Jape's 2010-2011 TV Show Reviews

This is the thread where I will review The pilots of all the new Fall shows including....

Boardwalk Empire
The Event
The increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret
Luther (when it comes to DVD in November as I don't have BBC America )
Nikita - *** 1/2
Hellcats - * 1/2
Terriers - ****


.... And more!

Stay Tuned!

I liked Luther. It starts out like good genre, which it is, but develops as the episodes move on, though not as much as I'd like. I think I mentioned it in the tv tab, if you want to take a look.

Also, this lady's in it, which I was very pleased about.


Ruth Wilson

I have added my star ratings for the pilots of Terriers, Hellcats and Nikita Reviews will cone later.

I'm surprised to see Nikita rated that highly. The trailers here make it look pretty generic and crappy. I might take a look.

It's not a masterpiece but the pilot was better than expected.

Lyndsy Fonseca is a horrible actress in it though. Hopefully her character becomes secondary in later episodes. I do however feel this will probably be a one season wonder.

The ratings were better than that of it's lead-in so who knows?

I must say I have never seen the original series with Peta Wilson or the movies though I am familiar with the story.

I'd only recommend the original film. That's not film snobbery or anything, it's just that it's the only good thing Nikita-related. Believe me, the one thing I don't think anyone round here would call me, is a film snob.
