The Flash

The show started excellently well with a gripping pilot and a good storyline. The flash was an exciting new addition to the arrowverse, with its first season being exceptional. Viewers immediately fell in love with Grant Gustin's Barry Allen (The Flash). The season was how he gets his powers, then learns how to use/control them and then tries to solve the mystery of his mother's death to avenge his father. Which was amazing and enjoyable.
After that gradually you wish to be able to go back into the mind of a little child. Sorry to say but if you have an IQ higher than that of a ten-year-old or are not a complete idiot, you will witness how cruelly they have killed a DC superhero character 'The Flash' and emerged a new universe of 'Power Rangers', where Barry Allen (The Flash) plays as a sidekick of his wife Iris. Flash seems to forget about his intelligent personality who can figure out the danger and countermeasures on his own. I thought his ability to run faster came from the ability to think faster and better. Now he seems heavily depends on other character's advice to use his powers. And of course, the show has to be repetitive, right? In every episode a new villain shows up,Flash also shows up with his confusing face,gets beating every time,runs like a pussy,takes advice from a team of specialists, who work in a high tech underground lab,they come up with some lame and pretty basic advice,flash returns to villain with his new move but same confusing face,villain dies and the series ends. There is consistency in repeating the same episodes after episodes. Thumbs up to that. Other than that there is no logic, no real drama, everything is predictable. This is an utter disaster.

There is no consistency with Barry's powers. The effects of running really fast depends on the shows timings. If it's the beginning of the episode, he will get slow. But if it is the ending, he will become the fastest man alive. A lot of plots make no sense. One point, a woman's shirt burns off despite that making no sense whatsoever, presumably because one of the writers thought that the actress was hot and knew he had the power to get her to reveal a little more. I am out od word. Not recommended at all.

Recommendation: Not 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...
