Jason Issacs is a spot on Cary Grant, this show is a wonder, so fun to watch, I've only seen the first two episodes but completely diggin it, and can't wait to see the last two

This show is simply awful, the main character is so reserved as to be insulting to the audience, I made it tho and a half episodes being bored and annoyed before I decided this was yet another better forgotten SW offering. My ranking still stands Star Wars, Empire, Rogue One, Andor, The Mandalorian and Solo, nothing else is worth a first watch. I don't go in for the animated stuff, at all, not even once. Ahsoka was upsetting seeing in how with all the resources and cast, they could have done it well, but lack of imagination, and talent doomed it. Blech.

The Winter King is so freaking bad, after so many Camelot, and period productions including Game of Thrones, the best MGM studios could do was something worse than Britannia? For gods sake, this is a complete and utter miss, and I couldn't make it through the second episode.

While iv'e enjoyed seasons past, including the animated bit they put out that one year, after watching an episode and a half of this last season 3 a couple things became clear, there are too many subplots/charecters to the point that I simply tune out all the names and don't care, focussing instead on the main three, and lastly that I'm bored. It's become something tiresome, and I shut it off after a couple episodes, maybe I'll revisit, probably not.

This show was better than it had any right to be, I mean I've seen dozens of time travel shows before, and by all intents and purposes this just looked like just another stylized British also ran series, but it's actually really well made, the story is surprisingly good, the cast is top notch, the goofy is actually funny. Blew thru the first season in a day, can't wait til the second comes out. I enjoyed this thoroughly.

This show should be called: Nothing But Deus Ex Machine (no really all of it every line of diolouge every scene nothin but), it's so obvious and boring regardless of the fact it's produced with top notch special effects and casting, there's litterally nothing there, here. Made it 4 episodes then tapped out, this show is simply bad.

You know, the last scene of the first episode where Barry goes mcahine mode and just headshots the thugs on the street hooked me, but to be painfully honest, it's never gotten as good as that since. All the Hollywood inside baseball stuff is interesting but just that and nothing more, the cast is outstanding but the writting and story have left me cold more often than not. I'm not seeing the deeper meaning here, and the pyrotechnics are few and far between. I give Barry a meh out of 10.

I liked this first season immensely, even though, and I grant, there are some situations they have had to have gotten wrong, and make my eyes roll. I liked it much more than I didn't, and it kept me interested until the last episode. I hope they bring this back for a second season. I've suffered, and ended early, many much worse productions over the past couple years, and this was an easy watch.

This looks like it exactly my kind of goofy, and just over the top enough to actually keep me interested. Gilpin, and the entire cast are excellent in this, and the writing hasn't let them, the directors, or me down thru the first 4 episodes. I'm so totally into this. Here's to next week.

Not very good at all, though I'm a **** for a period piece, and the production values are off the charts, this is nothing but a downer, full of dread, but i'm going to keep watching it nonetheless

This was legitimately unwatchable, what could have been interesting was instead a show populated by the idiotic and boring, I was watching the first episode waiting for something, anything at all interesting to happen, and the episode ended, and i was left thinking what did I just watch, a whole lot of nothing, not inspiring, not entertaining, so i put on the second episode made it another 10 minutes of literally nothing happening, and that was it, I tapped out.

Man I love this show so much. When I first heard about a Perry Mason origin series with Robert Downey Jr, I was like ok, I will for sure check this out. Not knowing anything about the original TV series, at all. Then I heard the guy from The Americans, another show I tried to watch but never got into, was replacing RDJ, I thought well I'm probably not going to watch this either. Then I saw the first episode last year, and this show is doing Raymond Chalder esque Los Angeles film noir hard boiled detective fiction right. It's beautifully shot by people who get the genre and the city, it's just so damn good. This first ep of the second season takes up where the last left off, and I'm so looking foward to this bit of heaven on Monday nights for the next few months. What a treat!

being exposed (see what i did there) to the canon for the first time, i'm like, alright, this is nothing the walking dead hasn't done before, only there are wwz fast zombies here, great, got it. not sure i'm into the last of us for the long haul, there is so much great tv to watch, and i expected so much more from all the hype around the game and into the show being released. will check it out next week, but if i'm not wowed i'm pretty sure i'm not going to make it to episode 3.

Andor is Epic in both scope and depth in what Star Wars always was down deep at it's core. Before this show I ranked the Star Wars universe: Star Wars (no i won't ever be calling it that other thing), Empire Strikes Back, Rogue One, then The Mandalorian. Episode 8 of Andor, was one of the most astounding, unexpected hours of television I've ever watched in my life.

No, this wasn't the western I've been waiting for. Casting, and cinematopgraphy are topest of top notch, but where this show fails is it's direction. The production got too cute by half in it's constant use of riddle speech, and the "wait it will ball be fleshed out before it ends" style of story telling, after the first thee episodes it became so annoying as to distract. I couldn't read any of the actors faces for what they meant when they were talking, lot's of confusing charecter choice which never really made sense. I was left with the feeling of what could have been, and grateful it was finally over.

In this day and age, if you open a vampire show with a scene showing a vampire who's never experienced a sunrise, standing in the middle of an open area, unprotected in any way, just waiting to be fried, and of course gets fried, I'm going to take a very dim view of the minds behind the entire enterprise. Took me about 10 minutes after that to say, nah, and shut it off.

I figured this was going to be a waste of time, and yet another low level production from Starz. The first episode was surprisingly entertaining. I'm a **** for period piece edutainment, and knowing nothing about this period of time in France/Italy/et all, seeing Charles Dance pull off a particularly naughty Pope was really great. While always a fan of Sam Morton, Liv Hill's young Catherine de' Medici was captivating. Im in, and will be checking this out weekly.

The first two episodes of this show were freaking EPIC! This is defo on my schedule, and I hope the children go concentrate on other things, and leave the fun fantasy alone. (someone, who is not me has edited my review, deleting entire swaths of it, lol, I didn't know that happened on this website)

SOLID first episode, and much better than I had any expectation of it being. I've been upset since GOT season 5 when it started tanking. Had no hopes that HOTD was going to be anything other than a stale moneygrab, but I gotta say I was more than pleasantly surprised by it's first offering, I'm in, and Sunday night Westeros is appointment TV once again.

Yeah, I didn't get it. I get that's it's an "authentic" cinema verite type of behind the scenes look at culinary art & kitchen chef culture placed in a type of chicago italian beef sandwich shop you wouldn't typically think would have this sort of structure, but it's just not interesting enough to keep my attention for a 10 episode season. The backround story about the guys brother slowly revealing itself wasn't all that interesting either. I made it 5 episodes before I pulled the plug.

Yeah, this is pretty bad. I rate Star Wars as Star Wars, Empire, Rogue One, SOLO, and nothing else even registers (yeah that one too), then the TV shows as Mandalorian, Boba Fett, and this piece of throwback unimpressive nonsense. Best thing about the show is baby leia, both Obi and Vader are as boring as they were in the prequels. I'm bored, and this was a complete miss.

Wow, what a powerful and meaningful first episode of the third season. I was litteraly blown away with how good this was. I'm so glad this show is back, as a palate cleanser to the absolutely awful New Star Trek series they've been trying to shove down our throats. Here's to The Orville, and many more seasons to come!

This series is so. much. fun. If you love The Godfather, and are a person of a certain age, watching this behind the scenes, making of, docu-comedy-drama of the process with all the hollywood/corporate, political, social, and actual mafioso scuttlebutt is pure pleasure. Not sure what the "experts" were watching to give it such a low score, but after 3 episodes, I'm delighted and can't wait for the rest. Everyone is really well cast except Juno Temple, who I could do with less of, and is completely out of her element here.

Halo is really really good. Knowing nothing about the games and the lore, and watching the lackluster trailer, I was expecting B level scifi, this is not that, this is scifi on part with The Expanse, maybe not in the writing, maybe not in the overarching narrative, but the scifi is out of this world. I'm enjoying this thoroughly and hope more seasons are on offer. This is great stuff.

This turned out to be so very good. I litteraly could not watch past the first episode, I was like, ok, this is weird in a way I don't like very much, I'm not going to invest my time. Then after the season ended, and I saw all the scores staying high, I was bored and decided why not. This show is so full of intersting paralels with work, corporatism, capitalism, religion, self help, socializing, community, family, it just gets deeper and deeper the longer it goes. It's for sure a slow burn, but it's not a magic box so much as it shows you what's in the box right away. Can't wait til season 2.

Through 4 episodes **** is wonderful, vibrant, existential storytelling. For someone neither Korean nor Japanese it's a window into a world I knew very little about prior to this, but the show isn't bogged down by the education, it's so much more, it's such a good "show" from the sets, locations, acting, writting, directing, everything about this is thougroughly enjoyable. More please, yes thank you.

Slow Horses is right up my alley, British Spy fiction with a twist. Also ran MI5 rejects all put in one place to keep an eye on, with rich character histories of failure. It's delicious. First two eps are great, this is a treat.

This is a lovely show, about a real piece of mid century Americana, and the precursor to all food television everywhere. Thanks Julia!

I really liked the first season of Picard a lot. This first episode of the seond season was a mess, from the "oh your partner/other actor on this show isn't here because he died/wasn't invited back, let's justify it by saying romulans get over one death by immediately getting under someone else" lmfao and it only got worse from there. oh my gosh so cringe, the whole thing.

I can't think of a more guilty pleasure than this show. If you loved Downton Abbey, you're gonna dig this. Every show is just so delicious. I'm thoroughly digging it.

I give it a 6 because the production value is off the charts, but the acting is wooden, and the fight choreography is insulting. I mean they had a sure fire hit, if they simply stuck with what worked on The Mandalorian, but the lackadaisical editing can't save Temuera Morrison from the goddawful direction. They gave Robert Rodriguez a shot but that's enough of that, let's not do that again.

If you've got nothing better to watch Vigil was alright, the sub/navy stuff is interesting in a "hunt for red october"/"crimson tide" kinda way, but the story does get a bit ploding

I do love me a good western, haven't' seen many good one's on TV lately, a little bored of Yellowstone after it got REAL soapy after the first season, but figured I'd give this a try and the first two episodes were good. Faith Hill is a good actor, Tim McGraw is not bless his heart he's trying so hard, the superstar cameos are fun, and the supporting cast are fine, you will always get me to tune in for Sam the man Elliot. This is now in my rotation.

Loved the first season of The Witcher, but this second season I just finished was just alright, didn't kick into gear until the 6th episode out of 8, which was too much front padding. It looked nice, but it was plodding. Guess we'll be getting plenty of more seasons which I'm fine with.

Station Eleven is right up my alley, a true dystopian "after" world both crafted and expansive. I'm digging the first three episodes immensely, the cast is top notch (though I really could have done without the Laura Petty again), and the story is increasingly fascinating. Getting shades of The Stand and I'll be eagerly awaiting next weeks installment, wish I could binge the whole season right meow.

6 episodes in, and this is better than bad. The Japanese with English subtitles is an interesting schtick, the animation is clunky but beautiful. Not the best thing I've ever seen but I keep tuning in.

This entire show was nothing but an entire tease. For those who complain sci fi doesn't go into depth in their charecter studies, this show was nothing but charecter studies, small talk, and glacial plot development. I kept tuning in each week to see if this would be the week they'd break the story open, and get into the nitty gritty of what was happening, but they never did. Now I hear it's coming back for another season, and I'll most likely hate watch it next year too, to see if they ever explain things, lol.

Through 4 episodes this series has been fantastic, it's so meaty. It's top shelf fantasy television, not sure what all the book **** are on about but I've been enjoying this more and more each ensuing episode. Ignorance is bliss, yet again.

Yeah, no. This felt like a drag, Steinfeld is doing her best rich emo riot grrl thing here, and Remmer is doing his same old disaffected, hey I'm not really a superhero thing, and it was pretty painful to watch. Turned the first episode off a couple times before I muddled through it. I'll check out episode 3 and decide whether it's worth any more of my time or not.

This show is amazing. Knowing nothing about LoL going in, but begina big fantasy, DnD back in the day guy, this things blowing my tiny brain. The animation is off the charts, the story is great, the voice work top notch. And only two "proffesional" reviewers bothered to check it out, lol. This is an undiscovered jewel of tv right now.

This was good, at least the first two episodes were. Guess Dalgleish is the fictional character PD James made her bones in the literary world with, like Conan Doyle did with Holmes. Never read any of the books, or have seen any of the previous on screen versions of this character, but I did very much enjoy the stoic almost seething detective from Scotland Yard. Will be tuning in weekly for more.

It's an audacious triumph that resonates in every society which has serious social and financial inequities, which is all of them. I'm not sure how he can keep the freshness and innegunity up to the same level for season 2, but I'll check it out, hoping he does.

A feast for the eyes, and thoroughly enjoyable scifi excellence through 2 episodes. Getting a bit tired of the washed out grey new world thing a la raised by wolves, but I guess that's how it was written. Enormous world building I can follow and appreciate. On my rotations now.

This was so surprisingly excellent. I didn't know what to expect, some weird puppet show I guess, but I check out the first episode, and it's exactly up my alley. Noir, comedy, deadpan musical numbers, this things a hoot and a holler. I'm hooked.

I was so surprised by Dave last season, that last scene at the end of the first episode was so much fun it hooked me, and I was delighted by pretty much all of last season. These first two episodes of this season were pretty much a bummer, Dave's a real jerk, and there wasn't enough actual hip hop to keep me entertained. Got the feeling moreso that it's a lesser ATLANTA, than a fresh new something anymore. Hope it gets better, but so far it's just a meh.
