Gotham – Season 3 Overall Review

David HoganLeave a comment

Gotham S3

Sadly due to my unexpected heavy workload I didn’t get to continue with this season’s breakdown of episodes, so I’ll leave the first part up HERE, but I’ll just post this overall season review up instead. A fun season it was too, with Edward Nygma’s transformation into The Riddler and his relationship with Penguin being the highlight. Don’t get me wrong, the season wasn’t without flaws, and it may be that this season looks good because I binge watched it over a week or so rather than one episode week, but overall it was definitely a fun watch. Let’s take a closer look to see why!

Galactica 1980 – Episodes 6 – 10 Review

Galactica 1980 P2

Galactica 1980 comes to a close already, though given the “quality” I’m not really surprised the show fell flat on its face. Just like the first five there are a few brief ideas that work, but far too much that doesn’t, apart from the last episode, which focuses on Starbuck from the Original Series, that’s actually good! Hooray! Let’s take a closer look at the end of the original Battlestar Galactica run…

Gotham – Season 3 Episodes 1 – 7 Review

Gotham S3 P1

What’s that American readers (if you exist) ? Why am I reviewing Season 3 now when Season 4 is about to air? Well, sadly here in the UK the TV channel that had the rights, Channel 5, decided not to show Season 3, meaning it appearing on the UK Netflix is the first chance I’ve had to watch it. Now, that means I can binge watch several episodes, which I will, but it is more than a little annoying to be so far behind. With that said, let’s take a look at the first seven episodes of Season 3!

Galactica 1980 – Episodes 1 – 5 Review

G1980 P1

After a break from Galactica I’m back to finish off the original run… admittedly I took the break because I’d heard how back Galactica 1980 was and wasn’t in a hurry to dive in, and I can say that… it’s pretty bad, but not quite the end of us all that I was lead to believe. That being said, the first three episodes are one story, and episodes 4 and 5 are similarly linked (and are far, far worse than the first three…) so maybe it just keeps getting worse from here… Hooray?! Let’s take a look…

Game of Thrones – Season 7 Overall Review

GOT S7

The seventh season of Game of Thrones can mostly be summed up by two things: characters finally meeting each other, and setting up the big finale. Now, there are also one or two big action set pieces, don’t get me wrong, but those were the main goals this season, and they were perfectly done! If I had been writing this blog back when I finally watched the series a few years ago (catching up via a Sky Christmas marathon) you’d have seen that I’m not someone who goes crazy about the show and every aspect of it, but I will definitely tip my hat to Season 7. Very few flaws and plenty of “can’t miss” TV. Let’s take an overall look at the season then, shall we!

Game of Thrones – Season 7 Episodes 6 & 7 Review

GOT S7 P3

Game of Thrones’ Season 7 finale certainly achieved what it needed to: it gave some great moments, both action and dialogue-based, and set everything up for the big finale next Season. For that it’s hard to fault the last two episodes, though there are one or two things that stick out a bit… but nonetheless: hooray for good TV! Let’s take a closer look!

The Defenders – Overall Review

Defenders

It’s time to have a look at how The Defenders faired overall as a story. Over 8 episodes it managed to tell the story of four heroes finding, befriending and fighting alongside each other really well, sadly the foe they united to face remained pretty bland and uninspired. Still, can’t deny how fun the series was to watch, the interplay between everyone was great, and the lead foursome all had their stories moves forward, setting their next series’ up well. Let’s take a closer look, regardless!

The Defenders – Episodes 7 & 8 Review

Defenders P3

The Defenders comes to an end with a suitably action-packed final two episodes. Much like the earlier episodes, these don’t quite live up to some of the earlier Netflix MCU stuff, but it is very fun to watch, and well written. There is just that lack of a great villain stopping it still… Anyway, plenty good to talk about as well, so let’s take a look!

Sapphire and Steel – Assignment 6 Review

Sapphire and Steel A6

Sapphire and Steel reaches its conclusion, which feels far too soon but then I guess I’m comparing it to other longer running British sci-fi shows like Blake’s 7 and, well, Doctor Who, not that there are many shows that can match that episode count! Anyway, this episode has all the creepy atmosphere and question asking that comes with good examples of the series, but it also gives us a lot more of a glimpse into the world where the duo come from, which is certainly rare (and makes it feel more like the end, if nothing else) Let’s take a closer look…

The Defenders – Episodes 4 – 6 Review

Defenders P2

The middle of The Defenders is full of interaction between the main four heroes, as well as their seconds, and plenty of new information about The Hand, including introducing all of the “Five Fingers of the Hand”. Basically it moves the plot along just enough to set the stage for the finale, but really it’s all about the four previous leads of their own series meeting each other… and it works really well! Let’s take a closer look…
