Live Action Television

This is where I review and talk about live action television.

Yeah, I’m not bright enough to not watch this crap either.

Sorry.

I’ll most likely end up regretting my time spent with these characters instead of in my own reality.

Live Action Television

Westworld – Think Jurassic Park (Same writer, Michael Crichton) with Anthony Hopkins and terrifying androids. Amazing thrill ride. The first season was spectacular.

The Magicians – Magic college. Make the characters all over the top renditions of family squabbling. These characters are not children. Disturbing imagery is to often be expected. I’m fascinated with the first season.

Sliders – Quite possibly the greatest television concept to ever exist. A brilliant young scientist and his friends travel to unknown parallel universes in an attempt to get back to their home universe. Cheesy, but an interesting first two seasons of pure 90’s television. Things get a bit wonky after season two.

Once Upon A Time – Fairy-tale characters come to Maine. First season is a nice, family friendly romance. Gets a bit convoluted as things continue, but still quite fun. I’d recommend only the first three seasons. The general direction shifted obviously with season 4.

Supernatural – Two brothers ride around in a car and fight monsters, demons, and other spooky things. It’s a fun ride with a loving fandom. It’s been on for a long time (over 10 seasons). Much longer than originally planned. First five seasons only. Not to say you can’t find enjoyable episodes after, but it’s just nuts.

Charmed – A show about witches. Very 90’s. Think Buffy, but not as witty.

The Flash – A superhero show that has surpassed my expectations at every turn. Tom Cavanagh stole every scene. It isn’t afraid to move quickly with characters progression. We hit Flashpoint by season 3. It has felt a bit off after season two, but the intentions were impressive for the time.

Arrow – A show that dipped in quality after the writers moved on to Flash. I will always claim that it had an amazing second season. Oliver Queen isn’t the best character on the show, but the portrayal of his character shows how far characters can go when occasionally developed.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow – The first season was an interesting experiment. The second is better and completely nuts. It needs to embrace the history of DC comics more and focus on historical events in DC. Actually referencing the Justice League just once seems like a nice idea. The fact that live-action DC series have been on for the past few years and never once even introduced major future team members like Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, or Diana Prince just seems like throwing a party but not inviting the ones who set the party up.

No Ordinary Family – A family gains superpowers after a plane crash. Upon returning home, they notice that they have gained superpowers. It only lasted for a season and it makes perfect sense why. The idea was comfortable and campy.

Silicon Valley – A startup in It was interesting at first, fell into a formula after season two, lost a bit of it’s wit after Season three. They roped in VR in the fourth season.
