Li Hughes (285 KP) rated Marvel's The Defenders - Season 1 in TV

Aug 21, 2017

I love the cinematography in this series! The color schemes, the camera work, the choices that are made throughout are great. The story likewise, though it is quite slow through the first couple of eps as the team is re-introduced and brought together. Jessica Jones' snark is great, Luke Cage is strong and thoughtful as always, Matt Murdock steeps in his angst a bit more than I'd really prefer, and Danny Rand...is a spoiled, immature child playacting at being a superhero as before but everyone else's reactions to him make him a bit more palatable. The discussion between Cage and Rand in episode 2 was great.

Overall this is a good addition to Marvel canon. It's only as strong as its story and its weakest link, but still an enjoyable show.

The dog went on the picnic basket!

The Griswolds!

Everyone's favorite adventurous family embarks on their inaugural journey together to go see Wallyworld in California and encounters creepy annoying relatives and all sorts of unsavory characters along the way.

I once had a long discussion with someone about which was better, the first Vacation or Christmas Vacation, this one being my favorite of the bunch. The family dynamic on the open road, for me, was slightly more entertaining than Christmas at home with the relatives which is also still a lot of fun.

Seemed like a liked the introduction of Randy Quaid, John Candy, Christy Brinkley and Imogeen Coca and just thought it was a lot of fun waiting to see what happened next.

Seriously entertaining, essential for any movie fan

Currently on episode 102, I'm ashamed to say that I only recently discovered Skip To The End. It's now the only podcast I listen to, eagerly awaiting the release of each new episode. I don't really have time to listen to any other podcasts anyway... but that's not the point...

The 3 presenters are all very knowledgeable, all very funny, and have a great rapport with each other. Each week, a new movie release is reviewed and dissected and a classic movie gets rewatched for analysis and discussion. Regular features such as the top 3 (top 3 moments that ruined a movie, top 3 anti-heroes) and the mass debate all add up to make this a thoroughly enjoyable podcast for any movie fan. Highly recommended.

Mindblowing Murder Mystery

Any fan of a jolly good, old fashioned murder mystery may enjoy a new spin on the favourite format. Imagine an Agatha Christie style thriller from the point of view of several characters, a narrator who swaps bodies and arrives at different times in their week. He must solve the murder of Evelyn Hardcastle, avoid the evil Footman and play time to his advantage if he is ever allowed to leave Blackheath. This was a complex, and yet highly enjoyable, work of fiction. Within three chapters you will begin to appreciate the work it must’ve taken Turton to create this tense thriller. It’s an exhilarating peek into the minds of other characters and their perspectives, the more their individual stories overlap, the more the narrative flows. Definitely a book for discussion.
