Batwoman finally finds its pace, balancing between developing the characters’ relationships and fleshing Gotham out with small villains. And an easily overlooked villain delivers a chilling performance.

Birds of Prey: Feminist, fun, and fervently tacky
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.

Supergirl S5E14: Won’t Somebody Think of the Billionaires?
Supergirl
“The Bodyguard” is a messily written episode, with plenty of flashy lightning and sci-fi technobabble to distract us.

Black Lightning
“Black Lightning”s season finale delivers action and it delivers emotion. What it doesn’t deliver is any satisfying resolution.

Drive: A Fun But Short-Lived 1 Seasoner
Drive
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.

Supergirl S5 Ep13: They’re Back For The What If Ride!
Supergirl
The 100th special episode enriches from the best comic books, both relying on its established mythos and creating engaging narratives for new viewers.

Star 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.

Another Life: Season 1 Episode 1; sci-fi at it’s most mediocre
Another 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.

Westworld: In Regard to the Meaning of Life
Westworld
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.

Cobra Kai: Nostalgia + Great Storytelling = Awesomeness
Cobra 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.
