key: brilliant, good, eh, shit

• Upstairs/Downstairs (season 1) -- eh/good
• Downton Abbey (season 1) -- brilliant
• The Pillars of the Earth -- good (Eddie Redmayne = A+++++++++++ FOREVER, THOUGH)
• Miranda (seasons 1 & 2) -- brilliant/good (takes socially awkward to new levels I can only dream to achieve; a bit silly, but quite fun; also, Gary = dreamy)
• Green Wing (season 1) -- brilliant! (hilarious & smart; also, Guy/Mac need their own spin-off show)
• Grandma's House (season 1) -- brilliant!
• Secret Diary of a Call Girl (season 2) -- good (stupidly enjoyable and fun, as usual)
• Southland (seasons 1-3) -- brilliant! (I can't articulate my love for this show)
• Friday Night Dinner (season 1) -- eh/good (seems too much like 'Grandma's House,' but still amusing)
• The Wire
  • season 1 -- brilliant! (I don't have enough words to describe how fantastic this show is)
  • season 2 -- brilliant -- (but I didn't have a strong connection with any of the new characters from this season, except for Russell. This season seemed more of a set-up for season 3, with a return to the Towers)
  • season 3 -- brilliant!! (FANTASTIC. NO WORDS. The scene on the roof with Avon and Stringer was incredible, but that's just one fantastic scene out of several from this season)
