    I got completely burnt out on all super-hero shows at the start of the season, and just stopped cold turkey on everything I was watching (Flash, Arrow, Gotham). With the launch two weeks ago of Legends of Tomorrow, spinning off from Flash and Arrow, I got in the mood to watch this kind of stuff…

    After having watched the first 2 episodes of this, I can’t say it’s blowing me away or anything, but it’s the kind of series that my wife and I like to watch together (hidden mystery series, like Lost and Wayward Pines), and so we’re giving it a try. It’s got Sawyer, and Carlton Cuse (co-creator…

    I’d watched a few episodes of Rick and Morty a couple of years ago, when they first aired, and loved them, but then kinda forgot to keep up with the show. As I’m playing the Pocket Mortys game right now, I figured it was a good time to catch up on the show, and in…

  • The X-Files

    After an uneven start, I thought the second episode of the new X-Files mini-series was rather good. It felt like one of the better old school monster-of-the-week episodes, and no wonder, since it was written/directed by James Wong, who was good at those. In terms of the first episode, my thoughts pretty much echo the…

    I’ve been watching this series for years – a 4-episode documentary series that follows the two teams that will meet at the Winter Classic – and I was especially interested this year since the Habs were part of it. Unfortunately, it sucks that the period that is covered in the series (December) was such a…

  • Doctor Who

    Another series I find myself enjoying again is Doctor Who. I was a big fan of the series ever since its modern relaunch (with Christopher Eccleston), and stuck with it until the start of the season with Peter Capaldi (season 8). I didn’t have anything against Capaldi, it was more me finding myself enjoying the…

    This is another one of those series that I’ve been meaning to watch for what feels like forever, and I finally decided to go ahead and make the jump  – it’s a bit daunting, considering the series just started an 11th season. I’m almost through the first season (which is only 7 episodes long), and…

    I’ve been watching season 3 of Maron on Netflix, and after what felt like a bit of a lackluster second season, I’m finding this one to be really great so far (I’m about half-way through it). I’m a long-time listener of his WTF podcast, and was really excited when this series first launched, so it’s…

  • Sherlock: The Abominable Bride

    I’m finding that I’ve really fallen out of love with this series. I was really into it during the first couple of seasons, but then never managed to watch all 3 episodes in the 3rd one, and although I watched this special, I wasn’t particularly captivated by it. It offers up a neat idea –…

  • Halt and Catch Fire

    I love this series so much, it’s ridiculous. There’s something about tech and computing in the 80s that I find so damn sexy, and this show is basically 80s computing porn, with a good cast and good storyline. Oh, and the music is fantastic too. I just recently watched the first season on Netflix –…
