Midseason Reviews Pt. 2

Banshee airs on Cinemax at 11PM

From the creator of True Blood comes a new action packed show fit for Cinemax. The series follows a con-artist just out of prison and hiding from a mobster named Rabbit. His first task is to find the love of his life, who has a new life and family. In the process he assumes the identity of the new sheriff in Banshee, PA after an unfortunate incident. But the man who really runs the town and the local slaughter house Kai Proctor may be worse than Rabbit. With any Alan Ball creation I always have to give it a few episodes before I decide but for now if you like sex, violence and bad people you'll like Banshee.


The Carrie Diaries airs on The CW at 8PM

This is a "prequel" to one of my favourite shows Sex in the City. This show airs on the CW which can't mean it's going to be good. I mean the only reason I even watch Arrow is because Stephen Amiel is effing hot and has his shirt off more than once. But I guess now that Gossip Girl the network needs a replacement; Carrie Bradshaw in the 80's. This is coming of age story follows 16 year old Carrie the virgin, who just lost her mother to cancer and keeping within the Sex and the City niche, Carrie narrates, has best friends who discuss boys and sex and is interested in the new kid at school.  She even gets a chance to intern in Manhattan which leads to her meeting a style editor at a fashion magazine. And where Carrie makes a new identity for her Manhattan self. There is a reason this is on the CW because it fits perfectly for it's demographic, which I am not.
