7/10 The first season of “Deadwood” was well made and interesting but a bit on the slow and underwhelming side when it was all said and done. First seasons of shows always have the disadvantage of having to establish all of the characters (which is even harder when a show has as many characters as … Continue reading Deadwood Season 2

8/10 When I reviewed “The Crown” I stated how I am not big into British, royalty related shows because I can often find them to be rather dry and boring. “The Crown” was a pleasant surprise and infused historical events really well into the show. Well in honor of the “Downton Abbey” film coming out … Continue reading Downton Abbey Season 1

6/10 In preparation for the HBO movie culminating this show, which apparently ended abruptly and wasn’t given a proper send off, I figured I would check this show out and then watch the movie so see how they all stack up. This show ran from 2004-2006, back when I was in high school so it … Continue reading Deadwood Season 1

6.5/10 Based off of the 2015 Norwegian limited series (also available to view on Netflix at the time of publishing this review), this American remake almost has nothing in common with the original series, which is a good thing. Even though I actually found that original series to be slightly stronger overall, I respect the … Continue reading Maniac (2018) Season 1

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
