DetailsMotherland: Fort Salem
Motherland: Fort Salem follows three witches as they enter a witch military academy just as a terrorist organization starts to massacre people. Although this may not be saying much, this is the best thing I’ve seen on Freeform. Why? Let me explain.
DetailsTerra Nova
In the year 2149 the Earth is dying, and people travel back in time to a prehistoric version of Earth, where dinosaurs roam, to join settlement: “Terra Nova”. In 2011 when it was made, Terra Nova had one of the biggest budgets in television history, though that doesn’t make it good. In the case of Terra Nova, the distinction between “good” and “expensive” is important. Why? Let’s find out.
DetailsBirds 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.
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.
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.
DetailsBliss
Bliss follows artist Dezz as she suffers a creative block and turns to a powerful new drug called Diablo, which increases her ability to create but ends up turning her insane.

DetailsThe Witcher
The Witcher 3 is my favorite video game of all time, so when I saw that it was being adapted into a Netflix adaptation, I was reasonably skeptical.

DetailsAres
Ares is a horror series based in Amsterdam, where college student Rosa, determined to be a medical professional, joins a secret society.

DetailsBatman Beyond
Set in a Utopian, futuristic version of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne becomes unable to fulfill his role as Batman. And so, Terry McGinnis, a troubled but good-natured high school student, ends up becoming Batman, while also dealing with the personal toll becoming of the cowl. Is this series a new and unique version of the Dark Knight or a weird version of him that should just be forgotten.
DetailsThe Adventures of Batman
The Adventures of Batman is the Batman section of the 1968-1969 Saturday morning cartoon Batman/Superman hour. The first animated adaptation of Batman, the series followed Batman and Robin as they solve crimes in Gotham city. Is this series as good as other Saturday morning cartoons like the influential Scooby-Doo, Where are You! Or, is it as forgettable as Star Trek: the animated series? Let’s find out.
DetailsInto the Dark
