Love movies and TV shows, especially good comedy and science fiction, but also drama, crime and some fantasy. Also a few documentaries and reality TV.

Altered Carbon

This show is great, I am impressed by the excellent production design and thorough worldbuilding reminiscent of genre titans like Blade Runner or the original Ghost In The Shell. The story and characters are interesing, The acting is decent all the way through with some stand-out performances by James Purefoy, Joel Kinnaman and others. If you like cyberpunk or sci-fi noir, definitely give this a look!

This show doesn't pull any punches. You will come to hate some characters as much as you love them, and the issues covered in the episodes are central to our society and how we treat each other. There's some good laughs here and there, but you'll come back for the spectacle of it. And along the way, you may learn some things about yourself.

From the mind that brought you Beavis & Butthead and Idiocracy comes this hilarious show about a Silicon Valley start up company and the people working to make their big break in the tech industry. Lots of laughs, really accurate to the geek world of programmers and the characters are great. They aren't glorified in any way which I really like.

Groundbreaking anime with fanstastic visuals and a good story, gets pretty philosophic towards the end but is definitely worth watching (maybe even a few times)

Some scientific inaccuracies aside, this is an inspiring and uplifting docu-series that makes interplanetary exploration tangible for the viewer, an important feat in these anti-scientific times.

Funny and smart sci-fi comedy with somewhat dated but still hilarious humor. The characters are all great and develop in interesting ways, and particularly the earlier seasons have some really creative episodes. The low budget doesn't keep it from being well written and very entertaining.

A good mix of stupidity and hilarity that will have you craving more. Jon Glaser does an awesome job capturing his character Neon Joe, and the supporting cast aren't throwaways either. Some good cameos too. If you enjoy cheesy comedy that involves werewolves and sexual antics this will not cease to entertain you.
If you're into shows like Delocated or Rick & Morty, you'll like Neon Joe.

The Detour

These parents are not model parents, they are trying to be but constantly fail. A goofy father and a progressive mother who likes to get high.
It is good that the comedy is taking place on the road and not in the same living room or kitchen. In every episode you are to meet new people and experience a different set. The possibilities in a road trip are endless and the creators seem willing to explore them. So far the comedic timing is good but keep in mind that the humor might not be for everyone. It is raunchy, vulgar and awkward.

I'll say it like it is: This show is made by horrible people, and anyone who watches it supports them and the abuse of those poor children.

John Stamos excels in "Grandfathered". Superb character development throughout. The portrayed situations are very believable. This show is definitely a highlight of the new season, I shall be tuning in every week. The baby is adorable and Stamos plays his role in a charming believable manner. The support characters are well cast, particularly the son. I look forward to watching Stamos establishing relationships with his son, granddaughter, grandmother and his restaurant staff as they adjust to his new persona. Loved the Bob Saget cameo.
