You would not believe how relieved I am that reality tv is finally dying down. This means that America can stop rotting their minds and simply enjoy well told stories. Two of which I have started watching recently.
Heroes
This is an interesting show, not the fantasy about people with super powers that you would think, its more involved, complicated, and more than a little dark. Such as the stripper mom with the genius boy. She seems to be really tough, a killer, literally. The catch? She only seems to be this amazing fighter, when she is channelling her dark split personality. A painter who can paint the future, but only when high on heroine. An indestructable cheerleader who’s stepfather is the main bad guy. A fllier with depression issues and the first super? A psychotic killer who seems to enjoy brains. They get all of this baggage while trying to stop the destruction of New York in 5 weeks.
Jericho
Speaking of the apocalypse, it has occurred in America in this new show. At least 5 or more nukes seem to have hit the US, but not much is known in the little town of Jericho, where people are trying to figure things out, and learning more and more.
So, thank you networks for finally showing some good stories (of course ther is lost and battlestar) and I am sure that the American audience will force them into cancelation soon in order to watch another reality tv dancing show. Bastards.
