Season 9 was good, really great at times, but it was still weighed down by a companion who just didn't work for me, and from what I've read didn't work for a great number of people. This, on the other hand, is the best Doctor Who has been in a long time. It was actually focused on the people, and it let them be real

It really is refreshing to see. British TV just does LGBT better than American TV, hands down.

The gays are taking over Doctor Who! The new companion is a gay! There's a gay here on the spin-off! Family values are being destroyed as we speak!

Thank you for posting literally the exact kind of sentiment I wrote my comment to preemptively argue against. Remind me of your favorite shows so I can stop by the comment sections to trash them sometime.

None of them written by Chibnall? The Season 2 premiere "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", the flashback episode "Fragments", and the Season 2 finale "Exit Wounds" were all written by Chibnall, all three the finest episodes Torchwood ever produced. If you didn't cry like a baby and get chills down your spine watching the ending

Jack Harkness is capable of being an incredibly dark character, and no one complained about him being dark in Children of Earth. John Barrowman is a much, much better actor than most people give him credit for.

Just stopping by to post that Torchwood is one of the single best things to come out of 21st century Doctor Who, with magnificent writing and acting all around. Just to balance out all the Torchwood negativity that will surely be flying around here when discussing Doctor Who spin-offs. I'm not even going to qualify

To be fair, they knew they would never be able to raise the stakes higher than God himself, so they didn't try, and I give them immense credit for that. Telling a much smaller, more character focused story about the reintroduction of their mother into their lives after all these years is actually a really good idea.

I haven't seen The Americans or Fargo yet, so I can't comment on those, but I feel like anyone who says Better Call Saul isn't the best show currently airing on television isn't quite watching it closely enough. Gilligan and Gould are such workmanlike writers in so many ways, so refreshingly unpretentious about their

Is it wrong that I want this show to go on for approximately 15 more seasons? And that I would like those seasons to consist entirely of 45 minute installments of Mike pulling badass tricks on drug dealers in the middle of the night in complete silence? If someone had told me a few years ago that I would be glued to

I'm perfectly okay with tough grading, I just wish it read like a B review and not an A, Yes, I am indeed one of those people who cares way too much about grades, why do you ask?

Is it just me or does Alex write the majority of these Bates Motel reviews like he's talking about a masterclass of television yet always grade it a B. It's such a weird dissonance.

Wendy Mericle can get kicked out too, she came on as an executive producer during Season 4, which was the worst season out of all the Arrowverse shows, period. But Guggenheim is personally responsible for the show killing off the Black Canary and making Arrow into the Olicity Variety Hour. He can do better when he

With this coming so soon after the news that Katie Cassidy is coming back full time, Arrow is really pulling out pretty much every single stop in order to make the fans forgive them for fucking up so much these last couple years except for the one step they really need to take but never will: getting rid of Marc

While that is true, I have more faith in Marvel than to think they would actually do that.

After the first seven episodes of Luke Cage were finished, I'm convinced that they fired every single writer and had the extras cobble something together in their spare time.

Takes all kinds to make the world go 'round, I guess. Personally I think Charlie Cox, Jon Bernthal, Elodie Young, and Vincent D'Onfrio all give masterclasses in acting on that show. We probably just want different things out of comic book TV shows.

…I'm choosing to take this as a compliment

I think the Netflix shows have established themselves enough now that they can afford to be a little jokey. Even for Punisher. Marvel has to recognize that even when the character in question is Frank Castle, you can't have 13 hours straight of grimdark. And as for the film already using it, so? Daredevil repeated 99%
