Veep: The Verdict

Imagine NBC's Parks and Recreation in a much much bigger environment. 

HBO's freshman comedy series VEEP revolves around, well, the veep or the vice president of the United States of America Selina Meyer which is played by  by the amazing Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

The show offers a straightforward comedy. It may not have tickled my funny bones at some moments but I surely burst out laughing on some. Obviously, the life of a vice president of a country can't be this funny and exciting. And I'm not sure if the real veep has an unbelievable desire to be the president.

The Newsroom: The Verdict

The Newsroom. The newest series from HBO which revolves around the people behind a fictional news network - ACN. The show centers on the  news anchor - Will McAvoy -  of the News Night.

As an added twist, the news being included/discussed in the show are real life news and the events on the lives of the characters are patterned and related on such news. 

For ten episodes, the audience were engulfed on these characters on how they struggle to face their personal and professional problems. To make the show less serious, the writer/creator - Aaron Sorkin - added some small yet effective humor which sometimes appeared as irrelevant and over the top. Despite all of these, The Newsroom was intellectually fulfilling and emotionally satisfying. The addition of relevant news and the inclusion of various perspectives of the "newsroom people" regarding a particular event are both riveting and fresh.

Community of Friends (Go On Pilot Episode Review)

Go On...

Friends' very own Matthew Perry returned to the peacock network to do another half-hour comedy. Since Friends ended in 2004, Perry (and the rest of the casts) have been tumblin' to have a decent work after the show's 10 year run. Anniston became the hugest hit among the ensemble, followed by Cox, Kudrow and Le Blanc who all got their respective comedy shows. And now, Matthew Perry, who plays Chandler Bing in the aforementioned sitcom, pursued and produced another one after the failed single run of his "comeback" show, Mr. Sunshine in ABC. 

Go On is about Ryan, a sports radio broadcaster, whose wife died in an accident and after a month of mourning, must attend to a group therapy session with delinquents and deranged people in order to have his spot in the booth again.

Three Bald Men (Breaking Bad 5x01 Live Free of Die Episode Review)

The Breaking Bad season five premiere proved why it's still THE BEST TV SERIES right now (and of the decade). 

Walter White - our antagonist slash protagonist - is now egotistical and as evil as ever. He gets everything he needs and will do anything to have it... now that he's the new King of the meth "underworld".

The pemiere started with a huge flash forward to the future. We saw Walt, with some hair and a bushy beard, celebrating his 52nd birthday alone in a diner. Then, we found out that he already changed his identity. - he  became Mr. Lambert from New Hampshire. He took a key from the man who sells guns (Jim Beaver from Supernatural!) for a car which contains a large automatic gun and ammo. Where was he heading? Why did he have to change his name? Did he lose? Well, we won't know the answer to that now. 

And then..... back to the present.

During the San Diego Comic Con 2012, Game of Thrones introduced 14 new characters for the HBO's acclaimed fantasy drama's third season.

As if the world of Westeros (including its outskirts and beyond the Wall) can't get enough of more characters to be in trouble with. Who among the characters can be considered as friends or foes? 

Some of the new actors are familiar (well, at least for me), and most of them are given the break of a lifetime.
