Sunday Night. TV’s Best Night.
Sunday has turned into my prime night for television. So many good series are cropping up as well as others returning strong. Leverage continues to be a modern take on the A-Team, which is just fun to watch. The characters are fun, the heists are entertaining, and it takes place in Boston, where I am currently living, but to the well trained eye you can see that Leverage is actually filmed in Portland, Oregon a city close to my heart.
After Leverage, I had Sherlock for a couple weeks. Sadly it only lasted three episodes, even though they were 90 minutes long each. Oh BBC how you tease me.
Next is AMC’s new drama Rubicon, about a national security think tank. It is very slow, but very rewarding. A very nice compliment to watching Leverage earlier in the evening. The tone of Rubicon is serious with twisted relationships after the death of a co-worker and the mysteries that soon come to surface. The cast is strong with James Badge Dale recently on the HBO miniseries The Pacific, not to mention it has Sledge Hammer. Even with the painfully slow pace at times, it is still well worth watching.
And to close the night I have Entourage. I have been watching this show for years and I love the inside peak in Hollywood. While fictional, I get a kick out of it.
Before you get on me, I haven’t started watching Mad Men or True Blood, so back off.
Back to TV Land.
