  • Gotham Season 2

    There seems to be a lot of love-hate for Gotham out there – most of my friends who watch a bunch of the super-hero shows (like Flash and Arrow) have all given up on it. I found myself enjoying the first season though, especially for the Penguin character, who I felt was the true standout.…

    I was lucky enough to get to attend an advanced screening of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie earlier this week, and I gotta say, I really, really liked it. It’s no secret I’m a spy buff, with a mild (OK, not so mild) obsession with Bond, and so when I first saw the trailer for…

    I remember that when this series launched they had a bunch of promo videos online with the two stars singing songs, and at that point I already knew I’d love it. Since it’s on Netflix now (it’s originally an IFC series) I started watching it, and it’s just as good as I hoped. Love these…

    Didn’t really know about this series until the recent launch of the second season, but sounded fun so decided to start watching the first season. I’ve watched 3 episodes far, and yeah, this show is great. The voice casting is inspired too, it’s fun to recognize the guest actors. Glad I have a whole bunch…

    I’ll admit that the movie was something I finally only got to recently – it was one of those things I’d been meaning to watch for ages, but just never got around to it. I finally watched it about a month ago, prompted by the promise of the soon-to-start Netflix series, and it ended up…

    Since getting access to a whole lotta new apps on Apple TV, I was browsing through the ABC one, and decided to check out this show. I remember thinking it sounded just awful when first announced, but I’d since heard that it was actually pretty decent, and having watched 2 episodes now, I gotta say…

    Man, based on the first episode, this series is fantastic, and I still don’t quite get what it’s doing airing on the USA network (not the place I’d expect to find quality shows). It’s about hacking, and doesn’t feel hokey, and the main character is a revelation – this guy is fantastic to watch. Really…

    This is not a good series. My wife and I did have fun watching it last year, although by the end of season 2 we were pretty much finding it too ridiculous (that egg is so silly) and just kinda lame. But with the 3rd season starting last week, we did decide to check in…

    Another series I’ve been enjoying – and yup, it’s also in the sci-fi genre – is Sense8, the series that the Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski created for Netflix. I’ve still only had the chance to watch the first 2-3 episodes, but I’ve been enjoying it so far. The characters are all quite interesting, and I’m…

  • Wayward Pines

    A series I can now say I am truly enjoying (we’re 5-6 episodes in now) is Wayward Pines. Interestingly, I wasn’t expecting it to be a sci-fi show, but that’s pretty much what we’ve got here, and the big reveal in the 4th or 5th episode really was cool, and not something I was expecting…
