My 5 Favs of 2007 - TV Shows

1) VERONICA MARS (S2)

I’m only halfway through the second season, but it’s proving to be just as enjoyable as the first.

2) DAMAGES (S1)

In case you didn’t already know, Glenn Close kicks serious ass in this show. Ted Danson is also surprisingly excellent as her nemesis. The time-hopping format kept me on my toes too ;)

3) CALIFORNICATION (S1)

David Duchovnys performance in this show was a revelation. Though a bit crude at times, it managed to balance genuine and complicated relationships with some sharp and hilarious dialogue.

4) BOSTON LEGAL (S2)

Another excellent year in a consistently excellent programme. Once again Shatner and Spader are the main draw. The writing continues to impress, managing to balance funny, touching, dramatic and socially relevant all in a single episode!

5) KIDNAPPED

I think the fact that this show was cancelled actually worked in its favour as it managed to craft a nicely thought-out storyline with none of the usual season-long filler!
