Nightwing: The Series (2014)
For a fan series, pretty unbelievable!
I am pretty shocked. I thought this would be the world's worst fan made series ever, but I was surprised. It actually is pretty incredible. Super low budget, but acting is pretty good for a fan series and also the action, and also the script and soundtrack were surprisingly talented. Not only that but, the effects were very sophisticated for a fan series, and what not. If you are bored out of your mind, and are a DC fan you might want to check this out. Us fans might learn a thing or to on how to create a proper fan made series from this one.
The Shannara Chronicles (2016)
Head hurt from homework so I watched it - became a new favorite show
BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE: BEFORE READING THESE REVIEWS, WATCH IT FOR YOURSELF, AND LET YOURSELF DECIDE.
Overall: enjoyable, awesome, well done, pathetic plot, sounds worse than it is (It's about saving a tree.), bad screenplay writing, good directing.
Now, for the teen angle. This is mainly targeted to teens and millennials, so if you are some 60 year old, or older, unless you enjoy teenage romance, with a Lord of the Rings twist, then this is NOT your thing. They are moody teens (my kind, or were my kind), with a lot of stuff forced on them by things beyond their control, which I can understand so I guess in that regard I can relate to them.
It is/has overall: Awesome fight scenes, relatable to teens and millennials, and a lot like Lord of the Rings. Sci - fi and fantasy fans will love it. Those who like a lot of action will NOT like it, because there is not 100% action, but when it happens it's like slack jaw drooling AWESOME fighting with sword and daggers and you HAVE to pause it and grab a bag of popcorn kind of thing, then unpause it, and stuff your face with glee (wait for it... ), but this crowd is unpredictable so just watch it and turn it off, if running through the woods is not your forte. Those who like a sophisticated plot, the plot is not sophisticated so don't bother yourself. Those who just watch things for the fun of it, jump in and buckle your seat belts but it will be a smooth ride. And those who read these books. Let's be honest with ourselves here, no show or movie is EVER as good as the books, so don't expect the best from this.
Seriously though, before reading the reviews, just decide for yourself.
