Dark and gripping.

The perspective taken by the show and the light it shines on the intersection of poverty with lack of women's rights is just the cherry on top of an amazing show. The casting and performances are great, and the whole thing is very well directed.

Mind. Blowing.
The 100 started out aimed at young viewers, and with a very intriguing sci-fi premise. Over the seasons, it has been able to expand its universe in stable and believable ways, with great action scenes, characters who are beyond amazing, and some extraordinary performances. Season 5 was the best till date, pushing the envelope in daring ways and bringing us new aspects to beloved old characters.
If any show deserves to stay on air for 10 seasons, it's the 100, because they clearly have more meaningful story to tell.

If the concept of Two and a Half Men was floated today, it would be rejected out-of-hand. A show that revolved around lead actor Charlie Sheen's real life persona does not set very high acting standards to begin with. And while Jon Cryer has been consistently excellent throughout, he cannot singlehandedly make up for the awful and tasteless writing.
The show also managed to ditch its star when his personal life (i.e. the bedrock on which this awful show was founded) got more out of control than it was able to handle. While Ashton Kutcher did an okay job filling Sheen's shoes, all the show did from there was go even further downhill.
P.S.: The finale was the WORST.

The fashion as well as the acting in this show was on point. While it was extremely difficult to care about the storylines of the male characters, the female characters were gripping and fascinating, while simultaneously knocking the fashion game out of the park every. single. time. 90210 is a show for when you're looking for something light and - yes - shallow, but it does tend to surprise you with some of its heavy-hitting moments.

Quite simply the best superhero anything I've ever watched, and quite possibly the best show as well. Marvel's Jessica Jones takes a dark, yet heart warming look at extremely important social issues framed against one of the most action packed and empowering fantasy frameworks.

For the same obvious reasons as led to the cancellations of this show, I found it a bit of a disappointment. I watched Ravenswood because it was a PLL spinoff, because Caleb was in it, and because they kept crossing over into each other's territory.
For one thing, the supernatural element seemed unnaturally forced. All the spook around the town of Ravenswood was constantly being pushed in your face, from the actual ravens, to the creepy little blond girl, to all the ghosts tethered to their bodily remains in glass jars... The writing wasn't too tight either.
I love fantasy and the supernatural, but I absolutely hate the horror genre - the weird sound effects and lighting trying to make you jump when someone says boo, the over the top make up designed to invoke revulsion... And I'm pretty sure that ultimately that's the real reason why Ravenswood didn't work for me.

As sad a white-male-saviour fantasy as the books would lead you to believe. Come for Krasinski's looks, stay for Krasinski's looks. Some effort is made to incorporate characters from different cultural backgrounds, but they play supporting roles at best.
