Binge worthy
Finally making my way through Dexter. Finished the first series a while back and plenty more to get through. I don't really binge watch many TV shows but this show is the equivalent of a book you can't put down. I've got through the 12 episodes in less than a week.
Continuing on from the first Dexter is under greater scrunity than ever before and has things spinning out of his control. More great revelations going back to his past unravel.
This is just as good if not better than the 1st series. If you missed Dexter when it was first on, like me, then definitely move it to the top of your watch list!

Daleks
Been wanting to this one for along missing from the archives for fifty years now reanimated and I've just finished watching in my opinion one of the best daleks story's of the 60s which at the time was gonna be there last story as there was an attempt to create a spin off show to be shown on us tv but wasn't made which was a shame. It has every thing daleks at there most evil an emperor dalek civil war between the daleks plus patrick Troughton at his best it ticks all the boxes just a shame the orignal version was wiped leaving episode 2 and this animated version as its legacy

"So say we all!"
2003 Minis-series that acts as a backdoor pilot into the series proper of the reimagined BSG, one of the highlights of the last 20 years sci-fi TV.

This helps set up the scene of said series: just why are the fleet looking for Earth whist being pursued by the Cylons: here, reimagined from the late 70s/earl 80s clanking Robots (although those models still exist) into near-perfect simulation of humankind who are able to infiltrate the 12 colonies before launching a genocidal attack.

And thus set up the central dilemma of the show: if anyone can be a Cylon (and maybe not even know it!), just who can you trust?

The Order
2019 | Drama, Fantasy, Horror
Pretty decent, Unique take on werewolves, the way they based the magic in the show was cool (0 more)
Full of flaws, slow building, I didn't care for the romance part, some of the dialogue was laughable for being so horrible (0 more)
Don't Call Them Witches - 7/10
The Order is a 2019 supernatural horror/drama tv series created by Dennis Heaton and a team of writers including: Dennis Heaton, Shelley Eriksen, Rachel Langer, Jennica Harper, Penny Gummerson and Jason Filiatrault. The show was produced by Nomadic Pictures with producers Petros Danabassis, Jay Daniel Beechinor, and Morris Chapdelaine and released on Netflix in March. The shows stars Jake Manley, Sarah Grey, Matt Frewer, and Max Martini.


Thrust into a world of magic and monsters (werewolves), Jack Morten (Jake Manley) must pledge himself to a secret society so that he can avenge the death of his mother by their leader, Edward Coventry (Max Martini). His only family is his grandfather, "Pops" (Matt Frewer), the genius behind their plan for him to infiltrate the order and learn what he can to bring them down from the inside. Things go from bad to worse as he uncovers The Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose are practitioners of magic and someone or something is killing their pledges on campus. And more complications arise as he becomes enamoured with a higher ranking member Alyssa Drake (Sarah Grey) and a group of Knights whose mission is to stop evil magic users.


The Order is a decent show. I liked it alot but it was hard for me to get behind. It definitely has a lot of flaws and I can see a lot of people (like critics) tearing this show apart. That being said, I can't believe it has 100% on rotten tomatoes at this point or that it has been renewed for a second season. It was pretty slow building to me especially because I thought it was only going to be a secret society type show like the movie The Skulls but with a werewolf angle to it. I was very surprised when it was more about a magic secret society and later had a werewolf element to it. What I really didn't care for so much was the love theme to it that made me want to compare it to Twilight. You'll know what I'm talking about if you give it a chance. I really wanted to give this show a 6. There was a lot to hate in this show but it did get better towards the end. One thing the dialogue was full of cussing, which I didn't mind at all but it felt very amateurish. It made me laugh a lot but it also made me feel like the writers were in high school still. And I believe it's the main reason for the TV-MA rating. Which is another complaint I had. I don't think that for a rated TV-MA show, particularly a horror one, did they have enough violence, blood or gore. It felt very watered down to me in those respects. To me it seems like it was a cool idea, they had good actors who suffered from poor script and dialogue with a decent enough plot but a director(s) who were going for more of a Twilight vibe. As it gets farther into it did get better but barely got a 7 from me. As I write this I'm still contemplating whether to change my rating. It did do somethings quite well. They didn't mess up on the werewolves and even did them in a unique way and I appreciated the world building and

lore that they brought to them. Even the way they portrayed magic in the series was well done. I also generally liked the second half of the seasons' story arc and plot. I give this show a 7/10. I don't recommend it to anyone unless you were a big fan of the Twilight films or if you are just someone who watches anything with magic or werewolves.
