“Coming this fall…”

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Hello,

Long time no updates :D Sorry about that, I’ve been busy, working away from home and a few “problem” people have been taking up a lot of my time of late, and therefore, I have not been able to update my blog much, but finally, I have a little time to do so.

I’ve just been searching some TV shows I watch, and thought I would add a little part about them, and when they are starting, as I cannot wait, and I hope some of you like the same, or can agree with me on some parts :D

Dexter

Well, season 2 of Dexter went out with a bang, I wont spoil it for those of you that are following it in the UK, as season 2 has not finished airing on FX yet, but I will add a little bit for those who do not know what Dexter is about.

Dexter Morgan, is a Miami Police Department blood splatter expert, who was adopted as a child into a family who has another kid, Debra Morgan, Harry (The father of this family) used to work for Miami Police Department, but died. Dexter has an uncontrollable urge, but its not drugs, or alcohol, no, its murder.

Living by the code of his dead foster father Harry, Dexter tails suspects that have got away from the justice they deserve, and once he finds they are guilty for sure, carries out his ritual of murder.

Season 1, is a setting the scene, whereas season 2 is more of a running away / covering up for Dexter. Season 3, is all about a mistake he makes when killing someone, who turns out to be innocent.

Season 3 is airing on showtime in late September, its well worth the watch, but make sure you see all of season 1 and 2 before starting 3, or you will be very lost.

Spooks: Code 9

Well, this actually started last night, and I have to say, I was quite impressed, its set in the year of 2013, a nuclear bomb has been detonated in London, and MI5 was wiped out, it follows a group of young recruits in field office 19 in Manchester trying to stop terrorist attacks.

I was quite impressed, but on the other hand, was a little disappointed. Spooks, the series its based off is very serious, and I thought that this show, rated at an 18, whereas spooks is 12, would be even more serious, but it was not. Its kind of a “The Last Train” meets “Torchwood”, very typical for the BBC.

Overall, well worth a watch, its on Sundays at 9PM, on BBC Three, or can be seen on BBC iPlayer: Episode 1 Episode 2

Heroes

Yes yes :D I know, everyone likes heroes, and those that don’t, are terrorists :D Haha, that’s been said to me, and by me so many times (PS: it is a joke just in case anyone was offended, hehe)

Well, what is there to say? Its absolutely great, originally dubbed as clone of The 4400, its outshone even that now, with more followers and an even greater storyline, spanning out not only over Heroes, but over time as well. With each “Hero” interlinking with each other in some way or another.

Well, Heroes premiered at the Comic Con awhile ago, those of you lucky enough to see it - fuck you :P Haha, those of us not, well, there is 10 minutes of it on YouTube. But it airs at the end of September, and I cannot wait.

Any other shows making a comeback that I should be watching?
