A great season as previously. Honestly the only thing that's really unbelievable in this show, is that in a world where everyone gets powers, that Jen is the only one who is trauma blocked. So many people get traumatized by the big and small challenges of life. The idea that no one figured out it was trauma until now is unlikely.
That's honestly my only nitpick with the season. It's a great season. I've read this is one of the best superhero shows and I'd disagree with that. It's not a superhero show. It's a comedy that takes place in a superhero environment at best and even that would be overstating it imo. Unlike say Boko No Hero Academia or Powers there's really no superheroing to be found.
I didn't like all the changes but they're all reasonable. They're all within character and they're all funny. It's eight episodes of great television. I'll see you next year for the third series.
A long week. Shorter with some new players but still good works.
One episode in I thought it was a pretty good show. Two episodes in I was hooked. The cast is great. Idris is of course legendary from the jump. Indira Varma I kinda love in everything. Ruth Wilson wasn't that interesting in the first episode but honestly I was very surprised to see her come back in episode 2. She grew on me rather quickly.
It ends with a pretty strong gutpunch. It knocks Luther back even harder and what a thing it is to see.
I think Bloodlines was a more ambitious show. Bloodlines is a show that took fantasy creatures like Vampires and elevated them in a way that you just don't see.
Another great season. It really steps up the emotional component of Jack Reacher which isn't something I didn't know I needed, wanted or was willing to tolerate.
That was a well paced, well acted, decently CGI'd TV show that somehow I couldn't care less about. Supremely watchable but I just never invested. Somehow I was more invested in Season 1 and I think this might be a slight bump in quality. Maybe. Arguably. They're both very very solid seasons of TV. This one even has an excellent ending
I'm SHOCKED these are 30 minute episodes. It felt like an extended webseries. In the sort of light and airy sense. It was a really fun show that managed to successfully showcase a world full of superpowers and really backseat the powers. An enjoyable time and I hope we get a second season.
This season starts off with Harry coming back to earth and taking up a new mission. It ends after much revelations and much humor with a shift in every major character towards the otherworldly. And a few new characters as well.
The season has great flow well worth the watch.
A fun series that doesn't overstay it's welcome. It's clever enough. that despite a rough first episode and some weaknesses in production you can have a good time.
Welp. Been waiting on this for ages and I'm finally dipping into Atlanta. I will say I think the show so far is slightly over hyped. But it's still a well done show. A lot of it doesn't really speak to me directly but I wasn't that dude even when I lived in Atlanta and neither were my boys. But yeah I do get that ATL lifestyle from the show. And narratively it's interesting on it's own merit. These characters like Devi in Never Have I Ever don't make great choices but that's certainly their appeal.
I guess what they say is true. I haven't seen this show in probably a decade. I'm not saying I'm surprised at how problematic the entire conceit of the show is. I remember that being one of the aspects I remember most about the show. I was surprised at how pretentious the show was. It's not awful in that respect but when it shows it's too wildly cheesy. So pseudo intellectual moments just stand out.
A successfully charming period piece about well dressed children and non linear thinking. Heck the only thing that could have made it better was if there was locked room murder to be solved.
This season was a good time. This is a deep mystery that knows what it is. It is well paced and has nice tension. While there is a strong tension in the series it doesn't spend time twisting and turning around before ultimately revealing the truth. Instead they just work their way methodically and forward getting better and better until the final kill. Solid time.
There are some fun highlights in this season but it's mostly a confusing nonsensicle mess that has no cohesiveness to it. Motivations don't make sense. Actions and results don't make sense. No one bothered to try to explain the world we're in and the rule that govern it. It's so bad I was shocked to find out season 5 is premiering soon. I tried multiple times but Season was is worse than so many bad shows I watch. I mean even Z-Nation managed to explain the rules of their world. It was mostly stupid rules but it's not a show that takes itself very seriously so comes off fine. This was just grossly negligent.
Good tight season. Compelling story. Can't wait to read the book.
Rewatching Series 1 yet again it's just a standout season filled with characters and situations. It's a theme that will repeat itself throughout the show but these kids aren't heroes. They don't make good decisions. Whether it's Nathan antagonizing everyone with his lack of impulse control or poor broken Simon who will do literally anything for a friend. It's a top notch series with a unexpected ending.
I think Season 4 is a good final season. It has the same issues that previous seasons did (minus the particularly unreasonableness of Season 2) but it doesn't do a lot special to end imo. As a final season it does hit a lot of emotional beats that previous seasons can't. There's some really good twists in the last two episodes and a decent red herring or two. It's good TV but it's not what I'd call "Best of" TV. I think this season is overhyped, a little bit not a lot. But a little bit. Even without the hype though it's solid Mr. Roboting with a satisfying conclusion and after Lost I always appreciate a satisfying conclusion.
Wow. What a surprise. This is one of the shows I was least looking forward to. What a surprise. It's one of the most laugh out loud comedies I've seen in years. The pace is frentic without being obnoxious. Kaley does a VERY solid job as Harley. I don't like Pink/Blue Harley. I'm all about the classic Red/Black. So no I don't like her outfit. But ya know what that's so overlookable when you consider the totality of the show. I do absolutely LOVE Poison Ivy's costume. I love their relationship. It's a great season.
Not the biggest fan of the ending but I also didn't hate it. It was a fun ride and it did something new with the GHD formula which I liked. It added a second person. Talk about co-dependence ehh?
I love AoS against all odds because I in general hate everything about SHIELD as an organization in comics, movies and even TV. But Season 5 of AoS is one of the best comic based seasons of television even with the flaws it hate on the back end. The show had a premise that was weak featured an organization I hate, and opened with bigger ideas than writing. But honestly it's pretty great as a whole and I have no trouble recommending it to anyone. But I'd be happy if they start prepping for the end properly because I don't want this to go cliffhanger to cancellation.
