It's a really well done show. I just don't care about it. It's nothing they've done wrong. All the parts are there but Loki is just a character who is somehow less interesting than Iron Man or any of the avengers outside of Hulk preMCU. This is like the opposite of Hawkeye where there was a character I didn't like but the show was very engaging and made me care for it. Loki is ostensibly a better show, bigger budget, longer runtime, more big names in the cast but, ehh.
It's all well put together and in the end I just still don't care.
Not as good as the two other versions. But it was... okay at best.
There's a single episode I hate int his show. Everything else is perfectly fine.
As far as single season shows go. This was effective. Giving me but the natural and the supernatural and the surreal all at once. Pacing was great, the characters were fun and true to themselves to the bitter end. Lots of great teams in here. The sisters of the coin. The resistance a bunch of bros who are hyper masculine but somehow not toxic. It's got a good length to it. I could easily watch it again.
It's not exactly what I expected but I was a fan. My major criticism is that ironically the show focused so much on it's human characters that the epynonymous AI character "Mrs. Davis" sometimes doesn't show up for huge chunks of the show. Which honestly IS fine. It's just odd for a show called Mrs Davis. If the show had been named for Simone it probably wouldn't be a big deal. There's a lot of love in this show of all types and that's all right.
I don't know what the flying toaster MTV was doing when they made this. But it made me laugh. It's so quotable. I wish it had gotten two more seasons because too long and they would have tried to reach into the lore of the show but with two more seasons would really could have had more fun exploring the premise and the wackiness of the characters.
What started off a bit silly ended up being one of the greatest SciFi shows I've ever seen. It's a grand old time.

Hilarious cast, pound for pound I'd put Kims up against The Office for 2nd hand cringe. There are episodes I had to pause and come back to hours later. But I think Kims has some of the funniest cold openings that I'd put up against Brooklyn Nine-Nine which has somehow become the barometer for cold opens. Simu however was right. The characters could have used more growth and there were certainly a lot of room for it that just wasn't explored especially in the final two seasons.
Well worth watching. I think it had a sweet ending kind of a "See you tomorrow" saccharine adorable ending. Not so overly emotional like the ending to the big comedies where you cry as you see these characters off to their big life changes. This is more low key and it kinda works with the nature of the show.
They already made this show. That said I liked it so I'll give this a shot.
What a fun time and satisfying conclusion. Heck yeah the murder mystery genre is BACK!
All the twists and turns you want without any of the double crossing you get in the spy genre. All ending in a pretty solid conclusion.
As long as you're not the sort of person who is looking for the killer yourself You can sit back and watch our "bumbling... or is she?" detective do her interviews and drill down to the murderer complete with just enough tangles. I don't mind but I know some people really get annoyed when they can't follow along with the mystery and find the proof themselves. In this case the proof is so inconsequential I refuse to believe anyone would have noticed it on first watch. Yet it's not entirely inplausible that in the telling of the story that inconsistency didn't stick out.
A fun cast, a fun mystery. I mean seriously. How Great Is This Party?!?!?!
The most consistently laugh out loud comedy series I've ever seen. Every episode has had me bust out in full laughter. It's an utter delight of watching actors miss cues or forget lines or have props trigger incorrectly or often collapse. Something that successfully managed to never overstay it's welcome.
How long till producers realize we'll watch people date without giant gimmicks. Just bring back fifth wheel or Elimidate or something. Bring back Blind Date. Blind Date was amazing. Two people a date and plenty of vo snark. Sometimes they hit it off, sometimes they didn't and there wasn't the extreme pressure there is now in dating event shows.
alright here we go. This is the episode where the plotlines finally arcs off. The pilot was all hints but nothing to pull you back. This is the episode that matters. In the first episode Ed Helms' Nathan Rutherford is blinded by his own version of history suffers from what we refer to as white fragility. He can't take the idea that his dream gets overwhelmed by everyone else around him. Something most people who don't fit his demographic have to live with every day something that Regan point out to him this episode. Their relationship is interesting. Because they genuinely like each other as far as they're each concerned they're both being very good friends to each other. The show however goes lengths to show that this isn't really true. More importantly Regan herself begins to point that out to Nathan showing a good degree of self-awareness.
It's definitely going to be interesting seeing how far they take this both in terms of her relationship with Nathan and their relationships with their respective communities.
Black Jesus is an amazing show. I mean they named the nerdy kid from the suburbs Trayvon. Jesus keeps it hood but keeps it peaceful constantly stressing the need to believe in Pops. He's the type of character who will sling a rock to defend the homies but forgive the attacker and heal his wounds and have a 40oz for everyone. He's always entertaining.
Black Jesus contains one of the most accurate portrayals of Jesus of all time. He's kind, he cares about everyone. He biggest super power is that he loves you. You being everyone his homies, his enemies, his homies' enemies. His love is all encompassing even when he chews you out. It's one of the most impressionable and heartfelt series I've ever seen.
ahh and the scene remembers Chadwick. Star of many excellent pieces of media of which this isn't one.
To describe this hard to follow show would be to suggest it's darkly comic. But it's less comedic and more dark than any description can truly reach. It's tough and confusing but not unfair and not impossible to follow. It's a deliberate show as much as it is as cloudy show. It's great entertainment.
While technically it's based on a comic book comparing it to ANY of the superhero TV shows is unfair. This isn't a superhero show. You don't need to know anything about super heroes to follow along with this show. If you know what a "Mutant" is you're good to go. This is much closer to sci-fi anthology series like Twilight Zone and Outer Limits than any CW Superhero Show or Gotham or any of their ilk.
