Tilt (2005)

Quit listening to the haters, they don't know anything about poker anyway!

[25 January 2005]

After 2 episodes, I have to say I'm already a fan of this show.

A couple of haters here, who probably don't know anything about poker and were too slow to understand what was going on, are talking badly about the show.

Don't listen to them. This show has a very nice cast, is well written, and it has all the elements you'd want from an action series. Michael Madsen kicks ass as The Matador - but right away, the intrigue of seeing him fall to Eddie, Miami and Clark is too much, and you just wanna see how it will all develop.

Add to this a lot of danger surrounding a cop who is after the Matador himself, trying to avenge his late brother, who was killed by the Matador, and you got a big hit! I never watched Playmakers. I heard it was good, but it turned out to be a good thing I didn't watch since ESPN's affiliation with the NFL forced that show to get cancelled.

That won't happen to Tilt - this show will be a success!

Nip/Tuck (2003–2010)

Easily the best show on TV!

The guy who previously commented has obviously not seen the humanity in this great show. And the superficial people who don't observe the real story lines might think this show is about plastic surgery, but in reality, this show isn't about that. Sure, it's part of the story and there are some patient stories that might be a little bit crazy, but creator Ryan Murphy has picked these stories because they've actually happened in real life!

If the sex and the plastic surgery is what grabs the headlines for this show, the humanity of the characters and the relationship of Sean and Christian is what makes people come back and watch every week! And if you've watched from the beginning, there's no way you don't love it!

The 3rd season should be amazing as we watch how Christian's life changes after the damage that was done by the criminal known as "The Carver" to his face.
