What's your favorite new Fall 2013 TV show? (If fic exists, share your favorites!)
Sleepy Hollow and Agents of Shield. I’m also trying to watch Dracula, but I know the general story and I’m having a hard time getting engaged.
Why Sleepy Hollow? It’s funny and interesting. Mostly, what I love about the show is that it sets up the normal tropes and then destroys them in a single blow by having things happen like they might in real life.
Also Orlando Jones is a gift.
Why Agents of SHIELD: I dunno, I like it. I’m personally convinced that Melina May is an ex-Slayer and Skye’s like the secret lovechild of Wolverine or something. That’s another show that takes the piss out of the your usual TV tropes. If only it were to get a bit more interesting...
(I’m also watching Murdoch Mysteries, a Canadian mystery series set in 1890s Toronto. I hear you Americans can see it on Netflix while we Canadians are stuck watching it on the CBC website. It’s so far beyond tongue in cheek that I can’t even begin. If you like psuedo-historical crime shows, check it out.)
(I’m also watching the hell out of Elementary - it’s such an intelligent show. The opening monologue of this week’s episode (in the meeting) remains my favourite three minutes of television in the past year. Jonny Lee Miller is such a brilliant actor)
(ETA: Things I didn’t realize - Jonny Lee Miller was in Hackers and was married to Angelina Jolie forlike 20 seconds three years.)
