Women's Murder Club (2007)
The Only Good New Show This Season
I guess that could be read as a backhanded compliment given how many awful, dreadful shows premiered this season, but women's Murder Club is actually excellent.
It is well-written, with interesting and endearing characters and decent plots.
It's generally well-directed with almost none of the shaky-cam dreck that's making audiences flee network TV by the millions.
It's decently acted and you can tell that the producers are trying to actually make a good show, not sleepwalk through by using every cliché known to TV producers.
It's the only show I watch on ABC (which should give up its "Start Here" campaign, because that's exactly what I do. I watch Women's Murder Club and I go away.
Best of all. It's a fun watch not just for women!!
Battlestar Galactica (2004)
One of the Most Awful Shows on TV
The first thing that pops to mind when you start watching a Battlestar Galactica episode is "Why?" Why would anyone put such a bad show on the air? Why would anyone keep on paying to make such a bad show? Why would anyone want to make more after seeing the pilot? Why would anyone pay to make the pilot knowing that it would be awful and unwatchable.? Why keep the same producers on salary when they clearly don't know how to make a TV show? Why would SciFi keep hawking this dreadful show when it's clear it'll never have a big audience? Why would critics not be embarrassed to support a show that looks like it was shot with a camcorder? The questions keep popping up but they'll never be answered.
Battlestar Galactica is all about its marketing campaign, not about making a good show.
Just imagine if all that money had been spent trying to make a good show that all could be proud of....
