Heels (2021–2023)

Great show, shame on you Starz

[9/10 · 1 October 2023]

I hate that Starz canceled this show on a cliffhanger, so if you like a complete storyline don't start heels like I did. I loved the two seasons and I don't know what show to compare it to maybe Kingdom and the movie fighting with my family. I really hope another Network like Netflix or Prime picks this show up and gives it the two or three more seasons it deserves. Alof of people don't have Starz, if it was on Netflix it would be a really popular hit show guaranteed. Someone please let Amell and company compete this show, I mean Netflix did it for Manifest but they blew that one big time.....

Vampire Academy (2022)

I usually don't review this low

[4/10 · 16 September 2022]

But it seems like peacock is just trying to create something like legacies or pick any 2020-2022 Netflix fantasy show, and they really dropped the ball. Vampire Academy is literally what they could have called Legacies, could on write up some new material. I'm sick of all the new shows either being a re-make of an older show, a storyline that's been beat to death, or like CSI/SWAT/ The Rookie, (enter any basic cable show here) where each episode is it's own story and there's no continuous plotlines. Please stop creating shows like this, I understand younger people have a small attention span, but I'm a millennial and I love a show that follows an actual storyline and we get pieces of the mystery as each episode goes on. Enough of these one episode plots, they're straight garbage.

Dallas (2012–2014)

Bring it back

[9/10 · 31 December 2021]

I really wish this went past three seasons but it was very good for the three seasons it was. If you like shows like yellowstone and the sort then this will make you happy.

Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)

Very good

[10/10 · 14 December 2021]

Unlike most of the past star treks, discovery follows a season long plot line instead of being episodic in nature like in the past. I think this is the direction that the new shows should be going for, as nobody really wants to watch a show that goes episode by episode. They want to become invested in the characters and the storyline.

Raised by Wolves (2020–2022)

Just not that good.

[6/10 · 28 November 2021]

So for the average scifi fan who just wants a good sci-fi show to watch skip this one. It's a very boring, very slow sci-fi show with one of the oddest concepts. Only watch this if all you care about is the stunning visuals, I expected better from Ridley Scott.

Luther (2010–2019)

Good but oh man it's short.

[8/10 · 24 November 2021]

Only in the UK will you see a series that's five seasons long and it's only 21 episodes. I know that's not enough time to develop the characters and watch them grow with the story. The UK is either behind the times, or the producers/ writers are very lazy. Although, the UK shows are very good and they have good storylines they're just too short. Luther isnno different, excellent show but it's only a season compared to the USA.

The Affair (2014–2019)

Kind of boring

[6/10 · 23 November 2021]

I dont know the first season was pretty good, and then it went downhill from there. I'm usually pretty fair with my reviews because I'm the average viewer reviewing for the average viewer. But this show gets off track past season 2, and becomes really boring. If you want a show to watch in this genre that's actually a good watch check out bloodline.

Locke & Key (2020–2022)

Imaginative, and a great story.

[9/10 · 20 November 2021]

If Netflix cancels this I'm going to lose my mind. I need to know how this is going to end. It's like Stranger Things, The Magicians, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina all wrapped up in a great story with the adventure and mystery to keep you glued to your seat and guessing what will happen next.

Outer Banks (2020– )

Don't believe some of the reviews

[9/10 · 20 November 2021]

Netflix better not cancel this as it's very entertaining and never tries to go too far our of what they do well. The plot and storyline keep the viewer engaged and guessing what will happen next. Just like I'm dying for a season 3 because season 2 ends on a cliffhanger and if Netflix cancels this I'll cancel my subscription for Netflix.

The Society (2019)

Good watch; Netflix ruins everything

[9/10 · 20 November 2021]

Even though it's teens and people won't even give it a try because yeah they make some stupid decisions but they make some smart ones too. But this was such a better shot at a show like this than "The Dome" based off of a Stephen King book. However, I'd still pick the dome over this one and the only reason being that one has a full storyline and the other Netflix tragically canceled in the middle of the story line as they do with every good show they ever had or end It in 2-3 seasons tops. It's no wonder they're losing alot of loyal customers tbey think people's don't want to watch h a show for more than a season or 2 but I'd much rather watch a show with 4 plus season's and a full storyline than something that's cut off in the middle of the plot. I won't even bother watching a new Netflix show until I see that's it been confirmed for a second season.

Foundation (2021– )

Don't believe the reviews unless your book worm

[9/10 · 15 November 2021]

The reviews are unfairly biased due to the fact the majority of the reviews are from people that read the book but I never understood why someone who reads a book would want to watch a movie based off that book when you already know everything about the show and what's going to happen and you can only ever really be let down. But if you're just looking for a spectacular scifi TV show than look no further because the plot/ storyline is superb and it's visually stunning.

Yellowstone (2018– )

Don't listen to anything negative about this show

[10/10 · 13 November 2021]

Yellow is by far the best show on cable TV maybe even on all TV show methods. If you are hesitant because you don't like westerns neither do I, but this is more sons of anarchy but the horses are replacing the motorcycles. It's produced by the same guy who did sons of anarchy, scicario, and hell or high water. If you combine all three and add horses and Kevin Costner you have yellowstone. The show is visually stunning as well.

Good Trouble (2019–2024)

Good show; but...

[7/10 · 5 November 2021]

It's a good show for the genre, but the way they go back and forth between the past, present, and future with the different scenes makes it confusing as to what is happening when. It's just a weird way to write a show, I could see if it once once in a while but they do it every other scene it gets a little annoying. Also, the show is literally a drama about social justice, and it just seems the writers don't know how to do something else.

The Fosters (2013–2018)

Good show but;

[8/10 · 27 October 2021]

Great show, good drama with lovable characters who have great growth. The only negative I have is that they use different actors for a couple of the main characters rather than having them end their collective storyline. It's kind of annoying.

La Brea (2021–2024)

NBC is stupid like Netflix

[5/10 · 14 October 2021]

The average tv viewer doesn't want to continue watching new shows in the same category or one that they know will be canceled. NBC would have been better off keeping manifest than wasting money on this, and the same goes for Netflix who always does the same thing.

Succession (2018–2023)

It's about time

[8/10 · 11 October 2021]

It's about time we get a season 3, I was beginning to think that HBO forgot about succession. I can't wait for season 3, I just hope it's not the last one.

Travelers (2016–2018)

Netflix I dispise you

[10/10 · 11 September 2021]

Amazing show but of course it's canceled right in the middle of the story. Netflix always cancels all their good shows and replaces them with junk like The i-land, away, etc.

The Magicians (2015–2020)

You hate em but love the show.

[9/10 · 13 July 2021]

I'm fascinated by this show on one hand I want to jump through my screen and tell Alice to shut up and stop being annoying. On the other hand, it's a very good mix of drama, mystery, intrigue, romance, and smart writing. I didn't read the book but even if I had I never do my ratings based off the similarity between the two, because in my opinion if I've read the book then why would I want to watch something that's exactly the same. Bravo writers and production team well done.

F9: The Fast Saga (2021)

How is there already so many reviews?

[9/10 · 19 June 2021]

The movie hasn't even hit theaters yet and people are bashing this movie. Obviously the movie critics will pick any fast movie apart but for the fans who enjoy the series, it's a good flick.

The Blacklist (2013–2023)

A rare breed

[9/10 · 17 June 2021]

One of the few crime mystery shows that hasn't lost its touch or slowed down. The actors that play Keene and Reddington have great chemistry and make the show. I want more crime shows that aren't just one episode storylines and have a intricate plotline that span multiple seasons.

Manifest (2018–2023)

Not that bad

[8/10 · 17 June 2021]

Pretty good for an NBC scifi showman there haven't been many good ones lately. I don't mind that the mystery itself is unraveling very slowly as it makes for more episodes to watch. My one criticism is that they use the word "calling" way too much, it's kind of like the people who are like , totally like, like the best.

Once Upon a Time (2011–2018)

First 6 seasons are.. then season 7 ugh.

[8/10 · 17 May 2021]

If they had stopped after 6 seasons instead of adding a 7th and pointless season to the storyline that had nothing to do with the original storyline and instead they made the Henry storyline into a spinoff show that would have been a much better path for them to take with this story.

Mindhunter (2017–2019)

Netflix I hate you

[8/10 · 7 May 2021]

Cancelled another great show. Why are you doing this please? Are your financials really that bad?

The OA (2016–2019)

Netflix bring this back you guys are terrible

[9/10 · 7 May 2021]

Instead of keeping shows that people like Ozark, the oway, Ozark, sense8, all the Marvel shows, Hemlock Grove, the society, Lucifer after season 6, the list goes on. Instead now there Predator some more reality TV junk like the circle, too hot to handle, and the shows they do make are very crappy for the most part they have hit a few good ones but expect them to be cancelled shows like Shadow and Bone, Etc the algorithm that they use to determine what the cancel and what their produce clearly was created buy a teenager who Love's reality TV and cartoons.

Snowfall (2017–2023)

Simply Amazing; editing after ending.

[9/10 · 23 April 2021]

I won't even bother going into the story line, but whether your old, young, male, female, white, black, this is one of the best shows on TV today.

I loved this show all the way up until the ending with Franklin ending up with a life like 90% of his customers; broke and homeless.
