Invincible (2021)
Only negative is the number of episodes so far!
Never heard of the comic series, and didn't know this was coming out. Only saw it because of 9gag mentioning it, but my god....this show is awesome. The storyline, the characters, the voice acting, the cast, the blood and gore. This is the best things I've seen for a while and I can't wait for the next season.
Brilliantly made and should have a lot more attention than it currently does.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Exceeded my expectations
I wasn't expecting much from this, but the fight scenes were good, story was decent, effects were great and nostalgia was high. Honestly it's main character could have used some more...well, character. But Kano made up for any weaker roles, guy was hilarious and made me laugh out loud more than once. I had been expecting a weak 5, but instead I thought it was a solid 7.5. Admittedly my perspective might be influenced by the old games and movies (there were some pretty deliberate nods with finishers, catchphrases etc), but I still really enjoyed it. It's definitely worth watching if you get the chance.
The Witcher (2019)
You need to see this
This series was amazing for me. I felt the same way I did watching Lord of the Rings all those years ago. Drawn into an incredible world that seemed so well made. Henry delivers a mind blowing performance as Geralt, and there are many other good actors throughout. I thought the timeline was a bit difficult to follow at times, but then towards the end of the season realise the reason for this. I'm so happy we finally have another TV show this amazing to look forward to, now all I'm disappointed in is that I probably have another year to wait for the next episodes.
For the low ratings here, I noticed a similarity with a lot of them. They seem to only watch half an episode, or maybe 2, and complain that they can't follow the story. This being because it takes time to build the characters and the story arc. I would say pay attention and don't expect to have an amazing TV show to have an immediate and obvious goal for the heroes to accomplish. It would be too simple.
Seriously guys, give this a watch. It's epic.
Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroys America (2019)
Surprisingly Good!
I had never heard of this comedian before,and just stick it on as something to watch with dinner. Found it absolutely hilarious, as did my parents that were visiting. We're not from the states, but still found the material really entertaining.
Definitely recommend, and I'll need to find some of his other stuff online.
