State of Affairs (2014)
overview
i like this show despite its inherent weaknesses the writing is good. First off its way better than the crap Tea Leoni is doing on Madam Secretary, a single woman who is leading a show without the ever saving hubby in the background. The writing on this show is really good because it carries someone like Katherine Heigel a less than stellar actor. The rest of the characters need more development that would help to offset Heigel's weakness. We need to acknowledge progress here, a black female president I love her don't care what other critics are saying.....a female lead yeah okay she's white and a blond, we could have dropped some stereotypes but lets face it its America and capitalism we have to sell corporate advertising so let us give in to the stereotypical male fantasies here ... one more time.
How to Get Away with Murder (2014)
Davis is awesome, writing and plot not so good
Viola Davis is just awesome and brilliant. Totally think she rocks it as an actor. The writing is mediocre but worth watching because of Davis. I am hoping the writers upgrade story content and give the characters a little more emotional depth ....
I am not sure why American television sometimes seems to dummy down plot lines or characters. At this time slot really we can use a little more intellectual stimulation rather than the one or two dimensional characters they offer us. Also the plot lines I don't know seem rather contrived although if you suspend the stupid premises they are built upon, you can sit through it.
I am hoping the writers get it together as I have really enjoyed Davis' acting.
