Firefly (2002)
Greatly missed...
A great series. Undone by FOX, abruptly, and unnecessarily canceled. They threw away a series that could have run 5 seasons or more. It was partly corrected by the release of the movie "Serenity", but they threw away a goid thing in my estimation.
Departure (2019)
Interesting until the end, then....
The series flowed well, and kept my interest almost until the end, that is where it failed. The ending was so contrived to try and fit the supposed facts, that they had to do logical loop de loops to get the story "facts" to fit the endings conclusions.
Aquaman (2018)
Good casting, terrible story and acting. A wasted two hours.
I know the 13 to 20 somethings are going to rave about special effects and action. But the story is meaningless and while there is a good solid cast, they were given very little to work with and the acting suffers for the poor screenplay.

The Shannara Chronicles (2016)
Mediocre acting, mediocre actors and a sad waste of time
Having just finished the 10th and final episode of the Shannara Chronicles, I sat back and wondered why I ventured past episode two. The juvenile story line, boy meets girl, boy also meets princess, boy goes off on an adventurous quest with both girl and princess, all while the audience is left to wonder which will be the lucky winner of our young hero's affections. The princess or the peasant. The only redeeming feature of the series was the CGI graphics which were somewhat captivating.
I had hoped that having read other Terry Brooks stories that the producers would have made more of an effort to write and present a more adult oriented story and cast. I found the whole series a mediocre acting effort by mediocre cast of mostly teenage actors. I guess the next time I see MTV as a producer, I will be much more aware of what awaits me.
