It's also less Ecchi than I was expecting when you look at the promotional work going into the Show.

First 10 episodes of Witchblade has so far been more or less going at that same okay level.

There's some decent characters in the Anime, but the plot could do with more focus imo as it does like to dilly dally around with Slice Of Life components too much imo.

But overall a harmless Show I feel.

I've watched the third episode of CSI: Vegas on Alibi, and my god it is honestly really ****, and I'm not saying it because they're casting more diverse (because I know that has been an issue for some CSI fans online) because whilst yes it's clearly forced diversity, I can honestly still get around that if the Show was remotely decent in quality.

But to me the main issue that I'm having with the Show is the rushed Folsom & Rajan romance, it just hits you like a truck from the pilot and hasn't really let go in the two subsequent episodes.

Their characters are deeply irritating to watch.

Roby is okay, but just a bit beige imo, there's nothing about the character that makes me hooked watching her like you are supposed to feel about characters when you're watching a TV Show.

Ramirez is okay as the new Morgue guy, he actually feels like he could belong in the original Show imo.

The Show is overly reliant on Grissom & Sara to do all of the main work of the Show imo, and it's a bad sign considering they're only there to boost ratings, these new characters need to be interesting in their own right if this Show is to last for a long time.

Plus the Show needs to be more eccentric like the original Show was, it's too beige imo, but ain't that modern American TV for you.

NCIS: LA I refuse to even comment on how **** Season 13 is anymore, it just keeps hitting new levels of **** every week.

Between Rountree & Deeks I honestly don't know who I would want to avoid irl if they existed, they're both by far the most annoying characters this season.

And FBI: International I have been watching more for my Mom's benefit tbh, but like typical American TV at the moment it's quite beige/****.

Tbf to FBI: International I do like Forrester, the Dog & Jaeger, but the other three characters kinda suck.

Especially Kellett as she gets so much screentime, and her only real dynamic is with Forrester, she doesn't interact with the other characters at all, and I wish that I was kidding.

Overall I think that my taste in TV just doesn't align with American's taste in TV as they keep commissioning this bizarre beige content on their platforms.

Without meaning to sound like a Boomer, but this was the same country that made:

Battlestar Galactica
DS9
GOT
24
Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Star Trek: Enterprise
Gilmore Girls
Relic Hunter
The original CSI Vegas
CSI Miami
CSI NY
Dexter
The original Law & Order
SVU
Criminal Minds
Cold Case
Buffy & Angel

I know that a lot of these Shows won't appeal to everyone (personally I found Buffy to be an annoying Show) but they all had character to them, and they all had iconic moments in them that will go down in history for their fans.

Basically people will always remember that these Shows existed, and they left a mark on people, what kinda mark is FBI: International gonna leave on anyone? Or weird **** like Midnight Mass? It's horrible grey programming that I wish the Americans would honestly stop making.

It's almost like they deliberately go out of their way to not want to entertain their audience anymore.

With the exception of From & The After Party.

I'm sorry for the rant, it's just the last few years have been ****, TV is meant to be escapism from all of the ****, but instead they make you feel even lower with their lack of fun.
