Creeped Out – Tv Show – Review

Creeped Out, Directed by Bruce McDonald

Summary

Creeped Out is a brilliant show, much like the Goosebumps series. Each episode is a creepy new story with different characters. These characters always find themselves in unexplained, scary situations, and have to find a way to get out. “The Curious,” a masked figure that collects these tales seems to be the reason for their dystopia. But the question is, will all the kids be able to escape their problems, and will it ever end?

Review

This show really did creep me out; It is full of jump scares, thrilling scenes, and suspense. What’s more is that each episode also carries a message and talks about the situations most teenagers find themselves in these days. The characters learn an important lesson at the end of an episode, and so does the audience.

With a new cast in every episode, the show becomes more exciting to watch. But having the cast change so frequently also caused different opinions on the acting itself, which led to confusion. For example, in a few episodes, the cast that was chosen wasn’t right for the episode they were shooting, and that affected the acting. Most episodes had amazing characters with a great cast though, so this didn’t affect the show too much.

Overall, I enjoyed watching Creeped Out, and I recommend it especially to teenagers because of the problems it addresses, as well as the valuable messages and advice given.

Loki – TV Show – Review

Loki, Directed by Kate Herron

Summary

The Disney + show continues Loki’s adventures after disappearing with the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame. He ends up in the TVA (Time Variant Authority), surrounded by strange people who claim he is a variant. Here, he meets Mobius, with whom he tracks another Loki variant named Sylvie. But the two variants soon realize that the TVA is controlling people’s lives and taking away their free will. They need to destroy it and help everyone get back to their lives before the TVA. But a new villain is the mastermind behind all this, so will Loki and Sylvie be able to trust each other enough to defeat him, or will their differences come between their mission and start a war bigger than they could ever imagine?. . .

Review

After just being released, Loki rises to the top in Marvel Studios, being claimed the best Marvel series so far by thousands of fans, and I can see why; From the first episode, Loki has grabbed my full attention and interest. As the series continue, the episodes reveal more about the characters, and the show overall; so it just keeps getting better and better. We learn more about Loki, and why he acted the way he did in the Avengers movies. Loki is such an interesting character, and this show proves it, because there is so much more to his personality than shown previously. Sylvie is also very interesting, because she has a mysterious aura to her character, and I love seeing her interactions with Loki.

The plot was brilliantly structured, as it was creative and original. There are endless twists throughout the show, all of which leave me sitting at the edge of my seat. It isn’t dry and boring because there is also a lot of action, story arcs, and character development.

Overall, I love Loki, and can’t wait for the next season to come out. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Marvel series, because this is one on a whole new level.

Lost In Space – TV Show – Review

Lost in Space, Directed by Tim Southam

Summary

Lost in Space is about a family full of smart, handy survivors; The Robinsons. On their way to a fresh start and a new life, the Robinsons’ spaceship goes off course and lands on an alien planet. Now they have to find a way to get back to the Resolute.

This family meets many new people and challenges along the way, and they learn to work together with each other. But trouble always seems to follow the Robinsons. . .

Review

Lost in Space has the classic mixture of adventure, action, and mystery that ever good show needs. Every character in this show is so smart and knowledgeable about their own interests. This was why all of them stole my heart and had me feeling whatever they were going through at the moment. It is amazing how every character has their own personality that mixes nicely with everyone else. All of them were so great at acting that they made me either love their character or dislike them a lot – no in between.

There is so much trauma that the family is dealing with in each episode; it feels like you are sharing it all with them. All the excitement and adventure makes you want to keep watching.

I really enjoyed watching this show and can’t wait for the next season to come out! I recommend this to anyone who likes mystery and action shows.

The Greenhouse Academy – TV Show – Review

The Greenhouse Academy, Directed by Roee Florentin

Summary

The Greenhouse Academy is a show about two siblings, Haley and Alex. One day, their mom dies, and their lives change forever..

Alex and Haley get accepted into the school their mom used to go to, and drama is everywhere. The two houses, Ravens and Eagles, are always competing, and things get even harder when crushes develop. But between all this drama, there is a greater conspiracy lurking in the shadows. An evil plot that requires the Eagles and Ravens to work together to put an end to. . .

Review

The Greenhouse Academy was full of entertainment; It made me laugh, cry, and feel the need to watch more after every episode. The acting was definitely the best I have ever seen. The way each actor/actress was able to completely let go of real life and step in their characters’ shoes was fascinating.

But this show has a slow and confusing starting that might throw some people off. Though you just need to continue watching, and I promise you, it will keep getting better and better.

Seasons 3 and 4 were a welcome surprise. It was a nice change that the spotlight was on another character, because we got to know more about their background. The cast changed a little, and some characters were replaced, or completely gone. But the mixture of drama, mystery, and romance still remained – or even increased.

Overall, this show was one of the best I have watched on Netflix. I loved it, and I recommend it to anyone!

The Unlisted – TV Show – Review

The Unlisted, Produced by Justine Flynn

Summary

The Unlisted is a show about twin brothers, Dru and Kal. They discover a secret conspiracy that the government is planning; It is a plot to brainwash all kids and make them smarter and stronger. But everyone at their school, even Kal, is under control. Dru has the advantage, so he works together with his twin, as well as some other Unlisted kids to shut down the program and save the world.

Review

The Unlisted is an incredible mystery-thriller show. Each episode ends with a small cliffhanger, which makes you want to watch more and more. The plot twists were frequent, and left the audience in suspense, sitting at the edge of their seats.

All the characters had their own roles to play, and their personalities mixed together really well. The twin connection between Dru and Kal is fascinating to watch. The show sends so many positive messages that talk about how teamwork, intelligence, and skills can defeat anything.

But in some serious parts of the show, the acting became a little questionable. It could have been performed better, though all the actors/actresses were new faces, so it was expected.

Overall, I give this show 5/5 stars, it such an exciting one. I recommend this to anyone who loves mysteries and thrillers.

Monk – TV Show – Review

Mr. Monk, Created by Andy Breckman; ‎David Hoberman

Summary

Monk is a American comedy-drama detective show, portraying the life of Adrian Monk, a brilliant man. He suffers of mental disorders and phobias, and the death of his wife, Trudy Monk, haunts him even years later; It’s the only murder he hasn’t been able to solve yet, but will he ever? . . .

Review

I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to find a show with light-hearted laughter, positive messages, and role model examples.

This show is entertaining, sad, funny, and will steal your heart. It shows how people with disorders and illnesses can be brilliant as well, and with Adrian, this shines through his personality. His way of solving cases, the passion, and the way he notices little things, will have you hooked. It has witty dialogue, and the plot keeps the audience begging for more. I appreciate Monk because of the writers’ and directors’ effort to make sure that the murder mystery itself is not the main focus of every episode. Friendship is the real theme of this show; The main characters show each other respect and demonstrate what it is to be a true friend. Overall, I think Monk is one of the best, if not the best, crime shows, out there.

No Good Nick -TV Show-Review

No Good Nick, Directed by Keetgi Kogan, David H. Steinberg

(4/5) PG

No Good Nick pretends to be a distant relative to the Thompson family, and tricks them into adopting her. Jeremy is suspicious right from the start, because nothing about her seems right. He was determined to figure Nick out before she did something terrible. But she is out for revenge and won’t stop until she has made the Thompson’s life as miserable as they made hers. . .

When this show first came out, not many people believed in its success. But, watching it, proved them wrong. First of all, the plot twist, storyline, and the cliffhangers at the end of each episode, give the show a little bit of suspense, making it a real nail biter. The acting is great, and characters are portrayed well. Nick, the main character, is a street-smart, witty, and intelligent kind of girl. The show however, has a laugh track, and the humor is kind of pushed. At first, the jokes seem a little mean, but you get used to it. But following Nick’s journey with the Thompson family, and getting to see just how far she will want to go to help her dad, is the best kind of experience. I will definitely recommend this show, and will be watching it again myself soon!

The A List -TV Show – Review

The A-List, Directed by Will Bigham

(5/5) PG

The A-List is a mystery-thriller series available on Netflix. It tells of a story filled with drama in the secluded island where some teens are staying for camp. Away from home, away from other people…But are they away from the dangers lurking in the secrets of this island?…

This movie is perfect for when you want to watch a good mystery/horror show, with a bit of humor! The storyline had me captured, and was intriguing nonetheless. I didn’t like however, how the characters were oversimplified, and their scripts didn’t make sense in some parts of the show. Also, the good actors with small parts were shadowed behind the main characters, and too underdeveloped.

Mia and Amber’s feud adds to the drama. Luka, the runaway criminal, is a strange, but acceptable addition to the cast of this show. The friendship and tension between Luka and Mia was bizarrely entertaining. My favorite part of the show was definitely the ending. The suspense made me strongly crave or the next season, wondering what will happen. Some might call it sequel-clickbait, but I am all for it!

This show is directed for younger teens, but contains some mild scariness.

Jessie -TV Show – Review

Jessie, Directed by Pamela Eells O’Connel

(4/5) PG

Summary

Jessie is a Comedy-Drama Sitcom available on Disney Plus. It is the story of an incident that led to an unpredicted nanny for the Ross family. She was probably the best nanny they ever had; But, she only came here to fulfill her dreams of becoming a Hollywood star. Each episode is a day in the crazy lives of the Ross family, and it will have you doubled over with laughter and emotion at the same time!

Review

Jessie is the type of show that I have no problem re-watching several times. The interesting plot, humor, and drama, will keep you hooked. I also love how every episode is different, because it makes me want to continue watching; wondering what the next one will be about.

All the characters have something special about their personalities, and even though they might not always get along, the Rosses are always there for each other at the end of the day. Jessie’s personality definitely stands out because she is a strong independent woman who never gives up on her dreams, even after getting rejected multiple times. Her love for the Ross kids starts to grow, and develops into something that might be an obstacle on her path to pursuing her dream. But will Jessie choose her career or the kids?

Bunkd -TV Show – Review

Bunkd, Directed by Pamela Eells O’Connell

Bunkd continues the adventures of Emma, Ravi, and Zuri. In this show, their millionaire parents send them to a summer camp. But when they get there, it is nothing like they expected; The camp director is a mean lady, and the food served there is just disgusting. All they wanted was to spend summer vacation with their parents, but now they were stuck in Camp KikiWaka. Could this be the worst summer of their lives?

Bunkd is hilarious and will leave you in fits of laughter as you watch the Ross family’s everyday life in camp KikiWaka. The first 2 seasons were amazing. You got to follow them as they learned to adapt to their weird surroundings and make new friends.

But seasons 3 and 4 were a letdown for me. The whole show is a spinoff of Jessie, and is supposed to be based on Emma, Ravi, and Zuri. However, these seasons unexplainably took away all of the main characters. The replacements were younger kids, and these kids’ acting, along with the script, ruined a great show.

Overall, this show was awesome for the first couple of seasons.

So I would recommend those seasons , because they were fun to watch and were better than the rest of the show.
