gwaevalarinGame of Thrones, Series 1 (9.5/10)
This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do a book adaptation. This show works perfectly as a show, and still stays true to the original storyline, the characters, and most importantly the vibe of the books. Whether you have read A Song of Ice and Fire or not, you should watch this show.
Prison Break, Series 3 (8/10)
I'm trying to remember why I stopped watching the show. I think I felt that season 3 was weak compared to seasons 1 and 2. Taken by itself, it is still pretty awesome, though, and now I need to get my hands on season 4 as soon as possible.
Primeval, Series 5 (6.5/10)
Even though I could never really get used to the changes when the show came back, I'm glad that it did get two more seasons. The original cliffhanger was horrible, and now Primeval has a proper ending with just a small cliffhanger that could lead to an interesting new storyline. It was nice to hear Connor mention Nick in the finale. I still kinda miss him.
Pilots
Falling Skies (4.5/10)
How many cliches can you have in a single pilot? The idea is nice, I guess, but this show needs to find a new angle on the whole alien invasion, apocalypse theme, or at least make its characters more interesting. So far? I don't care about anyone enough to hold my breath during a fight.
