A side story in the Gundam universe, this series is mostly for big fans of the franchise and doesn't provide the quality of entertainment that the main series do but still enjoyable.

Berserk

A decent series with a central driving theme and lots of action and intrigue, Berserk ended too soon and it left me feeling like there was a lot more to the story. For those who feel the same there is always the manga.

After War Gundam X

A departure from the original storyline and Gundam Universe, this show takes a different look at the same themes as the original series and is just as enjoyable.

Zeta Gundam

A continuation of the original Mobile Suit Gundam, this series maintains the franchise's strong plot, characters, and theme. With a more independent and angry lead, however, Zeta manages to stay true but still be a unique and enjoyable series in its own right.

The West Wing

One of the most critically acclaimed series of all time, The West Wing is full of political scenarios that engage and push the audience to think about important and complicated issues. An Aaron Sorkin project, it is as idealistic as any other of his series, but still manages to feel authentic and presents a sound story line with each episode and as a whole.

I just recently found out this show was cancelled and was very disappointed. Robin Williams brought his unique brand of comedy back to television and made every episode a pleasure to watch. Not an amazing series, but it didn't get time to develop as I felt it should.

Sports Night

Similar in tone and delivery to all of Aaron Sorkin's series, Sports Night features a cast of characters based on a set of strong convictions and moral principles with each episode presenting a moral conundrum and a very idealistic resolution. This show is great for making you think about controversial issues, but the setting is not as good a fit as some of his other series including the critically acclaimed "The West Wing".

One Tree Hill

A very dramatic show with many twists and turns and the ups and downs of love, but often too outlandish or romanticized to possibly believe and I often found myself balking at problems and resolutions.

Mobile Suit Gundam

The original in a long franchise of Gundam series, MS Gundam is a compelling story based on interesting themes and filled the action of giant fighting robots in outer space. Highly recommended.

With a mediocre cast and acting this show can be tough to watch sometimes, but the look at the challenges young hopeful Olympic gymnasts face is interesting and the writing can be unexpectedly good. Overall, this makes for a decent series, but don't expect too much.
