Mad Men: Season 1
The men are all stereotypical. The women, refreshingly, are not. Or, not yet.

I was convinced this was relying heavily on the Matrix legend, until I saw that it was a Philip K. Dick story.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Season 3
Animation of the last episode was stellar. Storyline wrapped up a little too neatly, though.

There are two morals here: bad publicity is good publicity, and, don't die.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Season 1
Complicated "remake" of an already complicated tale makes for complicated, but satisfying, viewing.

The Big Bang Theory: Season 1
From the special features: "Oh, and we have a physics consultant for the show." No, really?

Conviction
It is super odd to watch a film with scenes in it a block from your house.

Sherlock: Series 1
The anti-Wallander, in its cleverness and quickness. The parallel-Wallander, in its wonderfulness.
