She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

It was a good first episode. I hope this contues. I don't get all the hate. But if I am guessing right, people didn't like how she-hulk is instantly able to perform stuff better than bruce.

Dexter: New Blood: 1x10 Sins of the Father

The whole season was a solid 6/10. But finale was rushed and mediocre at best, A solid 3/10. I don't mind Harrison killing Dexter. But their encounter and conversation was so off and bizarre. The only character that was properly utilized was Angela.

P. S. : I can understand Dexter's willingness to die for his son. But I couldn't see the need for harrison to kill Dexter. Just my personal opinion.

Well, seeing the true viltrumites may help Mark gleam some insight into Nolan's action. Great episode.

I loved this episode except for noir's untimely death. I wanted to explore more of this nuanced character. Everything else was excellent, especially the last cheering that spell trouble for the world. I expected ryan to turn to homelander.

The Baby-Sitters Club

Exceptional. A feel good show. Every episode is self contained and has a good message for the kids. Happy endings guaranteed. Characters are really fleshed out and vivid. Especially the side characters. Loved it.

Cliche story but excellent execution. It had brilliant comedic timings.

Trailer was hilarious. I hope they don't develop romantic feelings. That would be cliche.

Ted Lasso: 3x02 (I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea

Adding Zava to an impressive lineup of players is a good strategy. But volatile nature of Zava will fuck up the team dynamics. I hope Ted will pull off a magic trick and make him more approachable like he did with Jamie tartt.

Is this series kept under wraps? How did I just hear about this?

Extraordinary: 2x08 Well, Goodbye Forever

stop ending the season with a cliff hanger.

Gen V

The portrayal of central female character was annoying. The character on paper sounds good, a character so deeply traumatised that she has to remind herself she is good all the time. But when translated on to the screen, she came out as whiny self-righteous and selfish teenager with naive world view. Other central characters are decent, not great though. I have yet to finish the first season. I expect some character development.
The world itself is great, as it shares it with The Boys. Powers are excellent. I don't mind the shoving of modern ideologies right in your face. But it did eat into the story.

Brilliant, action packed and relatable.

The Shield

This is a brilliant series. I had no idea what to expect next. Kept me on my toes. I especially liked the team's and his family's dynamic with Vic. Vic is a corrupt cop who is extremely selfish. He does good somethings somtimes, but he is a menace. Lots of complicated characters. Not realistic but enjoyable nonetheless.

Season 1: Such a great slice of life story. Relatable characters and well paced plot. Actors were fantastic and thier character development were on point. 9.5/10

Season 2: Not as brilliant as the first season. 8/10. The season felt a little short. I wish we had a little more of Billie and lucky interaction. I was looking forward to that. Iliked that Meg got closure.

Jane the Virgin

The story is average, except for the MC. Jane is so weird and unfunny, I mean the character not the actress. I cannot relate to the MC at all. Most of the characters are one dimensional. There are 5 Characters that are atleast relatable in the series; Petra(Quirky but broken), Luisa, The twins (Elsa, Anna), Mateo and the narrator(probably Mateo). The unrealistic nature of the story is bearable, making villains so dumb gets annoying very quickly. I do know some of the comedic stuff are for the satire, but most of them are overused. After the virginity part, it is clear that the plot loses the direction to go forward. I want to like the series, But after season 2 I could not wait for the series to be over.

Not recommended 3.5/10

X-Men '97

This is peak television. Great characters, Excellent plot, World-class dialogues, Masterful action scenes and Brilliant BGM. I can only hope to get more of this. Everything about this screams perfections.

To me, My x-men.

Generic romance flick. Mediocre characters and mediocre plot.

Echo

The show was an average experience. But it did have fantastic action sequences. But if it didn't try to rip off ATLA, that would have been much better. Her powers actually didn't play that much in the series. Some characters felt bland.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Initial episodes are good. The casting is on point, Especially Mr. D. Way better than the movie adaptation. I hope they don't change much from the books.

Sex Education

Such vivid characters and coherent plot. I love it. I loved how the show was able to develop so much characters with out making the MC suffer. The sex education is a progressive show for it's time, but it does it with out being too much. It is a fine line. I never expected the finale to be so brilliant. Everyone got closure. I especially loved Adam's family's story.

Justified: City Primeval

It is an average show. But the last episode does deliver everything we wished for. Episodes 1-7 are 6/10 and episode 8 is 9/10. I wish the 8th episode was the beginning and the storyi progressed from there.

The Company You Keep

Average show with likable characters. Main problem is that it is a bit predictable. I hope they shake things up a bit in season two. The plot of the show is fairly simple had no major problems.

Second season is shaping up better than season 1. I hope they continue at this pace.

The Last of Us

I don't know if it is a faithful adaptaion or not. But I like it and it is one of my favoutie zombie shows.

Pros:
1. Relatable characters with good character development. The bonds between multiple characters are a joy to watch.
2. Terrifying but realistic world.
3. Superb plot.
4. Dark and gritty undertone, still manages to land some jokes
5. Talented Cast (Oberyn Martell and Lyanna Mormont as central characters, what is not to love?)

Cons:
1. Felt too short
2. Need more of bill and frank
3. Minor gripe: Some inconsistencies with how the zombies acted and how it is explained.

This is pure comedy gold. This is classic for a reason. If you haven't seen this, then you are missing out. Do watch it.

Brilliant Television Series.

I avoided this series like a plague, because I thought this was about missing children and dark magic. The thought of sitting through another cliche about western religious stereotypes and superstitions did't sit well with me. Oh boy! was I wrong?

This series is about time travel. Paradoxes and human connections that revolves around time travel. I like that it doesn't pull punches in story telling. It is complex story telling. You have to pay attention to understand the intricacies of relationships, characters and time.

It is totally worth it.

Best in class casting. The crew is amazing in acting and resemblance.

The characters portray desolation well. You can see the perpetuating sadness in the main characters. Time is taking it's toll.

Watch it in German. English is okay, But German is Amazing.

Mayans M.C.

This is a terrible sequel. The only upside of this story is that this story happens in the SOA universe. Unrelatable characters. Zero plot development. Use of violence in a poor way. The main character is so horrible. He kills people left and right with little to no remorse. Then acts like he is the saint. He snitches to the feds then acts like he is the most honorable rider. Too much whining to suffer through. If you are thinking of starting this, Beware this show leads to nothing but disappointment.
SOA characters' cameos was interesting.

The Boys

Relatable and realistic super heroes. Talented and charismatic cast. This is a Great series. Anthony Starr as homelander is an accurate portrayal of modern day superman. Terrifying performance.
