charliesmumTwo episodes into Torchwood and we've already seen a boy kiss a boy and a girl kiss a girl. Now that's, a show that knows how to entertain!
I watched the first series of this show called "Afterlife" and it was really good. We have a show here in the states called "The Ghost Whisperer" which is, frankly, stupid. It doesn't help they cancelled Joan of Arcadia for this thing, but it's totally treacly and silly, sort of "touched by an Angel" with ghosts.
Afterlife is completely the opposite. Very gritty and harsh in places, but still, ultimately, hopeful. I'm waiting quite impatiently to get my hands on the 2nd series.
Also watched "Randall and Hopkirk (deceased)" which was cute and funny and had Tom Baker in it. David Tennant and Hugh Laurie both guesto-starred as well, which is nice.
And Life on Mars is going to end after the 2nd series, apparently. Which is sad, but goes to show that the people at the Beeb (for the most part) know how NOT to drag concepts into the ground. *coughxfilescough*. Now if they'd just stop importing all those stupid reality shows I'd be content.
I'm sure I could think of more intelligent things to post about, but, well, I'm not. Oh well.
