Day 19 - Best TV show cast

At the moment (though ask me again tomorrow and my answer could be different), I think it's between Elementary and Orphan Black for this one, though I guess the presence of multiple Tatiana Maslany characters could balance things out a little too far in other direction?

What I really like about Elementary is its non-tokenistic diversity, the fact that they've managed to cast a trans-sexual to play a trans-sexual, that Lucy Liu's portrayal of Watson has her character easily punching at the same weight as Holmes rather than being the bumbling sidekick and then there's Clyde. Oh, and Alfredo, whose actor has been an absolute revelation to me, having also enjoyed him very much in Copper.

Where Orphan Black is concerned, even once you take away Ms Maslany's performance(s) you still have the awesomeness that is Jordan Gavaris as her foster brother Felix, a real scene-stealing turn from him and a bunch of solid supporting performances from everyone else we come across.


Meanwhile, in other news I am still looking for work, which I fully expect to be the state of play for some time. Given that I was last actually unemployed in 1991, it's fair to say that things have changed a little when it comes to both dealing with the job centre and looking for jobs, though I wish there was a bit less duplication across the various websites I've been told to use. Been sending stuff off as directed but no joy so far except that...

I got an unexpected phone call late this afternoon after I sent in a CV this morning and am off to sign up properly with that agency tomorrow, after which I should apparently expect a proper interview with actual employers. It's for a job at one of the local universities so I can see why they'd want someone in post asap and hopefully that someone will be me! *crosses fingers* ;)
