not for me.
- The Border. It looked like it would be interesting, but it's another one of those programmes that seems to think 'gritty' is good, and people are interested in arsehole characters. No thanks.
- Bones. Still pants.
- Generation Kill. I thought it would be too violent, but it just turned out to be immensely dull.
- CSI S9 is heading up its own backside. Well, okay, it's been doing that for a few years now, but I think it's beyond help.
Things still to come:
- Mentalist. Hasn't started as yet.
- Law & Order: UK. It looks like a good effort on the part of ITV. Will wait and see.
- Primeval. Yet to arrive, and no date for it, which is odd.
- Torchwood. Again, yet to arrive and no date. The trailer is cracking, though!
