Bottom to Top.


Unforgettable


Such a trash tier show. Only made decent by the fact that the main lead actress is a smoking hot red head. Everything about it is so recycled, so retread, and I refuse to watch one more cop show where the main character has a perfect memory except that one thing that is most dear to her (It was called Monk, it was so much better, please be canceled soon)


The Secret Circle

Okay so this show was pretty forgettable (ironic given the last show) but it has one singular bright side that gives me hope. It has a villain. He burns down houses, kills people who are important, and then threatens to drown someone by making water appear in their lungs and nearly killing them as they choke out on the floor. This show is about magic, and I am going to start calling this guy He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named because this dude was baller and played his part really well. Also lots of random hot chicks. I shouldn't watch this, but I will just for You-Know-Who, dude is a chill killer.

New Girl

I expected this show not to be topped, but oops. Anyway New Girl made me laugh a lot. Like, every minute I was busting up laughing. This show is very epic in that it is just so funny. I don't think there is anything else that I can say. It is mindless, it will never be truly great I don't think, but I think that's okay with me. It is just laugh out loud funny and Zooey just nails her character well.

Revenge

Okay so Veronica Mars. This show is the spiritual successor of Veronica Mars to me. But completely more epic. And much more polished in every single regard.

This show kept getting better. It just kept getting better, and better. It kept building. And building. I have no idea if this is going to pan out. I have no idea if this is going to work. I really don't know. It is hard to support this good of an opening. But I love the main actress. I love how she is plotting, I love her smile which does not betray the evil she has planned. I know there will be twists, I know it is going to get dark, and I embrace it fully. She has been master planning this scenario for years now. Manipulating everyone for years to get everything in place. I don't think a background check and a slight nudge from the main villain (Veronica) is going to do much, but we'll see.

I rolled my eyes during previews for this, but I am completely sold on this show and hope it doesn't break my heart.

Plan to watch: The Fades

if I need others to rank let me know.

Revenge doesn't sound much like Veronica Mars from that description. I'll check it out though since I loved VM.

It has the mystery but it isn't being actively investigated, but done through flashbacks it seems.
