algDay 11 - A show that disappointed you
Meh. Every show eventually disappoints me. Lately I've been sulking most about Psych, which I started out really enjoying. The first two seasons were great, mostly. I wasn't a big fan of the invisibility of queer people, and Gus is the only character of color, and despite the Chief and Juliet, I still felt like there weren't enough women or... I'm not sure. Even now I have a hard time putting my finger on why I was uncomfortable with the way Psych deals with women. But I could enjoy it otherwise, since it was pretty freaking funny -- the American Duos episode! The talking cat! The Civil War reenactment! The science fiction convention! The spelling bee! The chop shop! Black and tan! The mummy!
The third season was okay -- I liked the episode concepts, but the execution often got on my nerves, and I was not thrilled by the introduction of Abigail; I never really warmed up to her character, and I thought she could have been better written. (Also, that actress rubbed me the wrong way with how she was not funny at all.) And while I found a couple of moments to be entertaining during the fourth season, it was pretty much total fail. I didn't laugh. I was really irritated a lot of the time. I thought the writing was weak and the plotting awful.
I'm not sure I'm going to bother watching the fifth season. Why go out of my way and have to sit through freaking commercials, which I loathe? Especially since even when I watch the older episodes now, Gus's homophobia really grates on me.
