Well i guess cause we are now halfway through the summer season for Americans, winter for us Aussies. First off we have Breaking Bad, you should all by now be watching this show as it is a great tv show as it has drugs violence and in deep plot points, with the smallest things having several meanings. This series also used to have flash forwards at the start of each season except it has not happened this season yet but i am sure it will soon, it also is starting to get to the climax of the entire series as the plot points are starting to converge the main character Walt is running out ways to climb the drug ladder chain.
For a synopsis i have this "Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle) stars in this drama focused on a mid-life crisis gone bad for an underachieving high school chemistry teacher who becomes a drug dealer after he discovers that he has lung cancer. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to gain financial security for his family, Walter White joins forces with an old student, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), in a quest that follows their entry into a dangerous world of drugs and crime. Breaking Bad is produced by High Bridge Productions, Inc. and Gran Via Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television for AMC Television. Filming takes place in New Mexico.
Breaking Bad has won 7 major category Primetime Emmys. Most notably, Bryan Cranston has won for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama three times in a row from 2008 to 2010. Aaron Paul won for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama in 2010. The show has another 14 wins and 30 nominations"

Next we have Futurama again another series return they are 20 episodes into the series releasing them two 12 episode blocks they are starting to become like Simpsons where the classic episodes are constantly out shining the new ones. Still good show that is always funny with no plot direction in with your buddies at American dad and Family guy. not giving a synopsis with this one as well being in its 9th series it should not need to be explained.
Now we got Franklin and Bash, which can be best described as a parody of Law and Order. This is it's series premiere year and it is doubtful that it will be returning next year it is about two young lawyers who the past year have been their own firm doing 'Franklin and Bash' cases which are ones that no one in their right mind would take. As they are most probably are going to be guilty which means you will lose and not get a lovely commission's check for winning. They then get picked up by a big firm because of their unique style in court and how it could be good for winning the cases that require i little bit of underhanded dirty deeds. There is not much of a romance going on behind the main episode to episode plot besides Franklin's ex who he still has feelings for is working for the DA and is getting married soon, other than this not a lot of romance is happening there are some small things but they do not get as much light as they should. I recommend this show if your looking for a hit of light hearted comedy with a lawyer room background with a sitcom feel.
other shows that are airing at the moment are Topgear, Falling Skys, Little Dirty Liars and Torchwood. I have not seen falling skys yet it does look good, i am to 'mainly' to watch little dirty liars but i did watch the season premiere last year and if i had a girlfriend forcing me to watch it is not the worst thing in the world as it is well written. I have been watching Topgear and Torchwood both are great shows and originally from England of course Torchwood is now being filmed with big budget in america being showing in Australia American and UK all at the same time (thinks this is how tv should be). This reminds me that Dr who's second half of the series should be starting in two months or so which from comic con SD will be aired in Australia American and UK all at the same time or maybe one week delay which is great news.
I still have summer anime to talk about but this post is starting to get a little long so i may post more reviews latter. This is all i have time for at the moment i hope you enjoyed this slice of Kris and stay tuned for more reviews latter.
