What I have been watching
Feb. 15th, 2025 07:33 pmA somewhat belated January-edition. This isn’t everything I watched, but not everything stays in my mind enough to warrant talking about.
I’m currently re-watching Grimm and find I like it better this time, even if I enjoyed it back then too. It’s not perfect, and it seems to me that the showrunner didn’t have a clear picture of some of the character arcs. Like poor Juliet’s. And Nick and Adelin’s relationship by the end always felt very weird to me. But I like all the characters. Monroe is the best side-kick ever, and I adore Rosalee so much! And with my love for morally grey characters, Sean renard is pretty much perfect. Of course it helps that I find Sasha Roiz very easy on the eyes.
I also love the premise of fairy tales creatures being real, and living along us, and I love the world building, though I feel the viewers were a bit short-changed. Perhaps because we didn’t get a full season. I’m a bit miffed that the key-plot with parts of a map slowly being revealed wasn’t used up, but suddenly they could guess whee the treasure was? And I still want to know what was so special with the Royals. It’s pretty clear they are different from ordinary humans, but how? Are they a kind of Wesen too? And are Grimms really a sub-species of Wesen as well. I wanna know!
Apparently a Grimm movie is planned, with some of the same characters, and if it is well received, there may be a new show. I imagine they may take up the ball a few years later, with all the children grown. I hope it will happen. I’d enjoy the Grimm fandom.
Also re-watching White Collar which is fun as I don’t remember a single episode when it comes to the plots. I remember the character’s well enough, as I always liked them, so it’s partly like watching a new show, even if I know all the people in it. My only beef is that I know too much about art to realize that Neil simply can’t make those perfect copies in his loft with such short time frames.
I’m currently watching the second season of The Night Agent. I liked the first season, but found the current season very slow in the beginning. A lot of chasing and shooting, but not much else. It feels they should have aimed for an 8 episode season, not a 10. But it’s growing on me, and I really like Noor. She’s a wonderful character, and I hope she makes it through.
I just finished Missing You and Fool Me Once, which are both adaptations from Harley Coben novels. I haven’t read him, so I’ve no idea how faithful the shows are to the books. But stars Richard Armitage who I low-key fancy, so that was nice. I liked Missing You best. True, the plot was basically two utterly improbable things accidentally overlapping, but the acting was solid throughout, and I really liked Rosalind Eleazar as Detective Inspector Kat Donovan. She was a great character, and I also liked the depiction of friendship in the show. I liked Fool Me Once less. Another improbable plot, but with a lot less likeable main character. Though Joanna Lumely is always fun. And Richard Armitage was nice to look at in both shows.
