- CreatorNoah HawleyStarsBilly Bob ThorntonMartin FreemanAllison TolmanVarious chronicles of deception, intrigue, and murder in and around frozen Minnesota. All of these tales mysteriously lead back one way or another to Fargo, North Dakota.I was so hyped I was sure to be let down. But nope. Season 1 was nothing short of amazing, season 2, while not on the level of the first one, was still very entertaining with lots of characters to follow, and season 3 was on par with the first one. The mood, the acting, the writing, the music, everything's superb here. V. M. Varga will be haunting my nightmares for eternity.
- CreatorPhoebe Waller-BridgeStarsPhoebe Waller-BridgeSian CliffordOlivia ColmanSeries adapted from the award-winning play about a young woman trying to cope with life in London whilst coming to terms with a recent tragedy.Only the first season was watched so far, but this is a show that takes around 30 seconds to know it's brilliant. It's weird, depressing, exhilarating, you hate all the characters, you love all the characters, you don't know what it's about but you can't take your eyes away. ♥ Phoebe.
- CreatorScott AlexanderLarry KaraszewskiSarah BurgessStarsSarah PaulsonAnnaleigh AshfordSterling K. BrownAn anthology series centered around America's most notorious crimes and criminals.The Assassination of Gianni Versace popped up on Netflix on early 2019. The structure is very very very different from what they did for The People v. O.J. Simpson (and this is what makes it surprising), but the attention to characters is still very much there. The story is heartbreaking (and I had no idea about the whole thing), and the cast is on point. Bonus points for Ricky Martin which is really convincing.
- CreatorBruce MillerStarsElisabeth MossYvonne StrahovskiAnn DowdSet in a dystopian future, a woman is forced to live as a concubine under a fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship.The rest of season 1 was watched, and it was even better than the first four. S01E07 and S01E08 were simply excellent. I can't wait for the following seasons (yes I know they're already out).
- CreatorCraig MazinStarsJessie BuckleyJared HarrisStellan SkarsgårdIn April 1986, the city of Chernobyl in the Soviet Union suffers one of the worst nuclear disasters in the history of mankind. Consequently, many heroes put their lives on the line in the following days, weeks and months.
- CreatorJed MercurioStarsRichard MaddenSophie RundleVincent FranklinTroubled war veteran turned Police Officer David Budd is assigned to the Metropolitan Police's Specialist Protection Branch.
- CreatorJon FavreauStarsPedro PascalChris BartlettKatee SackhoffThe travels of a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.After 14 years of patience since George Lucas first promised a Star Wars live action series, fans finally got their wish. And it didn't disappoint.
In a world of big Netflix and HBO shows, Disney went all in with the production value: the VFX, the sets, the costumes, the props, the cast, everything's basically as top notch as a Star Wars movie. They chose to follow - CreatorJenji KohanStarsTaylor SchillingDanielle BrooksTaryn ManningConvicted of a decade-old crime of transporting drug money, ordinarily law-abiding Piper Chapman is sentenced to 18 months behind bars and quickly discovers the realities of life-changing prison time.We somehow resumed it, and ended up watching all of season 5 (the riot season) and half of season 6 (the consequences season). It was honestly still quite enjoyable, with enough good plot and new characters to keep it fresh.
- CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.Final season!
There's a lot to say about this. But to keep it short: I LOVED IT.
I know, I know, people have a lot of qualms with that season, but truth be told, I'm only truly disappointed with the last episode, and only barely with the penultimate one. I'm okay with the Battle of Winterfell and its twists, I'm okay with Daenerys' choice, I'm okay with the sack of King's Landing. Only the weird scorpion efficiency issue, the complete change of mind of Jaime and the Cleganebowl really rustled my jimmies. Oh and I wish the final episode was longer, because it brought way more questions than it answered. It also felt... strangely anti-climactic. I guess maybe one day we'll get to compare with the books to find out what's D&D's fault and what's GRRM's... - CreatorFanny HerreroStarsCamille CottinThibault de MontalembertGrégory MontelFrench serial about the lives and jobs of people working at a talent agency in Paris.We finally caught up! The second season just couldn't get rid of the issue of the new boss, but finished on a high note with Juliette Binoche. And while the new boss is still very much here in the third season, it's surprisingly less annoying, mostly thanks to the new character arcs I'm guessing, which are pretty entertaining. For this one, the Isabelle Hubert episode took the cake.
Oh and the next one is the final season, so it looks like they won't overstay their welcome. - CreatorCarrie BeckDave FiloniKiri HartStarsChristopher SeanScott LawrenceJosh BrenerKazuda Xiono, a young pilot for the Resistance, is tasked with a top secret mission to investigate the First Order, a growing threat in the galaxy.The show is slowly continuing its antics and has proved to be both silly and more serious.
After a lot of harmless fun, as the first season advanced, it grew darker up until we reached TFA story-wise. The second season very quickly caught up to TLJ, and the tension is slowly getting back to where the show was a season ago. I'm not expecting this to go on for long as the second season will be the last... - CreatorDan GoorMichael SchurStarsAndy SambergStephanie BeatrizTerry CrewsComedy series following the exploits of Det. Jake Peralta and his diverse, lovable colleagues as they police the NYPD's 99th Precinct.It's still great. Even with a cancellation/resurrection and Gina on the way out, every episode is loads of fun, the traditions are still there, the plot slowly moves forward (for a sitcom...), we're still hooked! Bring on season 7!
- CreatorDan HarmonJustin RoilandStarsChris ParnellSpencer GrammerSarah ChalkeThe fractured domestic lives of a nihilistic mad scientist and his anxious grandson are further complicated by their inter-dimensional misadventures.Only three episodes of season 4 have been seen (out of the five released in late 2019), and so far so good. It's classic R&M, even though it's not quite up there with the best episodes. I really liked the HeistCon episode though.
- CreatorNic PizzolattoIssa LópezStarsVince VaughnColin FarrellRachel McAdamsAnthology series in which police investigations unearth the personal and professional secrets of those involved, both within and outside the law.After years of waiting, season 3 finally happened!
It's very True Detective in every way: the great but surprising cast, the costumes, the themes, the cinematography, the locations (Arkansas!), it's superb in every way.
Like Daredevil, they tried to streamline things after a bigger but messier second season. The main trick here is the three intertwined stories, set in different time periods, like season 1 but more complex.
But for all its perks, it just doesn't succeed the way the two previous seasons did. - CreatorLinwood BoomerMichael GloubermanGary MurphyStarsFrankie MunizBryan CranstonJustin BerfieldA gifted young teen tries to survive life with his dimwitted, dysfunctional family.seasons 6+7
- CreatorCharlie BrookerStarsWunmi MosakuMonica DolanDaniel LapaineFeaturing stand-alone dramas -- sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia -- "Black Mirror" is a contemporary reworking of "The Twilight Zone" with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world.bandersnatch
- CreatorMichael SchurStarsKristen BellWilliam Jackson HarperJameela JamilFour people and their otherworldly frienemy struggle in the afterlife to define what it means to be good.s3!
- CreatorJohn AltschulerMike JudgeDave KrinskyStarsThomas MiddleditchT.J. MillerJosh BrenerFollows the struggle of Richard Hendricks, a Silicon Valley engineer trying to build his own company called Pied Piper.Final season!
Well, they managed to stuff quite a bit inside seven episodes. Great new characters (Gwart?!), interesting arcs, and more Russ! It felt more driven than the last couple of seasons, and the format change for the last episode was pretty well done. It's very bittersweet though, but I wouldn't have any other way. I'm glad they finished it that nicely.
Fuckin' Gabe! - CreatorRussell T. DaviesStarsAnne ReidRory KinnearJessica HynesAs Britain slowly turns into a dictatorship throughout the years, the lives of a typical busy family from Manchester converge on one crucial night in 2019.
- CreatorFrank DarabontStarsAndrew LincolnNorman ReedusMelissa McBrideSheriff Deputy Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma to learn the world is in ruins and must lead a group of survivors to stay alive.
- CreatorRich CohenMick JaggerMartin ScorseseStarsBobby CannavalePaul Ben-VictorP.J. ByrneRichie Finestra, a shrewd record executive from New York, tries to promote American Century, his music label, amidst the changing music scene in the 1970s.We only watched the pilot this year.
And I understand why this wasn't the hit show I thought it would be. It's beautifully made, with great music sequences, but the characters just don't really click; it feels like they're secondary to the mood and feel of that era.
I hope it'll get better for the rest of the show. - CreatorDrew GoddardStarsCharlie CoxVincent D'OnofrioDeborah Ann WollA blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Matt Murdock fights the crime of New York as Daredevil.I finally finished it! In season 3, they basically decided to bring back Fisk in a big way, and added Bullseye to spice things up. It was way more focused than season 2, and it even felt a bit like season 1 from time to time. I liked it.
- CreatorChuck LorreBill PradyStarsJohnny GaleckiJim ParsonsKaley CuocoA woman who moves into an apartment across the hall from two brilliant but socially awkward physicists shows them how little they know about life outside of the laboratory.Final season!
Well, it ended. After 12 years though, whereas I think they should have stopped around 8-9.
For the remainder of season 12, it was really all about ShAmy and their Nobel-worthy theory, and it was mostly very predictable and boring, albeit with a couple a good cameos for the accidental frauds. The most pathetic thing is that they ended the show by making a statement on how Sheldon has improved over the years thanks to his friends, while in the previous episode, he was still doing some insanely egotistical and unsensitive shit, thus proving once again he's the worst human being on the planet.
Bonus points for the D&D episode, which was more than a few notches above the rest. - CreatorSteve LightfootStarsJon BernthalAmber Rose RevahBen BarnesAfter his revenge on those who murdered his family, aimless Marine veteran Frank Castle finds a new meaning in life as a vigilante known as "The Punisher".rest of s1+first half of s2
