Lisbon, Lisbon

Around the World in 80 Days

A brilliant adaptation of the classic with some twists that in my opinion do not harm the history. I would go as far as it improves it, but again that is just my opinion.

It is for me the best adaptation I've seen of Jules Verne's book. The characters are well cast, so if you like adventure, drama and a little comedy don't miss this show.

The Regime

Really disappointed with it. Maybe I had too many expectations. Probably will appease some people for the novelty. For me it was really boring and too absurd, but without the humor (at least for me).

I usually don't spend time talking about the shows I don't like, but I was really hoping for this one. I couldn't even finish the first episode.

Justified: City Primeval

This is great news for us Justified fans. Can't wait, hope it's as good as the original show.

Mayor of Kingstown

Another Tyler Sheridan show. After Yellowstone success he's in demand, and that's a good thing imo.
He's new show 1883 is about to be released, so he will have 3 running tv shows of hight quality.
If you like some criminal drama, mixed with some dark grit plot lines, don't miss this one.

One of Us Is Lying

I don't understand why people do this. This had a awful rating months before the pilot aired.

Anyway I liked it, reminded me a lot of the 80's type of Teenager movies. It seems to be a mix of "Breakfast club" meets "I know what you did last summer".

Give this one a watch and see if you are entertained.

Solos

So saw 3 ep. but it was too much for me. Great actors and great performances though. It's different so might get a big following. For me I'm calling quits on episode 3 and removing from track.

Debris

Well will need to see more episodes to see if this is going to be awesome for me. It's a mix of Fringe with X-Files. Hopefully keeps getting better.

Superman & Lois

wow... maybe it was because I had so low expectations for this show, bit this first episode was really good (in my opinion). I had given up on the CW/DC bit this might bring me back. Hope they keep it good like this.

WandaVision

I can relate some not having liked the first episodes. But have you never read a comic before? Many times the story starts messy and confusing and then it starts to unravel in future comics. They are doing the same here. So give it a try or do like some friends of mine do with The Mandalorian, they wait for the entire season to air and then binge it.

I'm loving it, of course you can never please everyone, but if you love Marvel comics and the Marvel movies you will end up loving this, trust me.

As usual the show wasn't released and had five 1* votes.
Anyway this is a fresh take on the 87's movie with Michael Douglas and Glenn Close.
It's told in a retrospect kind of way (seems to be the only way they write shoes nowadays) but it's not hard to follow.

They released 3 episodes which I think was smart and allows you to get involved with the plot if you liked the pilot.
Good cast and I really enjoyed the first episodes.

If you like a thriller and haven't seen the 1987 movie do see this. If you seen the movie but like me you are a sucker for a fresh look on an oldie, give it a shot.

Edited for typos.

The Peripheral

Another good show from Amazon. So far some of my favorite shows are from Amazon, Reacher, Thr Boys, The terminal List, Jack Ryan, Wheel of Time and Rings of Power.

The Peripheral just become one of those. Based on a great sci fi book and with good actors and a good adaptation (in my opinion). If you like sci fi and action don't miss it, at least the first two episodes were awesome.

The Patient

20m episodes... Why?

Anyway it's a good start, but will be painful to wait a week for a 20m episode...

Station Eleven

I love the concept of the story and loving the characters.
I like how the story is developing, but the constant jumps are trying. I understand it was a success in a movie and then in a show and now everyone does the same, it's really annoying imo.

all in all it kept me wanting to see more, so I hope it keeps getting better.

Reacher

Can't wait for this. Although I'm a bit worried about Nick Santora being behind it, I really don't like the way most of his shows are run, but I absolutely love their pick for Reacher. It still hurts me to think Tom Cruise was Reacher...

The Last of Us

Excellent start. The first episode rocked, can't wait for the rest of them.

I think this will be one of the best TV shows of this year.

The Rookie: Feds

I don't love the lead actor, think she's annoying, but the rest of the cast is great and I guess they know that since they keep bringing The Rookie actors to interact.
I'll keep watching, but I have some doubts this will be pick up for a second season.

Marcia and Skylar are awesome in this.

Each season keeps getting better imho. This first episode of season 3 was a hell of a ride.

1883

People keep voting without any episode is out, is kind of ignorant.

That said, I'm really happy about this and can't wait to see it. It's from Sheridan who's the mind behind Yellowstone, one of my favorite shows. The trailer looked good.

Guilty Party

Again weeks before this show aired two people had already gave 1 and 2 *, really wish this would stop.

Anyway it's a decent show about a fallen journalist and the story that can bring her back.
I liked how the first episodes brought us into the story and I do like the characters. If you like crime/drama with some light hearted comedy give this one a try.

Intergalactic

I wanted to like it. But making a SCI FI that has all this cutting edge tech and yet haven't gotten a way to neutralize a criminal on the run? Don't have a polygraph test so they could use it to determine culpability?
Unfortunately the storyline is really weak.

Shadow and Bone

Well I'm loving it. I was afraid it was another disappoing show from Netflix, like The Irregulars, oh boy was I wrong.
From the acting to the scenarios you get pulled in to the story. I hope you all love this as much as I'm loving it.

The Undoing

Great Tv show. Hopefully we see more quality stories like this from HBO, instead of trying to milk seasons with dumb stories.
The finale was perfect.

Moonbase 8

Expected much better from the names involved and Showtime.
Barely made me laugh, most episodes I dozed off and was so weak that I didn't even felt the need to go back.
A pitty since I love this guys.

Sugar

I am not a Colin fan. I don't like most of his films. Yet I found this show great.

I discovered it by chance. I was waiting for the Parish tv show with Esposito to drop, saw the first episode and hated it, so without a show to watch I looked at what other new shows were available. Enter Sugar, and what a treat I was in for.

Loved the premise, it was really well written and Colin's usual stressed demeanor fits like a glove to this character. Loving this so far 3 episodes in, can't wait for the rest. ATV does have great shows.

The Gentlemen

Absolutely brilliant tv show by Guy Ritchie. Sometimes he hits the mother load, sometimes he misses it by a mile. This one is, in my opinion, an eagle eye shit. Nice place, a nice script with many twists and an absolute kick ass cast. Hope they come up with more seasons.

Elsbeth

Maybe because I didn't know anything about this show, and because of that I had no expectations. But I loved it.

This is a spin off of the Good Fight, and that was a spin off of the Good Wife. I hope people like this and the show keeps getting good. The King couple did it again in my book, a great TV Show.

Wild Cards

It's a fun show, in the molds of Castle or Bones (which they are referenced in the first episode).

Good pace and a fun script. As someone already wrote, this isn't going to win awards, but will entertain you.

Fargo

Loved every season, but this season 5 is building up to be a great one. Absolutely love the characters.
I hope they keep. coming up with more Fargo seasons.

Reacher

Season 2 has started and the first episode gets you straight in the chin like a Reacher jab.
Great start, keep them coming.

Allan keeps doing an amazing job as Major Jack Reacher.
