I liked the cast and the characters. Bad CGI, but if that doesn't bother you, then I would say this show has potential.

Have only watched the first episode. Just a casual Tolkien fan. Read the LOTRings once. Really enjoyed the Jackson trilogy. Hated his Hobbit trilogy. This is better than that, but not by much. It's dull. Really dull. So dull, that I'm not bothering to continue with the show.

Was a solid first episode. Surprisingly focused. Has a different feel than GOT, but that's not a bad thing since the last 2 seasons of GOT were awful.

Just more Marvel fluff. Black Widow was the last good Marvel thing, and that is only because the martial arts in it were decent. Only Star Wars has gone downhill faster than Marvel has.

The section with her powers looked really cheap, but the rest of the first episode was fun and great. Enjoyed it much more than Moon Knight.

Best pilot ep for a Trek show since Emissary. Trek pilots usually range from awful to meh. Anson Mount was great in Discovery, and he's just as great here. Haven't been this excited to watch a next episode since DS9. I like the newer Trek shows, Voyager, and Enterprise--but I think there might be something extra special brewing with this one.

Has always been the Dollar General version of Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, and the last 7 eps are no exception. It's Ozark. You'll like it.

In the geekdom, depending on how many fandoms we're involved with--we tend to grow cynical and get bored. After the meandering but solid second season, the first half of Daredevil season 3 is genuinely jawdropping, disturbing, focused, and scary. Can't wait to finish watching.

Obviously it doesn't have the production values of Game of Thrones, but I have to be honest. I enjoyed it nearly as much as the first season of GOT, and even more than that show's most recent season. This show also has a sense of humor and dialogue that wouldn't be out of place in a Joss Whedon show about a certain Vampire Slayer. Great stuff.

It will be awhile before I forget the closing monologue from the son who has wasted his life trying to prove that the CIA murdered his father. How very, very sad.

It wasn't what I was expecting, but it's a pretty good show. Definitely Fincher light though. Curb your enthusiasm, and you'll probably enjoy it. It's actually a pretty funny show, even though it's about serial killers and the FBI agents trying to get inside their heads.

Based on the first 2 episodes it's very good Trek. Production value is actually higher than usual for a Trek show and the acting was top notch. Haven't met the whole cast yet, because the first 2 eps are kind of a prologue to what the main story will be. The **** crowd hates it because it has a female person of color in the lead role. That is the basis for all these hateful reviews. Sad world we live in.

Wow. I almost always agree with the consensus of critics, but not this time. This is a really fun and funny show. I gave it a chance because I thought the trailer was funny. Glad I did, because the first two episodes have been really great. Not every show has to have the depth of The Leftovers or Twin Peaks to be considered a successful endeavor.

The entire thing just feels silly now. So does real life in America in 2017 though. I'm not sure if this is the dumbest and soapiest House of Cards season ever--or its most brilliant. So, I'm giving it a 5 down the middle. I rolled my eyes and laughed a lot during the season--but I do the same thing every morning when Kim Jong Orange decides to tweet something stupid to the planet. It's fun to watch, I give it that.

Giving it a 10 for originality and for its unique voice. It is a bit uneven in places--another draft or two of the scripts would have helped and some of CK's casting decisions are just plain bad (he nailed all of the main parts though). At the end of the day, it's a very funny, very shocking, and very sad series about a sad, dysfunctional family who run a neighborhood bar.

Starts off brilliantly--and then gets pretty average during the end game. Still a pretty good procedural though. Very well acted all the way around, and I really liked the look of it.

Sorry, but I'm a **** for this kind of "boring" stuff. People just like me under the surface--being treated like they are my betters because of tradition and brainwashing really turns me on for some reason. Well acted, beautifully shot and designed. If you like stories about royalty, you'll dig this.

A bit lazy on a character motivation at the beginning--but pretty darned good premiere. I'm impressed. The acting was very strong (by the men who played the priests especially). Really good special effects and a genuinely creepy atmosphere all the way through it. I'll be tuning in to this one for sure.

Really strong pilot. Pretty much perfect when Sutherland is on the screen. It lags a bit when he's not. We will have to see how strong the subplots are. Interestingly--that was the weakness of 24 in more than a few seasons. Pretty excited to see if this one has legs, once the initial plot is finished.

I think I might look at my funniest friends differently now after watching this very funny and touching "dramedy" if that's a word. Maybe there is something deeper hiding behind their jokes. Really strong comedy, and really strong drama. Great characters. Great dialogue.

A decent first episode. Full disclosure--I've only watched two full seasons--the first two. Made it halfway through the other ones, and thought they all ****. This is a really uneven show--but I keep coming back to it because the actors are top notch, and I keep hoping everything might come together one of these days.

This show has really grown on me. I like it because every time I think it's going to zig left--it zags right. It's very unpredictable in plot and characterization. It reminds me a lot of Mad Men in that way. The 5 main actors are all excellent. Really strong show for AMC. A shame more people don't watch it.

I'm hard pressed to think of a show that starts off so well and then descends into such complete mediocrity that it's almost like watching a completely different show by the time it's finished.

Silliness. AMC doesn't have Heisenberg and Jesse cooking meth anymore--so instead they have close ups of some other guy cooking fancy food while hipster guitar licks play on the soundtrack. Those sequences are cringe worthy. The mob stuff doesn't work either. The only redeeming thing in the show? David Schwimmer isn't bad at all--can't say the same for the show. Bad misstep for AMC.

Never read the comic. Never heard of the comic. Was entertained endlessly throughout the entire premiere even though I didn't know what the hell was going on and still don't. Don't care. Liked it very much. Will continue to watch.

Since Martin isn't the best writer around--the fans figured out how this thing ends a long, long time ago. I don't blame the guy for not wanting to finish writing the books. Why would he? The fans have already finished writing them for him. There are no surprises left in Westeros. That being said--it's still a well produced and acted TV show.

A complete snoozefest--until the last 15 minutes--and then at least the writing was so bad that it added some unintentional humor to entertain everyone. This is a bad show.

Not sure where this is heading--but it's very strong. Only seen 2 episodes. I first saw Aaron Paul in Big Love--and he was the reason I started watching Breaking Bad. He's the reason I started watching this show as well. The man can pick good projects (Need For Speed being an exception to the rule)--and he's actually producing this show. Hugh Dancy from Hannibal is strong too--along with the whole cast. I'm intrigued to see where this is going. Really suspenseful and thought provoking show about faith and religion.

Now this is more like it. After two disappointing seasons, House of Cards rebounds. The fat has been trimmed off the subplots, and the main storyline is much more interesting. Spacey (who frankly seemed bored last season) is wonderful, but it's Robin Wright who the season belongs to. She's pitch perfect. The supporting cast is just as good with a standout being Boris McGiver's work as Tom. Great looking show as always. I'm happy to say again that I"m looking forward to next season already. Welcome back, House of Cards.

It's exactly like Sons of Anarchy--only even sillier. This time it's hillbillies instead of bikers--and they ride 4 wheelers instead of motorcycles. It even stars Opie from Sons of Anarchy playing the exact same character, with the same hair and clothes. It's manly men doing manly things like murdering, robbing, and getting drunk, so I'm sure it will go over big with the Donald Trump alpha male crowd. Everyone else should avoid it like the plague.

The creators of this show have really done something quite difficult. They've created a spin-off show with a completely different tone from its origin (Breaking Bad)--but equal in its quality. It's also not necessary to have seen Breaking Bad to watch and enjoy it, although you'll miss out on a pretty fun Easter Egg hunt each week. One of the top 3 shows on TV right now, and the premiere of the second season was a solid 10. Season 1 is on Netlix now. Go watch and enjoy.

Very disappointing like most of King's adaptations. James Franco is miscast as Jake, the story feels extremely rushed, and it deviates from King's novel so much that it turns a somber meditation on the ills of America over the last 50 years to a Back to the Future remake. If you're going to change a novel (like Kubrick did with the Shining) --by all means create your own art--but don't minimize it by making a joke out of it. Awful.

The brilliance of the early X Files was that you were always given just enough information in the conspiracy episodes to keep watching the conspiracy episodes. None of it was ever really explained--and in the later seasons when the writers tried to give the audience the answers they wanted--it didn't work, because there weren't any answers to begin with. This addendum is a lot of fun though, if you like nostalgia. I was hoping they would be the monster of the week variety--but they are conspiracy based instead. Know what you're getting into ahead of time and you will probably enjoy yourself. Duchovny and Anderson are terrific regardless of my problems with the show.

Should be required viewing for every American. A documentary about an injustice in Wisconsin. Imagine the West Memphis, Arkansas case and then multiply the corruption in that by about a 1000 percent. This is a documentary--but I think it's also one of the greatest horror films ever made.

There hasn't been a show this good on TV since Breaking Bad. I loved the first season--but this one is off to an even stronger start if that's possible. The premiere was perfect.

It's still the show you love. Still the show you roll your eyes at. Still the show with the uneven acting and writing. The season premiere was one of the better overall episodes of the whole series though. Looks like The Walking Dead still has a few tricks left up its sleeve.

Is his show a 10 yet? Of course not, but I'm giving it one anyway to offset these ridiculous zero reviews popping up here purely because of politics. It's a good show so far with a great host.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Really bad compared to the first season. Got the cop who should have probably been a hooker. The self hating **** cop. The psychotic alcoholic cop. The most boring villain since the last time Vince Vaughn played a villain. Add in bad dialogue, and David Morse walking around looking like Jesus Christ Superstar--and you have season 2 of True Detective. It is pretty to look at--I give it 4 for its cinematic qualities. Oh, and it has mean Mexicans in it. Almost forgot.

House of Cards and this show both went down the toilet in their third season. At least House of Cards still had Kevin Spacey. Couldn't even fall back on nudity for entertainment this year--aside from the new girl (Ruby Rose) letting us see her goodies in one pretty good scene.

Once you accept that the premise and a few plot points are going to be absolutely ridiculous--it's more than acceptable to call this show a masterpiece. It's no more ridiculous than the best Batman movies--no more ridiculous than the most wild Tarantino film or Stephen King novel. It's the most violent thing I've ever seen, save for probably A Serbian Film. If you can handle the gore and its thinking man's pace--I think any fan of cerebral horror will be thrilled after a few episodes of watching it. It's really quite amazing. Check it out.

You know the drill by now. This show never grows or develops. Scene after scene of people talking **** about other people intercut with violence and boobs. Is it entertaining? Yes. Stop pretending that it's a top tier show though because it isn't.

The first season was brilliant--the second was far from that, and now this season is even worse. Even Spacey seems bored by the whole silly thing. Bad main plot. Pointless filler galore. Sad.

I'm giving it a 7. It's extremely well written and well acted. However the main problem I have with it is it's main character. He is a miserable sod (understandably) who is mean and rude to everyone around him--and quite honestly it's difficult as an audience member putting up with his moping and woe is me attitude. Found myself wishing he would just suicide by the third or fourth episode. James Nesbitt is a fine actor--but making this character as written as the lead in the show was a mistake.
