What I'm Watching

the scorecard continues

'scandal'

the fastest freshest show on network tv. in it's sophmore season it holds up to it's much too abbreviated freshman run. the cast is terrific. the writing is crisp. and it's lead kerri washington is just great. and she wears clothes better than anyone on tv currently. sorry julianna. if you are not watching thhis show you are missing a high velocity drama.

obviously renewed.

season 2: A+

'the following'

kevin bacon heads the cast of this serial killer drama. he, natalie zea and the rest of the cast keeps us spellbound week after week as it tosses and turns through our minds. gruesome? who cares. it's that damn good.

it's been renewed.

season 1: A

'bates motel'

norma and norma. god help us all and anyone who visits this hotel. i won't check in but i am damn sure going to keep watching.

vera farmiga, i love this actress, and freddie highmore shine as the creepiest mother and son on tv. i'm loving it.

thankfully it's been renewed

season 1: b+

'Bates Motel Tonight on A&E

i like vera farmiga and think she is a fine actress. i was surprised to read she signed on to this series but will give it a try if only for her. i also thought freddie highmore showed potential in 'finding neverland' so the dvr will be set.

Vera Farmiga Joins 'Psycho' for AMC

the ever promising vera farmiga joins amc's 2013 series as norma bates mother of future serial rapist killer norman. accepting the role makes me believe this is more than a schlock rip off of a film classic. it will be titled 'bates motel'.
