Star Trek: Discovery: Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad (2017)
Favorite Episode- so far!
LOVED IT! Up to this point I've been content with the show with some episodes being good and others okay. This was the first episode that totally got me vested and kept me on the edge of my seat. It was just good ol'fashioned storytelling all throughout with unexpected twists and turns.
Jessica Jones (2015)
A Thriller that thrills to the very end!
First let me start by saying I hate reviews where the reviewer is so pompous that they have the audacity to tell u how u will feel after watching a show, -or if they feel strongly about something then their view is somehow superior to differing views. Reviews are intimate, it's about what the show did or didn't make u feel- and with that said I rated JJ 9 out of 10.
It isn't a happy-go-lucky feel good show by any stretch of the imagination and unlike other Marvel properties it's dark, intense, and heavy- and explores very adult themes. Krysten Ritter superbly plays the sulking victim turned flawed-heroin to perfection- also worthy of note is the strong casting for Luke Cage as well. But the standout out star in the show is David Tennant's Kilgrave, a misguided sociopath and in some ways, a victim of his own powers. The complexity and full fleshed out character makes him go well beyond your standard villain. His obsession with all things Jessica is fully explored and his motivations are throughly explained.
This show wont be for everyone, it's dark tone will no doubt put some off but if you are into complex thrill rides it doesn't get much better than Jessica Jones. Dare Devil set the bar extremely high for this series and as far as Im concerned JJ not only cleared it but set it even a tick higher. Im super psyched for Luke Cage at this point! What a great time for comic-book fans!
