Snow Day Viewing

I had sort of planned to talk about the debates tonight - however, whenever I start to discuss them, I get myself all worked up.  Trump just makes my blood boil!  Anyway, due to the snow and while trying to save myself the stress, I'm choosing to talk about something more fun - television.  Thanks to the snow storm, I've gotten quite a lot of extra time to watch this week.  These are my top 5.

1. Suits:  I was so darn happy to have this back on my television this week.  The show could have been ridiculous thanks to a so-so premise, but each season it seems to get better and better.  I love the characters. I love the humor.  I love the stories.  I love everything about it. Not to mention, Harvey Specter is fairly dreamy : )

2. American Crime: Honestly, I tried to watch it last season but just couldn't get into it.  This year, I tried again, mostly because I'm a big Tim Hutton fan.  And I'm so glad I did.  It's just so, so good.  The one single storyline from different perspectives has been done before, but the chosen story this year - an attack on a boy at an elite private school - is too real to look away from.  It's scary in a way that could actually happen, which is what makes it so compelling. Also, every single actor is completely perfect in their role, particularly Felicity Huffman and Regina King. 

3. Legends of Tomorrow: It's good, but it's not as good as I want it to be.  I'm mostly watching because Rory from Doctor Who is the main character, and Jesus from Godspell is in it as well (Victor Garber.) Both are wonderful!  But time travel with the added confusion of comic book lore, completely loses me sometimes. Love the humor, though their time machine is nowhere near as cool as the TARDIS.

4. Face Off & Top Chef: I'm not a reality show fan, but I'm partial to crafty and food.  That's why these 2 are my favorites.  Both shows have really strong casts this year, and I'm completely torn as to who I want to win.  The creativity that all the contestants show always astounds me.  If all reality shows were this good, I'd watch a lot more of them!

5. Galavant: I was completely in love with this show last season and was very excited to see it get a second season.  Though since it came back after Christmas, it's been good but not as good as last year.  That is, until this week.  This week it was particularly hilarious.  From the healer Neo of the town of Sporin, to King Richard's new love, every line was perfect.  Unfortunately, it now only has one week left in the season.  Hopefully, we'll all get another surprise and get to see it again next season - fingers crossed!
