The Witcher: Blood Origin

guess what, it's awful. the story makes less sense the more it goes on, and it goes on for four hours. just switch off your brain and let it wash over you until the next proper season drops (whenever that happens!)

Beacon 23

it's got sloppy dialogue, muddled motivations and a diverse intersectional cast. this is 100% written by an AI because NOTHING makes sense and NOTHING is explained. 2 episodes in and i'm none the wiser.

Fear the Walking Dead: 8x12 The Road Ahead

good riddance to bad rubbish. how it lasted 8 seasons is a real mystery because the writing was the worst i’ve ever seen

Station Eleven: 1x09 Dr. Chaudhary

the best episode of any series i've seen in a long time. the rest of the episodes so far are hit and miss. this one hits it out of the park.

Avenue 5: 1x01 I Was Flying

Is this supposed to be a comedy because I didn’t laugh once. It’s got that wry humor that’s more sarcastic and unnecessary than actually funny. That leaves what exactly? Good actors trying to muddle their way through green-screen sets with a pointless premise-of-the-week. It won’t appeal to scifi fans because its feels fluffy and it won’t appeal to earthers because its set in space. In short it’s a colossal misfire that I imagine will be rectified by a swift cancellation or new writers. Avoid like the plague got an STD.

The Tourist

entertaining for the first four episodes but fell off the cliff in the final two. the final episode is particularly poor.

The 100: Season 6

quite possibly the most brainless series currently on TV. their trick is to cover the same storylines with the same core group of actors. then once that's done they do the same thing again but in a different place. its bad, it's always been bad and i imagine it always will be bad. its too dumb to be called escapism and just popular enough to avoid getting cancelled. if you like soap-operas that require you to switch your brain off then this is the show for you. you have been warned.

i think they blew the budget on the first three episodes where the location is the ISS and the design is simply spectacular. the rest of the episodes seem to be fairly wordy (and Earthbound) with a view to gradually solving the 'mystery'. if you know anything about Quantum theory then this is the show for you. otherwise you will be scratching your head! either way a show centering on Quantum theory seems an unlikely choice of subject matter and may prove to be ultimately unentertaining. The lead Noomi Rapace's acting seems noticeably wooden and more than a little annoying.

Walker

quite possibly the worst show on TV. the worst performances, the worst storylines, the worst character ‘arcs’, as well as a Texas Ranger that acts like he's new out of the academy. Its pitiful stuff. car-crash TV for the curious.

an awful addition to this seasons schedule. nothing about this show rings true. it's slow, its very silly and it downright insults your intelligence. watch at your own risk.

Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver

Rebel Moon 2 didn’t disappoint because it was as bad as I expected. It’s so derivate and unoriginal that its remarkable it got past execs at Netflix. I can only conclude that Netflix have fired their quality control department and have told filmmakers to “never mind the quality, feel the length”. Ultimately it's just fodder and only suitable if you disengage your brain and watch with one eye whilst doing something else that's more important. Do yourself a favor and go watch "Seven Samurai" or "The Magnificent Seven" because they shit all over this tripe.

Elsbeth: 1x01 Pilot

this has shades of Columbo and Monk. amusing.

The Curse

nine episodes wondering whether there is or not a 'curse' only for it to be introduced in the finale. there were far too many repetitive episodes and the whole thing could have been 3-4 episodes frankly. everyone is unlikable and there are no sympathetic characters. ultimately quite a grating and pointless experience. surely this is a single season show?

more tripe from the Disney AI machine. awful greenscreen acting, childish storylines, bloated episodes and padding aplenty. other than basement dwelling man-children, who exactly is clamouring for more Star Wars? the IP has been run into the ground; time to let it die with the little dignity it has left

Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches

as much as it tries, it fails to engage on pretty much every level. people's motivations are muddled and the protagonist wonders around in a state of perpetual dreamy confusion. the narrative is all over the place and it’s difficult to see where the story is going. essentially the show comes across as incoherent nonsense moving at a snail’s pace. where's the fun in that? (after 4 episodes)

in case anyone is interested there are apparently 10 episodes in season one. every website (including this one) seems to indicate 6 for some reason....

Walker

I’ve stuck with this for 9 episodes but I can’t watch any more and am bailing forthwith.

this is not an action show in any sense of the word. It very much a woke family drama with the occasional slice of action. A totally different impression is given from the promos.

They stories are haphazard and difficult to invest in and the lead is supposed to be a Texas Ranger, but one who spends most of his time getting drunk and acting like an absolute clown. Furthermore his whole family seem to be ‘wayward’ in the interests of drama! The only redeeming character is his new partner who acts like she’s the one who’s been working as a Ranger for years while he’s the ‘new boy’.

It’s very very silly and aimed for an undemanding viewership. I can no longer tolerate any more of this tripe so I’m out

Emergence: Season 1

After a couple of promising initial episodes, the show has started to tank rapidly. the premise is becoming silly and the police procedures concerning the ‘mystery’ are laughable. I fully expect this to get cancelled at season-end despite the presence of Clancy Brown. A dud

a rare misstep from Waco O'Guin. it uses the the same template developed in Brickleberry and Paradise PD but leave outs one important thing - humour. its wacky & strange but just not funny. (I presume they've cancelled the rather excellent Paradise PD in favour of this tripe)

As the final season beckons, the writers have the tricky task of actually working towards a sensible ending instead of the regular end-of-season reboot we’ve become accustomed to in recent years.
Of course its going to be dogs dinner, but just how many barrels can these writers scrape? For the answer to that and lesser mysteries you’re just going to have to endure the final 13 episodes of cheesy acting, poor dialogue and an unhealthy spattering of post-apocalypse chic.
