Hannibal Season 3 – The Gorgeous End to an Inconvenient Bro-mance
[Spoilers avoided as much as possible but not completely guaranteed to be missing] I am pretty sad to say goodbye to Hannibal. It took me a while to get into this show due to its excessive violent and yet I … Continue reading
TV Series: Game of Thrones S05 (2015) – Epic but perhaps too much
[SPOILER ALERT! There may be a few spoilers below so reader beware] Now don’t get me wrong, I found Game of Thrones to be extremely entertaining this season. There were some epic scenes which I will not soon forget – … Continue reading
TV Series: Gotham S01 (2014-2015) – Not bad for a Bruce Wayne backstory
Although it felt incredibly long and slightly unhinged at points, overall Gotham was a pretty solid show in the superhero genre. I will admit to a bit of frustration in that Bruce Wayne is too young to be Batman and … Continue reading
TV Series: Agent Carter S01 (2015) – A great take on this awesome female character
For once, the female lead gets to be fully fleshed out with no pity and little gravitas. Agent Carter is just 100% badass with no apologies. OK, yes, she is still madly in love with the (for now) lost Cap’n … Continue reading
Mad Men S07 Part 2 (2015) – The end of an era and Don 2.0
[CAVEAT EMPTOR: SPOILERS AHEAD] Well, that happened. After 7 seasons over 9 years and 92 episodes, Mad Men took a bow and vanished into TV history on Sunday night. I thought that this last season was very strong and in … Continue reading
Transparent (2014) – Amazon’s Entry into the TV Drama Scene is a Rousting, Mind-bending Success
It took me a little bit of time to fully dive into Transparent, but Jeffrey Tambour’s performance was so incredible and all the writing was so perfect that I thoroughly enjoyed it end to end. What I especially appreciated is … Continue reading
Rick and Morty S1 (2014) – Deliriously Incredible Must-See Cartoon
OK, so perhaps those with strict moral codes and closed minds should avoid Rick and Morty because it tends to draw WAY outside the lines. But if you enjoy to be pushed the the limits of your imagination and moral … Continue reading
The Blacklist S02 (2014, 2015) – Fed up with Lizzie
I really liked The Blacklist S01. I really like James Spader’s Reddington (and the Red aspects of his Ultron), but this second season seemed a bit slipshod. It seemed to go on forever and repeat the tired themes of, Oh … Continue reading
Better Call Saul S01 (2015) – The Back Story of Slipping’ Jimmy
It was probably really hard to make a followup to the epic Breaking Bad. Despite the high expectations and lower stakes, Better Call Saul delivered an interesting story told with the same high quality camera work and incredible writing not … Continue reading
TV Series – Davedevil (2015) – Perhaps the best superhero TV so far
[As usual, I will try to avoid spoilers…] Marvel is on a hot streak and with the highly anticipated (but potentially disappointing) Avengers 2 on the horizon, they teamed up with Netflix and cast the convincing Charlie Cox as Matt … Continue reading
