The last of my fave art, appreciated in 2012.
SUSPENSE
Not a lot here, but as usual these shows had strong characters as well as intricate plots.
 |
| Solving crimes during WWII, English coastal town. Super cute quiet sleuth, and funny sidekick chick. |
 |
| Old mini-series--worth catching on Netflix if you've never seen it. About a guy passed over for promotion by his new Prime Minister, so he starts plotting against everyone between himself and the PM job. Very Richard III. |
 |
| Well, y'know... it's a classic. |
 |
| Can't watch anymore!! My fave French show about a bunch of crown prosecutors. |
|
|
COMEDY - Had the most success with this category!
 |
| Guy pretends to be a psychic, helps the cops. Very funny sidekick and bromance. |
 |
| Comedy, romance, action. What more do you want?? |
 |
| Being funny about being young and having cancer! He doesn't die at the end, if that helps. (It was based on the screenwriter's own experience.) |
 |
| The Hulk did not disappoint. When he gave someone a royal smackdown near the end, I had to rewatch it a few times. |
 |
Still loving this show. I love weird characters.

Witty 1930s setting! FUN.
|
 |
| Good re-watch. Even if Hannah is a drip. |
 |
| Find some of these on youtube, they're really funny. The relationship between Katz and his son is awesome. |
 |
| Full of story problems, but I loved it anyway. Especially their boss Lester (who I now picture when reading Pratchett's Patrician.) |
 |
| True story about a friendship-by-letters between a New Yorker and a London bookstore. Very witty. |
 |
| Always some Wodehouse. |
 |
| My best *find* this year. Pratchett!! |
 |
| Extremely Wodehousian writing. More than I've ever seen. |
 |
| Mortimer had the knack for Wodehousian similes. |
