Lying in bed with the cold-that-wouldn't-end (15 days now, though I only stayed home one day, but I've been coughing up a lung at work, and been sent home sick twice, hours before my shift would have normally ended - just great, at the beginning of a new job, in the training phase. Wanna bet I won't make it past the first year, when our contracts are up for renewal?) I'm watching Mad Dogs (yeah, I know, late to this particular party - can I just say it didn't look that appealing to me, from trailers and so on?)
My opinion so far (one ep into series two):
- enjoying it more than I thought
- but feel disturbed (a bit) by the extreme laddishness and even more so by the way the main female character is just this big, threatening mystery who ends up dead (though some genre sense of mine is tingling, saying that perhaps she'll turn up again, mysteriously alive, a season or two ahead - she seems too much of an unsolved mystery to just never appear again, no matter how dead she may seem)
- series' two female character is beginning to shape up in a similar way, I think? Just rename this show "Fear of Women" already, why don't you...
- what the fuck were they thinking dressing up and painting themselves like that for the big showdown? Did they think they could make the bad guys laugh themselves to death?
- Actually really enjoying Philip Glenister's body in this. Who'd a thunk? o.O
- Baxter's a bit of a shit, isn't he?
