True Blood.  Pilot.  Anna Paquin running around in a white t-shirt and shorts is no bad thing, but there are too many bland characters in this pilot to worry too much about what happens to any of them.  Everyone seems sex-obsessed, Anna Paquin can read minds and... vampires are just another minority group.  Whatever.

NCIS.  Season 4, Episode 20.  "Cover Story"  I like McGee and it's great to see him take centre-stage but the premise for this episode is too goofy for me.  Someone is killing people based on what they read in a book that McGee wrote!!  Seriously?  Nope, don't buy it.  The interplay between the regulars is great (as usual) but the story is rubbish.

Jesse Stone.  Episode 2.  "Night Passage" is even better than the first movie.  The story is less OTT and there is much more character development.  Jesse is fascinating.  So messed up, yet so noble.  When he does something cool, it is seriously cool but most of the time he's just in pain.  They have captured a unique kind of lonliness with this character.  The best detective series on television.

Highlight? Jesse Stone
