Certainly one of the best shows from the past couple of decades. The story line was well down throughout all 5 seasons. If you liked X-Files then this is a show you should watch.
I myself do have to admin the first couple of episodes I really wasn't digging Anna Torv character Olivia. For whatever reason just didn't feel right but eventually she grew on me and all was good. John Noble (Walter Bishop) is fantastic, i love his character.
Enjoy the show.

This has got to be one of my favorite shows. This is a show that really makes you go "huh!" at times. If you aren't paying enough attention, get distracted, or sneeze (maybe...) you could miss something really important or possibly nothing too important but yet everything seems to play and have some meaning in the story line. It's almost like the creator and writers are able to read you minds...or perhaps they all have seen the future and are just recreating what is (or fixing) suppose to happen... or they ran into ... The Shadow King and he needs the energy of every watching soul to fuel his power and to steal your mind from you.

Seriously that last bit might be true, this is a show I have to watch. I can't not watch it. Even if I'm dumbfounded and confused at what the hell is going on (like nearly the entire 1st season). I even have gone back to re-watch it to gain understanding, yes it does help or so the whispers in my mind say...

This is a great show. And oh for the love of sweet baby Jesus they have better give this thing a 3rd season and likely more than that. Having read up on the creation of this show last year, I do appreciate that they are trying to keep this separate from all the other Marvel shows. Not saying that there are no references to anything else but this is a standalone show, no crutches on the rest of the Marvel Uni. At least not so far.

A+ on this one.

This started off a just another zombie show to watch. Became a show that I actually enjoyed watching and looked forward to watching. The overall story is pretty good. I do like the different take on being a Zombie and that basically zombies can coexist with humans if they really want and try to. Of course not all of them do but that's where the action and story telling comes into play right?

The show has had a great run. They have explored and fleshed a good over arching story and at least having a full season to wrap up the show will mean that the story line should progress and end properly to give us hopefully a satisfactory conclusion. The cast has been fantastic, really feel like everyone is placed and cast like they were made for the part. Both writing and acting has been very good in this show.

I shall miss you izombie but at least we will have one more season together before we finally part.

Thank you for renewing this. At least the DC side of things in TV shows seems to be ok...mostly, Black Lightning so-so, well I guess Gotham has gotten a bit ridiculous but I guess a city full of baddies is what finally makes Bruce become the Bat...Anyway back to Krypton. At first I didn't have real high hopes for the show, especially when everyone has british accents (Good thing Superman didn't grow up there after all, he would have ended up sounding like James Bond or something - hahaha).

But by the 3rd ep I was happy enough with it. This takes place about 2 generations before Kal El is born, so we have plenty of room to work with here. The story moved along decently well, trying not to present any spoilers. The main character Seg El (Superman's Grandfather) is involved with 2 women but no real hanky panky as the Kryptonians are beyond that savagery! Anyway it isn't clear which woman eventually becomes Superman's Grandma but I'm sure more of that will flesh out in future seasons.

Seg has some helper from a future Earth-man who has a way to travel across time and space. Other well known DC entities also make appearances. As expected everything is basically in disarray from what we would assume the normal expected outcomes would be. Basic premise of the story is that the Earth-man is here to help Seg save Superman due to some interference with the time line. I do like how they ended the season, all topsy turvey but will lead to some excitement for the next season on how will they fix what is now broken...or do they...

Deception

Possibly not the greatest show ever; however, come on it involves magic or at least the modern what we know of as magic which is illusion and deception. I do like the show, not a Walking Dead type of love or commitment to it, but likable. Saddens me that it isn't getting a 2nd season, I really hope the finale wraps up everything, no idea if they knew in time that they weren't getting a renewal. Yes there are a lot of basic story lines, lots of "I've seen or heard that before" but throwing in something different to give it a little twist give it a wee bit of charm to make me want to watch and see how they pull off the caper. I've seen many say they didn't like the cast much but I thought they were doing a splendid job.

Au Revoir mon deception!

I thought I had seen the show had been cancelled, then I saw Sidereel didn't have it listed that way. That was when I found that Clayne has been fired! I'm like BAM! WHAT! I just watched the Season 2 finale last night thinking it was the last episode ever and sad as I thought I would now never know what would happen. Then I had a glimmer of hope, YAY! it might not be cancelled...then OMG WTF! Clayne gone and looking to recast Riggs! NO FREAKING WAY.

The best actor in this show is Clayne. Damon is good; however, the dynamics between the two are nearly perfect. I don't think someone else recast now would capture the same momentum. The TV show made me feel like I was watching the movie series again. I feel without Clayne the show will sink. However, I also thought the same of Spartacus, that main lead ended up with cancer and unfortunately passed away after the 1st season. STARS did recast and found a good replacement and the show did survive, and I enjoyed the hell out of it.

That being said lightning rarely strikes twice, granted I'm comparing 2 completely different shows from 2 completely different networks - many reading will probably say "Spartacus? had his own show?" Truly, I don't think Lethal Weapon TV Show would make a successful 3rd season with Riggs replaced. There is way too much invested in the current character as is, if he is to go permanently, I 100% feel the show will end up going as well.

The other "idiots" out there thinking he is so easily replaceable or all his emotional moments are "weak" story plots...IDIOTS is all I can really say. Do you not understand acting and an actors true job of making you feel for the character, emotional moments are needed. Now someone like Keanu Reeves who has the acting emotional capability of a rock could never pull off Riggs. Clayne has shown himself to be pretty much the perfect guy to fill the role of Riggs.

This has been a great show. I loved it. I would love to see more. If Clayne goes I honestly will not be able to watch it.

Damn you Fox! Damn You! Once again you kill a show that has had IMHO a good run so far and I think had at least 1 or 2 more seasons in it. Loved this show from the beginning. I likely unlike most of the viewers had no idea who Will Forte is until this show (yes I'm an old SNL fan who stopped watching in the 90s). The only place I had known Forte from was Disney's Lab Rats (due to my little boy who loved watching the show). Forte who can be extremely annoying but is absolutely hilarious is fantastic. All the members of the show were great, I personally cannot say that any of the actors in the show were bad or didn't belong.

This was one of the post-apocalyptic shows that gives you just enough food for thought to make you wonder WWID (What Would I Do) in the guise of a wonderfully entertaining comedy. Was a fun and a look-forward-to-watch-with-the-wife type shows that would make us both laugh. Yes of course not everyone will like it, mostly that is because the initial duo can be a bit annoying and true if only them for 4 seasons could get hard to watch. However, hang on past the first half of season 1 and I think most will at least find it a bit fun to watch 22 minute chuckle-fest.

Now we will never know if humans will re-populate the Earth. Au revoir Last Man!

OMG!!! This season finale has got to be one of the most hilarious for a Sci-Fi show. Absolutely love the return of Beebo the God of War as the being of purity to defeat Mallus.

The rest of the story decent enough for a finale, truly the best part is the epic monster battle. Looks like we lose a few characters; although, I'm thinking Rip will possibly pop-up somewheretime. Damien Dark being the evil villain I'm sure will find some way to return.

My new favorite phrase is now "BEEBO WANTS CUDDLES!"
