Game of Thrones: I'm remembering why I hated the books. Great characters, who never, ever, get to do anything interesting.
Chicago Code: I like this much, much more than I expected to. It's like The Shield lite. Fun characters, a worthwhile villain, drama without too much melodrama.
We (my partner and I) will watch anything that has cops catching bad guys, it seems, but this is probably my favourite of the procedurals. Castle, Mentalist, CSI and the like are just something for my eyes to look at while my brain does other things.
The Killing: It's a bit gruelling, and not always believable, which is bad for a show that's supposed to be gritty and believable. Engaging enough though. We tried watching the Danish version, but the first episode is shot-for-shot the same as the American one. It looked good, but it was too much like re-watching the same show.
Misfits: It's not bad! I LOVED the first few episodes, which were kind of like Ken Loach does X-Men. It got a bit Dr. Who for me towards the end though. Nathan's potty-mouth kept me hanging in there though.
