This one of my blogging goals is to type more about television. Anyone who has even glanced at this blog knows that I love to watch movies and what I love even more is to write about them. I have to say that I don't watch as much television. It's not that I don't like it, and in the ast decade I have been plastered in front of the TV for many a show, but I can't always find the path to sticking with it. I am picky when it comes to devoting all my time to certain characters, meaning they have to be good ones. Once a show can prove to me that the characters have depth and room to grow, I am hooked. That's why Desperate Housewives ending was like a death in the family. I have been looking for more good shows since then and I have finally found a really great one to share.
My newest obsession is with Deception. This time of year a lot of shows start out and not all of them get the green light to return after the half season. I think that this show will fully run its course with a few seasons if not more. Why? I think we all can agree that the first key to creating a lasting series is the cast. This show has incredible casting starting with Meagan Good who plays Joanna. I am pretty sure no one is more beautiful than her, she is completely flawless, and her acting is pretty dead on too. Meagan is joined by a list of veterans and newbies including Tate Donovan, Victor Garber, Wes Brown and Ella Rae Peck; all of whom are spectacular in their roles.
Another important piece to a successful television run is the character development. If there is nowhere for the story to go or for the characters to turn, the show will inevitably die. This story revolves around Joanna as she finds out that her childhood best friend was murdered. This best friend was a girl from a wealthy family who controlled much of Manhattan, and Joanna grew up with Vivian because her mother was the family's maid. Now of course Joanna is grown up and a cop so she gets sent in undercover to find out more about how could of done it. There is so much room for character development and the writers have already shown in just four episodes that they are pedal to the metal. The basic structure of the show is a mystery, you are always trying to figure out who killed Vivian Bowers. The possibilities are endless, and the guessing game is the best part. The show reminds me of Desperate Housewives in that way, always trying to make a stab and who done it. Maybe that's why I am so in love with it.
If you are not doing anything Monday nights after watching The Biggest Loser or The Bachelor then head on over to NBC to watch this show. I am positive that you will not regret it.
