Broadchurch, Forbrydelsen comparison

I watched it and immediately made an comparison to Forbrydelsen. I was a little bit right instead of one case per episode the whole season is about one case. The difference was that I could multitask while watching Broadchurch and boy I did that. 

With Forbrydelsen I had to focus because I don't know Danish. Though I almost thought it was German. But it couldn't be because I can understand German. So I read the subtitles and couldn't multitask inbetween. 

I have to say there is one season from Forbrydelsen that just resemble Broadchurch. I had my suspicion and it came through. Like in all 'crime de passion' it has to be someone close to the victim.

Perhaps I watch and read to much from the mystery/detective genre. I kinda get bored, seeing through the small details and connecting the dots. For all those who are relatively new to the genre it's okay to watch and deduct your way out of the mystery. 




ps. I only started watching Broadchurch because David Tennant has a role in it.

Switched at Birth

This week Switched at Birth was the usual drama. I don't see any new turns or sidestory. It was okay to watch but not brilliant. I think I will stick to this drama for awhile before deciding to drop it from my watch list. 

1. Deaf
2. Teens
3. Truth
4. Family

Don't call me discriminating cause I put deaf on number 1. The selling point of this series is deaf (and signing). Without it, it's like any other drama. I like the fact that they at least try to show how deaf people can function in the society and what kind of problems they have. The show has brought to my attention that their world doesn't differ as much as I thought. 

Suits (USA)

Can you remember Ally McBeal? The humorous series about lawyers. Suits is a bit like that but without the overacting and less jokes. It's kinda a combination between Ally McBeal and Scarlet Heart (步步驚心). The relationships in the palace are complicated and the underlying schemes behind each action doesn't make it easy. 

The leads whoever they are in Suits all have a different relationship with each other. I think it's because of the different chemistry in each relationship makes me continuing to watch season two.

1. Partnership

2. Power struggle

3. Friendship

4. Sarcasm

5. Truth

Television

It's midsummer season televison time which sucks. I used to had a weekly schedule for my daily shows. Everyday at least two American show and a couple of Asian drama. There is still a month left until the regular schedule starts again. And I can't wait for the new comedy Brooklyn nine-nine because after 30 Rock I just miss something.   

Luckly, all my asian drama have a regular schedule and runs just for a couple of weeks or months. Except for all the drama and series I'm also a sucker for anime. For some reason I barely cry watching non-anime but when I watch anime my tears just flows. Perhaps I don't use my mind when watching anime and let my emotion out of control. 

And for your information, I don't have cable or anything. I get everything from the web.
