Humans kind of tailed off for me towards the end. It went from sci-fi to some fantasy shit real fast. I understand the similarities between fantasy and sci-fi, but the dialogue got really stupid towards the end. Really cheesy. The "fantasy" part became the symbolism of that fucking tree and the flashbacks to it.
I expected this show to be about the Synths and how they were being used in modern society. I didn't want the background info to be that deep and confusing as they made it out to be. The Synths going to all-out war with the humans would've been a better storyline than that hobo kid trying to reunite them. It's not sci-fi, it's a kid and his Pokemon trying not to get found out by society.
I can't imagine what Season 2 could possibly be about unless they change the direction of the story. I can handle them being on the run all the time from the scientist/police but that's about it. The flashbacks to a tree and almost dying are just unnecessary.
I gave Ray Donovan a half-assed shot a few weeks back. It seemed OK for the first 15 minutes of the first episode I saw, but that's a good bit of episodes I'd need to catch up on and I don't have the time mixed in with other shows.
If you guys didn't watch The Brink, you seriously missed out on the best comedy of the year. It's Veep, but basically outside of the White House this time. Same dirty humor, lovable characters, etc., just added a few concurrent story arcs. It's good. And clever.
I had my eye on Blunt Talk for a few weeks now but haven't given it a shot yet. Early reviews said it was kind of shit.
Documentary Now: saw the first episode last week. Was pretty good and I'll give it another shot this week.
