Falling Skies
Seriously, who keeps giving these people money to make these TV shows?
Sure, ok, if I were a deaf, blind mute who had just been living in a cave in Nowherekistan and just returned to full cognitive ability recently, I might possibly enjoy this show.
But because I'm 38 years old and have been exposed to a fair amount of pop- and not so pop-culture in these last 38 years, like most people in the Western world, the show has absolutely no merit at all.
What's the point stomping over trodden ground, using the same story and same stereotypes and same shit over and over again?
This makes me hate reality TV shows even more. Because we're so starved for anything not so incredibly vile and lame, we praise mediocrity as if it's the second coming.
I am just so disappointed after United States of Tara - a rich, unusual, funny, and touching series.
