I haven't been reviewing much of Royal Pains this season, but it's the summer finale, so I'll say a couple things. There are plenty of plots right now--Hank and Evan at odds, Divya with a new job, Boris's poisoning, Jill leaving--but, aside from Boris's problems, nothing seems like a serious problem. Is it a a big deal that Divya is working at the hospital? Will Jill really leave forever? Will Hank and Evan dissolve Hank Med for good? No, no, and no. Despite everything going on, Royal Pains remains stable and boring from a long-term perspective.

Review - Royal Pains Season 3 Episode 7 Ta Da For
I haven't been reviewing Royal Pains lately (mostly due to laziness), but it's time to drop in. In spirit of the easy-to-watch summer show, this season has been what one would expect of the show. There are several plot threads, each moving without too much urgency but are worked on each week. The contrivances, expectedly, are in full-force, with Raj and his parents seeming more sociopathic than ever and Hank and Evan coming into conflict in every episode, but none them are gamebreakers.
The plot of "Ta Da For" has the usual medical stuff, which has become a purely rote exercise at this point, and a magician so the audience can be entertained by magic tricks. Compared to the bubbling joy of Libby last week, the magician fell a little short.
What I really want to comment on is the final conversation between Hank and Evan. Evan doesn't like that Hank doesn't take him seriously, that Hank rolls his eyes whenever Evan starts talking about his big plans. Yet, Evan seems to get things done on the business side. This is bothersome to me because Evan's success is only because the writers make him successful. In my eyes, Evan is a clown. His behavior, his attitude, his disposition all seem juvenile. Take, for example, his fixation on Matt Lauer. Not only does he go to the pool and the store to find Matt, he treats it all very lightly, as if what he's doing is neither a serious business venture nor a somewhat creepy action.
But the writers make it so that Evan is awesome and succeeds a lot--when the more obvious answer would be that Evan succeeds only because of repeated attempts, not any personal trait other than perseverance. Basically, Evan's business plan is to hand everyone a card or DVD, talk to everyone possible, and have a thin skin when he's rejected. That's what I see when Evan at work, not a savvy businessman who makes efficient use of his time.
Score: 8.0/10

Review - Royal Pains Season 3 Episode 2 But There's a Catch
"But There's a Catch" resembles most episodes of Royal Pains.The medical plot has some urgency to it, resolved eventually by Hank's wacky MacGyver medicine, and the plots for the other characters move along nicely at the same time. There is the Hampton's "twist," with rich people playing football to provide the setting and it makes for a light, fun episode.
Divya not depositing her checks was manufactured out of nowhere since Evan would have noticed that if he were a competent accountant, but it does leave her with nothing now that her parents have cut her off. It serves as a constant reminder that her parents no longer want anything to do with her and leads to some good scenes between Divya and Evan. And, in the true spirit of the Hamptons, Divya's spirits are lifted, at least for now, when she gets a new, expensive car.
What's up with Paige? Her problem is probably medical, assuming she didn't lie to Hank, but then again, she was very distraught over something. The television cliche would be pregnancy, though Royal Pains doesn't seem like the kind of show that would do that.
Even more confusing than Paige's condition is what the writers want to do with Jill. I never thought she really got enough screen time to be that significant, even to Hank, and I always thought she could get more to now. Now, on the verge of going back to Uruguay, she hangs out with Hank for a while, but it's a pretty lax affair. What do the writers want to do with her character? Constantly do this push-pull thing with Hank?
Score: 8.7/10

Review - Royal Pains Season 3 Episode 1 Traffic
If remembering what happened in the previous season is a mark of how good a show is, Royal Pains would rank pretty low for me. Before the recap at the beginning of the episode, I was trying to remember what happened in the second season finale and just couldn't remember anything. After the recap and a couple minutes into the episode, however, memories flooded back and got reacclimated with the show. The bigger point is that I don't care much about the various plots of Royal Pains, not Boris and his medical problems, Hank and Jill's on-off-on-off relationship, Divya and her parents, or Evan and Paige. It's certainly not bad and makes for decent material in between the medicine, but it's not something I actively think about.
"Traffic" starts the new season with a reset of sorts. Eddie is in prison and out of the picture, Boris lets Hank back into his guest home, both Jill and Paige return, and Divya, not engaged to Raj, continues to work for HankMed. There aren't too many immediate concerns, but there are two big ones--Jill wanting to go to Uruguay full time and be with Hank at the same time, and Divya's parents, clueless as ever, try to set Divya up and cut her off after she refuses. I'm a little confused about the Divya situation because I thought she'd earned enough money over the years to get a place to stay, not necessarily in the Hamptons, but somewhere near.
The medical mystery was light padding on top of the ongoing drama and was fun, if not intriguing. The patient thinks she has allergies, but Hank believes she has a deep vein thrombosis. Hank is proven right and while she collapses and has to go to the hospital, all is well in the end.

Review - Royal Pains Season 4 Episode 18 Listen to the Music
I haven't review Royal Pains in a long time, but I've continued to watch. It's a pleasant show, without too much of anything. Everything, from the acting to the plot, is perfectly fine, but that's all it is--fine. There aren't any highs or lows, something that really jumps out. Instead, the show hums along at a steady pace and it's all good. In my opinion, it's not a show that's conducive to weekly reviews.
"Listen to the Music" is an episode that could have been a major gamechanger, with all the characters headed their separate ways, but the final twist, Divya and Raj with the bubonic plague, gives the writers plenty of room to return to the status quo. And that's absolutely fine--Royal Pains doesn't need a change in format.

With Hank and Evan tossed out of Boris's house and Divya spilling the secret of kissing a patient, the Royal Pains season finale is sure to be interesting.

The finale of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena will probably involve lots of blood... just a guess.

Review - Royal Pains Season 2 Episode 13 Mulligan
Royal Pains has dropped off my radar of shows I care about. I've watched every episode, but I find myself not caring what happens. The medical procedural elements are virtually the same every week, with a medical emergency at a location where Hank is, and he's able to jury rig a medical contraption. Lots of patients have weird quirks which Hank and Divya have to contend with, but it always works out fine. And the biggest problem, one that puts Royal Pains a step below Burn Notice and the like, is that the cast simply isn't as good.
As the title suggests, "Mulligan" is one big mulligan, resetting the show to neutral after the revelations are the end of the midseason finale, so Eddie try to become a good person. Hopefully this leads to a change in dynamics between everyone, and if it doesn't, then it's further indication that the writers aren't willing to take chances.
Also in the episode is a potential romance between Jill and a golfer. However, Jill, while medicated, expresses how much she misses Hank, so that'll cause problems later on. Jill and Hank have circled each other so much since they broke up that I don't care anymore.

Review - Royal Pains Season 2 Episode 12 Open Up Your Yenta Mouth and Say Ah
I've posted a few reviews of Royal Pains this season, not because I don't have anything to say, but because I'd sound irritated after each episode. Royal Pains is the one show this summer which made me clench my teeth. Sometimes I'd stop in the middle of the episode and continue it again the next day. Since this is the last episode for a while, I'll say a few quick things.
"Open Up Your Yenta Mouth and Say Ah" (Seriously, does any non-Jew care about the title or phrase?) felt a lot like the Burn Notice summer finale. There was lots of rubbish before the ending, in which case Royal Pains stepped up to the majors, delivering, in my opinion, a better shocker than Burn Notice, with Eddie R. Lawson outed as a fed-monkey (my made up word).
What makes this midseason finale worse than Burn Notice's, however, is the same problem that has plagued the second season--the soap opera-ish character stuff which come in spades, filling the entire episode and forcing out the medical stuff. Divya discovers true love, despite being engaged to another guy, Evan and his girlfriend being great together, Hank and Jill not in a relationship yet meeting each other every, Eddie trying to win his sons' favor, and variations on those seem to go on forever. It exposes another flaw, the acting. The more and more these scenes extend, we can see the awkwardness and lack of chemistry between all characters, except, perhaps, with Divya.
I was honestly ready to let go of Royal Pains before tonight, but given the ending which really took me by surprise, I'm inclined to continue watching in January just to see what happens.

Review - Royal Pains Season 2 Episode 8 The Hankover
What I hate most about Royal Pains is everyone's personal lives, and "The Hankover" was laced full of it. To make matters worse, everyone was drunk and the subpar acting dragged the episode down even more.
Let's start with Evan. He wants to check out Raj and make sure he's good for Divya--or so he claims? But we know better. Why? Because he's been hitting on Divya for the past season and a half! The writers are pretty good at creating funny moments with Evan, but when it comes to the big picture--his flippant handling of money, his reactions to Divya and Raj--he's very unlikable.
Then there was Dr. Peck and Hank who sleep together after/during the bachelor party. Divya and Jill also get hammered, going around town with Bill Bellamy as their cabbie. There was a bit of mystery as to what really happened between the stripper Karma and Raj behind closed doors, but the tape shows that Raj is more than good, nullifying Evan's underhanded attempts to stop the marriage.
All in all, it was a bad episode, the worst of the season in my opinion. The medicine was almost nonexistent, and the total inebriation to advance the plot was just stupid. Unless it's a show where people get drunk all the time, what's the point of things happening because characters are drunk at a certain time?

Review - Burn Notice Season 4 Episode 3 Made Man / Royal Pains Season 2 Episode 3 Keeping the Faith
I'm going to lump these two together and be very brief.
Burn Notice
Pretty dry cut episode without any decent thrills or twists. But Sam relating his story of not leaving people behind was very nice, so that partially redeemed the episode. The ending was also pretty poor and rushed. There is a shootout in the end, but any one of them could have killed Tony and the follow-up line of 10 arrests at the docks wasn't explained.
Score: 8.4/10
Royal Pains
I think this may be the end for me, or at least the last review I'll do. Nothing interests me with the show anymore, even the new concierge doctor at the end of the episode. She'll probably battle it out with Hank before a love triangle forms and she battles with Jill instead.

Review - Royal Pains Season 2 Episode 2 Lovesick
I wasn't planning to watch the next episode after the very disappointing season premiere, but I gave it another shot--there's far worse ways to spend my time. It was another blah episode with two bland cases and a few more laughs than in "Spasticity." So it wasn't all bad.
I'm not going to write particularly detailed reviews like I did last year or I might not even write a review at all. Royal Pains is very forgettable and that's really all I have to say about the episode and the show.

Justified - FX, Tuesday. June 1, 10:00pm ET
As the final two episodes of the season come around, the heat will be turning up. Boyd is out of control and Raylan will have to put a stop to him, but he may need his father's help.
Burn Notice - USA, Thursday, June 3, 9:00pm ET
The underlying mythology of Burn Notice has gotten kind of muddled and illogical with all the twists and turns that all go back to the simple fact that all the people who burned him want is his help. The beginning of Season 3 begins with another reset and Michael is quickly back into the spy game.
Royal Pains - USA, Thursday, June 3, 10:00pm ET
Royal Pains really began to wear on me in the later half of its first season and the second season begins much the same way. There's way too much interpersonal relationship problems, not enough comedy, and not enough medical stuff. That's where the difference between Royal Pains and Burn Notice is glaring. Burn Notice focuses on standalone stories much more and keeps away from soap opera-y arcs while Royal Pains embraces the soapy aspect to a point where everything feels labored.

Flashpoint would seem to be a normal procedural on the surface; it’s about an elite police team trained to talk down dangerous situations and if need be, take decisive action. Pretty simple, right? Well it is, and then you watch the show. Almost every episode immerses viewers into both sides of the equation—both the law enforcement angle and the mind of the criminal. It can get a little too sappy at times, but Flashpoint is one of the few procedurals that can bring out so much emotion.

Opinion of Current Television Shows, Part 3
Just a few more parts to go.
Mad Men: The writing team is extremely talented and the acting is simply amazing. The show has very few flaws and I don't have any complaints about it. The only reason why Mad Men is one of my favorite shows right now is the kind of show it is. I like genre shows the most, and Mad Men definitely ain't it.
Warehouse 13: The stories aren't that coherent and contain many plotholes, but the characters make up for it. The team relationships is really great, and the artifacts are cool for the most part. For a light summer show, Warehouse 13 fits the role nicely.
Psych: I think Psych is a little underapproved by the critics. The writing is iffy at times, but the acting, especially by James Roday is brilliant.
Burn Notice: I think the deal involving who blacklisted Michael is a little weak, and I think the show would do better focusing on it, but it would change the tone of the show. Michael and Co. are criminals with good hearts. With the action blended with comedy, Burn Notice looks like it will survive for a very long time.
Royal Pains: I started off liking Royal Pains even more than the latest season of Burn Notice, but after a while, I started noticing all the problems in the shows. I'll keep watching, but I'm worried about where it's going.
Leverage: The first season was absolutely mindblowing, but season 2 was sort of been a let down so far.
Dark Blue: I watched Dark Blue during the summer and it was pretty good. It wasn't anything special, but the tone of the show and acting made it watchable.

Review - Royal Pains Season 1 Episode 5 No Man is an Island
This episode was interesting not because of the main plot, but from the background information we learn and the progression of the characters. Jill ask Hank whether he would consider a job in the ER as there is an opening. Later, Evan walks in on them and it gets kind of awkward. He has a big job for HankMed. They can go into an island owned by some rich family. Evan comes along as the "manny" and Divya stays on the mainland. Somehow, Hank who has a date with Jill the next night doesn't tell her, and Evan fails to mention that there is no cellphone reception (it's nice to know facts before going to a deserted island).
The main medical story revolves around the old guy that lives on the island getting hurt when Evan lets a 12 year-old drive a truck and it crashes. The dumb, old guy takes some blood thinners because his head hurt and makes the problem worse (I guess he didn't know a doctor was in the next room). There's a bunch of boring, tedious stuff that happens, the old guy needs a transfusion and the kid provides the blood since everyone else in the family has too many antigens (am I weird to think inbreeding?). Yay...the kid does something useful and everyone is happy.
Jill tries to find Hank and instead finds Divya who is very defensive after learning Jill offered Hank a job. We later learn that she has been part of 2 previously failed concierge services and doesn't want that happened again. We also learn that Jill also used to be involved with an emergency room doctor and it didn't turn out well. The episode ends with Hank turning down the ER job and moving forward with Jill.
Score: 8.3/10

Review - Royal Pains Season 1 Episode 4TB or Not TB
Kind of a tacky title, but whatever..
HankMed goes to a restaurant to give everyone TB shots where Evan gets to use his very limited Italian (probably learned specifically to get girls) to speak with an Italian girls that knows no English. The head chef there has some kind of blackout problem and wants help from Hank.
We also learn that Sunday is when Hank was supposed to get married. He gets a call from his ex when he is supposed to eat brunch with Jill and she learns this also. Ouch... He sees the head chef and she has no clue who he is, and Hank figures out she has a stroke. They get her to the hospital, but disappears from her room leading to a frantic search by Hank and Jill. They eventually find her in the walk-in freezer where she had sex with another chef. They give her the medicine and she is forever grateful. IMO it was fairly boring.
The other storyline was more entertaining. When Divya goes back to the hospital for the TB follow-up, the Italian chef is gone, but tracks her down. After amusing squabbles with Evan, she eventually gets the Italian woman to come out and figures out that she has already had an inoculation for TB which prompted the reaction.
Score: 8/10
Next Episode: (2 weeks, boo!!) It looks like Hank and Evan have some Harper's Island thing going on.
