Longmire, The Americans, Fallen Skies, all on right now, are all very well written and entertaining.
Major Crimes, Last Ship, Mad Men and on and on. It seems all the talent is now in television. A total inversion from past decades.
I’m not sure I’d call Falling Skies well written. It’s well executed, but man their stories are telegraphed. They really don’t do anything even a little bit outside normal cliched story telling on the show, they just slap good enough actors and directors into telling this generic story to make it work. But even that’s starting to wear out because they keep hitting the same generic beats over and over. If Pope has once again reverts to being “bad” to start next season only to once again be shown his “heart of gold” I’m done with the show.
