Blood & Oil (2015)
Such a disappointment
At the time of giving this review the show has been cancelled and I am not shocked in the slightest. I initially rated this how after watching the first two episodes and I gave it an 8. I was so excited it was one of the first shows I have ever rated on IMDb but after like the 5th episode, I was so disillusioned by how poorly written the story turned out. If the plot and story-line were written properly, if the plot had more twist developed well and had more suspense I am sure they could have stretched out the first 4 episodes to 10. It was so clunky, it did not create enough suspense and build up long enough before major points of the story-line occurred. It felt like that Solomon Grundy poem, Born on Monday, "Born on a Monday, Christened on Tuesday, Married on Wednesday.." What was so disappointing was the great story they had they just couldn't make it more of a story, felt more like someones recollection of events, too many holes. The acting was mediocre and a bit cheesy that was even more magnified by the poor story line.
How to Get Away with Murder (2014)
The most suspenseful show in television
I detest long overly detailed reviews so I'll keep this quick. This show had me on the edge every second with little moments of respite. The chronological arrangement and tense soundtrack coupled with the most intelligently crafted plot will have you in cliffhanger mode from the first second to the last. Literally. The acting is superb, it can really connect and engage you as a viewer and keep you glued. I cannot figure anything bad to genuinely say about this show. Greatest thing about the show is how is how the plot develops very quickly and efficiently but you still get a lot of information given it is a 15 episode per season. You will never find a dull period or episode
