what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
All of these shows had more than one season, and they went downhill (at least a bit) at some point after the first season. The Big C This was an amazing show in its first two seasons — at times deadly serious and at other times side splittingly funny. They lost their way a little […]
Shows that got a bit better after season 1 Each of these shows went from 4.5/5 to 5/5. Babylon 5 The first season is great and presented a universe unlike any other, but the mind blowing ongoing story in the second season kicked things up a notch. The fifth season isn’t quite as amazing as […]

These are shows I’ve seen a fair number of episodes of but not all. {4.5/5} Blue Bloods “They are the finest police department on the planet but they carry guns and shields not magic wands.” Season 4 has finished — I don’t think I saw any of the first 2 seasons but have occasionally watched […]
