The Hour ep 6

[shapinglight]

I just want to say thank you, The Hour, for not letting me down at last knockings. Even though...

spoilers behind cut



....I was a teeny bit disappointed (though not surprised) that Hector bottled it. But I don't mind, because before that I got a Freddie/Hector scene so slashy I couldn't have written it slashier myself, plus I pegged Clarence as the mole weeks ago (him or Lix, but more likely him) and am sad because Anton Lesser is just so good.

I'll hope for a second series, but if there isn't one, I can live with this being the end, bittersweet though it was.

Loved it, and hope to write a little more about it tomorrow.

Just watched this ep and it was fantastic.

I swear, so many of my favorites shows are British now. Doctor Who, The Hour, Downton Abbey -- so excellent!

And don't forget GoT. Okay, so it's not a Brit show, but considering almost every actor in it is Brit or Irish, it might as well be.

True, true. Brit TV's the best. ♥

Well, I dunno. You can't beat the very best of American TV (The Wire, Man Men etc), but we can still produce the odd gem here and there.

Oh, I was thinking what's on right now. Definitely agreed that The Wire is amazing, it's hard to beat the first few seasons of The West Wing, and Mad Men is a huge accomplishment and still on-going. But there's so much dreck. It's a bit disappointing.

Hmm, I'm trying to think of what other American TV shows currently airing that are really good. There's The Good Wife.

What else? *ponders*

The Good Wife is terrific, but now you say that I can't think of anything else either. ;)
