Gossip Girl 5x22 - Raiders of the Lost Art

Honestly, I think it's time for this show to end, it doesn't make much sense for quite a while now. Yet I keep watching it because they pack it with secrets and you can't help but want to find out what they are. In this episode the latest big secret that was lurking around in the last few weeks has been revealed. There are still a few questions left waiting for an answer, though, which makes you want to watch the next episode. Or does it?

Hart of Dixie 1x20 - The Race and the Relationship

"You are like the girl of my dreams and the girl I made on my computer all rolled into one".

If I were to summerize this episode in one word I would say: disappointment. Not because of its quality, in fact, it was better than I expected but because pretty much every character was disappointed in someone, Zoe in George, Wade in Zoe, Tansy in Wade and I think we could add that Levon was disappointed in Zoe as well. I just hope that Zoe was disappointed in herself too, because if not then she is incredibly selfish and immature. 

TV Series

There are a book and a movie about which I plan to write entries but I can proceed in the book only quite slowly (not because it is bad but because it's not exactly a light reading) and I simply cannot get myself to continue watching the movie (yes, because it is bad). So in the meanwhile I thought I'd write about a few TV shows that I've been watching for a while, just started watching and/or planning to drop.

A Gifted Man

Another medical drama (though I don't know if I can call Hart of Dixie a drama...) This time the main character is a succesful neurosurgeon who lives in his money-oriented world until one day he bumps into the ghost of his ex-wife, which completly changes his life. I was searching for a new series to watch and after reading quite a lot of plot summaries, this was the only one that I found interesting. The poster helped too, I like its minimalism. So after 10 episodes I can say I'm not disappointed. At all. Actually, I think it turned out to be better than I'd expected it to be. The storyline is interesting, the characters are great and it's not predictable at all.

Hart of Dixie

A few days ago my sister called me telling that there was a tv show she was watching and that I had to watch it too. Being the obedient little sister that I am, I started watching it the next day. Actually I'd been meaning to check it out for a while since its title kept popping up on my screen during Gossip Girl and Ringer. So onto the opinion part: It is really good. (I think I should just watch something horrible and write about it here, because this starts to get boring.) Although the sory is not the most creative one it's far from being boring and the characters are lovable figures. Even the negative ones are not one-dimensional and with time, as more and more is shown of their lives, you can understand (at least some) of their actions. For some mysterious reason the series reminds me of Cougar Town. Even if it is not a sitcom and the story is different as well. I don't know, maybe it's the colours, the atmosphere or the music? I have yet to figure it out. Another series it reminds me of is Gilmore Girls. And for that I can give you a reason, too. It also sets in a small town with crazy festivals and crazy people. Except this small town is in Alabama, which means a different kind of crazy. Definitely a show to put on your to-watch list.

Sherlock

I think I don't have to introduce this series to most people. If I'm not wrong it is rather popular. I discovered it a pretty long time ago (relatively, the first season was aired in 2010) but only got around to watching it last week. Brief opinion: I love it. The stories are interesting and exciting, but I guess that's a given with Sherlock Homes stories.  What I also adore in this series is its music, editing and colouring.
