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 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 ru...

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 s...

MR.ROBOT

We finally have an intense psychological thriller show that doesn't treat its audience like idiots. The creators actually spent some time doing their homework and the result is a work of art. Fantastic characters, iconic cinematography, all thanks to Sam Esmail's ingenious vision. By far it has the closest technical reality when it comes to hacking.No nonsense giant pacmans eating pixels on the screen or progress bars labeled "VIRUS" either. You can see the actual Unix coding on a computer screen. Staring Rami Malek, Christian Slater, and Portia Doubleday. They are brilliant and the plot is very intelligent. Telling the story of a hard-working, struggling cyber engineer with hard drug addiction. It also depicts a realistic representation of how "our democracy has been hacked." It is also a very real-life story with quotes like, "I should just tell her what she wants to hear," and, "We're all living in each other's paranoia."...

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...
