Eureka (2006)
An Original SciFi show, what a concept?!
Finally a show with a fresh take on the SF genre! This show is wonderfully entertaining. Even though the "fish out of water" concept maybe a bit used, the relationships feel real. Yes, even the one between the sheriff and his daughter. I admit that at first I was afraid this relationship would drag the show down with the daughter constantly going from one dangerous scenario to another, but fortunately the writers have been sharp enough not to fall into that gimmick. It's quirky without being ridiculous, and the dialog is sharp without being condescending. SciFi, don't treat this one as rudely as you did Farscape! Don't hesitate to give a season two!
Freeway (1996)
Camp? This is just horrible farce!
Okay, I was ready to buy into an updated Little Red Riding Hood, even after they arrested her Mom for prostitution just outside their "home" and hauled away her step dad for sexually abusing her. So you would think Red this would be streetwise and clever because of this, not a stark raving lunatic who nearly kills a prison mate. Sure the scenes with Kiefer in the car are humorous, but that's all ruined when they turned him into a cartoon figure as well. They're excessive anger was needless and spoiled what should have been a clever movie. And what was up with the black detective getting turned on by Red's criminal past, and why was she now okay because she dated a brother from the 'hood???? I suggest follow the detour signs and avoid this piece of crap at all costs.
