Ashton and Two and a Half Men – Success vs. Failure
Have you heard the big news? For sure you know by now, that the TV show ‘Two and a Half Men’ is going to continue without the most well-known character of them all, Charlie. According to the plot, the character dies, and another one appears, impersonated by Ashton Kutcher.
We have to admit that at the beginning it looked like the show got new energy from the new actor, but episode after episode the fans have seen that the show is still the same, only the actors change. A lot of people have been hoping for a brand new show, but instead they got a knock-off of Charlie.
On the other hand, a lot of fans agree with the choice for the character of Walden, saying that they have been some lines that were relatively difficult to pull off, and Kutcher still managed.
Game of Thrones vs. True Blood – The HBO Fight to Crush Showtime

Had HBO hit the jackpot leaving behind cynical touches and going all fantastic for the sake of public’s craze for picturesque heroics? The answer is yes.
Showtime and its loved masterpieces that put before the public sex – Californication, drugs – Weeds and murder – Dexter, has something to fear.

The first series included numerous actions that are a taboo in today’s society, although they have been accepted in the past.
In the case of the series called The Borgias you will also find these elements. During the series there are numerous characters the life of which is taken, and naturally there is a lot of sex that has been commonly accepted back then.
The plot of The Borgias is set slightly before the plot of The Tudors, and at that time incest was really common. Even at the beginning we find out that Cesare is in love with his sister, Lucrezia, and the truth is that the feeling is mutual.
