White Collar: Season 1

Hey Guys,

after my parents told me every freaking day how good White Collar is i started to watch it. First of all yes it is not so bad. Neil Caffrey has his charm. But more than him i love the people around him and the relationship with him.

Nothing new, nothing surprising

So yes the story is not new and it is not really surprising. If you know a few series you know how this one works. But truth be told. We are not here to get an amazing complicated story. The story works because Neils charm works. It is fun and light and has a little drama. It is a good mix and of course it has a lot of good characters. Which makes the serie so much fun.

Great characters

The best characters are the suporting characters. We have the two main characters Peter and Neil. Neil has his partner Mozzie and Mozzie is a little special – in a good way. He is totally the one that brings the humor and states the obviouse. Many times he just states what we think. Peter has his wife Elizabeth. She is cool. She knows his husband and is the one that always is making him do the right thing and the best about her she totally know how Neil works. She loves him and his making sure that her husband in the end chooses to trust him or have a little faith in him.
Neil his a really good guy. Yes he is a thief and he will never stop to be one. But he doesn’t want to hurt people and he cares deeply for the people that comes close to him. He starts to care very fast for Peter. The only thing that is really annoying about Neil is Kate. Kate is his big love and when it is about her he doesn’t think straight. She uses him and he just can’t see it.
Peter is a good guy. But he has really big trust issues. He never trust Neil. In the first season he always asumes the worse of Neil even when Neil again and again proves him wrong but he never really trust him. What is not so bad if he not would call him his friend…you should at least have a little trust for a friend.

Watch it or not

From me it get a totally watch it. It is fun and actually it remainds me of Chuck. So if you like Chuck than you are totally right here. It has a few plotholes but Neils charm lets you forgot them. So lets start season two.

iZombie: Season 1

Hey Guys,

i really don’t know why my family and me started watching ‘iZombie’. I heart about the serie and thought that doesn’t sound like you had to see it. The story is nothing really specially and sound trashy. I doesn’t have anything about a good trashy show. Just say i had no intentations to look this serie. But like you see it ended very differently.

First Look

I didn’t had he hopes and apart for the story i didn’t know anything about it. Just that a court medicine is a zombie and eats the brain of the dead people and get their talents and memories. The last part is not quite correct but that were my information about this serie. Trashy… and it is like it seems. The story is really like this. She doesn’t get their memories she kinda gets flashbacks when something triggers it. Because of that her boss – who need like 5 minutes to find out that she is a zombie – is telling the police that she is like a medium/clairvoyant and she let the officer to solve crimes.
Still doesn’t have many arguments to look the serie. Since the original story was a comic they kinda tried to bring that in. The have like cheapers in the episode with a headline and a drawn picture. I am kinda annoyed be it. But hey maybe someone likes it.

The Actors…

What does the serie have why i still watching it and will be watching season 2? First Robert Buckley! I loved to see him again. His character is a little boring the perfect nice guy that tries to save everyone and always gets himself nearly killed. But it is good to see him in action. The reason we (and i mean my whole family with it) we didn’t stop watching was the main character. The character is played by Rose McIvoy and she does a great job. She brings a charm into the serie. She is cute and you kinda have to like her – at the start. I think my parents still like her. I on the other hand doesn’t like her very much in the end. She is still cute but she lives in her own world and doesn’t seems to know much about the real world and it is kinda annoying how the situation escaled through the season because she just doesn’t get it and is sooo passive. Really i have something about passive characters.
The reason i still watch is Ravi her boss – played by Rahul Kohli – is nerd cool. He is so sweet and good and i just love his whole character. I watch the show really mostly because of him.
But they serie has a few other actors how are worth a look. Bradley James is just one of the amazing cast. David Anders or Bex Taylor-Klaus are just the ones i really liked.

Reminding me…

The show is reminding me of ‘Chuck’. The charm of the serie is not so different. You just have to kinda like the nerdy, trashy serie. ‘I can Kung-Fu.’ – Chuck as Liv Moore in iZombie. It is fun. Really one episode is totally like ‘I know what you did last summer’ and it is fun to watch the people actually pointing this out.

Watching or not?

How really love a little nerdy stuff and a little trash. Is here in the right place. The story is nothing really great and it at some points you just want to slap everyone because they are so stupid but the characters have charm and aren’t flat. They are nice to watch and even when they are a little dump sometimes are so sweet that you want to know were this will end.
So for me it is totally a watching serie. It is something nice for the in between.

Like i said ‘I can Kung-Fu!’!
