This show had me hooked after two minutes. What sounds like a typical agent hunting serial killer, surprises with great characters, surprising turning points and amazing cast. I absolutely love every part of it.

Managed to binge the entire 5 seasons in one week! The acting is incredible. I laughed, I cried and I hid behind a cushion. It's got everything you could want from a psychological thriller drama. Couldn't reccommend it enough.

Captivating Sci-Fi Series

I've got a bunch of sci-fi series that I've really gotten into over the years. They're not the biggest blockbusters, but they've got something special that keeps me coming back for more.

Westworld is one of the most technically perfect shows ever produced. From the beautiful 35mm film it was shot on, the incredible production design, one of the best soundtracks and sound designs of any show ever, and the mostly flawless visual effect...

The whole concept of a town stuck under this mysterious dome is nuts, and I love every minute of it. But let's talk about Julia and Barbie - they're like the dynamic duo of the apocalypse. Their characters are so well-crafted, and the chemistry betwe...

Excellently acted, directed and the series changes, which is needed for 11 series. New characters are written and introduced well. Like GOT, characters you love die. Others go from hated to adored. The final episode of S11 is a fitting and heart-wren...

I fell in love with this show right away. At first right it reminded me of Quantum Leap, but much better with a way better cast.  It is compelling and interesting and teaches history along the way. The attention to detail with the costumes and the dialogue and historical information are a joy to watch. Also the story line with the Wittenhouse family and Flynn and trying to figu...

One of our favorite shows. My husband and I pick two contestants each, every season as a little competitive game and root for them to win it. It's a cool show to understand the psychology that people use when there aren't a lot of rules preventing th...

One of my favorite game shows. So addictive, in fact, that I had to look for more, and BINGE-watched, not only the U. S. version, but the UK and Australian versions. It is SO good, that if I understood or spoke Danish, or if it had subtitles, I would... show, bu that statement falls short in describing what this series actually is. This is not only a series where players compete for money. It's a thriller, a mystery, a drama, a comedy ... it is excellent and addictive television.
