Almost Human (2013–2014)

Nice surprise

[6/10 · 27 November 2013]

I was highly sceptical to this TV-show. After all it's a difficult genre to succeed in. I'm not a fan of Karl Urban, nor am I a fan of Michael Ealy, so both of those two were big ? for me. But I was very surprised when not only had the show a really good setting in the future, but also Urban has up:ed his game a lot since I last saw him. I have to be honest about Michael Ealy, haven't seen much of him, but he's really decent.

As I said the setting done quite well, they've pulled of the future concept really good. The script is a bit cheesy, a bit "uuh" sometimes, but in general it is decent and does it's job. The show overall is exciting, and they've managed to introduce us to the season's story. However it's to early to say anything about that.

The main characters seem they're really good. It's nice to see Urban's character development and his relationship with his synthetic(robot) partner. Though beyond the two main characters I haven't really gotten to know anyone else. There's the stereotypical office douche, the pretty face but zero character woman and so on. Hopefully it'll evolve into something more.

As a fan of Fringe, which this show does remind me of, I'm very glad that this has been made. It also has received good reviews from most parts.

Suits (2011–2019)

Makes me want to be a lawyer

[8/10 · 3 July 2012]

Got to admit, at first I was skeptical to this TV-show. But after the first 6 episodes I love it. The characters are well written, interesting and they all work together really great. The relationship between all the characters is exciting and create a lot of drama. The main character is Mike Ross, great character. Patrick J Adams does a great job. Another main character is Harvey. Yes, just yes... Strong character that in the beginning seems to be an arrogant and smart lawyer, but now seems to be developing into something else.

What this show also does really good is the cases, most are really interesting and exciting. Not to mention the razor sharp dialogs. How this show presents lawyers makes me want to be a lawyer. Cool, smart, successful.. Can't honestly think of anything negative about this show. This show has a lot of potential, I really like it and considering some of my favorite TV-shows is Doctor Who, True Blood and Supernatural shows that this isn't exactly my genre. But I really like it never the less. hmm... writing this 1.25 AM... get to excited to sleep after watching this show :D
