Funny and adorable - Ted Danson has got it and is never losing it. Man on the Inside manages to be funny and thoughtful without getting bogged down, and every episode rushes by smoothly. It's the right mix of sentimentality, comedy and engaging mystery. By the end of the season, you're really hoping for a season 2.

"Unlikely friendship" is a misleading way of describing this most adorable and complementary couple of all time. The show is fun and incredibly funny, with two master performances dominating screen time as an angel and a devil rush to save the antichrist's soul.

A great watch - an off-beat take on superheroes with memorable and twisted versions of well known characters. Not entirely sure where I stand on the finale ending on a cliffhanger, but I'm definitely looking forward to S02

Ruby Rose does a fantastic job as Batwoman, and the show does a great job of sending across social messages in an enjoyable manner. The plot of the first season is slightly generic but I'm here for the action scenes and the Ruby x Tessa moments.

The gore was maybe a little too gratuitous, but still an interesting, dark show. Special props for Dakota Fanning's performance, and the portrayal of women entering the police force for the first time.

This show deals with a number of sensitive topics, but handles them in an incredibly insensitive way. Not only did it not warn viewers about potentially triggering scenes when airing the first season, but the second season does not seem to have thematically changed much since. Overall, one gets the impression of sensationalism over a genuine need to discuss important social issues. Also, Clay Jansen is an incredibly problematic moral centre for any show.

Great performances, though!

I'm still mourning the loss of Agent Carter. As one of the finest shows I have ever seen to feature a female protagonist, Agent Carter manages to effortlessly frame its eponymous heroine at the front and centre of its action. Not only is it bold and unashamed in its criticism of sexism in our societies, but it also manages to turn the same into an effective plot device. The show thus becomes an astounding portrayal of the breaking of glass ceilings - and that too while set in a less progressive time, no less.

I'm of the opinion that Sherlock sometimes goes a tad overboard with the flashiness and the coat swishing slow motion. That said, however, the fact remains that this show is as amazing as they come. The unconventional format of 3 hour-long episodes every two years has only served to heighten viewer anticipation, although that certainly wouldn't have worked if the show hadn't become so wildly popular.
I honestly prefer the earlier seasons to the latest one, mostly because the show didn't feel as arrogant back then. As an avid Sherlock Holmes fan, I adore the little Easter Eggs left around the show, and the chemistry between the main protagonists is definitely the life of this show. Character development however, seems to manifest itself only in Sherlock.
Okay, I've written down every little quibble I can think of, so now can I just say, I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I love the iphone tech blended into criminal masterpieces, I love the truly modern interpretation, and even the over the top self importance is a tad endearing. Just like Sherlock.

DNF, as we say on Goodreads. Did not finish. While the show has *some* merit, it progressively worsens over time, and the characters get more and more unlikeable. It did give us Adam Driver though, so I guess thanks for the small mercies.

Jean is back, and she's crossed the pond this time to give American cops and serial killers a run for their money. Also Millie, whom I similarly love. Black characters are introduced, and the show continues to be amazing. It's a pity there's no S02.
