Wynonna Earp (2/4)

Wynonna Earp is Jessica Jones, without the real fire & fun. A "strong and tough woman", although this one has no super powers (yet), who's brash, harsh, give-no-damn kind of girl. A descendent of demon-killers Earp legacy, who hold a special gun "peacemaker" (which only they can hold), to kill the demons, I mean "the revenants". She has a sister to save, and fight with. She has a strong male character to lean on. And a white male villain, connected to her past.

Well, that's practically where similarity with Jessica Jones ends, as far as story goes. But similarity in the character and performance, remains. Although the show finds similarities in many other shows on TV right now. And its another show involving the lead female character finding and demons (Shadowhunters, Shannara). Being helped by other strong male characters. I mean, its just repeated, boring and nothing great. I think we have had enough of them already.

The action scenes are not as hard core as the Netflix's Marvel shows. The show tries to play it dark & grim, with occasional dose of comedy, which is not bad, but not impressive either. The production quality is quite mediocre, for what we are used to seeing on TV. Performances are not bad, but the story and dialogues are filled with cliches. The show really needs something more, something better.

Everyone has demons. Hers are real. Wynonna Earp airs Fridays at 10/9c. " Premieres Friday, April 1 at 10/9c " Subscribe To Syfy: http://po.st/Ccur3W Series Description: Based on the IDW Comic, Wynonna Earp follows Wyatt Earp's great granddaughter as she battles demons and other creatures.

The simplest way for me to figure, if I like a TV show, is the fact, if I want to watch it again. Honestly, I did not care to watch second episode. I thought I'll give this 2 episodes before my review. And even after 2 episodes, I'm not really impressed. I'm not sure I'm going to go back and watch...

Lopez (3/4)

George Lopez is back, again, with a new TV show with his name, again, where he plays himself, again. And its actually funny & good, again! 

The show is created by John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, who have done amazing shows from Kings of Hill, to Silicon Valley. No wonder TV Land gave a 12-episode straight-to-series order in August 2015. And the shows premier today was quite funny & fun. We see George Lopez, an aging & successful brown comic, but only popular with browns & blacks, struggling to keep up with the whites & the world.

A new comedy from George Lopez and co-creators of Silicon Valley, Lopez is inspired by the life of George Lopez. It starts Wednesdays, March 30th at 10/9c on TV Land Lopez Premieres Wednesday March 30th at 10/9C on TV Land! Watch a preview on the TV Land App!

George is hilarious, as usual, and really suits the part! The guest star Snoop Dogg, didn't have much to add, but had a nice part. Most of the rest of the cast was good too. But  this episode heavily relied on George's shoulder, and he did great. The jokes were funny, and socially relevant. Like most of George's show, it's still heavily focused on hispanic issues and many cliches & stereotypes too. Hopefully we see that evolve in upcoming seasons, with more characters developing.

Enjoy!

Arrow - Season 4 - Green Arrow (3/4)

The Season 4 premier of Arrow was fun. I don't think anyone was surprised to see Oliver Queen back, but it was nice to see him finally become the Green Arrow. The show has handled this transition beautifully. After Deathstroke and Ra's Al Ghul, Damien Dahrk seems like a great villain to welcome. And the episode raised some new questions which we will be looking answers for.

***spoilers***

Oliver Queen is enjoying his leisurely life with Felicity as a couple, making dinners & desserts with new friends. As he's ready to propose to Felicity, he's interrupted by Thea and Laurel. Star City (renamed from Starling City, in memory of Ray Palmer) is under attack one more time, and this time it's the Ghosts being lead by Damien Dahrk. He's not a meta, he's mystical with super powers like telekinesis, healing and sucking out life of others. So Oliver has to be back in a new green Suit, and become Green Arrow. 

But Who is Damien Dahrk? Why is detective Lance working with him? His wife is in trouble I guess? Or he can bring Sara back? In flashback - What happened on island this time? I'm guessing he finally left form there lol... And in flashfuture - whose grave is it? Felicity? Thea? Laurel? Diggle? Detective Lance? WHO?!?!?

***spoilers end***

It was good to see Arrow as Green Arrow, and back in action. It was interesting to see Diggle in that mask, but they can do better. And he needs to stop being mopey.Also Damien seems a good villain. Let's see if he's better than Deathstroke and Ra's Al Ghul. I hope Deathstroke comes back too. Looking forward to next episode.

The Flash - Season 2 - The Man Who Saved Central City (3/4)

The season 2 premier of The Flash wasn't as flashy or exciting as I was hoping for. But it was still interesting and nice. Some old characters have left, but new characters are joining the story and the cast, which is nice. And although the episode started on a down note, it ended on a high.

***spoilers***

The episode opens with a reuniting of the original Team Flash, including Ronnie and Dr Wells. Yes, Dr Wells. But it all turns out to be dream, where Barry is a lone wolf, 6 months after the "incident". Barry did save Central City from the black hole, but both Ronnie and Eddie died, saving the day. Barry is back to moping, and turned into a mopey lone wolf. But when a new meta Atom Crusher arrives, he cant defeat him by himself. We get to see Dr Wells again, in a video message telling Barry that he was never his true enemy. And leaves his confession about killing Norah on video, so his dad can be freed. The family reunion was kinda stretched but still nice. With help from the Team Flash, Barry is able to defeat Atom Crusher, but he dies saying "Zoom", asked him to kill Flash. So, Zoom is coming! And at the end, we see Jay Garrick. Yes, 2 Flashes!!

***spoiler ends****

So overall it was nice episode. Scenes seem long and mopey, with not enough action. We definitely missed Dr Wells, hope he comes back some how. And hopefully with Jay Garrick and Zoom in equation, it'll get interesting again. Looking forward for next episode... and Arrow!
