Scorpion: 4x22 A Lie in the Sand

I did not like this episode as a finale. It was just wrong. nuff said.

Suits: 6x16 Character and Fitness

What a great comeback, this season started off so slow, they drug the jail story on way past its bedtime but I agree this was probably the best season finale of the series. I gave it a 10 too when I usually give the show an 8 average. I hated the episodes with Mike in jail he was meant to be a lawyer! Can't wait for season 7.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Craazy show. Just as crazy as the novels, I had read these books when I was a teenage and loved them I was not expecting much of the tv show as these sort of books rarely translate well to TV but although I have only seen the first episode it really did justice to the spirit of the novels in its own way. While it diverges from the books in plot I think that is a good thing. Looking forward to the next episode. Be prepared for a trip if you watch this.

Timeless

I really like this show the longer I watch it, the time travel almost seems to be becoming secondary to the actual plot. The chemistry of the cast is great, the acting quite good and they reveal enough of the plot to keep you interested while keeping enough secret to keep you intrigued. I like this better than legends of tomorrow.

13 Reasons Why: 1x01 Tape 1, Side A

This took me completely by surprise. The first episode at least is so well done, the previously mentioned flashbacks flow seamlessly, something I often have criticism over is the way flashbacks often make aa show or movie disjointed or abrupt, not so in this case. I would really recommend checking this out, I am left hanging at the end of the episode for the next one, eager to follow the story.

The Flash: 3x17 Duet (II)

one of the best musical episodes of a regular show I have seen since the buffy musical episode. you're crazy if you skip this one.

No Tomorrow

On the surface a silly and meaningless show, however the great chemistry of the cast and the well thought out plots and subtle life meanings hidden between the jokes make this show a great watch.

Ransom

While I don't necessarily disagree with the negative posts about this show I still find it strangely compelling. It could have been so much more than it is though. One of those shows you need to judge for yourself I think. I certainly won't miss it when it ends, but I will keep up with it while its on.

Take Two

I am really enjoying this show I was a fan of Rachel Bilson in Hart of Dixie and Eddie Cibrian was great in Rosewood. This show reminds me a lot of the chemistry in Rosewood, light fun procedural (well investigative) show with poignant moments. I will definitely be keeping up with this one I hope it lasts more than a season so many new good shows get canned these days. :(

Every Day

I was not expecting this movie to be so good. It really shocked me how good it was. I expected it would be just another teen romance, it was so much more. And all the questions it makes you ask and consider it does it so well, without being condescending or contrite. It really makes you think in a good way. Thank you to everyone involved for making this movie as I would never have read the book it was based on and that would have been my loss.

The Orville

Quite enjoyable with a very strong star trek feel. sadly this feels more like star trek than star trek discovery, and is probably more enjoyable. Discovery is good in its own way but has no feeling of star trek to me at all. This show however has a very strong feeling of nostalgia, even though its a parody, or perhaps because its a parody.

Cardinal

I am really enjoying this crime/thriller/detective show. The cast are good and have decent chemistry. While the main plot is nothing extraordinary the subplots are what make this interesting to watch. Admittedly after the first episode I was not sure if it was worth continuing but as I have watched more and more, 5 episodes in now I am totally hooked.

Chicago Fire: 5x10 The People We Meet

very emotional episode, one of the best of this show.

Conviction

I am a huge fan of Hayley Atwell, and I think this show is a great role for her. I look forward to seeing more of this show, the first two episodes have kept me glued to the screen, I love the character development so far, I feel the character she plays is revealing herself to us like the many layers in an onion, just how a good lead should be.

Bull

I am a fan of Michael's and was sad to see him leave NCIS so I was excited to see him lead his own show, that said while its an ok show I too don't see much renew potential. The main character also seems rather isolated without any real connections to other characters, despite being surrounded by them, I am hoping that develops more as the show progresses.

Angie Tribeca

I tried but really struggled to get through a single episode. Highly not recommended. This stuff died in the 80's.

Star Trek Continues

This is an amazing and very worthy continuation of Star Trek TOS. Its hard to believe this is a fan production. Its 100% feels like real TOS. The performances by the actors and actresses are stellar, after the first episode I forgot that they were not the original actors. I was particularly impressed by Vic and the actor playing Spock. But I would be remiss not to mention all of the cast including guest stars in each episode. Every aspect of this production was professional and did not feel even a tiny bit amateur as you would expect and accept in a fan production.

I was sad to finish the series, but glad for the privilege.

Charmed: 1x01 Pilot

As a fan of the original series I found this episode very disappointing, As mentioned by others the feminists aspect is a deterrent, it feels forced and it just doesn't belong in this story. The feminist aspect should have been understated as in the original series, its already there without having to point it out constantly.

The jokes also felt poorly written and ill placed. The effects were bizarre and far from seemless. The effects were much better in the original series, again being understated, instead of being the focal point as they are (the demon is a perfect example)

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

The Boss Baby

Simple humour. Worth watching if you have free time, you won't miss it if you don't.

Passengers

I really enjoyed this movie, as previous posters have said its much more than a space romance. lee brown's comparison to Gravity meets Titanic meets Silent Running is very appropriate. It also raises some tough to answer questions about what you would do in their position.

No Tomorrow

I will miss this show if it is cancelled I have grown very attached to Evie and the gang. Fingers crossed it gets a renewal.

Making a Murderer

Guilt or innocence aside, this really does show how flawed the legal system in the US is. And I assume this is probably similar in most western countries. The lawyers must feel like they are fighting an uphill battle against a system which claims to presume innocense but clearly assumes guilt.

The Romanoffs: 1x01 The Violet Hour

I usually dislike foreign language movies/shows, but this is really worth watching. I was hooked pretty quickly, and recommend checking it out.

Doubt

I didn't mind this show I can see why they canclled it but really there are way worse shows that survive. It always perplexes me and 2 episodes seems like making a bet and then asking for your money back in fear when the race/game starts. I usually like to see 5-6 episodes before I really get my opinion made up.

Medici

The music is definitely praiseworthy and creates just the right mood and atmosphere.

As a period drama, fantasy show, historical inaccuracies aside, they don't claim its a documentary, this is quite a gripping show. In fact I like historical inaccuracies in these shows, without them and without the writers creating fiction, there'd be little suspense and no surprises. :)

Taken: 1x01 Pilot

great first episode, i like seeing him make mistakes the bryan mills we known would never make, as is appropriate for this time in his career. I'm looking forward to the rest of this season it will either be amazing or disappointing. I'm thinking it has the potential all the elements are there.

Hacksaw Ridge

This movie is simply amazing. Portraying the horror of war while honoring the sacrifice and courage of those who endured hell on earth so that others did not need to. Be prepared for an amazing emotional roller coaster.

A Nutcracker Christmas

This is a fantastic movie with a great plot that stands solid without the Christmas mention. I always love a Christmas movie that you can think would make a fantastic movie without the Christmas tie in. In fact for most of this movie I forgot it was a Christmas movie.

I am a huge fan of Amy Acker I think she is an underated actress and her performance here shows her versatility and does not disappoint. Check it out.

Emerald City

Interesting re-imagining of the Wizard of Oz, The first episode (double) felt a bit drawn out and the plot was a bit meandering. Hoping it improves, the lead actress seems good, some of the other acting is a little average. I was expecting more effects as it had been hyped up a lot but there were very few.
