The Terminal List (2022)
Solid thriller
Standard revenge story with plenty of twists added. The show does a great job of playing with your mind and the cast does a superb job. The show isn't the "anti-woke" right winger show it's been made out to be. It doesn't have any kind of political themes at all and portrays corrupt elements of government and corporations. I like Chris Pratt in this because he is playing a wildly different character than what we're used to seeing. Can't wait for season 2.
Halo (2022)
I love Halo but..
I've grown up with Halo for 20 years now. Halo CE was really what got me into gaming and FPS gaming. I was honestly overjoyed when I heard a Halo series was finally going to become a reality after years and years of rumors. As we got closer and closer to the release date I saw more and more coming from the show runners about what to expect with the show and I got worried. The show would be its own canon? They didn't play the games at all? They didn't want to be bound by the existing lore? What? I fail to understand what is not captivating about the lore of the games, novels and comics. I don't think this show is for hardcore fans. I don't think it's for lovers of the lore. Sure it has Halo in name but I don't see it in the show. Where is the sense of wonder you got when you first stepped on the ring? Where is the Sci-fi military aspect? Where is the music Halo is known for? Don't get me wrong, the show does some good things. The Covenant are terrifying (although I don't like the bulky goofy looking Halo 4 & 5 elites). I think the Kwan Ha is good. I don't know though boys. I don't think the show is for me.
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels: Santa Muerte (2020)
What is this?
If you want to enjoy this show then try not to compare it to the original Penny Dreadful. I don't get how Showtime went from creating the original material to this. The dialogue in this show is off somehow. It doesn't seem natural at all. I'll give the show a few more episodes but I don't see myself being a follower of this show.
