Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season)
Justified. Hands down my favorite new show.
No, wait.
White Collar. Hands down my favorite new show.
Justified. White Collar. White Collar. Justified. Justicollared?
Why do meme's expect me to make choices like this?
These shows seem like polar opposites when you first look at them. White Collar is light while Justified is dark. But they both have what I really love in shows: Strong, well-defined characters, clever writing, excellent acting and a firm knowledge of what the shows are.
Justified's dialogue is amazing. It's engaging and non-linear and the cadences feel authentic. It manages to be gritty and capture the sense of place and character without becoming crude or r-rated. Every time someone talks you learn not only what the dialog conveys, but something about the speaker as well.
White Collar has witty and sparkly banter. All the characters are intelligent and confident. They all interact, but they are equally all themselves… no matter how small the character, you always get the feeling that there is more to them than just the part your seeing at the moment.
White Collar is pretty and fast paced; perfectly reflecting it's New York setting. Justified is rough and tightly intertwined; perfectly reflecting it's rural Kentucky setting.
They are both excellent shows and I'm pleased that they are both coming back for another season.

i've not seen white collar, i don't think it's made it over here yet, but it rings a bell so it might have just started or be just about to. i'll check it out!
i got my bro to watch justified - he was always a fan of westerns and stuff so i thought he'd like it, and he loved it too :D
