A subpar show that sucks you in

The best episodes of Buffy and Angel were written by Joss Whedon. The worst episodes were written by Jane Espenson. She created this show. This show revolves around two Secret Service agents who stumble upon a supernatural artifact while protecting The President. They handle the situation so well that they are recruited to deal with them as a job. I love the premise and the actors are wonderful but the writing in this show is horrible. It takes Jane Espenson's style, which is her bad and lesser interpretation of Joss Whedon's style and makes an entire show of bad jokes and dialogue of 15 year old's. The storyline is rather one dimensional where if you miss four or five episodes in the season who haven't really missed anything important to the story itself. It's one redeeming quality is that once you start watching it you do finish the episode. It does entertain you for the 45 minutes you are sitting there. This is a show most will say is pretty good but I doubt anyone will call brilliant. Not terrible but not amazing.

What's great about it: the price and the action
What's not so great: writing is cringe-worthy

Wonderful end to a wonderful show

This is the final season of Fringe. Gone is the storyline of the parallel worlds that probably got this show canceled. This is a wrapup to The Observers story. It takes place in the future with the team waking up from amber by Olivia and Peter's daughter to a world ruled by The Observers, future humans who polluted their world and own people with science to an extent that they go back to find a new home in the past. This season was one of the best with an epic finale that finishes the story perfectly. Must see!

Burn Notice and Batman with a geeky twist.
on April 29, 2014
Posted by: DSMike
from Des Moines, IA
The first season was good but the second season was great. This season starts after the audience's realization that The Machine isn't just a computer program but a sentient being. Last season was more of series of missions to help others with this season mixes more of the story of The Machine itself and why Finch created it to think and feel as well as the governments hold on it. We are introduced to two new characters, Root and Shaw. Root is a brilliant hacker, as brilliant as Finch, but with a twist. She's a complete psychopath. Her objective is to free The Machine and worship it as her god. And she will kill anyone who gets in her way. Shaw is another CIA assassin like Reese who is betrayed by her agency when she asks too many questions about her assignments and too close to their secrets. She is inherently good like Reese but a sociopath; lacking any feeling or empathy. The writing is great this year with a more complicated story line than last. There is still plenty of action but with a few more twits and turns. If you are a fan of Burn Notice give this a try. It's a darker show but better written. Enjoy.

Anson Mount plays Cullen Bohanon, a former Confederate soldier who is hunting down the Union regiment who killed his wife and son. On the last leg of his revenge, he finds himself employed for the same railroad as one of his suspects. But the honest labor and relationships begin to take their toll on his plan for justice. A good man must decide whether to rectify the past or help serve the future. Great show. Expect nothing else from AMC.

The Showtime Original Series Dexter is back with an all-new season!
Posted by: DSMike
from Des Moines, IA
Dexter hunts down a band of serial rapists/killers whose leader may be too high profile to kill. Is he out of reach for Dexter? He discovers and rescues one of their surviving victims (Julia Stiles) who then begs him to train her so she can get revenge for her and the other not so lucky girls. She wants justice, too. Can he refuse? This is a good season that's made better by Jonny Lee Miller ( Elementary) as the evil and too famous Jordan Chase.

The Showtime Original Series Dexter is back with an all-new season, and this time America's favorite serial killer has gone from freewheeling bachelor to responsible husband and doting dad. Maintaining an average-guy facade while satisfying his need to kill has never been easy. But now, with wife and kids in tow, Dexter's got more to lose then ever, as he gets drawn into a deadly game with a killer every bit as dangerous - and conflicted - as he is.

My personal favorite season. Dexter must hunt down Trinity, a serial killer who works in threes and has eluded capture for decades. When Dexter finally finds him he discovers something unusual. Trinity has a picturesque family and well-rounded life. Is this real? Can Dexter have this, too? Maybe he can actually learn something from this man before his last breath on Dexter's table. Maybe not. Wonderful season. John Lithgow is brilliant. Dick Solomon killing people. Enjoy!

Dexter is back and more killer than ever. The Emmy-nominated Showtime Original Series (Best Drama Series, Lead Actor in a Drama Series) returns for an all-new season and this time Dexter's got a new take on taking life. Having faced some of his darkest demons, Dexter's ready to put the past behind him. Now, with family life, a day job catching killers and an uncontrollable urge to do away with the ones that get away, Dexter's got his work cut out for him. And when a high-profile case sides him with powerful Assistant DA Miguel Prado (special guest star Jimmy Smits), the pressure might be too great for even our beloved Dexter to hack.

This seasons follows Dexter as he hunts The Skinner, a killer who skins his victims alive. But he gets help from Assistant D.A. who discovers his secret (Sort of). He helps to train his new friend in this ways of The Code and finds that his unique sense of justice is up to interpretation. Dexter must hunt down a monster but did he just make one of his own? Very entertaining and thrilling. Buy this season and all the rest.

Phenomenal Show. Great Season. Must have!

This season is my personal second favorite to the fifth. It follows our antihero Dexter Morgan, the serial killer of serial killers, in a cat and mouse game where he's the mouse. The police have discovered dozens of bodies in the bay of Miami dismembered and thrown away. All of these "victims" however were known or suspected killers. The police and media dub this new vigilante serial killer The Bay Harbor Butcher. Dexter has no main serial killer to track this season because he is the main serial killer. This is the one season that takes a completely different path than the others. Something rarely done in TV and it makes for a wonderful change. Buy this season and all the rest, You will not regret it.

To those who don't know, Doctor Who is a British Science Fiction series that has become one the world's most popular shows. It is one of the longest running if not the longest running scifi shows of all time. From the early 60s to late 80s and the continuation from 2005 to present. I can not stress enough that even if you are not a scifi genre fan please give this show a chance. It is just enough like the old series for the keep old fans in bliss and different from the old series to make a newer generation die-hard fans. It mixes sometimes goofy (depending on which Doctor) humor, substantial action, and intelligent story to make a truly entertaining series. Few shows can put people in awe. This show put the entire world in awe.

Death Note from a different perspective.
on November 25, 2013
Posted by: DSMike
from Des Moines, IA
This is an OVA movie to the anime series Death Note. It summarizes the entire series but from the point of view of Ryuk, Kira's Shinigami. It's a wonderful idea for a movie since he is mostly on the sidelines through the show with nothing but a witty line, evil smile, and menacing laugh that tells you he had it all planned from the beginning. Like others have said, this series and by extention OVA rewrote anime to most people. It isn't immature or shallow. It is incredibly intelligent, complex, and thrilling. If you own or just love Death Note, this is a no-brainer.
