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.

Walker

This is not a show for fans of the original Walker. The first episode was pretty boring. Hoping it picks up but Jared lacks the charisma Chuck Norris had, I found it hard to evoke any interest in what happened. If this was a new show that wasn't using the name walker to attract people, I doubt I'd watch episode 2. But I'll give it a shot to see if it improves, ironically though the best part of the show after the first episode is the name.

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.

Shots Fired

After watching the pilot I wouldn't really recommend this. It had potential but there is very little chemistry between the main characters and I found nothing to like about the main male actor at all. The female lead was a lot better but still not amazing. I won't be continuing to watch this even though the premise had be quite interested.

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.

A Veteran's Christmas

If you don't shed a few tears during this one you're not very human. Very well written story with great cast.

Doctor Who: 11x03 Rosa

This was a great episode. I must say I am not enamored by the new Doctor Who though, I have nothing against her being female, I was excited by that, but I find her performances feel very forced and not at all natural, almost like she is trying too hard. I am hoping that she will grow into the role. That said this episode was so well written and acted. And the supporting cast is amazing.

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 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.

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. :(

Deception: 1x13 Transposition

I really enjoyed this show it always perplexes me why such good shows get cancelled while shitty ones go on and on. It is a bit painful that was seems to have been written as a season cliffhanger kind of ruins the end of the show but I assume thats the fault of the network cancelling not the writers.

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.

Scorpion: 4x22 A Lie in the Sand

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

Stargate Origins

I do not like the 10 minute format, but always love some stargate. I hope this leads to something else be it movies or a series. Ellie Gall is fairly good as Catherine, though I find it a bit hard to believe the german soldiers would be so lacking in any indications of intelligence. The one left to guard her didn't seem like he was capable of tying his own shoelaces.

Goodbye Christopher Robin

This certainly changed my perspective when I think of Winnie the Pooh now, I grew up with Pooh thinking how cool to be Christopher Robin. I guess I had that very wrong. I liked this movie. Though part of me wishes I had never seen it, as I will never be quite so happy when I think of Winnie the Pooh.

Bull: 2x03 A Business of Favors

I do like this show but this episode was one of the weakest the plot I have seen many times on procedural shows. Perhaps was a bit of a downer after the previous episode which was really good.

Howards End

I am a fan of Hayley Atwell and Philippa Coulthard. I have only watched one episode so far but I will definitely follow with more. Its no Downton Abbey but it has potential.

The Humanity Bureau

Very low budget (I hope) movie with a fairly boring and completely predictable story line. There was so little emotion or grit in this, which is exactly what I expected to be in this. It was watchable but only just barely.

Wisdom of the Crowd: 1x06 Trojan Horse

This was the best episode so far. I like this series, hopefully it doesn't get cancelled as these techy shows often do. But this one really played on my heartstrings. I like this show the most when it dispenses with the background crap over copyrights and ownership and focuses on great stories such as this episode.

Destination Truth

As a huge fan of Expedition Unknown I decided to watch a few episodes of this for some more Josh Gates goodness. Its definitely not as polished or planned as expedition Unknown, but I expected that being an older show I would hope they had improved since then. I have enjoyed the episodes so far, although I wish there was a bit more time spent explaining the legends or mythology and a little less blind blundering about in the dark blair witch style. I still would recommend this show if you enjoy Josh Gates or this style of show.

Tin Star

Quite surprised me this show, I have just watched the first episode and thought much like Cam Lock that it was just like a bunch of other shows but the last scenes (without spoilers) hooked me totally. If the rest lives up to that I will enjoy this show.

Young Sheldon: 1x01 Pilot

This show surprised me. I was expecting more Big Bang Theory but it is much different. While it has plenty of elements to make it feel familiar it strangely reminded me more of the wonder years I guess its the style of an older version of the character narrating? ie Kevin Arnold telling his story, Sheldon telling his story.

There feels to be some similar feeling with the two fathers from the different shows as well.

I say this not as any form of criticism, as I was a huge fan of the wonder years, and I enjoyed the first episode of Young Sheldon as well. Though I fear I am showing my age a little and a lot of people will not see the similarities.

Wonder Woman

I expected to be disappointed. Having grown up with Wonder Woman and expecting another re-imagining, but this movie was amazing. They captured the essence of classic wonder woman in a fantastically produced modern movie. The casting was fantastic, the chemistry amazing, I wish all modern superhero movies were so good.

The Great Wall

This movie was strange. It felt like at any moment it would become amazing but it never got there. I think the performances by the cast were good you could see they put effort into their roles I just don't think the plot and writing was quite good enough to make it shine. I did love the costume designs and the premise. I gave it a 9 as I did enjoy it but I felt this was a movie that could easily have been a 10 but just fell over before the finish line.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Amazing movie. Aside form the fantastic chemistry and great character development, the pretty decent plot the music is what takes this movie from good to fantastic. Its also an emotional ride with a lot of well written and scripted jokes to poignant moments of emotional bonding and sadness.

Highly recommended. One of the top marvel movies to date.

Simply amazing. Completely captured the essence of the original animation movie with a great cast, good chemistry and tears to boot.

Rosewood: 2x22 Blistering Heat & Brotherly Love

If this was a season finale it was very good. If it ends up being the show finale it will be very disappointing. I hope that it gets renewed for season 3.

The Arrangement: 1x01 Pilot

I didn't expect I would enjoy this but I found the story strangely compelling. Christine Evangelista's performance is quite good and probably what kept me watching. I am not sure about the chemistry between her and Josh Henderson but I will keep watching to see how it goes.
