On Second Thought

On Second Thought turned out to be just what I needed, a light read full of emotions. Performances were good so I recommend the audiobook. 

Salem Falls

Salem Falls is an engaging story, expertly told. However as it happened with Black Powder War (different writer, different genre) I stopped in the middle and gave a rather long break, more than the novel deserved. I have no idea why this happens.

Mad Max 2

Mad Max 2 now that is more like it. The director obviously got better funding and he made good with it. It is a good indicator of what is to come much much later in the future.

Mad Max well it turned out to be a film made by a director with good vision but not as much money. I liked it but not loved it. Mel Gibson looks and acts very good.

Doctors

Doctors turned out to be a Grey's Anatomy wanna be in a different way (opening with narration is the first hint) I like medical shows, it is a preference of mine but this one despite making me shed silent tears was just meh for me. Nothing even close to the show I like such as The Good Doctor or Romantic Doctor.

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad I have finally caught on this after 6 years it ended. I had watched the first two seasons upon recommendation and didn't really like them but got caught up in it when I restarted. The problem for me with this show I think is that it is neither here nor there as far as themes go. For example Sopranos, probably my favorite USA series of all time, gets a good idea and expands on it cleverly. Sons of Anarchy, another favorites is a Hamlet remake that is full of melodrama which appeals to me. Here we have a good idea and fantastic casting, but there are glaring plot holes - and I'm a viewer who usually does not seek for them, therefore not tend to notice them- and some dark comedy but it is also serious in some other parts. So despite really enjoying it, it still is not a fave.
