This Is Us (2016)
A refreshing reality
I must admit, when I saw the title of this series I thought, here's another hokey drama. Then I watched the pilot and thought, there might be something here. And then I was hooked. The stories are real, as in today. There is no cushioning reality and making it all better. Problems aren't solved in 40 minutes of viewing. It touches on all the normal issues in life and it is raw at times. I write this after watching the mailman tear up about William. Many moments that make you take a step back and adjust your perceptions. There is no happily ever after, you just have to turn the corner and move on. I am hoping the writers can keep this up, I am hooked. Now where's the tissues...I'm gonna miss William.
Resurrection (2013)
Worth the wait...
Just watched the second episode, and things are starting to get dark. Love the image of the church being painted on the inside - reference to whitewash? Many symbolic gestures to foresee the future of where this all might go. First two episodes suck you in to think this will be a touchy cloying theme, but I can't wait to see what's next, I don't think it will be sweet and cute.
I have had enough of police dramas. I get the vampire stories. It's high time for some fresh and original science fiction/fantasy work. Hopefully it will be able to hold its own for quite a few episodes. The way the last episode left me hanging on two huge questions they are guaranteed to get me back - who or what if anything was in the coffin, will I see claw marks? By the looks on their face I will bet it's empty!
