Birds of Prey
Birds of Prey is a 2002 television series, revolving around women who fight crime in the city of New Gotham, all while trying to lead personal lives. Birds of Prey, on paper, is promising if you look at the first episode, attracting 7.6 million viewers. Yet, somehow, the rest of the series received ratings so low The WB canceled it after just one season. Did this series deserve to be cancelled? Let’s find out.
DetailsSupergirl
“The Bodyguard” is a messily written episode, with plenty of flashy lightning and sci-fi technobabble to distract us.
DetailsBlack Lightning
“Black Lightning”s season finale delivers action and it delivers emotion. What it doesn’t deliver is any satisfying resolution.
DetailsDrive
Drive was equal parts Prison Break and Cannonball Run. While that sounds interesting and fun, the show bombed and is not even a blip in the history of television.
DetailsSupergirl
The 100th special episode enriches from the best comic books, both relying on its established mythos and creating engaging narratives for new viewers. The invited cast roles and acting is spectacular, specially of Nicole Maines, Sam Witwer and Katie McGrath, and the timing and amount of subplot it manages to cover is impressing.
DetailsDispatches from Elsewhere
It’s a great opportunity for televisual innovation, and thankfully this show is in the rare position that its creators seem to know its potential. Dispatches isn’t about the scavenger hunt—it’s about the people who are following it and the bonds that are made throughout.
DetailsStar Wars: The Clone Wars
Clones work, because clones are not droids. They are able to succeed because of their humanity. Season seven’s introductory episode brings this idea front and center.
DetailsAnother Life
In the future, a mysterious alien satellite beacon has formed on Earth. A crew of astronauts venture to the beacon’s source to find who the aliens are, and if they’ll attempt to destroy mankind. This series, from what I’ve seen so far, is a heavily diluted mix of Star Trek and Predator. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just unoriginal. Why? Let’s find out.
DetailsWestworld
This story uses up every inch of itself. Nothing is purposeless. Nothing is accidental. Each and every half-second of this show is used towards the greater theme of humanity, even if the view isn’t always sure how.
DetailsCobra Kai
Cobra Kai is a perfect mix of nostalgia and great story telling. Right from the start, the YouTube series began expanding quickly on the Karate Kid universe presented to us all in the iconic 80’s movie franchise rather than resting on nostalgia alone.
DetailsSense8
Sense8 is a truly unique show, born of a glimmering age of creativity and artistry among the now overpopulated array of streaming services. In a world where everyone is fighting for your attention, this creative crew actually earns it.
DetailsLocke and Key
Locke and Key was Netflix’s attempt at creating their version of House of Anubis, or any other live action series created by Nicktoons, or Cartoon Network during their live action phase. Locke and Key is a lot smarter than a lot of the shows that cater to this demographic. While it’s not award winning, it’s certainly smarter than Riverdale. How? Let’s find out.
