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 things and also the rules that govern their shadow world. I liked those stories a lot. Each week they focus on a different myth such as the woman in white, bloody mary, vampires, etc. Each handled very well and with a surprising amount of knowledge. You can tell that ghost storytelling is a real labor of love for the creators. They also introduce a lot of lesser-known myths such as the wendigo, shrika etc. The team has done their homework and I can not wait to see what creatures appear in later episodes. The references to other supernatural shows like the x-files and Ghostbusters is an extra add on a treat for the fans of these genres. It is like they hit into my mind and put down all my preferred past times on celluloid. Well, the ones that can be looked at by under 18's.I wouldn't say Supernatural has "made scary sexy". I would say its made scary cool again. If only I could be cool again too.

Overall, I think Supernatural is one of the best shows on TV. After season 3 that faded due to lack of content. But still, it's enjoyable.

Recommendation: Recommended.

True Detective

While surfing IMDb for a new show to watch I came across True Detective, a show that had received excellent reviews across the board.IMDb ratings had been pretty reliable in giving me an idea of good a show would be. Season one deserved ten on ten, In fact, It's one of the best pieces of television series I've ever seen. That was a masterpiece. We have Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson playing the leads as 'Detective Rust and Marty' respectively, judging by first viewing, the hope & expectation rises automatically, they won't disappoint you. They are both very different characters yet very strong in their characterization, we get to know how they were in the 90s, and how they have changed into the present day, and how they both have different issues. The overall feel of the show is a little dark, but the mood seems perfect for the show & the cast compliment that brilliantly in season one. True Detective could well be right up there in the future but...

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...

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...
