Midseason Review – Fridays

old-tv-set1It’s time to wrap up our look back at my thoughts on the new fall season’s slate of Friday shows.

8:00

Hawaii Five-0 – A fifth season of the show that doesn’t really impress, but doesn’t really disappoint.

Nothing new to say about this show at this point in its life.  It just keeps on keepin’ on.

9:00

Blue Bloods – The first family of the NYPD returns for a fifth season.

I wonder if the show will address any of the real life drama going on with the NYPD over the past few months.

Constantine – NBC gets in on the comic book adaptation game, making this show based on the Vertigo comic and not the 2005 film starring Keanu Reeves.

I think I lasted approximately 2 episodes before cutting bait.

Closing out the week with the shows returning this winter:

Helix – I recall very little about where this show left things off.  Things kicked off last week, so hopefully I can pick it back up.

Midseason Review – Fridays

old-tv-set1It’s time to wrap up our look back at my thoughts on the new fall season’s slate of Friday shows.

8:00

Hawaii Five-0 – The show is a huge hit overseas for CBS, so it gets relegated to Fridays where it won’t cause much damage here at home.

Maternity leave has kept Grace Park’s Kono separated from the rest of the team for most of the season, but she was recently reunited with the rest of the Five-0 team.

9:00

Blue Bloods – Year 4 of CBS’s dependable, if not spectacular, police procedural.

Honestly, I don’t know if I would bother watching this show if it aired any other night.

Closing out the week with the new shows debuting this winter:

Enlisted – The new comedy features three brothers who wind up in the same platoon in the army.  Early returns have been good.

Helix – Syfy’s latest series features an outbreak in a remote base and the CDC researchers sent to investigate.
