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 set in the Mid West of the United States that are intense, interesting and entertaining.

The second season of Fargo, set in Luverne and Sioux Falls, with Patrick Wilson, Ted Danson, Jesse Plemons, and Jeffrey Donovan; is my favorite one. This season has none of the awkward personalities or any cheezy element. Instead, what you get is a real and raw crime story, with organized crime families, corruption, believable and flawed characters, great progression, great pacing, and great direction.

After finished watching season three, my reaction was"wow!it's a doozy". I love this show but didn't expect anything boring and slow paced. They will not fly by. There is some good strong writing with this show. You will end up really caring about the characters, good or bad you really want to see what happens to them. In some cases, you are rooting for them to get it done and in others, you are rooting for their demise. A lot of times neither plays out in season three.

Overall, It is a good show. It has that potential but lost its charm in season three.

Recommendation: Recommended.

Daredevil

When I heard Netflix was making a refurbished "Daredevil", I was skeptical at its success but also interested how the show could bring its angle and possibilities. To my surprise, Netflix's Daredevil is a masterpiece. The show is both thrilling and well designed. The plot is exceedingly engaging and thrilling. Every character which is introduced has a proper backstory. Thanks to the writing genius of Frank Miller. Who run's the Daredevil with other writers, such as Bendis and Brubaker. They bring out the incredible storytelling of Matt Murdock who is a lawyer in the morning but being blind, he fights with criminals at nights. The most compelling part of "Daredevil" is the villain Wilson Fisk. Vincent D'Onofrio nailed it. The menace and complexity in his voice even when he's not on the screen, and the cold, calculating and distant aspect of his body language, and the delivery of his dialogue, shows both the depth of his talent as an actor and th

The Punisher

Finally, Punisher has done right! After so many fails from other film companies, Netflix decides to go all out and nailed it. They almost pull him right out of the comic which could not have been easy, from the deep yells as he unloads his guns on the bad guys to the twitch of a man who is now disturbed but slightly keeping it together to the tie in of the Punishers mane nemesis. This show is one of the best Netflix Marvel shows hands down. All of the main characters are great! It's an awesome superhero show, that isn't really a superhero show. Some might say that it's wrong to call The Punisher, Daredevil, etc "superhero" shows. But as the late, great Stan Lee said: "That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is true without a doubt, a real superhero." They don't need to be "super" to be heroes. As usual, Frank Castle doesn't have any special abilities, he's

Supernatural

When I first saw the trailer of the show, I thought the usual horror show that used to be so boring. But after watching the first season it blew me away. It's a mini horror movie every week with a unique story. It brings American urban legends into your home each episode. From the exceptional writing to the awesome soundtrack, this TV show is a step above the rest. I love seeing the dynamic between the brothers, Sam and Dean. It's like whatever happened in the past, the family is always family. Special effects were so great, it's like watching Avengers And that car. The brothers travel across America with the classic '67 Impala, With the classic rock music blaring on the cassette player and the roar of the engine, My god someone has a taste. this car is soo cool! The story is all about paranormal phenomena and mythological creatures, but the storytelling technique pulls you in and holds your attention, making you want to know a lot more about those supernatural th
