I just. I don't know. I can't think of anything to say. I'm sorry.
So, uh.. I've recently gotten into a few new TV series. I know you don't care about TV as much as I do, but I don't know. You might like them? And I really can't think of anything else to talk about.
The first one is Almost Human. Featuring Karl Urban, who you might or might not know as Leonard McCoy from the Star Trek aos. The reboot movies. I don't know if you've seen them. And Micheal Ealy, who I didn't recognize, but who is adorable and talented all the same. Apparently he's been on quite a ew Good Wife episodes (character's name is Derrick Bond) so mum might know him? Anyway.
It's set in 2058(?) where the evolving technology is making a lot of things easier for criminals, and to combat the climbing crime rate the police are all paired up with androids. The main character is John Kennex (Karl Urban), who was injured in an thingie with explosions and was in a coma for two years and then five years after the heist he goes back to the force. He's a bit of a loose case, having some anger management issues, ptsd and having lost his leg in the explosion (it's cool, he has a prosthetic leg now) and he doesn't really like the androids because they left his partner to die, because it was unlikely he would survive and they had other things to do. So after throwing one of the MXes (the standard police model) under a truck he gets assigned an older model, whose name is Dorian (Michael Ealy). They were part of a project called "the synthetic soul", meaning that they tried to program into the droids some kind of human empathy/feelings/idk, but being so close to humans made them unpredictable and some apparently went crazy and the were decommissioned. And now John and Dorian solve crimes in whatever city they are in. I'm not sure. Somewhere in the US.
Now, I love androids. All the androids. For me it is a great show, but I don't know if you like androids, so I can't really say if you'd like it. But it's just started, there's only 10 episodes so far (it airs on Mondays, btw), so if you like interesting crime shows and/or androids/futuristic stuff I would check that out.
The other show is called Men at Work. It's a pretty new show as well, it's on it's third season atm. It's a sitcom (20min episodes) and it has like 10 episodes/season, so it's pretty fast to catch up with. It tells about this group of four guys, who work at a magazine and do stupid shit together. It's pretty funny, I think. There's your typical nice guy, a pretty boy, a nerdy dude and this black dude who I think is the best of them. They're kinda archetype characters, but they do have their own little quirks. So yeah, if you want something funny and short, watch that.
Also, if you're looking for comedy, check out Russell Howard. He's this British bloke and he is hilarious. He has a few stand up shows (can be found on youtube), plus a show called Russell Howard's Good News, in which he takes news from that week and finds funny things in them (can also be found on youtube). It starts from way back 2005 or something (2013 being series 8), so I don't know if you wanna start with the newer ones or the older ones. I started from the beginning but then again I have an obsession. It's pretty popular, so I'm guessing there will be a series 9 sometime this year, but I don't know when it'll start. He's a bit... obscene sometimes and some of his humor is very Britain-centric, but if that doesn't bother you I really recommend him.
Umm, what else... I don't know. Sorry, my life is super boring.
Pie out.
P.S.
1. I like TV. Just maybe different TV than you. I've watched HIMYM and House both through at least three times. House probably four or five. Yes, I would have better things to do. Like study for all the stupid exams I should get out of the way.
ReplyDelete2. Speaking of TV, there is one simple thing I was once told that helps me remember if TV is spelled with capital letters or not. You may have heard it before.
God has only one capital letter, TV has two.
Just think about it.
3. Androids? You may be a bigger fan, but you're talking to a person who's dreaming of one day writing a dystopian novel. Also I'm fascinated about space. Doesn't necessarily say anything about androids, but androids are kinda part of the genre.
