Great show. Got hooked to the post alien invasion premise from the very first episode. The narration is fast paced and intense. All the actors does their jobs perfectly. Although there is nothing new in the plot that we have ever seen but still the execution of the story makes it looks fresh. The one thing that I was disappointed in was that after building up on the aliens for 9 episodes the big reveal wasn't that impactful. They should have shown more of the RAPs. But I hope they must have kept those for the next season. Josh Holloway completely contradicts his role as Sawyer from Lost in this one. Here instead of a con man he is ex-military family man who works for Homeland Security. Great acting. I have always been a fan of Sarah Wayne Callies since Prison Break. I loved to see her as a resistance operative. In short it is a great show for sci-fi buffs and drama lovers alike. Must see. Already waiting for season 2.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

Great movie. Satisfying to comic book movie fans be it DC or Marvel, doesn't matter. Also appeals to general movie audiences. A must see.

I am in India and as we are 13 hours ahead of the U.S. I have already watched the Thursday preview in a packed cinema hall. I admit it is a long movie and it gets boring at some points, but it is a superb entertainer and will surely satisfy fan boys as well as casual movie-goers who don't come to the cinema with any type of bias. The action is great. Ben Affleck totally nails as Batman. After watching Wonder Woman in action I was simply speechless. Henry Cavill has significantly improved as Superman. The one character for whom I had high hopes for but was disappointed was Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. He is not the real Lex but his son Alexander. He doesn't have the attitude or personality like Lex Luthor from the comics.He feels more like Metropolis' Joker. Jeremy Irons' role feels like he is used as a comic relief. His immense talent is underused. He could have been given more screen time. Doomsday is not that great but the climatic fight with Doomsday when the Holy Trinity of DC Comics unites is simply epic. The movie is brimming with easter eggs. The Darkseid symbol in one of the bat-dreams and the cameos of Ezra Miller's Flash, Jason Momoa's Aquaman and Ray Fisher's Cyborg literally had the audiences on their feet. The titular fight is great. It is long enough and will satisfy greatly. Overall it is a movie that is made for the audience and not the critics, so don't be disappointed by the critic reviews and go watch this movie. It is not the best comic book movie out there but is surely one of the best and is definitely a much needed boost for the DC Extended Universe.
