aragarnaPotential spoilers for the seasons that just ended.
NCIS: Last year at the same period I swore I was done with that show. Then I heard that Cote de Pablo was leaving and I wanted to see it. I found it meh. But I was curious to see the new girl (it had to be a girl, since appart from Abby the team is ALL men). And I actually like the new girl. She's not trying to be the new Ziva. She's refreshing. I also like Delilah and I'm glad the accident didn't mean the end of her (I was kinda afraid that was their way to get rid of her) and her disability was rather well handled. But well, rest of the show is still a lot fo meh. Then I heard they were doing a spin-off-launch-crossover thingy for NCIS New Orleans. New Orleans sounds appealing but that double episode was again full of meh. I'm tired of these old guys stories. I don't miss Mike Franks, please let him rest in peace. Then I heard they would do an hommage episode to Ralph Waite. I love that actor and Gibbs senior being my favorite character, I wanted to see what the show would do. Well, I'm sorry to say, it was a lot of meh. And seriously, why did they feel the need to bring back that Rivera guy?
So, now I'm going on record: I'm done with NCIS. Call me back when they'll announce its last season. Meh.
NCIS LA: I was finding that show actually more entertaining than its big brother lately. Well that was until this year. I LOVED the Kensi-Deeks relationship and they just ruined it! Last season's finale Deeks finally admitted his feelings and didn't they even kiss?! And now in this season's finale he says they're like brother and sister?! After all that PTSD and Afghanistan stuff?!
Still lighter and funnier that NCIS. But well, I'm unsure about it.
The Big Bang Theory: This season was better than the last two, even if I still regret they've turned the "geek show" into a "Friends 2.0". Interestingly enough, just like NCIS, I felt like it started going downhill went the ratings spiked. I guess people like Friends-like shows...
Castle: Castle remains Castle, but I felt like we got less crazy cases this year (granted there's just so many zombies, vampires or time machine stories you can get). I'm still baffled by the cliffhanger. Not as much by what happened than what didn't happen. An entire season revolving around the wedding, for that?!
The Good Wife: Now that's a GREAT and compelling show! I'm not particularly fannish about it, probably for lack of sincerely likable characters, but that show is just brilliant. It's well written and it got balls. I mean really, they knew Josh Charles was leaving and they spent the 14 previous episodes building storylines around his character just to make his departure more shocking. They rocked everyone's world on purpose. And that finale! So, are Cary and Diane going to team up now? While David Lee and Canning plot to conquer the world and lead it to its ruin and Alicia runs for DA?!
This show should be taught as the master of resetting things while moving forward.
Now I'm looking forward to Real Humans season 2 that just started on French TV, Orange is the New Black season 2 in June, the return of Falling Skies, and catching up on Person of Interest to be up to date with the US airing for next year. :-)
And I'm still looking for my next White Collar.
