This review is based on the pilot that aired 11/15/2015

The pilot had 2 intense fight scenes that were absolutely awesome, and very much like asian kung-fu movies. very stylized, and really well choreographed.
The rest of the episode was a bit barren. We established some somewhat emotionless characters and painted a stylistic, interesting setting of world set somewhere in the mid 1900s where 7 people known as Barons each managed to create their own factions. Our protaganist, Sunny, is a ruthless killer who works for one of the Barons. The course of the show will track Sunny as he gets tangled up in a situation involving a boy with mystical powers and rediscovers his humanity. Its a good premise and can make for a cool show however the pace is slow, its not terribly epic, as it could have been, and like Walking Dead, its got a lot more "bad" characters than "good" ones and drags.

I'll keep watching for the amazing fight scenes.

This review is for Season 2.

When the Librarians first premiered it was fun, nostalgic and filled a giant ol' Warehouse 13 gap. The characters had joyful personalities and he plots had just enough history to make them enjoyable without getting lost in nonsense.

Enter season 2. Lose any historical accuracy in place for magic, fictional characters coming to life and so much whimsical you could start a circus. I totally get that The Librarians is not a serious show and that it doesn't take itself seriously, but we are supposed to like it; and now they are just making us feel like bafoons for trying our hardest to continue to like something that has lost al touch with reality. It's as if it was written by 5 year olds, for 5 year olds. Upsetting. But, Lindy Booth is a super cutie; and so, I shall give it another go, if not just for her.

Apparently the show is "Blindspot" one word and not "Blind Spot".

Well if you've seen the posters for Blindspot, which you probably have if you have eyes, considering they are absolutely everywhere
you've probably seen the very lovely Jaime Alexander covered in tattoos lying in a duffel bag in Times Square. Why? You may ask.
Well, don't ask her, because she doesn't know either. Meet Jane Doe -- she has no memories prior to waking up in that bag and being covered literally from
head to toe in tattoos. Who is she? Why did this happen to her? Why is FBI Agent Kurt Weller's name tattoo'd on her back? He'd like to know too.
Well, what we do know about Jane, is that she's extremely strong, fluent in a hidden chinese dialect, a perfect shot, and hella gorgeous.
Each week, one of her tattoos will lead to clues about existing criminal activity and threats. Much like Raymond Reddington is a resource to the FBI in The Blacklist, Jane Doe and her tattoos will be a similar resource to the FBI in Blindspot. The shows share a lot of elements. Both are smart, fast paced, have interesting, mysterious characters. Jaime Alexander really does a fantastic job with this role. And if you've ever seen Strike Back, you know Sullivan Stapleton is a great choice for a lead as well. Check out this show!

Fox does not have a good history with science fiction shows doing well and being renewed (Almost Human.) That being said,
If you watched Almost Human, you know its not for lack of trying, as it was a fantastic show which imaginative ideas and some really
cool sci-fi tech. Well, I am really proud to report that based on the pilot of Minority Report, we are going to be seeing some even cooler
sci-fi tech. I was really impressed by the ingenuity of the future design, and the seamlessness in which its presented as the present reality of the show.
The characters seem to have a lot of depth and are interesting. The lead detective reminds me of Abby Mills from Sleepy Hollow (no, not because she's black!) and Dash is a great character because he has many strengths and weaknesses, all of which are extremely apparent. Furthermore, on the subject of Dash, like Blindspot and Limitless, we have a main character with a unique or special ability. This makes for good TV. He is not just some guy who happens to be the protagonist. There is a reason why he is the protagonist and we want to see him use his abilities and ride along with him as he figures out the most effective way to use them to make the world a safer place.

Minority report is exceptionally well thought out, has strong writing, a fast pace, diversity, a strong female lead, ample science-fiction tech
and even with a procedural format, each episode should be highly interesting if not just for the awesome science fiction tech :).

Fans of Almost Human, Intelligence, Believe, Crisis and other great shows that were cancelled last year will enjoy this. Lets hope this modern
Sci-Fi network show makes it through. However, based on the pilot ratings ... it's not looking good. What the hell Fox. How does Empire get 21 million viewers
and Minority Report get 3?

This review is for Season 2 of Gotham, which premiered 9/22/15

Season 2 started out with a bang, and I was really impressed. The theme for this season is, "Rise of the Villains"
and we will be seeing the creation of some of the most iconic super villains under the same magnifying glass that
season 1 took to Penguin. What really works for Gotham, and I find this quite interesting too, is that, you already know
from Batman movies and comics that each of these super villains survive and become notorious well into the batman era
and yet here we have a show, a good 15 or so years prior to the batman era, and we're learning how they become successful.
What is interesting about this, is that on paper, it doesn't necessarily work. Take any action series for example, we know that the main character
is never going to die, simply because they are the main character, and so every dangerous situation they get involved in, feels sort of forced and their immortality becomes an in-your-face obvious thing, constantly reminding you that its a tv-show and not reality. But for Gotham, this actually works in its favor. You know that each of these characters is going to become a super villain, and because of that, you know not to under-estimate them -- you know their intelligence, or their skills, or their lack of limitations. But you see -- no-one else, in the show knows this. And so, you are rooting for these villains even though they are bad-guys. You learn to love it when things go their way because 9 times out of 10 its because someone under-estimated them. And watching underdogs become the kingpin, is great TV. And Gotham is great TV.

Very funny. Feels sort of like 30 Rock, except with muppets. If you're at all familiar with the muppets -- you know that Kermit is a
pretty normal guy, and everyone else is Peter Griffin or Homer Simpson level stupid. Kermit is trying to run a show that involves
crazy muppets, and he's losing his mind doing so. It has some elements of The Office (one on one interviews), and other successful comedies and
very much feels like an amalgamation of all the modern greats. If you were a fan of the Muppet movies, you will also appreciate this show.
The writing is good, there were some great one liners.

The Bastard Executioner feels like someone was fired from the writing team of Game of Thrones and decided to create their own, identical show just to spite the rest of the GoT writers.

You have a classic medieval setting, and a hero assuming another's identity sort of like Banshee and based on the first two episodes ... it doesn't seem like anything is going to happen or it can really go anywhere. The pilot had some intense violence scenes however, there was little to no action choreography, it was just as brutal and gorey as they could make it in the most un-cool pointless way. How do you take a giant battle scene and make it boring? It was pretty impressive. Anyway, if you're a fan of GoT or Outlander, you might like this show -- but it really isn't offering anything new or special.

Feels like a super slow moving documentary that is Interesting, but not very exciting and doesn't make you care about any of the characters. Gave up after two episodes.
It's well done, but there are a lot of pointless scenes and ultimately nothing really happens.

I finally hopped on board. This show is as good as everyone says. It's really great.

IF you like Gravity Falls and Adventure Time,
You'll love this

Defiance Season 3 has been a LOT better than 1 and 2.
It's taken a long while to come into itself but its finally established a format. Now that we know each of the characters' typical behavior, its highly interesting watch how they react to new situations. So far the plot for this season has been rather basic -- a new bad guy has appeared, and a new species has been thrown into the mix, but the writing has been really strong, characters have been dying left and right, and there's no lack of action either. I think it's taken 2 seasons but I finally look forward to watching Defiance each week instead of, Ehh... Defiance is on tonight.
