USA shows are my crack.

Political Animals: The show is half political RPF and half Kings consolation prize. If they don't tone down the Clinton allusions, viewers are going to need brain surgery for the trauma incurred from falling anvils. And between Dylan Baker, Sebastian Stan basically playing the exact same role, and President Hammond CLEARLY being written for Ian

I totally downloaded Political Animals just for Sebastian Stan. I've been looking at gifs of him from Kings - never watched the show when it was on - and have begun to wonder if I should download the series.

White Collar has become my newest and biggest show of the summer. I LOVE IT! Peter and Neal have a lot of love for each other. They've changed each other a lot. Most of the time we focus on what's happened to Neal, how he's taking less risks, really focusing on becoming a good person with a good life for himself, but Peter has changed just as much. He's learned to have fun with his job, and that not everything is as clean and clear cut as it used to be. They've dragged each other into that interesting grey area where anything is possible.

SO MUCH WHITE COLLAR LOVE!

Kings is very, very good. It's basically all biblical allegory, with some magical realism thrown in, and the character Sebastian plays is a carbon copy for TJ in Political Animals, except that TJ is out.

White Collar is a guilty pleasure. A while ago I just decided to stop questioning the plot holes and just enjoy the characters, and it's a great way to be! Because Peter, Neal and El are just so awesome.

Oh, KINGS. *sob*

And yes, I was verily annoyed by Peter's ridiculous dumbness. Verily. But all the other stuff made me happy. Ok, Mekhi doesn't make me happy, cause the character already seems a retread kinda of his TW: Miracle Day character, but it was only one ep. So, I shall TRY not to pre-judge. Mebbe.

Yeah, I got major TW vibes off of Mekhi's character, too, and I hope they dial it back. Peter circling the map and then KEEPING it was so much stupid that I was just floored. But I'm in it for the pretty! :)
