I really liked this show. I love how they took contemporary society issues and placed them in ancient Greece, and they treated the characters like as if they were a character set in modern times, makes them so easily relatable. The locations, all in New Zealand, were majestic - whenever there was some Fort or Castle or Village, I was always convinced of antiquity. This series entranced and enthralled me for all the years it played. The show had some great monsters every week that dazzled me and kept me on the edge of my seat. The action scenes were brilliantly done. The extensively choreographed action scenes, fun costumes, and crazy myth-based story lines make this show a delight, I loved how the screenwriters explored different mythologies throughout the series, as well, such as Norse mythology and Celtic mythology--those explorations outside of Greek mythology really added something nice to the series overall. I loved most of the characters that popped up here and there. The two leads had fantastic chemistry together. When fantasy, adventure and comedy collide, they make a great entertaining show that doesn't take itself too seriously. Add to that the stunning performance of the two leads, the beautiful scenery, the highly imaginative plots and the cleverly constructed titles and you have a great show.

A thoroughly engaging show that is very well done. In addition, the writing is quite good and the supporting cast very good. There are lots of life lessons (e.g. discrimination, divorced parents, acceptance, anorexia, deportation, love and more), with many humorous lines and moments. i think this show was funny,with twists and turns along the way. This show had great comedic timing along with the casting which was done quite perfectly. Sabrina The Teenage Witch is a very well produced and funny show because of one good reason, the characters all have great chemistry. I enjoyed the show to the last episode because of the true talent Melissa Joan Hart and her supporting cast had of demonstrating that whit, comedy, light-hearted humor, and deep thought could actually coexist. Episodes of this show often featured Sabrina getting into ethical dilemmas because of situations created by her magic. The problems were usually resolved through a combination of magic and an application of morality. Sabrina's two aunts usually offered her advice as she was learning about life as well as about the rules and limitations of being a witch. Sabrina and Harvey's relationship was the very essence of the show. I really liked the ending. No loose ends and no cliff hangers.

Secrets of the Dead

Secrets of the Dead sheds new light on mysteries that once seemed an unsolvable part of human history. What's more, it manages to combine its extraordinary educational value with enough pace and drama to keep even skeptical viewers attentive. The series attempts to answer questions that still surround many well-known deaths, events and places throughout history. The show generally follows an investigator or team of investigators exploring what modern science can tell us about some of the great mysteries of history. The series takes a close look at topics like the true origin of the Shroud of Turin, the spark that ignited the Salem witch hysteria, and the cause of the great fire of Rome. Scientists and researchers from a wide range of fields take on the seemingly impossible task of gathering stone-cold evidence and using modern technology to put it back under the microscope hundreds to thousands of years later. Most programs incorporate primary source material, first-hand accounts, dramatic reenactments, and computer-generated imagery (CGI) to tell the story. The show uses archive video footage (when it's available). I always feel when i am done with each episode that I have learned something.

This was a very good show. It had everything from sci-fi to action, to dramatic plot lines. Excellent acting (for the most part). Believable scenarios, and great guest stars. I really didn't like the ending. It just seemed really rushed and tacked on. I wish they had given it one more year so they could have had a more satisfying ending. NBC made a huge blunder cancelling this series, especially cancelling it on a cliff hanger. I think is sad that Sam never got home to his friends and wife. Very addictive and satisfying to watch. I especially like how the show lets you examine the history of the years between the 1950's through the 1980's -- the good, the bad, and the very, very ugly. The story lines were great. The series consisted mainly of fictional plots, interspersed with the odd story based on real life events. In addition, the show's original signature tune was great! I always thought it was more than just a sci-fi/ comedic drama as, at times, it was incredibly insightful. The concept was completely innovative and didn't rely to heavily on expensive effects to convey the belief of time travel. There appeared to be no subject to dangerous to touch and that was what made the program so engrossing. By examining key issues that could have affected anyone (sexual harassment, racism and teenage pregnancy to name a few), the viewer could not help but be drawn into a theoretical discussion as to the rights and wrongs of each subject. The variety and humanity of the show is what makes it stand above the others. Some episodes are light and humorous, when others are darker, even tragic. Some conclusions are bittersweet, and help the main characters to evolve slightly, but regularly throughout the show. What helps even more is the fantastic chemistry between the two main characters.

Red vs. Blue will make you laugh harder then you ever had before, and then it will break your heart, then get you laughing again. It has excellent storytelling and cinematography, but it’s strong suit are it’s characters. From Caboose, to Church, to Grif and the Reds, all the main characters on this show are great, and it keeps up that tradition with newer characters like Washington and Carolina. I love th thought, detail and careful planning Rooster Teeth has put into the depth of the story, character creation and development. This is, the funniest, most emotional, most immersive, most mysterious and down right best machinima show. Red vs Blue delivers some of the wittiest humor, with a cast of interesting idiots leading the front as the galaxy's most unlikely of heroes. The plot is extremely rich and the characters are nothing short of exquisite. The characters of this show are lovable. Even the villains of it are interesting and have seasons worth of backstory that makes you devoted to them. They actually build up characters better than most shows on TV. The characters are so well done that you complete get sucked in to the world and invested in the characters. Red vs. Blue is remarkably succinct in establishing memorable and unique characters. My fav characters are Tex, Carolina and Washington. This show is so funny but it does has it's deep and serious moments. I have ugly cried a time or two. I love the music by Trocadero, especially "Contact Redux" ft Meredith Hagan and "A Girl Named Tex". This show is absolutely amazing. The story line is fantastic. the comedy. the animation and fight scenes. This show is absolutely amazing. The story line is fantastic. the comedy. the animation and fight scenes. This show is super addicting. All together it's something you can watch again and again and never be disappointed. For the most part, the acting is very believable and real, all of the characters are well portrayed, adding to the enjoyment of the show. This show has some of the funniest quotes. Some examples are

(While in a tank) Why are there six pedals if there are only four directions?

Why didn't you bury me? - With what. We only have rifles. What did you want us to do? Shoot you a grave.

Relic Hunter is sort of a cross between Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider. The I do like the concept and the stories seem to get stronger as the series goes along. The sets were awesome, the scripts were varied and fun, and they had great guest stars every week. I love that the show had a strong, intelligent, beautiful lead in Sydney. The characters, the stories, and the location are all superb. The best thing about Relic Hunter is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. There's lots of loose humor mixed into the interesting plot lines. The series mingles comedy, suspense, intrigue, tension, action-packed, history and adventure.The fight scenes really above average. Those are well executed. Tia Carrere and Christien Anholt are great actors and have great chemistry, although the characters they play aren't ever romantically linked with each other. What's stellar about this series is it's production. The producers of this series knew what they were doing. The characters, the stories, and the location are all superbly in good taste that holds up to repeat viewing. I like the scenes at the beginning that show what relic or artifact that they are supposed to find. I love watching to see how they will get in and out of close and sometimes death defying scenarios. All in all a very enjoyable show.

I absolutely love this show. I think it is one of the most faithful adaptations of a book series that I have seen. They often use dialogue straight from the book. The changes from the novels involving events, people, and places are usually minor and enhance rather that detract. There are part that I would liked to have been included and parts that I thought should have been left out. Some parts they focus too much and some they don't give enough attention to I liked the length of the first season. I didn't like when successive season had less episodes. These books are massive. They also are not really noticeable unless you have read the books. I have all the books and novellas, as well as all the books from the Lord John Grey series. I have read books 1-4 and will read the 5th book closer to when the season starts again. The cinematography, costumes, and music are outstanding in the Outlander episodes. The music integrates seamlessly and enhances each scene. This truly is exceptionally written.

A captivating and thrilling piece of viewing. The series has been absolutely wonderful and the actors have done a marvelous job capturing the essence of the characters and definitely do justice to Diana's books. This show is addictive. The Outlander series is a love story for the ages. The characters of the show are compelling with the actors portrayal pulls you into the story and making you never wan to leave. The thing that i have the biggest problem with is the wait between season is so very very long. There was 7 months between the 2 halves of season 1. There was 11 months between seasons 1 and 2 . There was 14 months between seasons 2 and 3 . There was 11 months between seasons 3 and 4. And lastly there will be 13 months between seasons 4 and 5. I love that there will be a season 6. I also hope that they will make a season 7 and 8 to go with books 7 and 8. I would really love if they were to make a Lord John Grey series based on his books. Some of which overlap with the Outlander novels.

I have watched this show from the beginning, along with the other 2 NCIS shows. The addition of NCIS New Orleans to the franchise was a great move. New Orleans is a very interesting and unique city with many different cultures and backgrounds. Very interesting show. It keeps you focused the whole hour. The diversity of the cast mirrors the country population. I enjoy the show and look forward to each episode. The characters have awesome chemistry, the plots are well thought out and scripted. Every episode has multiple themes with twists and turns.

I like this show. I eagerly await each episode. This show is successful all of these years because all of the characters mesh well as a team and have awesome chemistry together. They "act" as a team and work as a team in each episode. Great show, the writing is fantastic and the producers couldn't have made a better choice of actor/actress. Each role is played so perfectly by each actor/actress that all episodes are exciting from beginning to end. The stories are interesting and it is fun to watch the characters grow. This is a great and thrilling show. It always keeps you jumping and waiting for the next excitement and fun.

It has shown consistently good story arcs , characters etc. NCIS has been one of my favorite show since JAG gave birth to it. NCIS is a very addictive TV series - probably the most popular longest running TV series in the US. The lead star is a no nonsense, tough as a nail strong leader who leads a young team of investigators. In any human drama, a strong leader acts as the central focus figure on whom the whole saga is baked in. The characters are amazing and so are the relationships between characters. They are like a close knit family. I really think that the character development in all of the characters is really good. Incredible writing and acting. Keeping the fans coming back season after season, it's evolved so much. As much as I love watching, I do miss certain characters. I, like so many of the devoted fans, feel the loss of Ziva, Tony and Abby. I think that this show, over the years, has missed getting recognized by the TV business. The cast, crew and writers work so hard on each and every episode, but they haven't gotten the shiny hardware like other shows -- which is a shame. This series is still after 16 seasons fresh and interesting. Even though many of the original characters have left, the writers have developed new, intriguing characters.
