Vampires are creatures that are lately becoming seriously popular whenever we go to the cinema or turn TV on. Something in sucking blood and being immortal secretly attracts people. True Blood is another TV show trying to get a piece of this vampirish cake. After first season, it tastes damn good.
What is obviously different in this show, is a vision of the society living together with vampires. Media knows about them, government respects them and generally, they’re being treated pretty normal (but yeah, they’re also racists).
This vision is pretty scary and I frankly can’t imagine being together in one room with a person who can suck my blood whenever it gets hungry. But show dealt with it greatly, and the idea itself deserves a thumbs up.

Have you ever imagined, how it is to trace almost every single minute of a day during whom terorrists are realizing their evil plans to destroy USA? Directors of 24 did. In this show, every episode takes 40 minutes (so it basically gives characters 20 minutes of personal time) and every season takes 24 episodes. Entire day. Awesome.
What has to be mentioned, that in 24, there are superheroes. Don’t know about the others, but resolutely Jack Bauer is one. He is the only man who can die at least once during an hour, save his country twice as more often and don’t even say one little fuck during all these events (God, I hope he’s using this 20 minutes to pee and all that kind of needs!).
I don’t know how about you, but I’d shit my pants if I had to do all he does. As mentioned, this guy is a hero. I’m also truly convinced there are other superheroes on this show, they just didn’t have chance to die enough times yet!

Stories of a crazy doctor from Princeton-Plainsboro hospital are being followed by millions of people. What definitely attracts us mostly to the screens while House is on, is probably personality and acting of a main, title character – Hugh Laurie is a perfect man to this job, what he confirms even more in season 5.
I have finished watching 24th episode of 5th season like one hour ago. After that, I’m saying with complete sobriety – last minutes of season finale were the best moment of this show, and entire season is… an awesome one.
