Person of Interest (2011)
Love this show!! Enough materials to renew another season
Love this show. The writing, the performance, the cast, everything. I watched it in 2018. I had a hunch that if I had watched it when it just came out, I wouldn't have enjoyed it that much. So much has happened since its release, and it is not diverging from the story line..... So, I think it is about time to have another season!
The Unit (2006)
The wives stopped me half way into the very first episode
I read the reviews and started the show. I liked the English show of "strike back", and was thinking this probably is the American version. I stopped every time when a wife character showed up. I resumed, hoping it is getting better. But half way through the very first episode, I gave up.
Don't get me wrong. I am a woman, and I work with veterans, men and women. I am friend of their spouses. I love them and I respect them. But the wife characters of this show are just awful!
24 (2001)
Good stories, flawed writing and some poor performance
"The wire", "The person of interest" and "The Americans" are my 10s. So 24 is a 5.
The stories are very interesting, and that is where the 5 points are won. But to stretch 24 episode each season, it makes me feel it is watered down. Also some of the characters are so flawed, both the writing and the performance.
I finished season 1 without skipping anything, but Teri and Kim annoyed me to my limit. I was happy to see Teri was killed at the end of the season 1. That is writers' issue to make them so.... On the other hand, the performances of these two characters are so poor. Multiple scenes when they are crying their hearts out, there is not a single drop of tears!
Three episodes into season 2, I started to skip any scene that has Kim in there. Her character is so unbelievably annoying and irrelevant. Skipping everything of her does not hurt the story line at all. A new addition of season 2 is Marie, whose performance is just bad especially after she is shot. OMG, who cast her? Sherry Palmer is another one. I am tolerating her because she is in the middle of the plot.......
All these make me wonder - do those writers of this show know any normal women in their lives or they are just hurt so badly by some women in their lives?
This Is Us (2016)
What happened to season 3?
I am usually a committed viewer, meaning I stick to a show till the last episode just to show my respect to the creators. But the season 3 of "this is us" pushes me too hard. I gave up. Seasons one and two are soapy, but in a innocent and tolerable way. Season 3 is something different.
