Back to Supernatural

Has it ever happened to you to come back to the old TV series which you used to watch some time ago?

I had such an experience.

I took up watching Supernatural 11 years ago … I was fond of that theme and two handsome brothers made this topic even more attractive to me. While my sympathy hesitated between two brothers (Dean and Sam Winchesters), both of them were fighting against supernatural creatures, ghost, demons and other evil. They were brought up by a father who was such a hunter himself. John Winchester became the hunter after one demon killed his wife Mary, the mother of Dean and Sam. Therefore brothers had no opportunity to have normal life Sam tried it though.

At first I noticed the same ideas like in X-files. I found it funny, nevertheless I kept following the TV series. I was rewarded because the imagination of the screenwriters sharply increased as well as the amount of viewers.

I was side by side with Winchester in their fight against all evil long 7 years, when I realized that I couldn't take it anymore. Do not get me wrong, I wanted to see them beating all demons, but after fifth year everything started happening in a circle. More precisely, the plot got stuck. It was evolving 5 years in a row and in 6^th year it came to a standstill. I hoped 7^th season to be the last one and did my best to watch it though to find out the end.

Just imagine my disappointment when on last minute of last episode I realized that it would be continued. I stopped watching it.

4 years passed ..

One day I turned my TV on and I saw familiar faces! Dead and Sam, who were looking as I last time saw them, were still chasing and killing all evil in the world. I already thought that it was ended. Well, I decided to watch the last episode of the last 11^th season (it isn't the final season) and it was like I was watching a new TV series with the same actors and familiar plot. It felt weird. 

Just imagine: all 11 years they have been at war with all evil! As I said it seemed that time have not touched them, in both ways - the appearance and the plot. However the scale of events have grown (even God is there already).

It is going to sound crazy, nonetheless  I want to take it up again and I will look it in the reverse order to make it more complex.

Hopefully, I will watch it till the end!

Columbo + Sherlock Holmes = Patrick Jane ?

There are a lot of detective series in the world, however, just a few of them are truly remarkable. What does make them be so? Perhaps, complex criminal narratives, bewildering turns of events, but first of all, it is a main character, the detective, the one, who solves all mysteries.

To make up this character is not an easy task. This man should be an engrossing, absorbing one and no doubt very memorable.

When it comes to famous detectives, I immediately recall Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. They are so well-known, that there is no need to introduce both of them. Personally, lieutenant Columbo is my third favorite detective. This character is remarkable indeed. At first you notice just his sloppy appearance and a bit silly face, after - his liking for talking about his wife and then Bam! - he solved a crime. It turned out that all his stupid questions had a cause. Despite a lasting impression of a fool man, he has keen mind, meticulous and scrupulous approach in all his investigations.

I am of opinion that Patrick Jane (“The Mentalist”) is very close to Columbo character. Needless to say, that Mr. Jane has completely different background, nevertheless his methods, appearance and tendency to prevent being silly are referred us to the famous lieutenant. However, Mr Jane is not a police officer and due to his character he tends to act beyond the law by time to time. Moreover, he likes to provoke people rudely to make them show their true faces. These and a few other features are similar to Sherlock Holmes.

Anyway, Patrick Jane is very memorable character, who you like to observe and sympathize with.

Unfortunately, all seasons of “The Mentalist” released. On the other hand, if you have never watched this series, go ahead. 7 seasons are await you.

It is worth of watching.

In the Middle

Have you ever wanted to make an about-turn, forget about your daily problem and focus on someone else's troubles? I bet you wanted! Perhaps, it is one of the best ways to bestir yourself!

It might go even better if you can watch all this on your TV sitting at your cozy sofa at home with your favorite snack. Then you need just one – turn on TV to watch “In the middle”.

Frankly, I took up this TV series to fill the silence gap doing my household chores. But after some time I started sympathize with Franky, main female character, who is coping with everyday routine, getting by on little money, trying with her husband to bring up three their kids. I developed my liking for this series so far. They all face up with concerns which you faced some time ago. Every character seems very familiar and close, whereas they are so different.

The cast are doing a great job. 

By the way, if you were watching the Scrubs one day, you might want to start watching ''In the middle”, because one of the main actors from that TV series turned out here.

To make it short, “In the middle” is nice and kind TV series to watch.
