I had never heard of Enlightened, otherwise I would have included it. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Awake, although I think the idea is very cool. I just thought I was going to like it more, I suppose, but I do feel it was eliminated far too soon from the list. And I agree, Touch is a cool show. I'm curious, what exactly didn't you like about American Horror Story? |
lol I'm not surprised you didn't hear about Enlightened, actually. The viewership for it was pretty damn low, but it still got picked up for another season :D. It's an "aquired taste" show, so I'm not sure many people would like it, but I do.
As for Awake. I was a little disappointed with it because it ended up focusing a bit too much on the procedural crime aspect, when I wish it focused more on the psychological aspect like the pilot (man, I loved that pilot), but I still think it's a great show.
Now AHS.... I'm not sure where to begin. Well, let's start with the characters. They were all so shallow to me and the fact that the family was so dysfunctional I couldn't care less about them, so whenever they were in danger I was like "whatever, I don't care". In fact [Spoiler] when I watched the first episode I said to myself "Ugh I hate this, I hope the whole family dies in the end" and low and behold they did, so that was kind of nice{/Spoiler]. It's a very predictable show too. I predicted soooo much of the events that happened [Spoiler]except for Violet being dead since she took those pills[/Spoiler]. Also, I was hoping for a scary/creepy horror show as well, but it ended up being the most cliche horror elements and tricks you could think of. It was never scary for even a millisecond. Actually, I ended up laughing at the show more than anything else. So when people were shocked that they submitted themselves for miniseries instead of dram for the Emmys, I was thinking they should have shocked everyone and submitted for comedy XD. But that's just me, I guess. Although, I will admit the acting was great, especially Jessica Lange. She will definitely get an Emmy for this show.
