American Horror Story: Murder House (season 1) - 7/10
There's a talented cast here but the show itself has a bit of an identity crisis. It can't seem to decide if it wants to be scary, funny or just a melodrama that happens to have ghosts.
The rules of the ghosts are really bizarre and can...
The Haunting of Bly Manor - 2/10
Oh my god, this sucks so much.
The Haunting of Hill House was an effective horror show full of menace that sometimes overstepped the line into hokey territory, but the tone still kept things tense and the show was always able to recover from occasionally...
Japan Sinks 2020 - 5/10
Meh. Boring and cliche, tried to hard to be poignant and just ended up as a checklist of bad luck and dumb decisions to up the drama.
Gotham season 5 - 8/10
Season five is only 12 episodes long and the first 11 of those are the No Man's Land arc.
With less villains than the comics to pull from it was interesting to see the NML arc play out but it was done quite well and brought the spotlight back to Jim Gordon, which was...
Gotham season 4 - 7.5/10
Death was abolished because science in season 2, here in season 4 straight up magic exists so death is no longer a threat to anybody.
Still, season 4 is a nice middle ground of the fantastical and procedural. The season often forgets that this is supposed to be Jim...
Gotham season 3 - 7/10
Since season 2 embraced the more supernatural side of the Batman mythology and abolished death, season 3 has characters coming and going like bloody Yo-Yos.
No one stays dead. They so much don't stay dead that even the characters mention it.
Though, this season doesn't...
Gotham season 2 - 6.5/10
If the first season was a slow burn that sometimes dipped into the absurd, season two is a mischievous rat wearing clothing made out of fruit loops.
We get a lot of villains, meta-human super powers and a bat-**** crazy finale that is both ridiculous and brilliant and...
Gotham season 1 - 8/10
The only DC TV show I've ever enjoyed. Good cast, good tone, consistent writing and quite compelling.
It sometimes dips into the silly realm with the likes of the 'Venom' episode but these moments are very few and far between.
I could have done without Fish Mooney's...
24 season 2 - 5/10
Literally half of this season was decent. Keifer's plot was fine, but the whole other side of the show with Elisha Cuthbert is so pointless and such a waste of time.
24 season 1 - 8/10
Good start to what would become a world famous series. There were a few contrived plot twists but Keifer Sutherland makes it all work.
Absolutely Fabulous - 9/10
This is the only toffee nosed, Southern born sitcom I can actually stomach, it strikes a better balance than One Foot in the Grave ever did.
Season one of Brooklyn Nine Nine.
I'd only ever heard of this show but was never interested in watching it. For some reason my guys decided to and it was actually really enjoyable. It's like Scrubs but with cops.
8/10
X-Files season 2 - 6/10
Not as exciting as the first season and there were some God awful episodes that really gave early traces of an identity crisis.
Finished the first season of the X-Files. I'm late to the game on X-Files but I very much enjoyed the first season, there was a lot more filler than I expected and I assumed they'd leave room for reasonable doubt in the cases but nope, we've got full on ghosts, slithery men and brazen...
Orange is the new black - 1/10
Didnt wanna watch this but it was playing in my presence, somehow ive seen all of the other seasons too and this one was by far the worst seasons. Glad this show is over now.
Netflix Genesis Evangelion- 0/10
WHAT THE **** DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, NETFLIX?!
The original NGE is one of my favourite anime of all time and it makes me cry with how powerful it is.
Netflix's version of NGE makes me cry for wholly different reasons.
This. Is. Trash.
I was happy to hear...
Black Mirror seasons 2-5; 6/10
There are some thought provoking and well acted episodes in this show, but there are some absolute clunkers.
The good is fine but the bad is terrible!
Black Mirror season 1 - 6/10
I liked the first episode. It was compelling and intense.
The second episode only got traction near the end.
The third episode didnt click with me at all
I see what thr show is attempting to do and the message it has but it comes off as feeling tacky and overly...
The Frankenstein Chronicles - 6/10
A nice spin on the Frakenstein idea and it has the always on top form Sean Bean in the lead role.
I'll watch anything with him in.
"**** Batman"

Doctor Who series 2- 8/10
I was never too amazed by Tennant but after season 8-11 even the trash episode of RTD's reign as showrunner are gold compared.
I am intrigued by her and I do hope that rhe new showrunners and writers have it together.
It is such an absolute shame that Capaldi's Doctor was absolutely decimated by horrific writing because he is a top quality actor.
Jodie's Doctor is a very important piece of history and I don't want to...
I saw it last week and thought it was okay. I think after not enjoying DW for so long I just don't want to dive back in, it hurt too much for too long and don't want that again.
I think i'm happy with Matt's regen being my fitting end.
