(no subject)

I have spent the last week falling obsessively face first into watching Medium. I'm up to the fourth season right now, and suspect I will be finished with all of it by next week if the inability to stop at 'just one more episode' continues. Clearly, given my getting sucked into Ghost Whisperer awhile back, I have been in need of woman sees the dead type stories and as entertained as I was by that romp in the genre, Medium is kicking that button way harder right now.

I think it's the blood splatter. I'm a sucker for police procedurals, and as much as I love a good cry there's a point at which I overload on sentimentality. Medium gives me a main female lead, ghost stories, AND crime scenes with completely unrealistic forensics and police work followed by equally nonsensical trials and legal mumbo jumbo. It's like they know me.

I am also more than a little in love with the three daughters and the inherited gift storylines weaving through. The whole concept of what the heck do you do when not only do you see horrible things, but your kids do too because you passed it on to them. I like (like seems like an awful word to use here, but you get my meaning) that this hasn't gone unexplored or dodged by only giving them benign visions. We're told Allison has lived with this all her life, so giving it to her daughters as well drives home what that means and what they go through, plus how Allison handles it is a good window into that experience. Also, strong mother and daughter relationships, yay!

So, yeah, that's what I'm doing with my time right now.
