Blue Bloods

When I like a certain TV series, I will finish more than four episodes at a single chance of my free time. I have mentioned “chance” in that sentence because we don’t have the luxury to fight with the three-year old toddler as he owns the TV when he is awake and in the house. Not that we tolerate him watching TV all the time but it is because that is his chance to be still at one place in the house. And if you don’t know his time when he is not watching TV then it is like you are watching a track and field tournament. He is like racing with Usain Bolt.

So before the European football season resumes tomorrow, I already had the luxury to finish several episodes of one of my favorite TV series Blue Bloods so I can catch up in the fourth season. Three weeks back, I did finally found a good link with clear online streaming reception and also did a marathon viewing of it during the first leg of the last World Cup qualifying matches.

Anyway, I was hooked up with Blue Bloods as it is not just concentrated being a police procedural drama but also it depicts the life and the decisions they must make in and outside the law enforcement. What’s more interesting is the way they portray how they able to separate their own emotional family feelings from their line of work. They must be fair in making their decision without jeopardizing their support from their family. In fact in so many instances, I found it very hard to decide on what needs to be done when caught in a dilemma. That it is not only being fair for everyone but it also must not violate the law that they are enforcing especially being a Police Commissioner at the same time a father to his two sons who are under him at NYPD.

The TV Series Obsession

When the TV series Dexter was officially announced its last season, I kind of started to look for another show that I can watch without boring myself. Just like the obsession I got from the TV series Dexter. Although I’ve been watching already NCIS before but it wasn’t like it now that I’ve been following every episode there is. In fact, when I was hooked up in NCIS, I watched it all over from the very beginning of the first season until I finally catch up with the latest one. And it was in the latter part when I learned that NCIS was voted America’s favorite TV show and I believe it all started in season 7.

So the latest TV show that I have followed then was Blue Bloods, it is a police procedural drama series that revolves around the Reagan family of police officers. The setting is the NYPD. The same with NCIS, I have seen some of its episode before but since I am a diehard Dexter and CSI follower it was in the last picking of my choices. The only difference is that, I have seen only a few series of it. And it was before the very last season of Dexter when I just so happen to see one episode of Blue Bloods when I started to like it. It was also the start of another TV series obsession that I really searched for it so I can start from the beginning of the show.

And it was during the international break in football that I will be able to focus on watching them as I have to joggle the football season matches, which is every weekend and midweek for the Champions League and league tournaments a well, and in keeping an eye on a very active toddler. We are just so lucky this time that he already went to school that during the morning of weekdays, the house is free of a child who sprints all the time as if he don’t know how to walk. So if you have a free time, watch Blue Bloods and let me know if you won’t be hooked up with it.

Dexter: The New Season 8

Just last month, my attention was glued in watching the TV series “Blue Bloods” since it is not just about NYPD but it also portray the life of the Reagan family. What really catches my attention is the life’s lesson that you will learn in handling work and family matters without jeopardizing what the law stipulates and its politics. So now I became a follower and I loved it but then I have to watch the first season in marathon since it was already in the third season that I started watching it.

So while looking for good sites to watch for online streaming, out of nowhere I started searching for Dexter first if the new season has started because I simply forgot when season 8 will start. And to my surprise, Dexter Season 8 has started already. In fact, there are already 7 episodes when I wrote this post. And guess what happened next? I instead end up watching the season 8 of Dexter and I finished six episodes already in three days. And here’s what I can say so far for Dexter season 8.

I noticed that Dexter hasn’t killed that much in the first six episodes and if there’s a serial killer that they are tracking, it don’t last that long before Dexter neutralized them. And unlike from the rest of the seven seasons, those who will know what Dexter is doing will be killed at the end or before the season ends. This time around, there are two characters who knew his dark secrets and still alive. Though it is understandable that his sister, Debra, is still alive but then I am curious what will happen to Dr. Vogel in the coming episodes, if Dexter will kill her or not.

After watching episode six “The Little Reflection”, I never expect something that triggers my curiosity and thrill in the last six episodes knowing that this will be the last season of Dexter. I cannot wait to watch episode seven tomorrow since new character from season seven has emerged and then Dexter will have an intern too. And that’s what Dexter is all about, surprises and twists just when you thought there isn’t any. So if you want to watch Dexter, I just want to let you know that this is not the cartoon series (Dexter’s Lab) and this is not for faint hearted too because of the very violent and graphic crime scenes but if you like crime drama with lots of thrill and surprises then this is the one for you.
