Thunderbirds Are Go (2015)
YES yes, Milady!!! >>> THUNDERBIRDS ARE GOGO >>>
The new THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO is an excellent return. Yes International Rescue have morphed, no longer have strings and jockey around more than they used to. Yes on rare occasion the pacing and/or edits are a bit off. BUT more often than not the pacing is BANG ON! And the show has been getting better and better with each episode. Better, deeper characterisation, humanity, humour, wit and storytelling.
Characters = Excellent. Vehicles = Awesome. Story Telling = Just gets better & better. Parker = All the original Magic and more Grey Ninja! Virgil = Gotta love the Lumberjack shirt! Grandma = Brilliant You Cookie! Production = Excellent and improving all the time.
As an 'Avid Anderson' it is an enormous pleasure to see the THUNDERBIRDS are back with such vigour. In sometimes difficult, cynical, and depressing times, it is also great to see the ideas, outlook and invention of the 60's 'original' updated with such love, innovation and attention to detail. Rare, Brilliant, Classic Stuff!!!
Elementary (2012)
21st Century Sherlock Holmes Espress
Great show and excellent cast. Jonny Lee Miller is brilliant and Lucy Liu's Watson a well conceived conceit. Quirky chemistry and charm abound. Relocated from London to present day New York City.
Elementary is well written and delivers espresso plot twists in under *45 minutes. Low on violence, with bias on character. Aidan Quinn & Jon Michael Hill provide great supporting character.
Not for purists and not to be compared with the labyrinthine British offering, also excellent but a different hound.
QuickWiki: Sherlock Holmes is a fictional "consulting detective", originally British, whose abilities border on the fantastic. Holmes is famous for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise, an eidetic memory, and his use of forensic science skills to solve difficult cases.
