Couch Potato

This summer I've been catching up to the TV series I didn't watch during the regular year.

Heroes: I know it's the third season. Season 1 was awesome, season 2 sucked and was cut off short due to the screenwriters' strike. I hadn't seen it because it comes the same time as DWtS, and DWtS is always a priority for me. Season 3 looks a bit better. I have seen 5 episodes so far and I'm lost, partly due to not remembering most of season 2. Many wtf moments so far. Looking forward to the rest.

Fringe: I have spoken about it before. It's the new series by JJ Abrahams. That is enough to make it good (okay, I didn't like Alias, I admit it, I stopped watching it in the middle of the first season). It's a freaky twist on the X Files, mixed with the LOST crazyness. And Joshua Jackson is in it. Anyway, the pilot episode was a little "ah, whatever", but once you keep going, it's addictive. I watched all 22 episodes in less than 2 weeks.

Dollhouse: Okay, this is a Joss Whedon series and I was very reluctant because of that. It's the guy who created Buffy - a really bad show based on a bad movie. I watched a few episodes (mute on) because of David Boreanaz who played Angel, then he got his own series, but the storylines sucked too. He's in Bones now, which I watch if I happen to catch it. Anyway, I watched one and a half episode of Dollhouse and I am hooked. Think "Total Recall" meets "The Matrix pod" (something I'd totally like to have in my head). Plus I like Eliza Dushku.

How do I fit all this in a schedule that already contains Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, LOST and the whole nine yards? Do I need to cancel my netflix? (please say no)

Desistimos de assistir Heroes. Muita enrolação. Deviam ter parado na primeira temporada.
