The Outpost (2018)
Give it a chance
I'll never understand people who trash a show based on the first few episodes. Just about every show that I've ever enjoyed was awkward in the beginning.
That being said, yes the show is low budget. I'm basing my review on the story that is starting to unfold. I actually find myself wanting to know where the story is going and how these people got there. Fantasy isn't Sci-Fi. You don't need a ton of CGI and explosions. You just need a few good actors that will become more comfortable with their roles and a good outline that allows for branching storylines. This show has a little of both. The main plot is progressing, and they've already given us hints of several future paths they can delve into.
The Nine Lives of Chloe King (2011)
Frustrating
Less a review and more a general complaint... I'm so tired of finding shows that I legitimately enjoy only to have the idiots in charge of the network cancel them based on some antiquated ratings system. I liked The Gates (cancelled), so I followed Skyler Samuels over to The Nine Lives of Chloe King (cancelled). Let me guess... you're going to replace it with some mindless reality TV or idiotic comedy. Good job killing all the shows with any imagination. Maybe SYFY will pick it up. It's a lot better than their awful movie of the week or the cheesy graphics in Sanctuary. There: rant complete.
Skyler Samuels does a great job in this role, and I hope she continues to get similar acting roles. Maybe not quite so similar though. This is the second time in a row that she plays someone who can kill with a kiss after all. Skyler, find a better network that won't cancel your show at the drop of a hat.
