Tonight at 9p the Dexter we know, love and fear is back. He is going to his high school reunion in the season premiere on Showtime, and not everyone in his class will make it to their 30th reunion. In the next few episodes Dexter will be back to his killing ways and he will meet the older version of him and no one likes to see what they will become. After watching the first three episodes of the season, I think this is the best one yet. There is just something different about this season, I am not sure what it is but it works!
Eight years ago Nicholas Brody went missing Iraq and tonight on Showtime at 10p he returns to the Homeland as a hero to his family and his country. But not everyone thinks he is a hero, CIA agent Carrie Mathison thinks he has been turned and she will do anything to prove that he is now Al Qaeda even though no one believes her. Will she be able to prove that he is not the same man he was when he was captured nearly a decade ago? Can Brody adjust to being home again? Is it is homeland? How will his wife (Morena Baccarin) and their kids adjust to having him back? Tune into this spy thriller that shows nothing is it as it appears to be.
The new television season is upon us and that means that last season’s shows are coming out on DVD now even the ones on cable. With that we get to see the actors’ mistakes throughout the season and sometimes we get to see the show in a whole new light. Case in point Showtime’s The Borgais where we get the see the cast of the beautiful period drama have some fun screwing up in our time and theirs. Even when they make a stupid flub, their costumes and their accents make it seem like its a sophisticated error.
The new promo for the 6th season of Dexter is out and I believe it is going to be a good one! Whoever cut that preview at Showtime did a great job because I don’t watch the show (I know I should) and even I am excited for it.
But it is also because I want to see how Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter act together now they are divorced. Talk about awkward.
The Big C is back on Showtime tonight at 10:30p and you are not going to want to miss the best new dramedy of the year.
Cathy (played brilliantly by Laura Linney) has skin cancer, the bad kind, and she hasn’t told anyone about it including her estranged husband and teenage son. Knowing that she is knocking on heaven’s door, she is finding herself free to say and do whatever she wants to. Finally she shares the news with her old grumpy neighbor Marleen and the two forge a strange relationship. That is until Maureen, who suffers from Alzheimer’s kills herself. Even though she is dead, she will be back on the show for the second season.
One person Cathy has kept her secret is her homeless brother, who slept with her best friend and she is now pregnant with their love child. How long will she be able to keep her secret from them now that they are living across the street from her in her dead neighbor’s house?
Two people she is no longer keeping her news from is her husband and son and she is finally trying experimental treatment to beat the cancer. That is how the first season ends and where the second one picks up. How is the treatment affecting her and her family? There will be a lot of changes in store for all of them.
The Big C is a drama, but there are also plenty of laughs in between the tears. Unlike many shows this show is actually better than it was its first second. There is so much I want to share about the second season, but I want you to experience it as it happens as I did.
BTW if Laura Linney doesn’t get the Emmy nomination and the win for this role than the people who are voting are bigger idiots than I already think they are. She is so freaking perfect in this role, she deserves as many awards as possible for her performance on the show. And the show also deserves several awards because it is so real and yet enjoyable.
Seriously whether you have watched The Big C before or this will be your first time, you need to make sure it is a weekly commitment every Monday night at 10:30p on Showtime.
Showtime has brought us some of the sexiest shows ever based in the middle ages like The Tudors and The Borgais and now they are bringing us The Dark Ages. After watching the trailer that debuted on Funny or Die for their latest erotic series coming to Show(me)time, I desperately need a shower! When Robert Englund says, “take me”, it was just too much for me to handle. I can’t wait to watch this show with my remote control. If you know what I mean by remote control…
Seriously doesn’t it look like this will be their hottest soft core historical drama to date? Let’s just say The Dark Ages definitely lit my fire!!!
