TV Review: Iron Fist (Season 1)

**Some spoilers in this review** This show takes a long time to find its footing, and even then, may only appeal to Marvel Comics and martial arts fans. The series just doesn’t clearly define what it is about. By the end of the first episode or two of the other Marvel Netflix shows, I could… Read More: TV Review: Iron Fist (Season 1) »

TV Review: Stranger Things (Season 1)

*This review may contain minor spoilers* This is a solid show. Great acting, special effects and pacing make the eight episodes fly by. This series really seemed to come out of nowhere. It was released over the summer, and the hype has continued to grow. I had no idea what to expect going in. I… Read More: TV Review: Stranger Things (Season 1) »

TV Review: Luke Cage (Season 1)

***This review will contain spoilers****   A strong cast, with fleshed-out characters, make up for a uneven plot and a weak second-half  of the season. After being introduced on “Jessica Jones,” Luke Cage returns. Throughout the season, and thanks to an origin story, we finally get to see what makes him tick. Mike Coulter is… Read More: TV Review: Luke Cage (Season 1) »

TV Review: Arrow (Season 4)

*This review contains some spoilers* While improving on last season, this season of “Arrow” hasn’t recaptured the magic from its first two seasons. A lot of steps were taken to move things closer to the comic book version of the characters. Starling City is now Star City, The Arrow is now The Green Arrow. The… Read More: TV Review: Arrow (Season 4) »

TV Review: The Flash (Season 2)

*The review contains some spoilers** After the amazing first season, this season had a lot to live up to. When it succeeds, it does spectacular. Unfortunately, there are a lot of missteps.  After teasing Jay Garrick and Earth-2 to end things, we quickly get a taste of things to come. While the “Escape from Earth… Read More: TV Review: The Flash (Season 2) »

TV Review: Legends of Tomorrow (Season 1)

*Contains minor spoilers*   With a cool premise and a unique mix of characters, there was potential for this show to be a hit. However, early on it becomes obvious that the season would be a mess. It took too long in a short season for these characters to gel, and even then they never… Read More: TV Review: Legends of Tomorrow (Season 1) »

TV Review: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (Season 3)

*Some spoilers included* Another solid season from “Agents of SHIELD,” but there’s always something seemingly holding it back from greatness. Part of the problem is the pacing. The show hurries through some interesting storylines while dragging out others that don’t really payoff. There’s also too many moments where the show tries to inject humor and… Read More: TV Review: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (Season 3) »

TV Review: Supergirl (Season 1)

** This review contains spoilers**  A very uneven show that makes some important course corrections early, but never truly finds its footing. The season started with a poor setup. While the Supergirl character was always going to work, everything else seemed like it was bound to fail. The icy boss, the best friend who may… Read More: TV Review: Supergirl (Season 1) »

TV Review: Daredevil (Season 2)

**This review will contain some spoilers** Season 2 of Daredevil features a great cast, well-choreographed action sequences and popular elements from the comic book. However, poor execution in the second half of the season mars the terrific start. The three main returning cast members (Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Wolf and Eldon Henson) still have great… Read More: TV Review: Daredevil (Season 2) »

TV Review: Jessica Jones (Season 1)

**This review will include minor spoilers** While not packing the superhero action and themes of the “Daredevil” TV series, “Jessica Jones” is quite entertaining thanks to its leading lady and primary villain. If you’re expecting the typical superhero saving the day storylines, you won’t get it. This show is more about a private investigator, who… Read More: TV Review: Jessica Jones (Season 1) »
