Outsiders (2016)
Intriguing! Lots of holes in the plot.
The lead character quoted this show as "mad max meets little house on the prairie". I know it has shades of MadMax but I have never heard of the little house. This show is about a clan of people called Farrells who does not have any communication with outside society. They live in their own world. Not surprisingly, they are sitting on one of the largest coal mines and so people want them out of their living place. I had a lot of questions while watching the show like where do they get electricity from, where did they get all ATVs's, wine distillery equipment from? Apart from the plot holes, I could not stop watching the episode. It was pretty interesting and involving. The actors were great and the accent sounded authentic. This show has all the flavors in it. I would totally recommend it.
Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016)
Cannot decide anything after seeing the pilot!! may turn out better than expected!!
Other than the 5 second Stan Lee's cameo, nothing stands out in the pilot. The main character is a detective (like we are running short of detective TV shows!!!) who gets lucky because of a bracelet. Apparently, people who have that bracelet have unlimited luck but with a price (yeah karma is a bitch!! we all know that). A woman suddenly shows up and gives the bracelet to the detective after helping him win some money in a casino. Also the detective owes money to the casino owner and he is killed the night he gets the bracelet. The rest of the plot is him trying to solve the murder which ends in a high action chase. The writing is sloppy. Actors are OK. May be time will tell whether this is good or not.
Odd Mom Out (2015)
You gotta check this out!!
I kind of stumbled on this show. Decided to check the pilot out. Boy, was I amazed. It was really really funny. You do not need to see four of five episodes to evaluate characters. All the characters reveal themselves completely in the first episode itself. The lead character is wealthy but not wealthy as her husband's brothers family. Even though she does not want to compete with them, it kind of keeps happening. This show has a lot of potential. It had a great pilot.I enjoyed it a lot and I hope you will too. The acting was nice and writing is decent. I hope it will get better and better and give us some laughs.
Mr. Robot (2015)
Impressive pilot!! Full of potential... Hope it becomes even more interesting.
The series has a very interesting premise. By far it has the closest technical reality when it comes to hacking .(i am talking about the bullshit they show in movies probably using hackertyper). Very nice portrayal of solving computer problems in real world. The lead character has done a really good job convincing the viewer of his mental state. The writing was decent.The cameo from Christian Slater was very good. When he talked about software running the world, virtual money and moving away from gold standard which are absolutely true. Overall the subject is really tough to deal with and the director/writer did a wonderful job in giving the audience a clear picture. One hour pilot was spectacular and I hope it will progress into a more engaging TV show. I am confident of USA network since they have been giving excellent TV.
In a World... (2013)
Truly original & beautiful.... must watch for movie lovers..!!!
I have been watching Hollywood movies since 2006, but never before I saw one movie which touched upon this subject. The movie is brilliantly written and directed by the female lead. All the actors are pretty convincing of their roles.
It is the story of a daughter of a famous voice-over artist who is trying to make a career.It is hard to believe that this film is the directorial debut for Lake Bell. The movie shows her struggle to get recognition. Even though at the end she faces the hard truth, she gets her father's attention and love and she does what she is very good at. All in all it was a feel good movie to watch..!!!
Helix (2014)
Another best sci-fi thriller show from Syfy
Watching the first three episodes that were broadcast until now, I have to tell you it is turning out to be one of the best TV shows I have watched. This show has all the elements needed to be a medical sci-fi thriller.
Apt to its name "Helix", it's the story of CDC team which goes to an Arctic Lab where there has been an infectious disease outbreak. The lead character is convincing enough. All the main characters are related to each other in some way. There is enough mystery to carry you through this series. Overall it is very good and you would like it if you like medical sci-fi thrillers.
