Finally !!! The long wait is over. Tonight is the 3rd season premiere of
24. For a really good article and review .. read USA Today's Life Section.
http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/2003-10-27-24-review_x.htmIs it just me or FOX is coming up with a lot of good one hour drama series this season ? First, there was
The O.C. .. despite the presence of
Peter Gallagher, is actually really good. During its summer run, gained a lot of attention and viewers ... mainly because it is well made, nicely acted, and has a nice storyline.
Adam Brody is always watchable !
And then, there's the new
Jerry Brucheimer produced, complete with the glossy cinematography associated with his movies and other TV shows (e.g. CSI),
Skin. It's Romeo and Juliet inspired story line makes it easy to follow. The gal (daughter of the richest porn mogul) fall in love with the guy (son of the District Attorney, running for re-election). Both are virgins by the way .. well at least until the end of the premiere episode. The DA wants to bring down/use the porn mogul to his advantage for reelection. The twist ? The porn mogul and his wife are better parents and a better family than the DA (cheating on his wife) and his wife/family. And despite the porn industry set-up, the most skin you'll actually see were from the horny teens ... and even so, they are tamed compared to others.
And now,
24.
This line up is respectable and offers variety compared to
NBC's line up of police (four nights of Law and Order franchise .. enough already ! Sam Waterston is getting tired. I still love Chris Meloni though) and the fading E.R. or the
CBS' CSI, The Guardian or Without a Trace. Nakakasawa na !
