The Exorcist: A Heaven of Hell (2017)
Best Episode to date
I'm giving this the full 10 (about a 9.5 on my radar) for what is the best episode so far in this Series... Gripping story and wonderful acting in a Series that gets better and better with each episode. The writers, directors and cast really know what they're doing for once. Best Show on TV these days while we await the return of Westworld. Another show well worth tuning into is Mindhunter (Netflix) - a rising star.
So hope they don't drop this as they always seem to do with the better shows after a season or two,
Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016)
Not too Bad...
All told this is not the worst DC effort on our screens at present... not by a long way! I am watching Arrow among others in parallel and the worst by far is Arrow and how the writers have totally killed both the character and the series by adding in a nonsensical love interest to drag in American adolescent viewers.
Lucky Man is far from the gutter in that sense....
many a twist and turn in this and am still interested.... at lest this Show has better writing and characterization and hopefully it will continue to hold my interest!
Arrow (2012)
Seriously? That a Joke,,,
Have to say that this series had promise in its infancy but come the middle of Season 3 it fell apart totally! The problem really is attributable to diabolical Screen writing, unimaginative story lines and truly terrible characterizations. Why o why could these clowns not just stick to the DC Storyline?
Biggest problem Olicity - no doubt invented to attract the teenie-something emoji generations and the likes. The relationship simply bombs on all levels. There really is only one relationship that will work here and you need to hark back to the origins of this effort and that Photo!!! So bad I find myself skipping entire passages in episodes since mid Season 3... and am likely to give Season 6 a miss altogether from what I have been reading!
- Redemption tip: Lose Felicity as a main love interest... bring on Arrow/Canary!
But this is just the tip of the iceberg....
The show was plodding along nicely until Oliver's Showdown with The Almighty Ra's. His return to Star City was a complete joke,,,, not only for the fact that he has any right to show up at all (bouight back from the dead by some Shinto Witch when really the ONLY plausible way would have been via the Lazarus Pit) but when he does it's bang on cue, right place, right time and absolutely no intel or recon... you know the stuff he totally relies on to find his way around town and his targets... But landing on Malcom Merlyn when he's about to take out Brick from absolutely nowhere??? WHAT????
When I saw this I thought "Wow, what a total insult to intelligence this!"
There's this and the way he treated and tried to bully Team Arrow...
Really, really poor Writing... and at best this series merits 2 stars,,, one each for season 1 and 2... Will take a lot to redeem it!
Only hope Legends of Tomorrow and the Flash have different writers and more solid story lines. These bozos should go on strike... PERMANENTLY!
Think a Spin off with Speedy and Arsenal would be way better than this effort even...
