Of TV Series Reviews

Each day feels like we’re inching closer to the end of life as we know it; world war, civil war, technological singularity, pandemics, famine, floods, droughts, natural disasters, and man-made implosions. Spend five minutes watching the news and it’s mostly a highlight reel of doom and gloom.

That’s probably why my taste in entertainment skews hard toward fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi; just like my reading habits. Throw in some espionage, thrillers, mystery, action, and a sprinkle of horror, and I am covered. I tend to avoid non-fiction, “based on a true story” dramas, and reality shows. And don’t get me started on tearjerkers, I already live in the real world, I don’t need to see fictional characters suffer on top of that.

I have been doing reviews for almost everything that I watch or read that its become second nature to make mental notes on The Good | The Bad | The Ugly which has grown into the basic structure of my reviews.

As someone who writes what I want to read, I don’t like spoilers, and I don’t like someone forcing their opinion and bias onto me, but rather I prefer someone to present their thoughts and invite me to make form my own conclusion. That’s what I try to do with my reviews, to let you make up your own mind if you should add something to your watchlist or stay far away from it…

    hahahahaa, we are SO opposite. I’m ALL about the spoilers and forcing my opinion down my readers’ throats 😀
    Takes all kinds though, right? 🙂

      Takes all kinds indeed… The differences keep us balanced out😂
      I love your reviewers they have saved me from committing to some authors, and also helped me find new ones I wouldnt have known to look out for. Plus you make excellent use of that description block so at times I skip on revealing that if a book is on my TBR.

        Yeah, and when I use wikipedia synopses, sometimes it goes on for pages. I had to scroll through one of my review for the wheel of time and I was like “Never again!” 😀

    I like you. It is best to avoid reality until it kills people you love.

      There is so much going on, if you carried it all you would not get anything done nor have a moment to simply BE.

    Unseen👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Gail nailed that role. As for the other series, I don’t think I will watch them, South Africa stole my heart🇿🇦

      Unseen was peak TV.
      My evening weekday routine is basically dinner while watching South African soapies… I am proud of those guys but also envious at how we don’t have a long running series of our own. Maybe I should script one 🤔

        *starts brainstorming*

        but if my suspicions are indicative you are likely to end up watching it as a Bomb Production 😂
