Warrior (2019)
10 Stars Aren't Enough!
I have been watching television since the mid 1940's. I would have to rate this series as one of the best, if not the best that I have ever watched. The acting along with the truthfulness are fabulous. The cast is one of the best that has been put together. However, the real icing on the cake is the history. In this country the Europeans came and killed millions of inhabitants. Then when they needed workers in the hot South they brought slaves from Africa. In this show we see the treatment of the Chinese who were brought over to work the railroads and their fight to exist under barbaric rule of the white elite.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, The Musical
I have been a Star Trek fan and follower since the original program. I have followed the programming through the years. This is one of the finest.
This is an amazing episode. It actually could be a Broadway musical play. This year has been different from prior years and previous Star Treks. I enjoy the uniqueness of each of the episodes. Especially on the way that they follow a particular person. With the exception of this episode, which was all encompassing of the cast and showed off their singing character.
This episode also included the relationships in the cast. This was done in a very light hearted manor and had song incorporated into the dialogue.
The Chicago Code (2011)
The Best Cop Show on TV
I have just watched the best cop show on television. The writing was spectacular with a fantastic plot line. You couldn't ask for a better cast. I believe that if it was advertised more there would have been a bigger following. Those that did watch it raved about the show.
I am sorry that no matter how great a show is that if you don't have viewers than the show cannot survive. For it is all about the money and not the art.
Coming 2 America (2021)
The most Fantastic Cast
It's a great story filled with amazing and notable actors. It gives you a story filled with jokes, songs, dance and fabulous wardrobes. It is lighthearted comedy preformed by a fabulous cast. Better than the original.
Transplant (2020)
The Best Medical Show on TV
If you like medicine than you must watch this TV series. Its all about the doctors servicing their patients, with great interactions between the cast. At the same time it focuses on the Syrian doctor, who has a younger sister living with him. It does not offshoot into long side stories, but does go back to Syria.
If you follow medicine in the USA you will notice the difference in Canadian medicine where the patient is more important than profit is in the USA. Great cast and storyline.

The Queen's Gambit (2020)
One of the Best, if not the Best for 2020
This drama does not require you to be a chess player or fan. Though the sport can be engaging and fun. Yes, it is a sport, just as golf or tennis is a sport. In this instance it uses your mind. The story follows this orphan child from her younger days to her engaging in worldly tournaments. It is a fascinating and marvelous show with top of the line actors, acting under a most fabulous script.
You needn't be a player to enjoy this show it is a show for all. I thank Netflix for bringing this terrific mini-series to the world audience.
Bluff City Law (2019)
Fact not Fiction - Episode 2
There is a company that creates GMO seeds. It spreads the seeds on farms that it wants. It takes the farm owners to court, saying that they stole and planted their GMO seeds. They nearly always win and take over the farm. This has been going on for years.
That company is "Monsanto"!
It's about time that the story of this criminal company is brought to the attention of the nation!
Instinct (2018)
CBS is making a Big Mistake!
CBS has been cancelling a significant number of shows. In the past when the number of viewers were down, the show would be moved to a new time slot. Now it's just dump the show. Instinct is a great show. It is a police drama with alternate actions going on. It has a great cast and a fun storyline. I see a lot of future development for the show, that it bothers me that its been cancelled. CBS GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE IN A DIFFERENT TIME SLOT!
For the People (2018)
A Big Mistake for ABC
This is one of the better shows and has a great cast. This should have been a long running show. It has a lot to bring into the limelight; i.e. a Federal judge sitting on a state jury, and the incarceration and suicide of an individual arrested for selling cigarettes.
There are only two alternatives to its cancellation. Change the time slot or have another network pick up the show. Please, give this show a second chance. It deserves it and the public would be missing out on the messages it brings forth.
God Friended Me (2018)
Best New Show of the 2018/2019 Season
What makes this show so great is a fantastic storyline brought to you through a fabulous cast. It appeals to the modern times of computers and the Internet. There are love interests that transpire through each episode and keep you glued to the screen. It is also a family show without gunfire and heavy sex scenes. A show that can be watched by all ages and appeal to all types of individual. Lastly, I post the question, who is behind the God account? Could it be God?
For the People: This Is America (2019)
A Country Without Humanity
The last show Season 2 Episode 2 was one of the best episodes I have seen on TV. It brings the viewer to the direction of this country and how horrible it is. Especially with regard to immigration and the terrible history of the treatment of immigrants and slavery.
Midnight, Texas (2017)
Why are you cancelling this series?
This is a great series that deserves a long life. It has a great story-line and cast. If there is lack of audience try moving it to a different time slot. If your mind can't be changed, I hope that someone else will pick up the series. For those of you who like this series hammer the network. Lets go folks, the series needs to be saved.
New Amsterdam (2018)
The drive for real healthcare
The healthcare in this country is abominal. It is Profit over the People! This show strive to take the profit out of the picture and to actially care for the patients.
Bodyguard (2018)
One of the best TV Series this year
The story has many twist and turns that grasp the viewer and hold on till the very end. I would definitely like to see this as a continuing series. The character build up is impressive and the main character David is better than any superhero.
Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016)
There Needs to be a Season 4
One of the best shows on TV, with an outstanding cast needs to be continued. Season 4 must come to life and Harry's luck extended.
I love that Season 3 ended with Harry and Daisey walking on the Giant's Causway in Norhtern Ireland. It brought back lots of memories. I miss all my times back there.
Stan, if your out there, the show must go on.
Taboo (2017)
2nd Season
I have just been informed that FX and BBC have given the go ahead for a second season of television's top show, Taboo.
The new season of the series – which was created by Steven Knight, Hardy and Hardy's father Chips Hardy – will consist of eight hour-long episodes. The first outing was set in 1817 and saw Hardy's James Keziah Delaney, a man thought long dead, return to London from Africa to inherit what was left of a shipping empire, but find himself navigating increasingly complex territories in order to survive. - THR
I look forward for the next season of the adventures of James Delaney.
The Crimson Field (2014)
An Excellent Period Piece
I rate The Crimson Field with 'Call the Midwife' and 'Downton Abbey.' It is British drama at its best with a fantastic cast of those some of you may remember from other shows. However, there is no stereotype in their roles from previous shows. Truly remarkable acting. What is equally important is that the show is true to the actually happenings, both from a historical point of view as well as social. The war itself was a slaughterhouse due to the ineptitude of the British and French generals and senior officers. Some of which is depicted in the series. It was a hundred years ago that the war began and truly didn't end until 1945. Again, the result of the British and French generals seeking retribution from Germany when the armistice took place.
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (2014)
Cosmos Needs To Be Kept Alive
Fox needs to make sure that Cosmos is on next season and for many more. It is the only show on science. This country needs scientists now more than ever and the only way for that to happen is for youngster to get excited about it. Neil deGrasse Tyson is the perfect host with his passion for the subjects presented and this passion will hopefully effect those watching the show.
I understand that shows are presented so as there is a profit through sponsorship. However, in this instances the sponsors have to consider the effect of the show on the country. Please maintain the show as a public service and your rewards will show up in other ways besides profits.
Today a youngster watches the show and gets excited and wants to become a scientist. Tomorrow he finds a cure for cancer.
Nashville (2012)
If You Love Music
I have seen the first two episodes and in each I was mesmerized by the music. While I deeply enjoy all kinds of music from classical to heavy metal, truth be known that I have never really followed country. That is until this show grabbed hold of me from its inception. At first I thought that the music was dubbed, but it is not and what amazes me is the singing talents of Connie and Hayden. The duet sung by Clare and Sam was mind blowing. Not just the singing but the camera work and the looks on the faces of the actors was as much apart of the song as the voices. If you didn't feel anything from viewing and listening to it you must be on the slab at the coroners.
This is a show that will take time to gain a footing with the audiences. ABC needs to give it a full season to reach out to the viewers. It is a unique piece of art within a gallery of the same old things. If you haven't watched it, than start from the beginning. When you do view it, don't do anything else. You must give it your undivided attention. If you love music, you will love this show. I wish it the best.
Beauty and the Beast (2012)
Cut the Music
While it takes more than one show to make a decision as to the quality of the show, one thing does stand out. That is the background music, which was totally overpowering. If I wanted to watch a music video I would not expect to find it on a TV drama show. The music was continuous through the total show. It overpowered the dialogue and everything else. The fact is that the background music should have only been used during the interludes of dialogue; never on top of it. Then so sparingly to continue the action. Did somebody get paid extra for the music or was it being played in the background during editing and got scored to the video.
Lets reduce the music so I can ascertain the quality of the show and determine what number it deserves for my vote.
Continuum (2012)
Are the Bad really Good?
So far I have watched the first six episodes and you have to ask yourself are the Bad Guys really doing the right thing to save the future? For the future is run by corporations not the government. In reality the corporations do run the government in this country at the present. The economic downturn was created by the repeal and change of laws that were enacted after "The Great depression" to prevent it from recurring. Why do you think the Congress went along and made these changes; tell me the difference between a political contribution and a bribe.
We see at the end of the sixth show that Kiera starts to see the truth of her life in 2077. With her enhanced memory she notices that the way things are in 2077 are for the benefit of certain people and the rest be damned. Now the group from the future is not interested in present individuals as long as they can manipulate them to try to change the future. The question is, are they doing the future of mankind a service and will Kiera be swayed into helping them? The show is another Canadian creation that hopefully will move to SyFy as did Lost Girl.
The Newsroom (2012)
One of the best, if not the best show on the air.
I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch the show. This being Jeff Daniels first foray on the not so small screen. I have seen Aaron Sorkin's writings before and was impressed by his talent. However, the opening salvo of the show blew me away. Sorkin's words and Daniel's deliverance of the state of this country was spot on. I only wish that all the people of America could have been on the receiving end of the dialogue. It would have been a great awakening.
The new that we receive today is instantaneous by the likes of Twitter and other Internet and smart phone technology. But it only gives you bursts of what has been going on in the world. I miss the days of Cronkite and Murrow. A time when people stopped what they were doing to listen and watch what was unfolding in the world.
The Newsroom brings you back to the times where the news on TV was the centerpiece of ones evening. The script is superb, the acting fantastic, and I for one could not keep my eyes from leaving the screen. I wish The Newsroom, all the best and a long life.
Awake (2012)
One of the BEST shows EVER!
If your idea of watching TV is visual and audio stimulus, than this is not your series. What makes this show so fascinating, besides Issacs and the rest of the cast, is that you must concentrate on the activities. The premise that you can live in two worlds at the same time is terrific. Not knowing whether either or both are real and then finding clues in one world that flow back to the other.
The two psychologists, one in each world, that each are assertive that their's is the real world and the other is a dream are important markers that allow you to move from one world to the next. If one world is moved to Portland will Issacs reality come crashing in on him and will one world become real.
The writers have a marvelous plot to write on and I have noticed that the episodes are maturing in their complexity. This is a show that demands all of your attention. You cannot test and do other things while watching or you will miss all of little nuances that make it so special.
It is one of the best shows ever to be on the little screen and I wish it a long life. i would like to know who plays the penguin.
