Good TV

Some TV shows are really bad, probably most that exist today. But, there are some that are very good. The series Homeland took away a lot of awards for it's first season that aired last year. I've been watching the beginning of it on disc, and from what I've seen, it's a good show. It's very tense, and the plot is a little unorthodox focusing on two characters who rarely encounter eachother, but the dialogue and the cinematography are very cool. It's about a CIA operative and a recently released prisoner of war from Iraq, and it focuses on the former's constant paranoia and the latter's struggle to live a normal life. The other show that I've been watching old episodes from is called Justified. It's much less popular and as far as I know, hasn't won any awards, but I think it's the best TV show out there. The main reason for this is that it's based on a book by Elmore Leonard, one of the greatest crime writers still alive. It's about a federal marshal who's sent back to his hometown in Kentucky for shooting a drug dealer in Miami. It's basically a cop show, but the criminals are all simpathetic in a twisted way, and the dialogue and acting are excellent and sometimes wryly hilarious. I would recommend both of these shows to just about anyone.
