T.V. Programmes You Would Recommend to Others

[lady_windermere]

I've seen a bit of excitment around my friends list for some TV Programmes, and wonder if you would agree, or if there are others you would like to add to the list.

The British seasons are quite short, others, even if they are American, are short as well!

Merlin. It seems to appeal to the younger members of my flist, but the ones it does appeal to are into it in a big way! I'm not sure, as I was raised on tales of Autherian legend, and the Knights of the Round Table. I'm also used to a far older Merlin.

Being Human. Last episode next week, but only seven episodes and a pilot. The pilot doesn't have the same actors. Have to say everyone seems to LOVE it. I've caught up now, and yes, it is great! Each episode is about an hour long, with no adverts. Don't know if the rest of the world would go for that, or if it would have to be cut.

Leverage. Watch for Christian Kane, stay for great stories. Oh and look out for the Doctor Who references!

Dollhouse I wasn't sure about watching, I was expecting a bit more excitment around my flist for this, so who would recommend it. Should I watch? I mean I'm in the UK, my viewing isn't going to up the ratings.

So any others I have missed that are must sees?

Dollhouse is... okay. It doesn't seem much like a Joss Whedon show, more a traditional action adventure with guns and fast motorbikes, and girls dancing in ultra-short skirts, and sweaty men stripped to the waist.

It's not nearly as bad as some people are saying, IMO, but I'm not sure I'd be watching it if I wasn't hoping that more of Joss's humour and Deep Significant Plots and subtext and so on would start creeping in. The second episode was much stronger than the first, so I do have hopes in that direction.

I've heard it picks up after episode 5 or 6, and becomes more like a Joss work. Of course if Joss is laying the groundwork at present, it may not have the depth he would usually show. I just hope it gets the chance, like Buffy did. TV seems to have changed so much now.

Will hope for the best!
