Compulsion (2008)
Slow & cringy but still entertaining
I watched Compulsion a few years ago and having got the chance to watch it again last night I must admit my opinion on it has changed from the first time I watched it. What I remembered as being a brilliant thriller was actually very slow & cringy. I remembered it being sexy but this time round I found myself watching Ray Winston from behind a cushion.
The story did hold my attention and so I would recommend but just to warn anyone with a weak stomach you do see Ray Winston naked which ain't pretty. The story is far fetched but does give hope to over weight middle aged men.
Bates Motel (2013)
Freddie Highmore manages to make twisted look sexy
I was reluctant to watch this show as I didn't expect to enjoy it but I had nothing to worry about. This is one of the best programmes I have seen in a long time & I am patiently waiting for Season 3 to arrive through my letter box next week. The writer's have managed to make Norman & Norma strange but likable & I find myself hoping that their has been a mistake & that Norman will live happily ever after as despite his obvious issues on the surface he is a nice guy. I enjoy Norman's facial expressions as you know from one look that he's not a happy bunny. I also enjoy the unexpected humour & find myself laughing throughout. I would highly recommend this show - great writing brought to life by brilliant acting.
Revenge (2011)
Started great but ended badly
I enjoyed this show from the first episode but by the time it was canceled I couldn't wait for it to end. Once it was revealed that David was alive & that Emily was Amanda the show seemed to lose direction. It felt like the writer's had started to pick story lines from thin air regardless if they made sense or was relevant to the original plot. Although I rooted for Jack & Emily to be together I felt the last episode was rushed & the wedding/sailing off into the sunset was clichéd. I also disliked Emily by the end & was disappointed that she wasn't killed off. If you plan to watch the show stop after season 2 otherwise you will be left feeling like you have wasted time that you wont get back.
Scandal (2012)
Went from OK to great to bad
Slept through most of Season 1 as it did not hold my attention however once I'd got familiar with the characters & storyline by Season 2 I was hooked. I am now part way through Season 3 & have given up. Olivia's need to say everything loud & fast, Huck's constent whispering, Harrison convincing himself & everyone else they are Gladiators & Quinn's journey from nice lady to killer has all become irritating & unconvincing. The only thing keeping me watching was the chemistry between Olivia & Fitz however their on again off again relationship has become so repetitive that I have stopped caring. I will not invest anymore time in this show which is a shame as I do like Kerry Washington & Tony Goldwyn.
