Yeah, I know what you mean! I like that about her and Georgie, you really get the sense that they are just normal girls instead of these rich famous celebrities who are trying to give that impression.

I haven't heard of Luther! *googles* It looks interesting. Although the nightmares sound terrifying. I'm still not sure how I feel about Game of Thrones in general - I get really excited about the new episodes, but spend the whole time really nervous about how it's going to be, and I'm just like...it still feels like I've only seen a tiny little piece of the big picture and it's so hard to make any sort of judgement, not just on whether or not I like it but on what kind of show it is in general. I think just because there are so many characters and so much history and so much TO it, you know? I'm enjoying it, but in a weird way.

It took me ages to realise Camelot was a series too, I'd assumed it was a movie. I'm not sure if my opinion is trustworthy on this one because of how I think the whole Arthurian legend thing is sort of boring in any format. Like, that might be why I'm not that taken with Camelot. But I also think the acting is kind of iffy (except for Eva, of course, who is perfect in every way) and the whole thing is just kind of...ehhh.

I don't think you should be too worried about House! It definitely has changed quite a bit, but I can understand why - they couldn't really keep things the same forever. But I just feel like the writing isn't as good as it used to be, and the writers are stuck for what to do, because they can't keep things the same and it doesn't work when they change things either. It seems like the actors are losing faith in it, too - Lisa Edelstein recently quit, and Robert Sean Leonard has said he doesn't enjoy it anymore, and the whole thing just makes me really sad. I mean, if they make another season without those two, I probably won't even watch because it just won't be the same.

Oh my god yes, the first two seasons of The O.C. were definitely the best. I just never watched season 4 beyond like, maybe the first episode, because as annoying as Marissa often was, it just wasn't the same without her. Also, Nothing like a good bromance and Peter Gallagher's eyebrows should be the show's tagline.

Parks and Rec is one of those shows that you just sort of don't get until you watch it. Like, I saw quotes and stuff on Tumblr and thought it looked funny, but when I read the synopsis I was like "...really?" because it just sounds like such an odd premise for a comedy show. And then the mockumentary format threw me off because I hadn't been expecting that either, and I never saw The Office so it was really new to me. But as it went on I just fell in love with it. It's just so clever and perfect and all of the things that are slightly odd about it end up working in its favour.
