Suits
Suits is a legal drama from USA Network starring Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht. Suits follows college drop-out Mike Ross, who accidentally lands a job with one of New York’s best legal closers, Harvey Specter. They soon become a winning team with Mike’s raw talent and photographic memory, and Mike soon reminds Harvey of why he went into the field of law in the first place. (taken from here)
Oh another series that will probably fail. But this one is fun to watch. I’ve waited long for a new show and quite frankly I got a little annoyed by the cooking shows, real life tv shows etc. I mean is it so hard to produce a decent show with an interesting plot that doesn’t include a government agency, desperate housewives or another friends clone? Don’t get me wrong. Sometimes I like to watch that but there are just no alternatives anymore. Just junk food TV. I’m sick of it … I want a show to have at least a new twist on old topics. Then the constant product placement for the latest thing, like iPhones or the especially annoying type “Suits”. Since Marlboro has found a way to do product placement in series like Mad Man (or does anyone else wonder why we have this trend to film in the History (Midnight in Paris) ) nothing shocks me anymore. But “Suits”, really?
And as you would suspect the plot of “suits” is a lawyer company. A smartass (photographic memory) gets hired and his mentor tells him to buy a better suit. That joke never gets old in the series. But if you cut the bs, the show is at least a little bit fun to watch. I was surprised that no animals or vampires appear, because apparently that are the key success factors for the latest movies.
So here it is, a glimpse on what to expect:
By the way, I understand the need of attention, but why do all those series announcer scream at me?
And sorry for the post, but that had to come out.
Better Off Ted
Ted Crisp loves his job. He works for the team at Veridian Dynamics, where nothing is too far-fetched, or out of the ordinary. An average day for Ted could easily involve creating a suicidal turkey, for instance. The only problem is, Ted is ethical and the company is not. The show is being produced by 20th Century Fox Television and ABC Studios. (taken from here)
Here’s your treat. I just stumbled over that show and I think it’s great. It combines elements of Eureka (but in a present not futuristic Way) and Eli Stone (without the religion). You have the big bad company, the mean and cold blooded but in a way funny boss, the geeky scientists and the perfect son Ted who bases his consciousness sole on his little doughter. The Episodes are realy short and that’s the beauty.
The video is a Veridion Commercial 🙂
