Season 1 was all about foundation building and they did a fantastic job of that and giving me a real reason to care about the characters and the story unfolding. I would like to see a bit more action in the next season but Season 1's incredible balance, great character development, and compelling story make this one of TV's most promising super hero shows yet.
This season felt a bit off pacing wise (and not just due it's disjointed nature) and I didn't find myself clamoring for the next episode like I was in the first season, but it progressively got stronger towards the end with some great scenes and their best season finale yet, leaving me re-energized and excited to see what will unfold in Season 4.
Season 1 was a very strong introduction to the unique characters and wild world that make up Preacher. The strong balance between its humor, violence, and serious religious themes make this another must watch AMC series. Sensitive, religious, P.C. types need not apply though.
If you haven't seen Rick and Morty yet, you're missing out on the smartest show on TV because it seems like one of the dumbest. Time travel, organized religion, and aliens, oh boy!
Check out some of Comic-Con's most talked about and interesting new film and TV trailers like Ready Player One, Justice League, Bright, Seasons 2 of Preacher, Westworld, and Stranger Things, and much much more.
This season is more enthralling, more cinematic, has more creatures from the ‘upside down’ dimension, and retains its spectacular visual effects, but the writing does leave some major plot holes and a certain amount of illogical circumstances. Hopefully in Season 3 they'll flesh out some of the newer character additions a bit.
Season 1 of The Gifted was a seriously flawed first season that still showed a lot of flashes of promise, especially in the back third. If they can build off of those great moments, add more levity, and ease off the caricatures then it can truly grow into something special, a la Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
All in all, The Strain has always been a mixed bag of good and bad and season 4 is no different. In terms of pacing, story telling, and character building, it was definitely the weakest season of them all but in a world where we rarely get proper endings to series, they did a more than serviceable job of tying up loose ends and giving the characters that needed it, proper endings.
Check out some of this past weeks most talked about and interesting film trailers like Chappaquiddick, Wild Wild Country, Flint Town, Marvel's Jessica Jones, Wreck-It Ralph 2, and more.
After 2 years spent largely in limbo, the critically acclaimed show will wrap up this fall with a musical TV movie.
Season 1 of Netflix and Marvel's The Punisher was a step back in the right direction for both companies. They managed to finish the story they started in Daredevil, introduce a great new character in Micro, and show a whole different side to The Punisher than we've ever seen before. However, I hope in Season 2 we get a lot more Punisher and a lot less Frank Castle and more action sequences that can match the high mark left from Season 2 of Daredevil.
Why would a business that has made so much money running full seasons at a time switch to a model in which some of those shows air on a weekly basis?
Season 2 of Preacher improves upon everything you loved about Season 1 and cranks the craziness up to an even greater level. It's as funny and as sharp as ever thanks to some phenomenal writing, acting, and dialogue that keeps things grounded even in a world as outlandish as this one. In short, Season 2 of Preacher is some of the best TV I've seen in the past 5 years and it's a show that everyone should be talking about.
Riverdale is everything that shouldn't work together...working together in a way that is so wrong, yet oh so right. In a world where cable TV often seems like a wasteland littered with reboots and spin offs (and on occasion a totally original show), Riverdale is a uniquely original and totally welcome addition.
'Billions' began with a very simple premise: Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Damien Lewis) is a billionaire financial whiz who runs a hedge fund called Axe Capital and Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) is the U.S. attorney out to put him away. But there’s much much more to it than that. 'Billions' may not be the best show on TV, but it’s certainly the most entertaining.
Season 1 of The Defenders should have been a fun, hard-hitting romp that delivered on years of build up in a big way that would shape the Marvel/Netflix cinematic universe for years to come. Unfortunately what we got was a soulless, plodding season that under delivered in just about every way possible. Time to bring on The Punisher.
True Detective Season 1 got us hooked on its plot twists and mystery, but it didn't do anything beyond that. True Detective Season 2 is where Pizzolato's talent for writing dark, melancholic and deeply human noir unfurls. Just like in his debut novel Galveston.
While streaming services do tend to perpetuate the argument that millennials and generation Z-ers require media delivered to them immediately rather than waiting, I also think that the quality of content also happens to be better because it’s smarter.
Season 4 of Vikings had by far the weakest story line out of all the seasons focusing too much on all the 'others' when they're not half as interesting as Ragnar. However, I still loved the world they've built and the big battle sequences are still some of the best out, but some big game changing moments have left me a little worried for the future of the show.
Season 1 of Westworld was as engrossing an opening season as I've ever seen. The production was movie worthy, the acting was superb, and the world building was spectacular. It was a thoughtful season that presented large existential themes and a world where everything resided in the far more interesting and far more realistic grey area. Some of the twists and outcomes may have been telegraphed, but it was one hell of a ride to the end. Simply amazing.
