Man, sometimes I feel like throwing up my hands to the tv lot and huddle with my old Emergency, Jake and the Fatman and Simon and Simon DVDs!
Person of Interest just didn't grab me... I think they needed to hold onto more mystery
The initial concept of an internally tortured Bruce Wayne and his adviser/confidant/stalwart Alfred drew me. And Reese and Finch were prime candidates to fill those shoes. But the two men are so emotionally closed off, they're not reaching out to connect. It doesn't look promising in that hurt/comforting aspect. Sure, we have the angst, but there's gotta be some healing too, not necessarily hugging otherwise they're just two lonely islands in a storm. And I don't see myself sticking around to that even if the mystery improves.
Had no idea you watched Sons of Anarchy. It's a show that I feel like I should draw the curtains on and keep my remote handy when I watch it and yet, sort of weirdly addicted to.
Hm, I don't think I'm addicted to SOA as much as I was with Rescue Me or my secret shame Nip/Tuck. It's not something I would expect myself to be drawn to, but FX had a crazy marathon few months back in the summer and the episode 'Balm' where Gemma revealed what happened to her blew me away. And I loved what she said to Tara about going noman is the same as having no family, no roots. I've been trying to Netflix older episodes now.
SoA has the kind of dark and edgy draw like an evil lava lamp or an approaching train wreck. You can not look away and for me, trying to figure out why brings me back for more. And Jax is compelling although the rivalry with Clay was beginning to wear on me.
