This TV series was inspired by comic books. All good TV series have their crutch that makes them brilliant, be they the dynamic between Mulder and Scully, the surreal feeling of grounding in the Sopranos, to the intricate science of CSI. This TV show took the risk of using Movie-style action scenes, which is risky because it is often very expensive if you want to make it look good. Considering the fact they had a TV budget, they have done a good job.
Despite the seemingly silly premise, they have inserted quite a few smart plotlines and clever character arcs. The problem is that the series takes a long time to come into its own. You do not get an instant feel for the mood or character the same way you do with Family Guy, South Park or they way you did with 24.

Some episodes are filler episodes, which is endemic of a TV series that is based strongly on one over-riding story arc. They have had to put in a few filler episodes to stretch it out a little. It is not a terrible thing, but they are the sort of episodes you will skip the second time you watch them through. Overall, it was a risky endeavor given the premise and the reliance on returning viewers that are aware of the plot, but it seems to have paid off this time.

Humans. They are the most advanced manifestation of life on the planet Earth. They have assumed control of this planet in only a few thousand of years and in an even shorter amount of time they have widely affected this entire planet. But just because they are advanced doesn't mean they are perfect. They have control over most of the processes that occur on this planet, many of which are essential for the existence of life. Though due to flaws within their physiology as they do not let these processes stabilize, humans instead continue to push the planet past its limits of sustainability. But if these changes do not affect us negatively,
Imagine a world where everyone was accepted, no matter where they came from. It’s a dream world, am I right? Everyone has to come up in the world, and make their own place for themselves. Well, in Fresh off the Boat, Eddie Huang has to do this in the suburban world of Orlando. Being Taiwanese, he does not exactly fit into the stereotypical ‘American’ life. So, in this series, he and his family work hard to live the American dream.
That 70s Show was a popular sitcom that first aired in the 90’s on FOX TV. It captured the lives of six friends going against societies assumptions by making impulsive decisions while handling their own lives, as well as their extremely Americanized families. Through an ideological perspective, the show reflects societies expectations and the actions that should be taken in order to fit into the 70s lifestyle. In addition, the sitcom overlooked various events that occurred throughout the time period such as technological advances, political movements and social ideologies.
My Opinion in on how we can end modern day is to fight to end it by making a statement and not just by yourself but by having a voice that can be heard in your community but also around the country as modern day slavery should stop no matter what type of circumstances that we may be going through as many of today's america problems involve race,sex trafficking,sexuality as many of america's circumstances exists around police brutality against blacks are the more talk about in america today but when so much police brutality going on not only are we killing ourselves but we are killing our society and how next generation will be formed,we are killing our next generation over sexually,race and how we dress and present ourselves in society in my opinion it needs to come to a stop and our voice should be heard not only when a situation happens but making a statement everyday not only just for a week and stop talking about the issue that is present at hand but many ways to bring a stop to the racism and judgment based on race is to make sure your voice get heard by making a statement by joining a local social justice group. One of the many social groups in charlotte that exists are the southern coalition for social justice,freedom
On a dark, cold, rainy night in Pittsburgh, I see a suspicious figure walk past. I leave the cafe to see him checking over his shoulder as he enters the station. I resolve to follow the figure and phone the cops as I think he is up to something.
Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, which is traditionally the least-watched night for television. Perhaps this is fitting. In 2015, TV can be many things that are appropriate to the holiday: shocking, horrifying, sticky-sweet, overcommercialized, and deeply, deeply gross. But one thing it still struggles with is fear.1 Don’t believe me? Take a moment to consider: What’s the last regular TV show that was actually full-stop scary? I don’t mean frightful in bits and pieces, like one of Leatherface’s victims. I mean a show that is scary from top to bottom, from beginning to end. And I mean a show other than, say, Dads.
As the pilot continues, there are some good plotlines, but there’s simply not enough anticipation, suspense, tension, and/or romance. The pilot relies a bit too much on dialogue.
Let’s say you went to your local bank to despot some checks and out of the corner of your eye you notice a group of men storm into the bank like a bat out of hell, armed with assault rifles and wearing ski masks. With a rifle muzzle shoved in your face you are at the mercy of their every command. Would the first thought that crosses your mind be, “This is the coolest thing ever!” or would you be scared shitless? My assumption would be the second one. With that being said, why is our society so attracted to these aspects of crime portrayed in entertainment but we would do everything to avoid it all cost in real life? Does America’s love for crime, whether on the television or in the movies, secretly revel our own desires to live the dangerous and exciting lives of the criminals, police officers, and FBI agents we marvel at every night? As humans we aren’t all sociopaths but watching other people rolling the dice with their lives is fascinating, and somewhat rewarding.
Filler episodes set things in motion, filler season bore your audience and make them lose interest.
What makes this series so thrilling and captivating is that the plot isn’t stale or tired. When people think of science fiction, they think of robots or aliens in space. In this show, humans are the aliens on their own planet trying to figure out how to adapt to this new land on their own. This show is more than just a post-apocalyptic world with a bunch of people trying to kill each other. It focuses on the aspects of human life and the lengths people would go to in order to survive. There are many instances where Clarke and Bellamy must decide if saving one of their own is worth killing 20 of the enemy, or deciding who can be the most beneficial. Eventually, the Grounders and the Sky people come together to fight a whole new enemy called, Mount Weather. It’s through wars and human instinct that these people understand what it means to be human and carry the responsibility of human life. All the characters change dramatically over the course of the current three seasons, some for the better and some even turn against their own side. All episodes end in a cliffhanger, which inevitably keeps the audience coming back and expecting something greater and more elaborate than what they’ve already watched. No two episodes are the same and there is a dramatic event in each of the episodes that changes the expected direction of the plot. It is because of these reasons “The 100” has a 100% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes and averaged an 8/10 on
As a counterpoint to how focused the action is, the narrative wobbles along on clichés and spy tropes. The events aren’t terribly inventive or surprising; the premise is effectively identical to that of Just Cause 2, except Medici is Rico’s home. But even if the plot isn’t that clever, what really surprised me is how genuinely entertaining the writing is; the characters are genuinely entertaining and spout often-clever action-movie-esque one-liners, further creating a sense of almost-parody.
Reality TV is not just one thing, it is a lot of things squeezed into one. People call it a "meta-genre." With this comes "sub-genres" which makes every reality based show possible and they can be considered as a part of this elaborate, diverse, and complex genre. In "Factual Entertainment and Reality TV," Daniel Beck, Lea C. Hellmueller, and Nina Aeschbacher do an excellent job dissecting this genre and informing the audience what Reality TV really is and what it does for us as well. The shows that represent this genre offer more than the audience assumes and the authors researched and explored this topic to be able to teach its audiences what really happens behind the curtains.
We are well within the one-week countdown mark to possibly one of the most hyped series of Doctor Who in the show’s five-decade history. On the face of it, the series looks to be like any other. One with lots of monsters, mystery and adventure. Also with the important point of it being another Moffat series to add to his collection (which isn’t a terrible collection at that).
One of the best parts about the show is being able to see how each of the characters develop and change over the course of the show. When the show begins they are all just starting
I have many big problems with this show. First of all, the pacing is unimaginably slow. That’s not the biggest problem because here is this:
