Buffy the Vampire Slayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6wxUKY-YKQ Yep, my foavorite program, of which there
were 144 episodes over 7 seasons. The entire first episode is on youtube, as
seen here. This is the best show ever put on TV and it is about far more than a
young girl fighting vampires.
Firefly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0O29rZiIRA Another show from Joss Whedon, who created
Buffy. This one centers on a group of misfits who live in the future, where
science fiction blends with westerns. Weird, funny and brilliant, and it only
had one season.
Lost Girl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-b_g_qTLvQ Yet another fantasy program, about Bo, a
succubus (look it up). This is about the Fae and their world, and it introduces
you to perhaps the funniest sidekick in the history of television, the
irrepressible Kenzi (played by Ksenia Solo).
House, MD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iotn4dnbpuc1 Gregory House is a misanthrope. He hates
everyone and trusts no one. But he always gets it right, in the end, usually at
a cost…
The Bridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v9H-Rk0s4o Dark and twisted, but with great acting, it
is a story about a murder investigation involving both US and Mexican police.
Stand-out is Diane Kruger as Sonia, who is a woman without empathy- she is
literal and does not understand subtext, facial expressions, or other cues to
behavior.
Continuum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVUGQ1Kw1G0 A great science fiction program about a woman
sent back in time to prevent a terrorist attack. It twists and turns and goes
places you do not expect.
Lie to Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68DBbalPPAc Tim Roth plays a man who is an expert in
reading microexpressions, making it harder for them to get away with lying. But
he lacks social skills himself and is protected by his co-workers.
A little light watching for you! Enjoy the break.
