Arrow

I did not know why I have watched a series called 'Arrow'.Maybe for some change, for some fresh air. Now I do regret this for choosing 'Arrow'.It's the worst one. If you want to spend some quality time, watch something else that I have reviewed below.

The 'Arrow' started off great from season one, onto season two with meaningful flashbacks, great villains, good pacing, fitting dark tone, then it began to slow down with nonsense storyline. One major critic of the show will be how often the writers attempted to put too many love sequences in a superhero show(come on, this is not sex and the city), another will be the story doesn't follow up with the Green Arrow comics. Fans would love to see, If the show sticks to its action first and love story later, it will be more consistent and this will keep the show alive for a longer number of seasons. The best part of this show is that it provides its viewers with crossover episodes and team-ups with other superheroes such as the Flash. These crossover episodes provide more action and deliver a comic book genre type of team up for fans to enjoy. The show lost its spark after season three. Now it has only horrible meaningless flashbacks, worse acting, terrible villains, unfitting lighter tone, illogical storylines with many plot holes. It's more like a soap opera than a superhero/crime drama TV show.Felicity(sleeps with all the Billionaires and take their fortune and keeps them under her payroll) and Diggle are annoying now. It feels like Greg Berlanti lost his focus from the show. The main character reveals himself all the time. He wears a costume to hide his identity, yet everyone and their brother now know his secret. So what is the point of wearing a costume to hide! Oliver always seems to feel the need to have sex with every woman he encounters. The dead always come back in the series. Every villain they come across somehow related to the island Oliver was stranded in for five years. They consistently maintained those stupidities.I think they are out of ideas.

Season 1 - Awesome.

Season 2 - OK.

Season 3 - What is happening.

Season 4 - Killed the show.

Season 5 - Stopped watching, gave up, can't watch anymore.

Recommendation: Not Recommended.

Monster

People traditionally associate Japanese animes with the likes of Pokemon and Dragonball Z where all that happens are flashy fights. So, it is often very difficult to convince non-anime fans that there's more to them. Monster is not typical anime, it is not even a series or a video, it is an experience I have gone through watching this piece of brilliance called Monster. It is a masterpiece. The show started and the art was realistic for an anime, something I hadn't quite experienced before. The opening theme song wasn't an annoying pop song that grated on my ears and made me snicker. The characters were real. The background music always fit the scenes and was never overbearing. The language spoken was honest and like something I could hear on the street. Germany looked like Germany and not some twisted version of Japan. The story was compelling. You can truly connect with every character. You'll see a person on screen for, at most, five minutes, but they'll ha...

Fargo

Season one and two are just awesome. Season three has soo many 'humor-ish' moments in it. Personally, I think that the first two seasons were well balanced. And the third season is a balance between serious thriller-ish elements and exaggerated elements which made it not too much towards the best, which is a shame. Season one of the first episode itself left me with anxious tingles down my spine. Martin Freeman as Bilbao Baggins, whatever he does impresses me. His performance is just perfect, and his body language, reactions, and the accent. It is just amazing that an English can do such a unique northern American accent. Hats of to him. Billy Bob Thornton did an excellent job showing a baddie with such a power of manipulation. As usual, his performance is mind-blowing, every scene of him is jaw-dropping with some chills. And the others were also excellent. And the story is very well written. Thanks to Noah Hawley and the writing team to successfully crafted crime stories...

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad, simply, is one of television's best programs. To say this program is great is an understatement. AMC lucked out when they first picked it up, because it's largely considered by many, to be one of the best TV shows of all time. Overall, the highlight of Breaking Bad, to me is it's great characters and acting from its awesome cast. Bryan Cranston leads this show to greatness as Walter White. All of the seasons of this show are amazing, but season 5 is particularly phenomenal, and definitely one of the best single seasons of a show I've ever seen. The powerful themes, incredible acting, thought-provoking scenarios, and emotional moments make these programs valuable views. When I started watching it, I could not get out of it. I did not come out of my room for 3 days and completed 5 seasons eventually. I could not find anything that can top this show. It intensifies season by season. There's a reason it's the biggest watercooler series to arr...
