Brooklyn 99. YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS THIS SHOW.
( brief season one thoughts )
Total Divas. I'm just finishing season one, and I don't even know what to do with this show. It is ridiculous and often terribly scripted, but some of the divas are a delight. The Bella twins. Particularly Nikki and all her dirty jokes and her vast collection of sex toys. This show has made me love John Cena. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?! I am utterly, utterly charmed by Trinity (who is the diva Naomi). Nikki and Bryan Daniels (superstar Daniel Bryan), her twin sister's boyfriend/fiance/husband (depending on when you're watching) have such an adorable bromance. I watch this show and frantically text the Girl with ridic thoughts, and she finds it adorable. I love these silly characters so much. (Weirdness, the first four episodes of season two are on Hulu+ and season three, but not the rest of season two. That makes NO SENSE. And the WWE Network only has through the penultimate episode of the first season. Which is not helpful.)
Red Band Society. This show tries way too hard to tug on our heartstrings, which I don't like (who was that author always writing about teen cancer patients? McDaniels or something like that? I was never into her books either), but holy shit, I find the kids adorable and charming, and Octavia Spencer as Nurse Jackson is AMAZING AND WONDERFUL. I'm not such a fan of their completely unsubtle attempt at copying Clooney from E.R., not because I care about E.R., but because he's annoying. Whatever, adorable teens and their lives and their loves. I'll keep watching.
I tried Selfie, but couldn't get into the first two episodes and then I heard it was cancelled and gave up because if I did get attached, it would then be gone.
