What i'm currently Watching #1 [Emz]

I have a few shows that I am currently watching. I'll give you a quick rundown so you know what other reviews i'll be writing in the near future.

1. Daredevil - Season 2 

Now I had been trying to complete season 1 for a long time and have only just managed to finish. Not because I didn't like the show, just life got in the way and then I ended up watching other shows, including Jessica Jones.

The best thing about this being a Netflix original is that the series is not going anywhere so you can take your time.

I am almost at the end of the first episode where we are introduced to a new villain.

Once i have finished this season I will review it.

2. Strike: The Cuckoo's Calling

So this is a brand new series on BBC One in the UK. It follows a private investigator being hired to look into the death of a model who fell off a Balcony.

The twists in the episodes are enough to keep you hooked. Monday night's cliffhanger was one that you saw coming but left you wanting answers straight away.

I will be reviewing this after next Sunday's episode.

3. Designated Survivor - Season 1

This show is kind of a post apocalyptic type of show.  The twists and turns throughout the series have really kept me hooked. i am currently on episode 10 but as the series is exclusive to Netflix in the UK I am able to take my time with the series. Definately worth a watch if you have seen films like Olympus has Fallen... and the other two like it.

Once I have completed this series, which I hope is before the end of the year, I will review

What are you currently watching? Anything to recommend?

Till next time

TV Review: The Defenders [Emz]

I finally finished this yesterday and it was awesome! 

As I mentioned previously, the series brings together Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist.

Here is the Premise:

Set a few months after the events of the second season of Daredevil, and a month after the events of the first season of Iron Fist, the vigilantes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist team up in New York City to fight a common enemy: the Hand.

Now before we continue SPOILERS!!!!!

Review:

So, I finally finished this series after starting it on Tuesday. So the series doesn't start with the tea,  together, it starts with them all separate but they all soon find out they are all somehow investigating The Hand.

The combination on Personalities is really funny, With the slight awkwardness between Jessica and Luke after what happened in Jessica Jones Season 1 was addressed. 

I found that Danny Rand AKA Iron Fist was a little Out of his Depth and due to him growing up on a hidden island and losing his parents, he can still act like a little child.

Sigourney Weaver was a brilliant Villain, it was more Manipulation that shear fighting with her but her character definitely made an impact.

With the resurrection on Elektra and bring all the friends of Matt (Daredevil), Jessica, Luke and Danny into the show, it worked very well.

Brilliant show and I would recommend watching.

Now for me to catch up with Iron Fist and Daredevil before The Punisher is released in possibly November.

Till next time

What I'm Excited For - TV Edition #2 [Emz]

So Netflix have indulged us with 2 Marvel series so far this year, but there is one more to come.

Next up is the Series that almost never existed, The Punisher.

Frank Castle AKA The Punisher appeared in Season 2 of Daredevil, so this series is a Spin-Off.

Here is the Premise:

Frank Castle is haunted and hunted after the murder of his family and becomes a vigilante known in the criminal underworld as "the Punisher", who aims to fight crime by any means necessary.

This series sounds really good and has a bit of a different theme than Daredevil.

We have Deborah Ann Woll reprising her role as Karen Page from Daredevil. But we also have some new characters.

One of which i'm intrigued by is Billy Russo. This character is portrayed by Ben Barnes. He has appeared in quite a few films and TV series but is know for playing price Caspian in the Narnia movie series.

The Series does not yet have an air date but is rumoured to be airing in November 2017, so with new series and movies airing on Fridays i'm going to guess at 17th November.

I guessed this due to Iron Fist airing on the 17th March 2017 and The Defenders airing on the 18th August 2017.

The series will have 13 episodes.

Till next time
