Just heard that a 3rd season of Breaking Bad is in preparation. Hurray!
Mad Men was just incredibly addictive and captivating, and is profoundly changing fashion trends as we speak. Season 3 finished with a bang: a double divorce with Don saying bye to both Betty and Sterling-Cooper. No doubt there will be a season 4 and no doubt it will be great, but the Don-Betty dynamic, if it's really over, will be sorely missed (...or perhaps not, who knows...)
Californication is a bit of a different story. The Life and Times of Mr. Hank Moody, misunderstood author and philanderer. Though perhaps it's the best TV Show of them all, and season 3 has just been shockingly concluded, it leaves me with a few big question marks. The whole Hank-Karen dynamic is increasingly lost on me. With all that's happening in his life, the aspirational nature of the Karen character is frankly losing credibility. But maybe worse is the fact that the closing episode of season 3 effectively killed off the last remaining undercurrent tension in the story. The Big Truth Untold has now escaped from Pandora's Box. Makes me wonder if this is a way to kill the show. How on earth any scriptwriter can get this one back on track in a credible way is a mystery to me. More likely there will not be a Season 4. Perhaps a pity, but probably not. Three fantastic seasons will be a memory to cherish, and will give Californication cult status forever. A 4th season may "Lost-ify" Californication, and that would be a true pity.
and Entourage is just a soft flowing miracle of chill out. This series is like Friends or Seinfeld. Just lots of feel good, not a hell of a lot going on, but always great fun to watch. Entourage as far as I'm concerned can just go on forever. That is, as long as Ari Gold is Ari Gold. The moment Ari Gold is gone or evolves into something else, they may as well close the whole thing down.
