The Expanse (2015–2022)

The McDonalds of television.

[3/10 · 21 January 2017]

So this series is getting some great reviews, which makes sense, it's very nicely produced.

Is it good though? I'm gonna compare it to McDonalds. Is the food good? does it taste good? No, it's crap. but People love it and by it in insane masses.

This series caters to the same people. They are turned into such blind consumers, that they think every new Netflix series is super dope, when in reality it's just some more "fast-food" TV being shoved down their throat.

But they love it!

Everyone who likes really good Series, like Breaking Bad, Dr.House, Game of Thrones, The Wire etc. should stay far away from this.

This is just some new wannabe mysterious Sci-fi series, like Battlestar Galactica, but with much worse acting, pacing and story. 70% Of the material is filler, that has no effect on the story at all.

It does look pretty nice, and has some very cool inventions from the future, but those are pretty inconsistent. On the one hand you have basically cyborgs, on the other you have people still using Smartphones.

Sneaky Pete (2015–2019)

A masterpiece.

[10/10 · 16 January 2017]

I'll make this short.

You know that feeling you get, when you bought something you were unsure about, then you open it and instantly regret having spent money on that?

I felt the same way about spending time to watch television series the last decade.

You get invested in the first episodes and then the plot just gets thinner and thinner and after a few episodes you notice what crap you're wasting your time on.

Well there was no remorse on this series for me. This is on a whole different level. This series makes other series look like "The dark Knight" made old comic book movies look like. It's just that good. I didn't think I'd see something this good ever. This will blow up and it's justified.

The plot starts as a family drama and slowly weaves in a con plot while rapidly picking up pace and creating the tensest experience I ever had while watching TV. It's masterfully crafted.

Watch it, you won't regret it.

Lucifer (2016–2021)

The DEVIL turned consulting detective.

[2/10 · 20 July 2016]

You could tell so many awesome storys about the Devil, but they decided to make him a shitty consulting detective with no power whatsoever.

The plot is full of holes, every character could be a fashion model, and characters appear in places that make absolutely no sense.

The cop girl for example walks into a drug bosses lair with like 50 armed black drug dealers COMPLETELY ALONE and wants to arrest him.

That's about how much thought goes into every scene and conversation in this series. You can clearly see, that characters act and appear where the writers want them to, rather then what would make sense for the character.

2/10 because it's kinda funny sometimes.
