7/10 2018’s “Maniac” series on Netflix was my 3rd most anticipated new TV show of the year but once I realized it was loosely based off of this 2015 Norwegian TV show, I had to watch it first for comparison sake. This 10 episode limited series has episodes that are roughly only 22 minutes long … Continue reading Maniac (2015) Season 1

6.5/10 In reviewing a series that has as many seasons as this show has (9), there is bound to be some consistent pros and cons that I assume will continue throughout the entire series. For example, I will always count the canned laughter as a con as well as some of the extremely unrealistic, over … Continue reading How I Met Your Mother Season 3

7.5/10 After season one pleasantly surprised me, I had higher expectations for season two. The hard part about any first season is establishing everything. The characters, the tone, the way the show unfolds, etc. Now that season two is here and we already know the players, they just have to be further developed as they … Continue reading The Crown Season 2

7/10 As someone who loves politics but couldn’t be more bored by British politics, I was skeptical of watching a show that I had little interest in, but had heard good things. After having seen the entire first season, I admit that although a show like this isn’t really my cup of tea (see what … Continue reading The Crown Season 1

7.5/10 “Stranger Things” had a lot to live up to going into season 2 and I think it basically matched up with season 1. If you enjoyed the first season like I did, you will also enjoy this one. If the first season wasn’t your cup of tea, this won’t change your mind. After the … Continue reading Stranger Things Season 2

9/10 “Mindhunter” was my #1 Most Anticipated New TV Show of 2017 and it did not disappoint. The reason I was so intrigued by it was mainly because of director David Fincher (“Fight Club”, “Seven”, “The Social Network”, “Gone Girl”, etc.) whom is easily one of the best directors working today and one of my … Continue reading Mindhunter Season 1

6.5/10 To start off this review I have to be honest and say that it is really hard for me to enjoy comedies with laugh tracks. Laugh tracks, although popular in the 90s and early 00s, really date shows for me, tell you when you should laugh, happen at often unfunny moments, takes you out … Continue reading How I Met Your Mother Season 1

7.5/10 It can be difficult to enter into watching a new show when so much hype has already been created surrounding the show. Before watching this I had heard a ton of positive buzz, which got me excited for the show. Although I really ended up liking “Stranger Things” I will say that some of … Continue reading Stranger Things Season 1

8/10 This was my 2nd most anticipated new television show of 2017 and I was happy with how it turned out. Co-created by Tom Hardy and his father (with writer Steven Knight), this is a British period piece set in 1814. The production design and costume design are key stand outs as they recreate the … Continue reading Taboo Season 1
