Color TV

Words can hardly express how much I love the production design of Grimm and Finch's mostly-plaid wardrobe in Person of Interest.



Grimm, for all that it's been slow to find its feet, has been beautifully designed from the outset. Here's a screenshot from this week's episode. The whole ep featured these same saturated red and turquoise tones, and it was so gorgeous that it almost overshadowed the much-improved plot line by Amy Berg.



(Obscure-ish TV joke: Detective Britten wouldn't know which reality he was in!)

And Finch's overcoat was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it in this week's Person of Interest. It played a role in the plot and everything! I worried about that coat when he took it off, and I was delighted to see that he was still wearing it in the last scene. I hope it makes another guest appearance!

I think Awake should have been designed as a twelve-episode series, period--and it would have been in the UK. But it's American TV, so it'll probably drag on past its sell-by date. For now, though, the pacing and unfolding of the arc is awfully good--and of course Lucius Malfoy is really not very hard on the eyes at all.

Portland alone wasn't enough to keep me interested in Leverage, but the combination of Portland (as Portland) and the fantasy/horror aspect (plus Silas Weir Mitchell, who is wonderful) has kept me looking forward to the next Grimm all season.

YES! Awake would have been PERFECT as a one series 13 episode (or whatever) arc. And Jason Isaacs... *sighs happily*

Silas Weir Mitchell is truly wonderful on Grimm. Excellent, excellent casting choice there!
