• I've been catching up on a lot of TV-shows during my spontaneous hiatus. I figured I'd post my comments on them a bit spread out, since it would be too much work to write it all up in one post. /lazy

Luther series 2
How can Idris Elba be this awesome? Just, how? Is he some kind of wizard, with awesome magical powers that he uses to make characters come to life?
Seriously, he just makes Luther so damn real. It makes this show a true nail-biter, edge of the seat, forget to breathe kind of viewing experience.
The role-playing dice killers were freaky. Really freaky. Luther's final stand against them in the back of that truck were terrifyingly tense. It was one of those forget-to-breathe moments... Have I mentioned that I love this show?

Sherlock series 2
That was heartbreaking. D:
I mean, it was awesome, too, obviously, but the ending! I knew that there's a third series in the works, so I knew Sherlock must have survived, but it was still heartbreaking. Everyone thinks Sherlock is dead! :(
...I really want to see the next series, like, right now.
I don't think there were any particular weak episode this series, in contrast with the first series. So that was awesome. We might only get three episodes at a time, but at least they were three great episodes. :)

The Fades series 1
adfsdkgfshkgd THIS SHOW.
I swear, this could be my favorite show ever if Doctor Who didn't exist, that's how much I love it. I think I even like it more than Buffy and The West Wing. So THAT is really saying something.
Of course, it's a bit early to tell yet, I'll have to re-evaluate in five years or so, but right now The Fades has scored the second place on my fave-show-list.
Even if the stupid show did go and kill Jay, in such an utterly shocking manner. I really hope Paul gets the ability to raise the dead at some point, because this series won't be the same without her. :(
Also, I really hope there is a next series. I will cry a lot if there isn't.
Mac/Anna. I ship it, obviously. It is an awesome ship. :D
Neil. Just, Neil. What the hell. >:(
I really hope that someone punches him in the face, next series.
Also I guess Paul kinda might have started the apocalypse, or something? I wasn't really expecting that. Usually, when The Chosen One goes up against the baddies in the final episode, everything tends to work out reasonably well. Not so much in this episode.
Also also, how awesome was that bit with the wings? This show is basically TV's gift to icon makers! :D
Paul's shocked reaction to everything that happened was just perfection. As was Mac's attempts to cheer his BFF up with comments about Anna. And then to end with the sky darkening like that.
Complete TV genius, that was.
I want five seasons and a movie! \o/
