| Here are some of mine! 1) Fargo S2 An awesome cast of characters with enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. With one episode remaining, I’m not sure in which direction it will take but if the last season was any indicator, blood shed will ensue. 2) Hannibal S3 Possibly the darkest entry yet with a plethora of creative imagery and visceral plot turns. As always Will and Hannibal shared great chemistry. It was fun watching the power plays and the direction of how their relationship was explored. Dolderhryde was a beast, giving some of the most haunting scenes the series has to offer. 3) Black Sails S2 Delving into Flints past, we were given a entirely new take on him. Sex, violence and cunning schemes made for a swashbuckling adventure. Each character felt important this time around, making everyones lives feel like they were at stake. 4) Mr. Robot If I had to name the best actor in a television drama this year it would have to be Rami Malek. He gave an outstanding performance as Elloit Alderson as an antisocial computer programmer and vigilante hacker. 5) Game of Thrones S5 I know some people didn't like the changes from the book, but I personally didn’t mind them. Cersei had some great moments and over at the night watch things started to grow larger in scale. While it wasn't quiet epic as the previous season, it was still loads of fun. Honourable Mentions: • Penny Dreadful S2 • Better Call Saul • Narcos • Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell • Daredevil • True Detective S2 |
| 1. Gotham Haven't really seen a lot of Season 2 but so far it looks very, VERY promising. (Only saw the 1st episode of Season 2) 2. Once Upon a Time season 5 It's still good but now it's feeling a bit too repetitive. Why is Mr. Gold a bad guy again? Why can't he just have a happy ending like the rest of the characters? The only good thing about the new change is Peter Pan coming back. 3. blackish Season 2 My two favorite characters in this show are Pops and Charles. I liked the patriarch of the family because Pops is an old-school con man with plenty of tricks and techniques up his sleeve. He's mainly in this show to give some eccentric advice to the other characters, to put the fear of God in those who do the wrong thing, and to wittily comment on their dumb actions of other characters (mostly those of the MC). Also, Laurence Fishburne has always been an actor that simply exudes cool. And then there's Charles. To describe Charles as an oddball is a tremendous understatement. From his first appearance, you could tell there's something a little off about Charles and you could never really figure out what was wrong with him. Actor Deon Cole put everything he had in developing Charles into a character that stood out from the rest, from his humorously disturbing backstories to his questionable parenting tactics, from his unexplained animosity towards a little girl named Diane (one of the show's characters) to his bizarre pieces of advice for the MC, and even the way his eyes look as enlarged as that of a crazy person. The point is, Charles gave blackish something special, an air of silly, over-the-top goofiness that it really needed. In the episode before blackish's winter finale, Charles leaves the show and Wanda Sykes enters as the control freak boss Daphne. Unlike Charles, Syke's character has no interesting trait, no charisma, no passion, and (worst of all) isn't funny at all (the most unforgivable crime for a cast member of a comedy). In short, blackish lost something with Charles gone and what was once an above-average study of an African-American family with a humorous outlook has become a stilted, by-the-book program designated to squeeze the life out of its audience. Not even Pops can save this piece of trash now. |
| Great topic for conversation! I'll try to be brief with my choices Daredevil S1: For me I had a lot of hope for this show's first season and it delivered. It was very action-packed, aggressive and violent, though it was also a crime drama with very intimate stories for some of the key characters involved. While the first season wasn't perfect, it had great performances, awesome fight choreography and one of the new finest villains in the MCU in the form of Wilson Fisk. Master of None S1: I went into this show with mild expectations, but by the end of it I was really in love with it. This was a comedy that had its humour, but also had very realistic stories and issues for the main character to go through with its views on relationships, family, work and many other things which are dealt with in an engaging and emotional way. Blindspot (so far): I ddin't expect much from this show but was hyped to see it because of Jaimie Alexander, but luckily the show ended up being more engaging than I was lead to believe. There is a gimmick to the show with the whole tattoo thing, but there are a lot more interesting, corrupt and mysterious aspects that keep the show from getting boring. I'm also really loving Star Wars Rebels S2, The Flash S2, Agents of SHIELD S3 & South Park S19. |
| This year, I don't think I've liked many TV shows. But Mr.Robot definitely stood out. It had the best pilot episode I've ever seen. I liked it so much that I kept re-watching it until the show started weeks later. It became one of my favorite TV shows and I can't wait for a sequel. Amazing casting, Malek's acting is so on point and fits Eliot character so much, what I especially liked was the subtle details of his facial expression and body language, he really nailed the character down and you could tell he was really dedicated. I also liked How to get away with Murder second season. I really like thriller. In some ways this season was better. It has the same style of narrative which is great because I loved it in season 1. And it has better plot twists. I also like the episodic cases. Didn't think it was that great but Jessica Jones was surprisingly good. I should continue watching Nacros. First episode was decent. |
