TV Serials

Sarah Jessica Parker just earned a new fan. She has a uniquely cute smile, an innocent look and a disarming french'ed accent where she at time rolls her tongue. While the rest of the cast of 'Sex and the city' doesn't make such a connection, Sarah's character just makes me fall in love with it. Confused and naughty at times, thoughtful, pensive at others and a New Yorker to the core. The back to back episodes of the serial portray New York in a very 'happening' light, with Sarah's character defining the city as her love interest. Guess I'll now make a conscious effort to fulfill the thought of visiting New York in January.

So what are you gonna do the rest of the day? and Sarah says "Who knows, it's New York".

Let me put in a disclaimer here, I have only seen 2 episodes of the serial till now.

Talking of serials, Dexter keeps me gripped and looking forward to watching TV on Sunday evenings. Dexter Morgan played by Michael Hall is a layered character which is a contortion of brutality, innocence, intelligence, compassion and disconnect all at once. The serial is one of the best i have come across after 'Prison Break'. But while Michael Scofield played by Wentworth Miller was very Supermanish in actions and intelligence, Dexter Morgan still feels human.

On the onset, one thing that struck me as common between Dexter and Sex and the City was that both the serials have a background narrative in the voice of the main protagonist, which helps in driving the flow and emotion to the user powerfully.
