Arrow (2012–2020)

8/10

30 May 2023

When this show first aired, I had no idea that it was based off of DC's Green Arrow character until The Flash first aired, (probably because I was 13 at the time & the show was late at night) little did I know that this show would spawn "The Arrowverse" with shows like the Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow etc.

Stephen Amell's portrayal of Oliver Queen is the best depiction of The Green Arrow hands down, he could've been in The Dark Knight Trilogy without anyone batting an eye.

As for the series (including those that make up the Arrowverse) peak early in there run & start to drop in quality season 4 onwards.

Best Season: S2 (8.74/10) Worst Season: S4 (7.7/10)

Best Episode: Lian Yu (10/10) Worst Episode: Broken Hearts (6/10)

Overall Rating: 8.26/10.

Please Don't Eat the Daisies (1960)

6/10

Not a single daisy was eaten!

13 June 2022

This is when I still took some movie titles literally. I was pretty much watching this solely just to see someone consume a daisy. Or least shove on in their mouths.

Death Note (2006–2007)

8/10

An Interesting Piece of Anime

3 August 2021

Warning: Spoilers

Death Note is a very unique experience, especially the shows theme of corruption. For example Light Yagami (the character were introduced to) stumbles upon the eponymous Book and discovers what it is capable of and uses it to rid the world of evil but at a cost, the book's power turns him into an Anti-Hero with a God Complex that eventually leads to his downfall.

The series starts of Strong but halfway through the episodes become below average by Death Note's Standards, while there are no bad episodes with the weakest episodes being a solid 7/10, but by Episode 18 onwards it goes from a light 9 to a strong 8.

Best Episode: #25 Silence (10/10) Overall Rating: 8.24/10.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993–1999)

8/10

Star Trek's Best TNG Era Series

20 March 2021

Warning: Spoilers

DS9 is quite different from its predecessor The Next Generation, for one the episodes are episodic instead of being serial. And it's themes being completely different focusing on plotting, political manoeuvring, conflict among other dark subjects while still keeping Star Trek's Opitmistic spirit. The Main Characters are unique as well, for example Captain Sisko has the most backstory of any Captain in Trek, and his crew members Kira, Bashir, Odo, Dax and O'Brien are fleshed out as well and get there time to shine. Even the villains are good, like Gul Dukat being not just the best TV Villian of Star Trek but of All-Time. Best Season/s: 5, 6 & 7 (7.8/10) Worst Season: 1 Best Episode: In The Pale Moonlight (10/10) Worst Episode: Move Along Home (5/10) Overall Rating: 7.64/10

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2020)

8/10

Best Part of the Prequel Era

15 February 2021

The Clone Wars is by far one of the most important parts in Star Wars Lore. Not only does it deliver in the Action but also the character arcs as well, giving minor Jedi characters like Kit Fitso & Plo Koon personality as well as making Ashoka Tano one of the best Star Wars characters of all-time, even several Clones are given depth making them stand out from each other. The only other thing to add is that the quality of the animation is a bit rough in its first few seasons but greatly improves over time. Best Episode/s: The Final Four episodes (10/10) Worst Episode: Bombad Jedi (6/10) Best Seasons: S5 & 7 (8.25/10) Worst Season: S1 (7.64/10 Overall Rating: 7.98/10

Too Old to Die Young (2019)

8/10

Watch Slow, Die Old

7 May 2020

To be Honest, this mini-series gets weird at times even bordering on David Lynch territory. also it is really long for a few episodes, i've occasionally had to skip every ten seconds of establishing shots and not miss a thing. but other than that, this is still a decent watch.

Best Episode: The Magician 8/10 Worst Episode: The World 7/10

Highlander: The Raven (1998–1999)

7/10

A "Good Enough Spin-Off"

1 May 2020

Although this may not be as it's predecessor series, essentially being season 7 of the highlander show minus Duncan & Methos. i'd still watch this over the sequels even if i have some issues with it.

Best Episode: "Crime and Punishment" 8/10 Worst Episode: "Bloodlines" 6/10

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–1994)

8/10

A Rough Start but worth it till the end

3 December 2019

While the first season is a little rough every other season makes up for it. Patrick Stewart as Picard is good all the way through with all the other main cast members not far behind, and most of the effects still hold up today. Seasons Ranked: Best Season: #6 (8/10) Worst Season: #1 (6.88/10) Best Episode: The Inner Light (10/10) Worst Episode: Shades of Gray (4/10)

Overall Rating: 7.52/10

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)

7/10

Not The Worst Star Wars Movie

14 November 2019

To all those saying that this is the worst Star Wars movie of All-Time, they are Wrong, and why? does anyone remember the Holiday Special, or the two Ewok movies. if so then you'll know that whoever says this is lying.

Torchwood (2006–2011)

8/10

9 November 2019

Torchwood struggled for a little bit after the pilot episode but quickly found it's footing, setting itself apart from DW & other spin-offs by pushing all kinds of boundaries. Best Season/Story: #3 Children of Earth (9/10) Worst Season: #4 Miracle Day (7.4/10) Worst Episode: Cyberwoman

Overall Rating: (7.83/10)

Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

8/10

Holiday Special!

30 September 2019

I'm not joking, this really is a Holiday Special for the MCU. Iron Man (2008) is the Pilot episode. Avengers: Endgame (2019) is the Season Finale with the rest of the Infinity Saga making up the first season. And now Spider-Man: far from Home Being the Holiday Special, bridging the Infinity Saga with the next season/saga.

Lucifer: Boo Normal (2018)

Season 3, Episode 25

8/10

Lumped in?

10 September 2019

When I heard Lucifer was cancelled before season 3 finished they had two unaired episodes that they finished for a fourth season, so they lumped it with with season 3, making it longer then it should be... But this is still worth watching.
