There have been two shows eating my brains this week. First off, I fell deepy and madly in love with Steven MOffat and Mark Gatiss' Sherlock. It was a dream of a tv show, good pace great action, much banter and totally enjoyable.
I don't like spoilers so I won't ruin things if you've not yet seen it but golly gosh, I was seriously excited and was thoroughly pleased with how things turned out. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman rocked my world with chemistry and good humour.
One tiny tiny whingette was that sometime's Sherlock was speaking so quickly I couldn't always catch all the dialogue. But I did like the way texts and thinking were displayed on the screen.
My other joy has been Breaking Bad. My chap and I are six episodes deep into the second season. I am amazed at the starkness of the show. It seems to waver on a very thin line between being too bleak and very very funny. I'm laughing at things that on paper sound impossible to laugh at. It also highlights some interesting issues. I don't doubt that this show isn't for everyone, I wouldn't recommend it to my mother. It's challenging but ultimately rewarding.
Keep Buggering on.

What to do...
Well rehearsals are now broken up for the summer and that means there is time to catch up on the TV that I've missed or postponed in the last few weeks because I've been too damned tired to watch most of it. So with that in mind we've already made a bit of a start on things with Breaking Bad. It's an incredible show to watch alternating between something that is very very bleak and being laugh out loud funny if you have a sick and twisted sense of humour.
In addition to that: we series linked the Silence which was shown on the BBC a couple of weeks ago, we're determined also to catch up on Misfits series one too as we were caught out by a technological malfunction when we first tried to watch it.
The big news is tonight though: Sherlock. Written by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat its a modern day retelling of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories and quite simply put I cannot wait. Two of my favourite writers colaborating on something delicious.
There's plenty to be getting on with especially when you look to the shelf and find that my copy of Mad Men seasons one and two have arrived and I'm chomping at the bit to get to grips with Don Draper et al.
I'm also fitting in True Blood as and when as my other half turns his nose up at this. I'm still watching the West Wing when I can as whilst the other half enjoys it, he enjoys an episode now and again whilst I like to inhale discs of it. My rewatch of American Gothic is progressing slowly too but I kind of want to savour it. I love the character Selina Kyle as much as I ever did.
