TRUE BLOOD - SEASON 2
USA: Various Directors, 2009 (Created by Alan Ball)Another highly enjoyable horror inspired season. I particularly liked the attempts in the script to delve deeper into the vampire lore at the heart of the show and the glimpses of wider 'vamp' society. However, despite being initially intriguing I felt Season 2's main narrative arc, revolving around the 'demonic' possession of Sookie's home town, veered too much toward the absurd and laughable rather than genuinely scary.
However, it's in my blood now (groan!) so onto Season 3!
Score: 8/10

30 ROCK - SEASON 1 (8/10)
USA: Various Directors, 2006-2007 (Created by Tina Fey)Despite my initial doubts regarding whether this hit US Show would suit my comedic tastes, I am now a bona-fide 30 ROCK fan. In each episode Tina Fey has created a short (and regular) but oh so sweet package of easy entertainment sprinkled with some fantastic wit. Having recently completed watching the first season, I am delighted to know that more laughs await me with the likes of Liz Lemon, Tracy Jordan, Kenneth Parcell. Jack Donaghy and Jenna Maroney. In fact these characters are so amusingly conveyed in such a playful way that I now consider them as friends and the perfect week-night accompaniment to my evening meal.
