Supernatural

              I am one of those people that find is difficult to just sit and watch television.  No matter what is on, it is rare when I am not doing something else at the same time.  That is not the case with Supernatural.  I have to sit and watch.  When I try and do something else, I usually find myself drifting to the show and not what I am doing.  This is very frustrating, but I have to watch Dean!
                My brother suggested this show to me awhile back, but it was my friend Jen who really pushed me to start watching.  Now, I have this thing where I do not like to start in the middle of a series.  Books I am most strict on this, but I figured I should start at the beginning with this show as well.  I began to get the series through the mail, and even though I have only seen four discs of the first season, I am hooked.  Being honest, I will say I was not sure how I felt about the series after the first DVD.  I did not really warm up to the characters, but that all changed with the second disc.  That is where the personalities and humor began coming out.  Now there is not any turning back.
                The main characters are Sam and Dean.  They are two brothers who hunt supernatural entities as they look for their missing father.  Their mother was killed mysteriously when Dean was a young child and Sam a baby.  They spent their lives traveling with their father until they went their separate ways as adults.  Sam goes to school and Dean continues in the family “business”.  After their father disappears, Dean comes to get Sam.  Sam is not overjoyed with the thought of returning to his old life, but after his girlfriend is killed in the same way as his mother, he changes his mind.
                I will admit I like Dean a lot more than Sam.  As I said before, when Dean is on screen, I have to watch him.  He is funny and has great one liners.  Plus I like how there is such intensity hidden behind his laid back attitude.  It makes him really interesting.  So yes, I am crazy about Dean.  This is not to say Sam is bad.  He is nice.  At moments he has some funny lines as well.  Plus he is imperative in conquering the beings they fight.  What they do is definitely a team effort.
                Seeing as I just returned the fourth disc, I have to wait a bit for the next.  This is my own doing.  I spread them out and get other movies and shows in between.  I do not want to ruin all my fun right away.  So I will enjoy the other things I watch, and wait anxiously for Supernatural to come again.

The Doctor Blake Mysteries

                Finally!   It took a while, but I have now seen the fifth and final season of The Doctor Blake Mysteries .   I am sad to see the show end, but I think it ended on a good note.                 Dr. Lucien Blake (Craig McLachlan) and Jean Beazley (Nadine Garner) are engaged!   After running into conflict after conflict, and problem after problem, Dr. Blake and Jean are finally together.   There is just one little problem.   Lucien is still married.   His wife, Mei Lin (Ling-Hsueh Tang), has agreed to a divorce, but the law is getting in the way.   There are very few instances in which a divorce will be granted, and all will cast either one or both Mei Lin and Dr. Blake in a bad light.   Neither Lucien nor Jean will let Mei Lin be the guilty party in the divorce.   Lucien wants to take the blame instead, but Jean warns him there could be severe repercussions if he does.                                           The thing is, Jean will have repercussions of her

Blue Murder

Image provided by Acorn DVD.             I almost stopped watching Blue Murder after the first episode.   That would have been a mistake.   Had I stopped after the first episode, I would have missed out on a really great series.   I’m glad I trusted my instincts that maybe the first episode was overdone, as so often happens with new shows.   It’s also good that I went with my usual practice of at least going through the first season of episodes before truly deciding on a series.   So many bumps that happen in the first episode can be figured out by then, which is what happened here. Image provided by Acorn DVD.                 DCI Janine Lewis (Caroline Quentin) definitely has her plate full.   She’s raising three kids, is pregnant with a fourth, and has a cheating husband.   And that is just her home life.   At work Janine has been recently promoted, she has an extremely cranky boss, manages a rambunctious group of men (including an old love interest), and has murder

The Brokenwood Mysteries

Image
Image provided by Acorn TV.                Every year I eagerly await the new episodes of Brokenwood (as I call it) to come out.   That’s why it is so strange to think I have only watched five seasons and a total of twenty episodes.   I would think I would have watched more.   Every time I finish with a season, I find myself greatly looking forward to the next episodes to come.   Maybe that’s why it feels I have watched more than I actually have.                 The police force in Brokenwood can never get away from murder.   Even on their days off, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea), Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), and Detective Constable Sam Breen (Nic Sampson) get wrapped up in a murder.                 Always having a murder to investigate is why Kristin has such a hard time getting together with her love interest, Kahu (Rawiri Jobe).   She is always either called away or too tired to do something.   This is not the problem for Breen, though.
