Sharp Objects

Three episodes in and what do we know about this show? She eats next to nothing, drinks vodka like there's no tomorrow yet manages to stay more sober than a teetotaler. Oh and something to do with murder of a girl or two.

American Gods

Absolute RUBBISH !!!! I really struggled to watch the first 1 hour long episode and can honestly say I would rather have slit my throat and eaten my eyeballs at the same time.

New Blood

Credible or not, I like it. Subtle humour and decent storyline. Good acting from relatively unknown actors. Makes a change from those awful masterchef, fly on the wall rubbish that's flooding all the channels these days.

McDonald & Dodds: 3x04 Clouds Across the Moon

I really wish Trakt would sort out its info tech.

This show has 3 episodes, It has always had 3 episodes. War Of the Rose belongs to Season 2.
The show Grace is also messed up with the wrong episode in the wrong season!

Home Fires

What a shame that ITV has yet again cancelled another good show. OK the viewing numbers weren't great but neither are others that they keep renewing.

This is a fairly moderately paced show about a small village during the second world war. Trials and tribulations, gossip and scandal but none of it OTT.
The fact that ITV cancelled it with a HUGE cliffhanger is all the more annoying.

The Good Fight

Fantastic!!!! The Good Wife was unmissable but I feel The Good Fight is better. It's not so focused on one person as The Good Wife was which makes it more interesting and diverse.
It's well worth watching.

Grantchester

Although I watched the three seasons I always came away feeling somewhat disappointed, nay, frustrated by James Norton's wishy-washy insubstantial character compared to Robson Green's but at the same time felt a sense of loss when Norton left the show and wondered if the show would continue without him.
However, I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode without James Norton and must admit I didn't miss him at all.
I look forward to seeing how Tom Brittney will fill the role and have no doubt he will bring his own thing to the show.

Ray Donovan

Loved the first 4 seasons but season 5 is a non-starter so far. Waiting............waiting...........waiting for it to get going.

John Wick: Chapter 2

Absolute total rubbish. Keanu must have been really desperate. The only good things in both Chapters 1 and 2 were the dogs.

The First Lady

Really enjoyed this show though I thought the Obama story didn't have as much substance as the Ford and Roosevelt stories.
Perhaps some of it was down to artistic licence, it was revealing how lonely the life of a First Lady must be.

Evil

Not bad first season, not great second season and a pretty rubbish third season.

And those kids! Give me strength!!!!!!

Leverage: Redemption

This is awful. Just awful.
The acting is weak, the storyline ridiculous. I doubt it was made on little more than a shoestring budget.
The original wasn't as bad but I was hoping that after all these years of reflection the revival would be better. I was wrong, it's so much worse.

Hustle - the British tv show very similar to Leverage, aired at approx. the same time as Leverage is sooooooooo much better.

City on a Hill

Apart from being quite slow, the storyline in the first season was OK but Kevin Bacon's character really began to grate to the point I stopped watching halfway through the first episode of season 2.
I'll keep it on my list and will give it another go but only when I'm truly desperate for something to kill the time!

Legacies

After The Originals this is just embarrassing. Is it a drama or a comedy? Do the scriptwriters even know? Are the monsters supposed to be taken seriously? Is this show meant for anyone older than 12?
So many questions!
Hope, the main character is just so boring, the others aren't that great either.
This show's saving grace is the eccentric Lizzie Saltzman (Jenny Boyd), the only reason to watch season 2.

The Family: Season 1

I honestly cannot get my head around why some shows with ratings around the 60% mark get renewed year after year, while others with better reviews are cancelled mid-story.
Such a shame this was cancelled. It would have been good to have had a 2nd season to tie up loose ends and of course, wrapping up the saga of Adam and Ben.

Dracula

Oh for Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing! There, I've shown my age!!

When I heard Van Helsing was going to be a facety nun I thought I would give it a go. It tried so hard to be different from the usual Dracula films by including humour in it that it just became a rather poor spoof.
Episode One was interesting as we were getting to know the characters. Episode Two was just nonsense, and Episode Three made me cry with boredom and frustration.

4.30 hours of my life that I will never get back.

Pulse

A shame the powers that be have decided to cancel this show. OK it's not Grey's Anatomy but it has good storylines and decent acting. I wonder if critics were put off by it because it didn't follow the other big hospital tv shows in having life and death/catastrophe ridden episodes!!

Slasher

If you like gore then this is for you but don't expect great acting. Some of the scenes are just so bad one wonders if a 10 year old had directed them.
It is however a good portrayal of human depravity..

Mr. Mercedes: 1x04 Gods Who Fall

Slow. Usual gruesome gut-punch KIng whose obsession with 'hand jobs' and other stuff is evident. Some things are just better left to the imagination.

Once Upon a Time

Absolutely loved Seasons 1 to 6. Season 7? No thanks - slow and it just doesn't have that 'oompph'. Should've just left it at 6.

Cold Feet

Fantastic! Funny, sad, and bittersweet.
If you're watching the series now starting from the first season you may find it a bit dated, but stick with it and watch it to the very end of Season 6. Knowing Season 6 was created years after the end of Season 5, I was fully prepared to be disappointed but the characters and indeed the actors gelled so well I was really quite impressed and can't wait for Season 7.

Goddamn. Superb show. Love love love. Subtle humour, great drama, super storyline and genius dialogue.

I just love this show. Drama with a tang of humour. Superb acting and plenty of 'goddamn'!!

Tyler Perry's The Oval

How can this show have been renewed 4 times and have a rating of 74%? What's the matter with you people! ;)

The story might be interesting - I wouldn't know because I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes of the first episode. The acting was so bad I honestly wondered if it was deliberate.

All Rise

How has this show got to 3 seasons?

The premise is interesting but the acting is dire, and the characters are so sugary my teeth hurt watching them.

So boring. So slow.

Gangs of London

Ugh! I managed to watch the first episode and to be honest I would have preferred to have cut my throat and simultaneously eaten my own eyeballs than watch this willy-waving p*ssing contest rubbish.

Forbidden History: Season 1

Very interesting documentary but why is the text reversed? Drives me to distraction!

MacGyver

So many promising tv shows get axed after just one season ('series' if in the UK!) yet this piece of rubbish is renewed every year. The storyline is bad, the acting is cheap and MacGyver himself isn't worthy of comment.
