https://youtu.be/faRl5Bea-Go 7/10 “The Sopranos” came to an end in June 2007, one month after I graduated high school and worked as a pool cleaner. Despite having never watched a single second of the show, I vividly remember what a pop culture phenomenon the show and particularly the ending was. My boss and I would listen … Continue reading The Sopranos Season 6

https://youtu.be/y4tqo1ajeUk 7/10 Breaking the tradition of odd numbered seasons falling short of their mark, “The Sopranos” penultimate season isn’t as strong as seasons two and four, but was a solid season that ends on a high note and prepares us as we head into the final season, which is roughly a third longer than every … Continue reading The Sopranos Season 5

https://youtu.be/npiFnmradE4 4.5/10 After a surprisingly impressive debut season, the second and final season takes a rather sharp decline in quality, which I am sure was partly what contributed to lower ratings and the show’s cancellation, despite the plot setting up for a third season that would never come to fruition. This second season manages to … Continue reading Wayward Pines Season 2

https://youtu.be/JJh3AGYCivE 8.5/10 After a slow start in season one, a phenomenal season two and a slight slump in season three, season four takes the show back on the upswing, delivering what is so far the best season yet. It appears that the even numbered seasons are the best and the odd numbered seasons miss the … Continue reading The Sopranos Season 4

https://youtu.be/RsQ9Fl0VCkk 7.5/10 What do you get when you take “The Twilight Zone” combined with Stephen King and sprinkle in some “The Truman Show” with “Lost”? You get “Wayward Pines”, which made me remember that basic network TV shows can still be solid. I’m so used to watching shows on HBO, Showtime, Netflix, etc. that I … Continue reading Wayward Pines Season 1

https://youtu.be/3OPVQJJ2vFg 6.5/10 After giving the debut season a 5/10 and its sophomore season an 8/10, season three falls in the middle overall. As is the case with many shows who hold onto the same creative talent for the entire duration of the series, many elements that work early on, continue to throughout each and every … Continue reading The Sopranos Season 3

https://youtu.be/5avd9_8rXH0 6.5/10 The final season in a series that flew by rather quickly, this third season is easily better than the first season but falls short of the show’s peak in season two. A complaint I had with the debut season was too many filler episodes. Episodes where the plot doesn’t advance at all due … Continue reading Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3

https://youtu.be/uVTSewO_Xjk 6.5/10 It is a shame that “The Purge” was cancelled after this sophomore season since the second season was a step up from the first. Low ratings is what lead to its cancellation which is too bad because if more people would have stuck around from the first season to the second, they would … Continue reading The Purge Season 2

https://youtu.be/_x3tziB7MtU 5.5/10 Something the Purge franchise has in common is that generally all of the films within it have a great premise and interesting jumping off point but end up in either mediocrity or inferiority due to a lack of (no pun intended) execution and extreme political propaganda. While re-watching each film to pregame for … Continue reading The Purge Season 1

https://youtu.be/vHT9bumvQjM 8/10 After giving the first season a 4/10 (to the anger of multiple family members) and not looking forward to season 2, I am as thrilled as I am pleasantly surprised that season 2 is a night and day improvement over the first season. Before I get into why this season is a complete … Continue reading Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2
