    As I wrote before, I really didn’t like this series when it started, but then when the season was over I kept hearing that it got good, so I binged it, and I did indeed end up liking it – it gets good from the last third of the season. Season 2 has just started,…

    I haven’t watched the second episode yet of this new season, which friends are saying was much better, but I gotta say that I didn’t much care for the season opener. The new Doctor is great, and the bits I did enjoy were because of his characterization. But plot-wise, it was a bore, and really…

  • Downton Abbey

    When season 4 first aired, I watched the first couple of episodes, and was feeling Downton fatigue. I finally decided to give it another chance, and I did get sucked in – it didn’t take long to binge the entire season and the Christmas episode. I am getting to really hate any storyline that involves…

  • Almost Human

    I only just now got around to watching the last 3 episodes of Almost Human, and it got me sad that it got cancelled. It never turned into something that was truly great – it was really missing a strong overarching storyline – but it had some great characters and I loved the setting, and…

    I wasn’t particularly wowed by Under the Dome when it debuted last year, and didn’t watch past the first couple of episodes. They added it to Hulu JP this summer though, and so I ended up watching it with my wife, and didn’t find it all that bad. They’re also airing new episodes from the…

    Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) is on a tear of late, and here’s yet another anime series from him, Terror in Resonance (Zankyo no Terror). Surprise, surprise, it’s pretty much impossible to tell where this is going based on just the first episode, but I’m definitely intrigued, and looking forward to seeing where they…

  • Miss Marple

    After watching Death on the Nile, I got in the mood to watch more Agatha Christie mysteries – which I’m sure would make my parents happy, as they continue to watch all of the series that get produced – and we found that Hulu Japan has the 1984 BBC Miss Marple series. We’ll probably end…

    So this is a sequel series to the movie Legion, which I haven’t seen, but I decided to check out the first episode because I had heard some good things about it – and hey, I like Anthony Head – and also because I’m a bit hungry for genre stuff these days. I don’t know…

    I ended up really getting into Defiance during its first season – after a so-so start – and so been looking forward to the start of the second season. We’re just one episode in, but there are some interesting new things brewing, and so here’s hoping for a satisfying continuation. Feels like there’s really not…

    A show set in the 80s, with the dawn of personal computing as the setting? Holy shit, it’s as if a show creator read my mind, and created exactly the kind of show I’d love to watch. Think Mad Men, but with computers. The show debuted this past weekend, and I absolutely loved the pilot.…
