H50 vs. NCIS:LA

So, there are two new/relatively new shows taking the bromance route: H50 and NCIS:LA. And honestly, I like NCIS:LA much better.

I mean, H50 has it all: action, humor, likable characters - but the show's just not really clicking for me, at least not yet. I don't care about Steve's sister - very unlikable actress, BTW - I don't care about his dating habits and I don't care about Danny's kid troubles. And the chemistry between Steve and Danny? I kinda just don't see it, not really, not yet.

In NCIS:LA, Sam and G clicked for me from the get-go. I think it's because LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell get along fabulously in RL and they don't mind pushing teh ghey. But even in a perfectly gen way, they're so incredibly protective of each other and you can really... feel it. Overall, I like the characters in this one better and the stories feel more... intimate.

I don't read fanfics in either fandom, but if I should choose between watching NCIS:LA or H50, I would definitely choose NCIS:LA.

( Synopsis... )

Review: I really liked the book. It was fast-paced and well-written and even though I can't really identify with Bella, I do find her character interesting. Just like all the Cullens. I'm usually a werewolf girl, but in this case, I do like the vampires more. I find them intriguing. I liked Jacob - until he tried to make Bella stay when Edward was in danger. Considering she was the only one who could have saved him, that was really, really selfish and wrong, to want to let someone die like that... And even though Bella and Edward's relationship is a bit too melodramatic for my taste, I like them well enough. A good book, really.

That sounds actually intriguing

Samuel L. Jackson is developing a show for the CW. And it sounds actually pretty cool:

“Hawkshaw” centers on a mysterious man in his 20s who doesn’t know his real identity — but believes that he’s either a descendent of Sherlock Holmes or is actually the literary sleuth. Hawkshaw’s psychiatrist thinks he suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder — but her sister, a young cop, soon discovers Hawkshaw’s British charm and powers of deduction can help her solve crimes. Both sisters soon find themselves drawn to him (and perhaps battling for his affection). Link

More power to Sherlock Holmes! I hope this gets picked up. So far, all the shows that the CW has in the works sound intriguing: a Holmes!show, an angel!show and a witch!show. Sounds like they are determined to move away from the GoGi hype.
