Dollhouse (2009)
Season 1 is slow moving and subtle, season 2 really shines.
Season 1 of this show is great. It's dark and it's powerful and it's unique and it's interesting, but it's pretty slow moving and you can find yourself wanting more. Then came the season 1 finale "Epitaph One", and my like of this show turned into obsession. Then came the AMAZING season 2. Every single episode in season 2 is a great one. In fact most episodes don't seem like they're from a TV show at all, they seem like short movies! The acting is phenomenal in season 2, and season 2 is just so freaking smart! Tell me the Chaucer stuff in "Belle Chose" wasn't brilliant, or the camera angles in that episode weren't extremely beautiful... the pair of episodes "The Public Eye" and "The Left Hand" are the most genius I've ever seen on TV! They are so edgy and provocative and kept me entertained the full way through. I can go on and on about how good season 2 is honestly! And Eliza man, Eliza!!! She holds her own with the other unbelievable actors in season 2 and even manages to outshine them on more than one occasion. Yeah she definitely proves that she is worthy of headlining her own show in season 2.
Bob's Burgers (2011)
Funny and fresh!
There used to be many quality cartoons on the air, now there are very few. It's been a while since an animated show has made me laugh out loud. "Bob's Burgers" is funny and new and fresh, and yet, reminds me of cartoons of yesteryear, before Seth Macfarlane had the monopoly on the market, and quality cartoons were a regular occurrence. I hope this show can continue, and starts a trend of new and original cartoons being produced.
My favourite episode so far has been the Capoeira one, so damn funny! "Ponytail! Ponytail! Brazil!" LOL. :)
If you're a fan of clever cartoons, especially the quality and cutting edge ones of yesteryear, check this show out. And here's to more original cartoons being put on the air.
