Some of my posts -- the more tightly-focused ones -- write in a day or two. These "year in review" posts take a few weeks to write, and a week to edit and proof -- and on this one, just as I was about to post, I suddenly thought, "Shoot, I forgot Penny Dreadful!" I know you and I (politely) disagree about the hammy villains. For me, it's not just the hamminess -- it's that no one else is playing in that style. In the old Batman TV series, everyone was in on the joke -- but when everyone is playing it straight, and the villains alone are camping it up, that's when the clash of styles bothers me. As noted, I know I'm in the minority! Glad to hear you were a Zoo lover -- yup, as you said, sometimes you've had your fill of "brainy" television, and you just watch to see animals attack. I liked the show from the get-go, but found it unremarkable, but enjoyed it more and more as it went along, as the characters were fleshed out, and the actors got more comfortable. Glad it's been picked up.Tommy Kraskerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564935526936828636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768495027896028196.post-6608370236699088662016-01-06T09:34:38.091-05:002016-01-06T09:34:38.091-05:00Blimey! Another huge piece! How long do these take...Blimey! Another huge piece! How long do these take you? I agree with much though I though Ray Donovan's third season was great and I like the corny villains in Flash and Arrow. Zoo was my guilty pleasure too. All TV can't be clever and sophisticated - sometimes you just need to see Billy Burke chased by animals.Child of the 70shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045667514712502457noreply@blogger.com
