So I havent really recovered from the post writer's strike new series opening, or latest eps all which seemed to hit the internet yday. Quick recap in order of hawtness :

1. Mad Men - Best new show of the year, I've talked about it enough but Series 2 Episode 7 was awesome. Especially Joan Holloway, who has her own twitter as well as tumblr tribute site, and her fight with 20 yr old Don Draper PA - Jane. Joan really does steal the show anytime she's near the screen, which is maybe why she is in very few scenes with Don Draper other than transitions.










2. True Blood
- Alan Ball of Six Feet Under has briliantly cast The Piano's Anna Paquin as a telepathic waitress interested in a vampire... who can now live in society due to the TrueBlood synethic blood being available - No need to feast on humans. First episode was soso yet still vgood, but 2nd ep we get some really vampire meets human action.












3 - Sons of Anarchy - Already posted on this but Drea from Sopranos, Peggy from Married with Children but unrecognisable... its a real ensemble piece of what goes on with bike gangs, meth, gun running and criminal enterprise. Like Underbelly minus the police.










4. Californication - Who knew where this awesome show would go once Hank got the grrl. Well as u'd expect the vasectomised boy soon gets into some misplaced muff diving trouble with Laurel Canyon hilarity ensuing and police lockedupness. Runcle goes on a coke and lobster binge after getting the masturbatory sack and thinks after being told by his dominatrix now agent to be a producer. His crackd out wife tells him "you have never had a creative thought in his life". So u get the idea Californication will spend the series with Hank breaking up, then making up.. with a little bit of writing and booty in between.










5. Dexter
- Episode 1 of Series 3 didnt introduce a big serial killer but we did get Jimmy Schmitts from LA Law. And this show knows what ingredients it requires and delivers. All good although I prefer Michael C Hall a bit more twisted, which I'm sure we'll see. Rather than the "beautiful" he experiences in this opening.

6. Entourage
- So crap, crap, crap. Vinny Chase has become his own Aquaman/Medellin characterture. There were only 2 good scenes : The Aquaman golf clubbn of agent car and Ari Gold rantin to staff about a film reviewer whose name he doesnt want to hear...... and the rest of show pitiful. Hopefully it was just a setup ep. But i think RIP Entourage; Now on my last to download of the new shows.

OK i'm off to clients to speak Facebook apps...
