TV REVIEW: The Newsroom (episode 1)

I’ve awaited ‘The Newsroom’, HBO’s new drama series from the mind of Aaron Sorkin, for a long time. I even wrote a preview for it nearly two months ago. After much waiting, the first episode premiered yesterday, so I could watch it today. Which I did. I’ll post my experiences while watching the first episode below. ‘The Newsroom’ starts out with Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) being questioned during a college tour. He tries to remain neutral on political topics, but when the speaker insists on getting an answer from the heart, he snaps. He...

TV REVIEW: How I Met Your Mother (Season 7)

It is now mid June. All of the mainstream series have ended their seasons, which means it is time to do a recap of the season. I’m going to post a series of season recaps starting today, about the series I’m following. What happened, what does this mean for future seasons, and how is the season compared to earlier seasons? That’s what I’ll be talking about, starting with How I Met Your Mother, one of the most well-known sitcoms since Friends. What Happened? The season starts with a teaser. Barney...

TV REVIEW: The Walking Dead (Seasons 1 and 2)

So Felix, you’ve been away for a while. How come? Well, I’ve been watching the Walking Dead for quite a while. It’s one of the reasons I havent posted in a while, and the only reason relevant to this blog post. It’s common courtesy to at least write a blog post about it, right? So here we are, I’m now going to review the first two seasons of The Walking Dead; a zombie-apocalypse series by AMC.

Is HBO Just Shitting out these Great Series?

Game of Thrones has only just started its second season, but HBO is already filling the gap after the season’s finale. Enter ‘The Newsroom’, a politically themed drama about a news anchor snapping, and trying to make a change. At least, that’s what this trailer above is trying to make me believe. The series features Jeff Daniels (Dumb & Dumber) as Will McAvoy, the news anchor in question, and his producer Mackenzie MacHale (Emily Mortimer, as known from ‘Shutter Island’ and ‘Hugo’).

THE5: Television Comedy Series

I have previously announced that I would be making lists of five things I either like, need, or dislike. That was 1.5 weeks ago. I couldn’t write one last week due to my exam, but I’ve kept my promise with today’s first official installment of ‘The 5’, in which I will inform you of my favourite, currently running television series.  If I where to include cancelled shows, I couldn’t fit it down just five. Keep an eye out in the future, I might make another list for cancelled shows.

Game of Thrones season 2 teasertrailers

I can’t believe I’ve been this fired up about a second season of a television-series. Movies, yeah, but series? No. HBO has done magnificently in turning the book-series into a something worth watching. The production value is so high, it resembles The Lord of the Rings in quality. I’m not going to compare the two in detail, but both are based upon great fantasy literature, but where LotR has been written half a century ago, A song of Ice and Fire (the name of George R. R. Martin’s series) is...
