[August] What are you watching?

Catching up on Breaking Bad. At Season 4 now. I thought Season 2 and 3 were great, though the first episode for Season 4 left me unsatisfied. I guess it's the cliffhanger thing, and you expect more consequences from the actions of the dynamic duo.

Also watching Spice and Wolf, which is quite an interesting little low-magic/low-combat fantasy anime.

There's been a bunch of new shows that have been launched recently in Germany:

- The Prisoner, which didn't really grab me but is interesting enough that I keep watching

- Blue Bloods, which is okay but apparently utterly predictable and cookie-cutter, so if there's no notable change in the next three episodes (they're shown three at a time), I'll pass.
I guess, I was hoping for something more in the vain of the 'Jesse Stone' show which I enjoyed a lot.

- Being Human, which showed some promise after the first episode, but it's too early to tell, yet.

This week: Chopped, Iron Chef America, Destination Truth, a film Ken Russell shot for the BBC about the life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Jinrui wa Suitaishimashita, aka Humanity Has Declined (a surreal satiric SF anime).

Is this the original series starring Patrick McGoohan, or the recent miniseries remake? (I loved the former, but hated the latter.)

It's the remake.
I was interested in the remake because I'd started watching the original show, but missed several episodes - including the final one

However, the remake is ... different, so I guess I'll have to wait for a repeat of the original.

This weekend I also watched 'Torchwood: Miracle Day' which, to my surprise (*), I rather enjoyed.

*: The previous seasons didn't really convince me.
