Review

Man this show just never gets old. Nine years and still going just as strong as when it began, even more so in my opinion. It's rare for a show to on for this long without bringing some kind of fatigue to the plot, but somehow they manage to keep it fresh. The action, the humor, the monsters, the writing, and the acting still represent some of the highest quality entertainment on television. I could really see this show becoming like Doctor Who or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a cult classic that will wind up spanning multiple generations.



Thus far season nine has picked up where season eight left off. The angels have all been locked out of heaven, Abaddon is still on the loose, Crowley is the Winchester's captive, and Castiel is (once again) merely human. So far we have a great story mash up, with some pretty cool monsters to be fought (does the Wicked Witch of the West mean anything to you?). I'll be updating this review when necessary as the season progresses to give a continued idea of what it consists of.



One final point I want to make. If you watch the show online, then please be sure to buy this DVD set. Supernatural has been around for along time, it even survived the 2007 writers guild strike that wound up killing the momentum of so many other shows (Heroes, Prison Break, Lost, etc). Supernatural has been, and continues to be, a masterpiece of entertainment. With piracy at an all time high, and with the economy the way it is, it's more important than ever to support fantastic shows like this in order to keep them going for all to enjoy.

Most people have been complaining about the series dragging, but then again, they've been expecting mini-movies and not a SERIES. Joss Whedon's direction and this fabulous casts' acting showcase a story with surprising twists, all sorts of odd and unexpected connections between the characters and an over-arcing story that leaves you wondering what's going to happen next. As a writer myself, I have to applaud Whedon and the writers on this show for their ability to leave you wondering "what the hell did I just see?" almost every other episode. The actors are gelling into a fine ensemble, and Clark Gregg leads them through a maze of plot complications all tied into the movies that are part of the universe as well., Fine job, folks, fine job.

CUSTOMER REVIEW

Review

In my opinion most pilots are an episode you wade through understanding that the true series will,in most cases, look nothing like the pilot because the writers are still in a creative chaos mode, hoping for a green light from the studio.

The Black List was a very different experience. This pilot was interesting and entertaining. Every scene was well planned and had the look of $$ confidence behind it. Also the character/plot development is engaging and leaves the viewer with an "ok - you have opened the door to secrets now I am hooked" feeling. And finally - James Spader - well what a great choice for the wonderfully wicked Reddington!

I look forward to Monday nights and am pleased the networks (NBC in this case) have scored one over cable.

I have loved this show every season but that said, last season left me a little bit cold. This season, however is off to an excellent start. It is a fresh beginning for many of the characters some relocating to L.A. Some to Detroit, business is booming. Don, who is still on his paid leave of absence from the agency is living between New York and L.A. where Megan has set up shop. He still keeps his toe in the water by commissioning Freddy to do freelance work for the agency that he creates. Megan's flamboyant new agent has landed her a part in an NBC pilot.She is still dealing with the aftershocks of her miscarriage and as always is frustrated with Don for whom work always comes first. Actually, second he is still making advances on any attractive woman when she's not around. One woman even asks him if his wife would take exception to his coming on to her and he replies that his wife already knows he's not a good husband. Peter has also moved to L.A. And has traded in his gloom and angst for the California sunshine as N.Y. Transplants to the west coast are wont to do. Back in New York Joan(played by the superlative Christina Hendricks) is still struggling to be taken seriously by her male peers. She is attempting to convince a long time client not to go to in house advertising, at first he takes her less than seriously, but eventually she ends up saving him his job. Both Joan and Peggy are struggling with success as modern woman of that time all must have. It provides a fascinating contrast to the privileges enjoyed by sexist males of the era and really highlights the large cultural shifts of that time. Roger sterling is discovering with another new young lover, that free love exacts a price, his bed has become a revolving stage.The production values, as always is top notch even if this was not the most aesthetically pleasing period. I was born in 1969 so watching these details fascinates me. It makes me feel quite old that at that time men like Don Draper still wore hats!

The inaugural episode of this season of The Good Wife is worth a play and a re-play for its tightly wound acting and action. The dramatics are flawless and the script spares not a single word. Even if you have never seen this series before, I recommend you seeing this episode because it is television drama at its best. That includes the synchronization of music, so well chosen, as well as the light humor in the robotic tele-commuter. Kudos all around.

The enemy of my enemy is my ally... The show continues to deliver an incredible story, acting and directing. This first episode lives up to its very high expectations and then some. It is a pleasure to reunite with the series with a strong first episode. Monroe with his funny character adds a touch of softness and the chief of police whom we thought was Grimm's enemy is now trying to save him! Where do you go from such a 'wow' effect? Only higher we hope. Kudos to the actors, an incredible strong team! But is the half prince really trying to save Nick??.... H'm.
