Dexter is back in the second season of the hit television show by the same name. Kills never looked so good, as they do on Blu-Ray.
Did Alice kill Jenny? Whether she is the actual murderess or not, Alice P. is heading to prison when The L Word comes to an end. This either means that Alice is responsible for Jenny Schecter’s death or she was framed for the crime. Either way, it’s been confirmed that Alice is headed to prison.
Actress Leisha Hailey has been signed on to star in a spinoff of The L Word. The spinoff is said to be Showtime’s answer to HBO’s Oz though it won’t be quite as harsh and will feature women in prison. This is definitely going to be different than The L Word. It’s iffy whether adorable Alice will be able to hack it in prison. Her only hope is going to be becoming someone big and scary’s bitch!

“I’m going to be depressed when she’s dead and gone.”
Those were my exact words prior to the second season of Showtime’s The Tudors. I absolutely love Natalie Dormer, who plays Anne Boleyn, on the show. She’s beautiful, sexy and is a great actress. Her chemistry with Jonathan Rhys Meyers explodes off the screen. Still, knowing my history, I knew that it was only a matter of time before Dormer’s character lost her head (literally), and we lost the most talented actress on the show. Sadly, that moment has come sooner rather than later.
The many tragic marriages of Henry VIII, King of England and member of the Tudor family, are as intriguing as the history of Henry himself. This is the man who took it upon himself to create his own religion, by splitting from the Catholic Church and forming the Church of England. This split rocked the world when it occurred and has helped to make Henry the most infamous, perhaps even hated, figure in the history of England’s royal crown.
While The Tudors does deviate quite a bit from history, there is enough truth to it to make the show historically based and extremely interesting. In order to truly appreciate The Tudors, you have to look past the historical aspect of this story. I find that people who are too anal about historical accuracy hate this show. Those who can separate the story from history tend to love it, myself included.

There are only a few television shows I refuse to miss for anything. One of those shows is Dexter. The show, which debuted on Showtime two years ago, is one of the best series I’ve ever watched. Dexter is one of Showtime’s most popular shows. That means I’m not alone in watching this somewhat obscure show. Considering that Dexter is a show about a serial killer, it is not surprising (though it might be a bit shocking) that it is such a popular show.
It’s always hit and miss with television shows (or movies) that are based on books. Dexter is most definitely a hit. Dexter Morgan is an appealing character because he’s made human. In fact, some may even view Dexter’s actions as virtuous. He’s a serial killer. He kills people. He does it for a reason. All of the people he kills are bad. They hurt other people, and yet, in some way, the human emotion allows us to both empathize with Dexter and still view his actions as wrong.
This just emphasizes the human obsession with serial killers. We, as humans, are taught that killing anyone, no matter the reason, is wrong. Of course, that hasn’t always been the way of the law. Not everyone believes that the justice system in America works. People who are guilty get off. People who aren’t are convicted. Back in the day, a guilty man (especially for something like murder) was killed without the chance of appeals or the option of life in prison. Our softness on prisoners has created more criminals. Dexter, a blood spatter expert with the Miami police, sees this and he is willing to take matters into his own hands. All of his victims are those who he knows are guilty of their crimes.
America’s favorite serial killer is coming to Blu-Ray. Check out our review of Dexter: The Complete First Season.
Just because a show doesn’t necessarily go the way you want it to, doesn’t mean that the show isn’t any good. I learned this when watching the first four episodes of Season Five of The L Word. I had tried to get into The L Word when it first premiered on Showtime. I had given up because, for whatever reason, I just couldn’t get into it. Since Showtime has exceptional shows I couldn’t imagine why I wouldn’t like The L-Word.
Of all people, my future mother-in-law, who is the straightest woman I know, swore by how great the show was. I decided to give it another try when Ashtyn was sent Season 4 to review. I ended up watching the show because I thought we could start doing recaps of most of the shows we watch on the network. It only took an episode before I was hooked. I felt like I was an outsider looking in at a culture I once believed I was a part of and the fact that there was a storyline about someone who identified as an FTM was intriguing. With the well developed characters, the captivating plotlines, and the friendships that held together the entire show what isn’t to like about The L Word?
I had caught up on the entire fourth season in 2-3 days and I just couldn’t get enough. You know you’ve become obsessed with a show when you start every sentence with ‘On The L Word’ or ‘I forgot to tell you…’ and your girlfriend replies, ‘is this about The L Word?’ That has been me for the past week. Little did I know that Showtime had sent us the first four episodes of The L Word’s fifth season! The moment I realized we had the episodes I was ready to watch them and boy did I get way more than I expected!
