Spooks, Robin Hood, and Sherlock

I haven't updated for a while, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been watching TV series.
First, I all begin from The Pillars of the Earth. I saw Matthew MacFadyen on the show. I liked him since his Mr. Darcy. Then I looked up him on imdb.com. I saw he was once on the British show 'Spooks'. I couldn't find the show with Chinese subtitles, so I have to watch the raw videos. Gladly, I found out that my listening is not that bad. I could understand 90% of what they are saying if I concentrate on the show. The 10% is because there are a lot of politics, terrorists, and weapon terms that I am not familiar with. After watching this series, I hooked with Spooks. Sadly, he left after 2 seasons.
However, that didn't change my love to Spooks. I kept watching, then I began to like Adam Carter, Rupert Penry-Jones. Therefore, I looked up his other films and series. I watched his Whitechapel and Persuasion. So beautifully directed and filmed.
More sadly, he left after Season 6. Then Lucas North came along. Actually, before that, when I looked up Matthew MacFayden, there was a video on youtube.com that compared all Mr. Darcy from various actors. I was surprised that I didn't recognized one of them, so I looked up. He was Mr. Thornton from 'South and North'. I couldn't stop watching this series. It's a beautiful story, and the story line is very similar to 'Pride and Prejudice'. I think that's why Mr. Thornton is one of Mr. Darcy. One user commented that Mr. Thornton is the working-class Mr. Darcy. She/He couldn't imagine living with Mr. Darcy, but with Mr. Thornton, it would be fantastic.
Well, that's why I liked Richard Armitage, and his voice. It's so low and comfortable. I continued watching Sean 7 and 8. And then his Robin Hood, though he is a bad guy in the show. I also watched Strike Back. I am so eager to watch the next season for all those shows.
What a brilliant show, three lead actors are all graduated from famous acting collegs, all taller than 180cm, all filmed Austen or Victorian film.

Really, I am so hooked by Richard Armitage, I began to cut his portion in Robin Hood.

By the way, I like the new Sherlock. I love it! Hohoho.Unfortunately, we have to wait a year to watch Season 2. New Sherlock and Watson are so funny together. The crew of the show even created the two blogs online. Those blogs are funny, too. It's just so interesting to see how Watson wrote about their cases and how other characters on the show commented on the blog. It's even funnier to see how Watson and Sherlock cross in the comment area. By by the way, I like the detective.

The little thing about 'The Pilliars of the Earth': I know I shouldn't like William Hamleigh because he is just a pure evil from the start to the end. However, after all those episodes, I just couldn't stop liking him, or the actor, David Oak. His face is just pure, clean, and handsome, not like others' faces. I didn't read the book before. But I read the sequel of this book 'World without End'. I couldn't finish the book. It's just so boring, and confusing with all those characters, places, and storylines. Maybe there's nothing interesting for me in the first few chapters. The other reason I don't like the book is that there's just too much sex scenes from the beginning. Furthermore, those scenes are not beautiful or pure. They are all about purposes. That's why I gave up on the book.
Well, since I like the TV series, I may started to read book 'The Pillars of the Earth'. It published on the year I was born. Hehe, same age as me.
