A hit and a miss...

graculusBecause I need new TV shows, clearly, I tried out two new contenders for the watchlist with varying degrees of success:
Fargo
I love the Coen brothers. I didn't love this. Not really sure why, except that I don't really find Martin Freeman all that interesting an actor any more (if I ever did) as all I can see is John Watson with a funny accent. Ho hum.
Turn
Came for Jamie Bell, stayed for Jamie Bell and Burn Gorman and incredible amounts of snark from a character called Simcoe who is played by a guy called Samuel Roukin. For someone who's been a prisoner of war for the best part of the show so far, he's so full of sass that it's awesome to watch.
Since it's set in the US revolutionary war, there seem to be more Brit actors in it than not and so far it's managing to avoid the cliché of British-bad and American-good.
Oh, and Orphan Black is back and what Felix is wearing for most of the first episode of season 2 is well worth the price of admission on its own! ;)
