If you're wondering about the air dates, then I have the answer. The moderator over at tvdb is a dinosaur and using his paper TVGuide dates. The proper air dates are posted at IMDb and the epix website.

His Dark Materials: 2x01 The City of Magpies

Wow. Lyra steps through that portal and ages 18 months and none of the characters seem to realize that they have all aged 18 months as well.

The Good Doctor: 4x14 Gender Reveal

I can't believe neither doctor stood to the side of or behind a patient that just had hip surgery. That's not an operational error, it's just common sense. Not to mention if she had hit her head, then the hospital would be facing a huge lawsuit.

The Peripheral: 1x05 What About Bob?

I wish they would stop trying to push the romantic subplot with Wilf and Flynn. They clearly have no chemistry and it adds little too the story.
I'm also failing to see why RI cares so much about stolen information in a stub. They can just as easily cause a devastating world war there and call it done.

For All Mankind: 3x10 Stranger in a Strange Land

Why was Karen at JSC? "Plot". Why did Molly Cobb need to be at JSC to tell Ed Baldwin how to fly the MSAM? "Plot". Why was Kelly Baldwin (NASA employee) breaking protocol by having unprotected intercourse and then carrying to term? "Plot".
This was a season full of poor writing and weak plot. I should have shut it off after the first few episodes.

For All Mankind: 3x09 Coming Home

NASA engineers having babies on Mars? Allowing someone with a very obvious mental condition into NASA? I barely made it through the last episode and 5 minutes into this episode and looks like more of the same.

Big Sky

I have to agree that this appears to be on par with what the CW puts out. I was hoping for a thrilling murder/abduction investigation. What I gleaned from the first episode is that this is a half-hearted attempt at bringing to light the presence of human trafficking. Unfortunately, there's just too many glaring holes in the reality of it all.

This was like a Stephen King adaptation, but a flawed one. Stories like this don't work in modern day. One glaring plot hole is how does nobody in this universe know what a vampire is?

Um, I'll say this, they shot Bev and had an entire wall of candles to knock to the ground and set that place ablaze...Not very intelligent are they.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

I gave this series a chance. I watched until episode 7. By now, it should be clear to all viewers that this was likely a thrown out project that may have started as a sequel to Godzilla 2014, but clearly developed into a CW teen drama. The title should be May: Legacy of the Randa love triangle aka next to nothing to do with Godzilla or monsters.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters: 1x07 Will the Real May Please Stand Up?

If the acting wasn't bad enough...This episode felt like it was added in after the fact and was done so by an intern. The dialogue felt forced and out of place. This is certainly no longer a series about Godzilla or monsters.

PLUTO

Incredible animation while sticking to the 90s era style. The story is an interesting one and even holds true to some modern day advances.

Pantheon: 2x08 Deep Time

Virtual Reality Implant? How did her body not decay? Fascinating "what-if" scenarios. Even if the science isn't accurately explained.

Great show if you don't mind animation. The series finale will blow your mind.

Invasion: 2x03 Fireworks

Anyone tells you're that they're a Navy Seal is most likely lying. Seals don't go around sharing that information. Also, Mom has car keys and leaves daughter in unlocked vehicle and windows down? SMH. Bend that boy over your knee already. Worst mother of the year.

Did they Sargeant? There has never been a Sargeant in the Navy. Ever. Every branch of the military knows that.

Hitori no Shita: The Outcast

Chinese/Japanese collaboration series with plenty of fighting, mystery, super powers, and a bit of martial arts mixed in. The first season animation isn't the best, but second is much better.

Haven: 2x07 The Tides That Bind

I have to wonder where the hell are these dozen or so police officers we keep seeing? They might as well deputize Duke at this point.

Haven: 2x07 The Tides That Bind

:joy: For someone that wants to help the town/city or Haven, Audrey is doing a poor job of it. Don't get me started on the "Chief" of police. This man has been assaulted and obstructed more times than I care to count. Also, when it comes to the abduction/safety of children, this country doesn't mess about. Nathan would have had that warrant on the spot. Not to mention, it would have been legal for Nathan to wait for backup and search the property while waiting for said warrant.

Haven

This show has such a warm cast of characters and a great performance from the female lead, Emily Rose. I believe that, unfortunately, there was network interference to spread this show out as long as possible. The reason being is that there is clearly a narrative here, but it takes a back seat to whichever "Trouble" is the highlight of the episode.

The problem I have with this being a police crime procedural is that the actual police are rarely even in the show. Nathan is anything but a detective/police officer. He claims to know all of the officers by their first name and yet never speaks to them. One other glaring mistake is that Nathan doesn't have a radio. In fact, nobody seems to know what one is in this city, er small town.

In short, if you're interested in a supernatural drama that you can have on in the background, then this is for you. There are also lots of allusions to Stephen King's works throughout. Don't take this one too seriously and you won't be disappointed.

Haven: 2x03 Love Machine

Perhaps I missed something, but I find it quite a stretch that Audrey didn't want to investigate those coordinates. Last season she was so adamant about finding out about her origins.

loading replies
Haven: 2x02 Fear & Loathing

It should be interesting to see next episode when Audrey finds out she doesn't actually exist either. I'm guessing that she and the missing Howard are from an alternate reality. Basing that on the fact that she has admitted to having memories of Quantico. Which you would think that she would be able to figure out by simply attempting to access an FBI building/database.

Haven: 1x09 As You Were

This episode reminded me why I dropped the show. People that grew up together couldn't sit down and figure out who was the imposter. Not to mention that 3 of them were "detectives". Still the actors have heart and really give their characters life. For that, I'll continue through the show and hope the writing improves.

Justified: City Primeval

This is not for fans of the original series. Raylan Givens' character does NOT fit in this setting at all. This is a cash grab plain and simple. The writers haven't "taken inspiration" from Elmore Leonard's novel. They have literally replaced the main character, a local detective, and replaced him with a US Marshal. Makes absolutely no sense and it's just garbage. Read the novel and skip the show.

The Witcher

The show has moments of greatness. The world of the Witcher, the characters, and the story are very interesting. However, this show plays like a summarization of the actual story. I wish that was actually presented before the show started. Instead you get a "based on "The Witcher" series" amidst the end credits. That is very "loosely" based as is clearly evident. Like many Hollywood adaptions, this one falls short. If you're looking to fill in all of the gaps, then please check out the novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

Hijack

This plot would have worked for a 2 hour movie. However, the show is asking the viewers to care about 1-dimensional characters. Wait until you discover the so-called motivation of the hijackers. Put this one on the back burner as there are far better options out there.

Sweet Tooth

The writing in the 2nd season is terrible. The events should have happened in a couple of episodes. Instead it was stretched out to 8 episodes. I can't believe they had the nerve to set it up for another season.

The Peripheral: 1x06 Fuck You and Eat Shit

Another awkward romantic moment between Flynn and Wilf. Also, isn't Flynn supposed to be helping locate Aelita? I suppose we'd lose half the cast, but the characters in the stub seem to be irrelevant at this point. I'm starting to think that Zubov isn't as smart as he claims.

The Peripheral: 1x06 Fuck You and Eat Shit

So he didn't lose his legs in combat? Kind of hard to feel sorry for someone that was messing around in a combat zone.

High Water

I quite enjoyed this. The show closely follows one family in particular and the pacing kept me engaged over the entire series. I'm not certain of the historical accuracy, however, I noticed that some of the footage was original/remastered.
