meteordustI'm not just way behind on these entries, but also way behind on TV - these shows all have second seasons I haven't finished or, in some cases, even started yet.
Legend of Korra (Season 1)
I love Republic City. I love Korra the hot-tempered teenage action hero. I love Lin Bei Fong who will not put up with your nonsense. I do not love the shipping. I love the moments of "whoa did that just happen on a kids' show?" I love that we get to experience more of this world.
Elementary (Season 1)
I had my reservations about the premise of the show (another Sherlock adaptation? and in America?), but they were quickly overcome by how well the characters worked and how fun the show was to watch, even though the mysteries could be a bit improbable. And it was so rewarding to see the characters change and grow, and their relationship change and grow, during the arc of the season.
Hannibal (Season 1)
I was totally not planning to watch this show, because serial killers and gory violence, and then I heard things that made me go OMG I HAVE TO WATCH, and I did (often through my fingers), and I meant to make several long posts with raving and meta and speculation. And then time got away from me. And then all of Season 2 happened, and I still haven't gotten around to watching it. *facepalm*
The Bletchley Circle (Season 1)
I was hooked when I heard the premise: during WWII, these four women worked as codebreakers at Bletchley Park. Now, post-war, they've returned to their normal lives. But when one of them notices a pattern in a series of murders, she gets the gang together again and they start to investigate.
