Power Book II: Ghost (2020)
Better Than Expected
I had huge reservations about watching Power Book II: Ghost because (like everyone else) I hated Tariq's character on Power. I even started off with a low rating at first in Season 1 but the more I watched the more I came to really like show. I just finished Season 4 and found myself really enjoying the show a lot more than I thought I would, to the point where as soon I was done with an episode I was looking forward to the next one. This is not the same Tariq from the original Power, he's becoming much more like his dad and you go from hating this kid to actually rooting for him. I can't remember a show where I hated someone so much to actually rooting for him like I have Tariq. I'll still never get over what he did to his dad but this show is so much better than I expected it to be.
1923 (2022)
Looking forward to seeing more of this series
I absolutely love 1923! It's right up there with Yellowstone and 1883. If you're a fan of those two then you'll be a fan of this to. It takes the best of both of those shows and combine it for this one. This is definitely a show for adults with all the violence and language it that's what makes it so good. It's not for children. At this point Taylor Sheridan can do no wrong. He hits home run after home run. I love everything about this show...the acting, writing, directing, production, cinematography, etc, etc. Are all excellent. I mean this stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren for crying out loud. For those two A-list actors to do a tv show you know it had to be good. I know those two are going to get all the attention, and rightfully so, but there are just so many other great actors in this. Too many to even name. I can't wait to see more of this series and where it goes.
The Acolyte (2024)
Could've been better
I just finished watching The Acolyte and the first word that comes to mind is disappointing. I was really hoping for better. I'm a Star Wars fan so I was really looking forward to this. I do admit that the visuals here are incredible. The acting wasn't horrible either, it's the writing that's bad which seems like the ongoing issue with these Star Wars shows, except for The Mandalorian which was great. When the writing is this bad then it doesn't matter who the actors are or how good the show looks because it's still a bad show. I was hoping it would get better in season 2 but they just canceled it and I'm not too surprised by that at all.
The Penguin (2024)
A gritty, violent crime drama that is so fun to watch
I've been waiting for The Penguin ever since it was first announced it was going to series and I can tell you it's every bit as good as I expected. Colin Farrell is absolutely terrific as Oz Cobb a.k.a. The Penguin. He was a standout on The Batman and is even better in a lead role. On top of that Cristin Milioti is just as good as Sofia Falcone. The two of them fight to see who is the #1 gangster in Gotham and to "bring order in all the chaos." Some people were worried that a supporting character like The Penguin couldn't carry a show and it wouldn't work not having Batman or Bruce Wayne but fear not because this is more than just villain character on a superhero show, it's a great crime drama on its own. It's a gritty, violent crime drama that's so fun to watch unfold. I hope we get more stories like this from this world.
Billy the Kid (2022)
Hooked me from the start
Billy the Kid is obviously a series based on the infamous outlaw, William H. Bonney a.k.a. Billy the Kid. This series tries to give you a fresh take on Billy's story, it shows him as more of the good guy than the gunslinging outlaw we all know him as. They actually make Billy into a sympathetic figure. Listen, Emilio Estevez from Young Guns will always be my favorite Billy the Kid but Tom Blyth does a really good job here as Billy. Daniel Weber also does a great job as Jesse Evans. The way they show their close friendship and how they ended up on different sides is worth watching. The first season is mostly an origin story of how William H. Bonney became the outlaw Billy the kid. The second season is so full of action and story it's hard to stop watching.
Industry (2020)
Entertaining
Industry is now on its 3rd season and I just now started watching it. I'm not sure why I put it off for so long because I heard good things about it but I just put other shows in front of it. Now I'm actually mad at myself for putting it off this long because it's that good of a show. I started watching early last week and binged through all 3 seasons in that time. I just couldn't stop watching it. I know it gets compared to Succession a lot and I guess I can see why and even though I really liked this show, it's not nearly as good as Succession was. The one thing they have in common are a lot of spoiled rich people where every character on the show is unlikable. The other thing is how great the acting and writing is. It's one of the rare shows where each season gets better than the previous one. I'm looking forward to more seasons of this in the future.
Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist (2024)
Worth watching for the cast alone
Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist is a thrilling ride from the very start. It brings together one of the most talented ensemble casts of any show this year. It has a bunch of A-List movie stars at their best that includes Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Kevin Hart, Tarija P. Henson, Terrence Howard, among others. It's impossible for a show to be bad with a cast like that, at the very least you're going to get good acting performances. There are also plenty of other great performances from lesser known actors which makes this show so good. But this is more than just the acting...the writing, production, directing, etc are all great. The terrific script gives all these stars a chance to do what they do best and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these actors get nominated for their performances come award season.
Hacks (2021)
Surprised by how much I enjoyed this
I finally got around to watching Hacks recently and have to say I really enjoyed it. I never got excited about watching this even though I've heard nothing but great things about it since it came out. It just looked like a show that was aimed more for women and I'm not one. I was wrong...really wrong. It's hilarious and absolutely enjoyable for everyone. The last time I was this wrong about a show was The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I didn't think that was a show for me either and I ended up loving it. While I didn't think Hacks wasn't as good as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel it's still a really good show. Jean Smart & Hannah Einbinder have such great chemistry that they literally will make you laugh out loud. Don't be like me and put this show off because you think it's aimed at a certain demographic because everyone will like it.
Foundation (2021)
Absolutely Amazing
I've been putting off watching Foundation ever since it first came out but now that I've seen it I can say I really enjoyed it. I never read the books so I can't say how close this is to them but I wouldn't care either way as long as it's a good show. It may start a little slow for some but that's because they do such an excellent job at building their world and characters but it does pick up. The CGI is absolutely amazing as this is one of the most beautifully shot shows I've ever seen. It really is a pretty solid sci-fi series and I'm glad I finally watched it. I'm about to finish Season 2 and I can say that without a doubt that Season 2 is even better than the first. Hoping next season keeps up the same quality of the first two because this is turning into one of the better sci-fi series I've ever see.
The Last of Us (2023)
I liked it but not everyone will
I actually understand why some people love the show and some people don't like it. For me...I thought The Last of Us was one of the best new shows of the year. I never played the game so I wasn't really sure what to expect going in. I then saw the trailer and read all the great reviews so my expectations rose even more. Well, it not only met those expectations but surpassed them in every way. Pedro Pascal has to be one of the most underrated actors on the planet. He's terrific in everything he's ever done and this is no different. He carries the show again. The rest of the cast is great as well, Bella Ramsey, who play the girl Ellie, has a bright future ahead of her. I hope they make of bunch of seasons (as long as the quality stays the same).
Six Feet Under (2001)
Such a good show
What can be said about Six Feet Under that hasn't already been said. I never watched this show while it was actually on even though I heard nothing but great things about it. Well, I recently got around to watching it and have to say I really enjoyed it. While I don't think it's quite the masterpiece that a lot of other people seem to think, I still think it's a pretty good show and would recommend it. It's a family drama that is so well written and acted that you forget it's a tv show. The show just feels real. Alan Ball finds a way to make death both sad and funny in only a way he can. I promise you'll love watching the Fisher family as you'll find yourself rooting for every member of the family.
Justified: City Primeval (2023)
Love that Justified is back (minus the daughter)
The original Justified is one of my favorite shows of all-time. I wasn't expecting Justified: City Primeval to be as good as the original (not much is) but I was hoping it would be good enough and it absolutely was. It did not disappoint. I'm excited to see where this is going to go but so far the one thing that I do know is I can't stand the daughter. Having said that, besides hating the daughter, Justified: City Primeval is one of the best new shows of the year. This takes place 15 years after the original ended and Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) is now a Marshall in Florida until a case brings him to Detroit to chase a violent sociopath (Boyd Holbrook). While no one is going to be a better adversary than Boyd Crowder (played by the amazing Walton Goggins), Boyd Holbrook is also a great actor and makes the character a worthy villain for Raylan. The writing and acting is what makes this show so special. While not as good as the original Justified, this is a worthy sequel as it's gotten nothing but great reviews by just about everyone. I read that this is only a limited series back for just this one season but with the way it ended they have to bring it back for at least another season but that ending is what everyone was waiting for. I really hope they do do another season because this show was terrific and you can't have enough Justified in my opinion.
Halo (2022)
Solid Sci-fi Series
I never played the Halo games so I didn't really know what to expect but I have to say I really liked it. First off, Pablo Schreiber is such an underrated actor and does an excellent job in almost everything he does and he's great as the lead here. It seems that most of the people who don't like it is because it's not exactly like the video game. These shows need to be adapted for tv so there going to be a little different. Most people don't read the source material and don't care but I guess some of the ones who do know it do mind. As long as it's entertaining I've never cared if they change it up a little. This story is well written, the acting is good, and there's plenty of action and drama to keep you interested throughout the series. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who's a fan of sci-fi or action.
Hotel Cocaine (2024)
Worth Watching
I just finished watching Hotel Cocaine and have to say I really enjoyed it. I love these narco, drug cartel type shows so this was made for people like me. It was created by the same people that made the amazing Narcos & Narcos: Mexico series on Netflix and the very good Godfather of Harlem. While this isn't anywhere near as good as those three shows it's still good enough to spend your time watching. It's a true story about a Cuban exile named Roman Compte (Danny Pino) who is the general manager of a hotel called The Mutiny, he's also the brother of one of the biggest drug dealers in Florida at the time named Nestor Cabal (Yul Vazquez). When a DEA agent (Michael Chiklis) makes Roman help him arrest his brother all hell breaks loose. As long as you're not expecting it to be as good as Narcos then I think you'll enjoy it.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Should be better
In my opinion The Wheel of Time has to be one of the bigger disappointments to come out on the last few years. I never read any of the books (or even heard of them) so I had no expectations as far as staying true to the source material because I knew nothing about it. If anything though I had pretty high expectations because of how great the trailers looked and how much people were talking about it. Well, the trailers are like most trailers by making it look better than the actual movie or show is. Season 3 is coming out later this year and even though I know better and shouldn't give it a chance, I will, but my expectations are low this time.
Vikings: Valhalla (2022)
Really Enjoyed It
Being a huge fan of the original Vikings I was really looking forward to Vikings: Valhalla. Now, even though it's not as quite as good as the original it's still a really good show that absolutely holds up as it's own great series (as long as you don't compare it to the original). It takes place 100 years after the original show and makes references to all the great characters from that show like Ragnar, Bjorn, Lagertha, Rollo, Ivar, etc. It also mainly takes place in Kattegat, which was home to all those great characters. The new heroes in this show (Leif, Harold, Freydis, etc) are all really easy to root for and do a incredible job pulling you into the show. After finishing season 3 (the last season) I can say I've been thoroughly entertained throughout the entire series and I'm so glad they were able to give it a proper ending instead of of a cliffhanger.
The Umbrella Academy (2019)
Terrific...except for this last season
The Umbrella Academy is such an incredible show that really should be entertaining to all types of different people! I would absolutely recommend it to any superhero fan, action fan, sci-fi fan or drama fan because it has something for fans of all those genres! It may start a little slow for some while it builds up the story and characters, but it gets better and better as the story progresses. The first 3 seasons were all amazing, I can say there's very little drop in quality in those seasons but this last season feels rushed (even though they had 2yrs to get it done)! I may be a little biased because I'm such a huge fan of superhero movies/shows and while I have to say The Umbrella Academy isn't my absolute favorite one, it's still really good and very entertaining! It really brings a fresh take to the genre and has something that everyone can enjoy.
Bad Monkey (2024)
It's a fun show
Apple TV+ has been in fire with all the great tv series they've put out the last few years and Bad Monkey is another home run for them. It stars Vince Vaughn as a former police detective who is now a restaurant inspector, what follows is an action comedy that is as entertaining as you'd think it'd be with Vaughn doing what he does best. It also stars Michelle Monaghan, Natalie Martinez, Meredith Hagner, John Ortiz, among others who all play oddball characters that make this show what it is. This is just a fun, light hearted comedy that's an easy watch to just turn your brain off and have good time watching it.
The Book of Boba Fett (2021)
Good Enough
I actually liked The Book of Boba Fett more than I expected to. After reading all the mixed reviews I didn't think it would be that good but I'm definitely on the side that think it's worth watching! The only thing wrong with it is the casting could be better. Temeura Morrison (Boba Fett) and Ming-Wa Wen (Fennec) both look out of place, you get used to it after a while but they should of chose better actors. They're just not that believable as bad asses when they fight, both being 60+ years old doesn't help. I still liked the story though and wouldn't mind seeing another season. If you're a Star Wars fan or even just a sci-fi fan then you should give this a try.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
I missed Dexter so much but the ending was awful
I missed Dexter so much and was so excited to hear that it was getting revived for this series. Dexter is easily one of my favorite shows of all-time and one of the few shows I can watch all the way through several times over without getting bored. Dexter: New Blood is actually a pretty good show right up until the ending. The ending to the original was pretty bad but this ending is actually worse. I'm not one of those people who thinks a bad ending ruins the whole series for me, as long as the series was good overall then I don't downgrade the entire series because of one bad show. But if there's any exception to that it's this show. The ending really is that bad. I'd still recommend this to any Dexter fans just to see Michael C. Hall back as Dexter. That's worth watching alone and again, the show itself is pretty good. Just be prepared to be disappointed at the ending.
Watchmen (2019)
Entertaining
I absolutely loved Watchmen! It's a thrilling dramatic series that will absolutely keep you entertained throughout the series with its powerful storytelling! It's just a shame that they're only limiting it to one season. I know it was only suppose to be a one season limited show to begin with but you would think with how good the ratings were, how good all the reviews were, and all the awards it's won they would've tried for a 2nd season anyway. I mean this show broke records for how many award nominations it got including 26 Emmy nominations (it won huge awards such as Best Limited Series, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Writing, etc., etc.). Oh well, we were lucky to have such an incredible show even if just for the one season.
The Continental (2023)
Entertaining
Being a John Wick fan I've been looking forward to The Continental ever since I first heard about it. Then after seeing the trailers my excitement grew even more. After watching the first few episodes I can absolutely say that The Continental has not only met my expectations but has exceeded them in every way. It's as fast paced and entertaining as the John Wick movies. Even though you'd probably enjoy this more if you've seen the John Wick movies, you don't have to have seen them to like this. The action scenes are as good as anything I've seen on tv. I can't stop watching this and know it's a limited series but I really hope they plan on doing several seasons of this because I'm hooked.
Good Omens (2019)
Tennant and Sheen are why this show is so good
I just now finally got around to watching Good Omens and have to say I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. First of all it stars three fantastic actors in David Tennant, Michael Sheen and Jon Hamm. What can be said about those three that haven't already? They're all incredible actors and the chemistry between Tennant and Sheen is some of the best I've seen on tv this year. It's about an unlikely friendship from an Angel named Aziraphale (Sheen) and a demon named Crowley (Tennant) as they team up to stop Armageddon. This show is clever in the way it makes you think about what is right and wrong and the sometimes fine like between them. For a show about the end of times, it sure does make you laugh.
Succession (2018)
Brilliant
I actually enjoyed Succession but it's definitely a show that's not for everyone. The majority of the people I know end up loving up but there are those who don't like it too. You'll have to judge for yourself. What can you say about it that hasn't already been said? First off this show has won the Emmy for Best Drama every season it's been on and literally every major character has been nominated or won an Emmy for their work on this show. It's also one of the highest rated shows here so it's not only a hit with the critics but the fans love it too. Bottom line is this is one of the best shows ever created. It's one of the rare shows where every season is just as good as the others. There's no let down or weak season. This show is not for everyone though. If you are looking for action and a fast paced show then this isn't for you. What makes this series so special is the writing and acting. It will suck you into their world and won't let go. I can't recommend this show enough but again not everyone has is going to like it.
Interview with the Vampire (2022)
Awesome
I actually enjoyed Interview with the Vampire even more than I thought I would. I liked the movie so I thought this would be a little bit of a disappointment but it wasn't. Far from it. This one actually takes place in our current year. Vampire Louie de Pointe du Lac is currently living in Dubai and is telling his life story to a journalist. The story starts in New Orleans in the 20th century and shows how he met the vampire Lestat du Lioncourt and how they started their family with the two of them and teen vampire Claudia. It's much like the movie where the story follows Louie telling his side of the story to the journalist. It's also different in many ways to the movie, not bad just different. I've actually come to like it even more than the movie.
