I'm on episode 5 of Luther right now (links are all on tvduck) and I really like it, but one thing I'm disappointed about is the format. I figured from what I'd heard about it and from watching the first ep that Ruth Wilson's sociopath character was the main theme of the show, and it seemed like a really interesting story. But it's actually more like she's a thread running throughout the series, but the series itself is more about a new case every episode, which is just so run of the mill. That's how every cop or medical drama works nowadays. It could have been interesting to have something that would usually be the subject of a one-off drama as a full length series. Also, I don't really like Idris Elba that much. He irritates me, though he does get the character right.
I'm the same as you about GoT. I'm pretty disappointed in it - it isn't like I thought it would be from the first couple of eps.
House :( I have a feeling it will be coming to an end very soon. Better than it fizzling out badly, I guess. I just feel nostalgic for when it first came out over here. That was a good year for tv. Man, the last Harry Potter book hadn't even come out then... weird.
Lol, YES to that being The OC's tagline! And also yes to everything about Parks and Recs - totally not what I expected. From Tumblr, I got the impression that Ron Swanson was some beer-gutted couch potato who was lovably stupid, but that's not even slightly right. I love him!
