Well, I have at least two
important shows that I’m reviewing here for another blog too. I’m getting to
one of them in this post. I’ll get to the other in a future post. Here are all
the midseason shows that have started at this time that I saw and here are my
reviews of them.
Ellen’s Game of Games: Show Description- Using things done on her
talk show, Ellen DeGeneres hosts a show where people have to do random games to
move on and get a lot of money potentially. Behind the Scenes- Pretty much the
notable things I mentioned about this are in the previous group as well. My
Thoughts- It seems odd in some places and I don’t know if it is fair entirely.
Ellen’s tendency to ask trick questions can make you wonder if everything is on
the up and up. But I do admit that it is funny and entertaining. I give it
three out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- This has already been renewed for
a second season. I don’t know yet if it will last beyond that or not. Where to
Find- On Tuesdays at 8/7 Central on NBC
The Resident: Show Description- This is a medical drama that
features different doctors, some new, and there are various problems at the
hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot that is hard to sum up
easily. Behind the Scenes- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good
Wife and Gilmore girls. It also has Emily VanCamp who starred on Brothers and
Sisters as well as Revenge. My Thoughts- This seemed pretty good. It points out
the flaws that can happen in a hospital, but does it in a good way. I just hope
that it doesn’t seem too similar to House. The lead can be strange and
arrogant, but that is part of the show’s appeal. It can seem more humanizing
that most medical dramas that I’ve seen in the past. I give it four out of five
stars. Long Term Prospects- It is hard to tell for sure this early, but I think
that it might last a bit for now. Where to Find- On Mondays at 9/8 Central on
FOX
Black Lightning: Show Description- A black superhero comes out of
retirement to protect his city from new threats. Behind the Scenes- This is
adapted from a DC comics character, but is not part of the main franchise of
superhero shows on the CW (yet at least). My Thoughts- There could be more
people that have super powers in this than I’ve seen thus far, but props to
this show for going the route that there are more normal humans that can solve
problems. It is a largely back centered show so it can seem a bit different
than most shows on network television. I see it as largely good, but it needs
improvement as it goes along. I give it three out of five stars. Long Term
Prospects- This might last for now, but I’ll hold off on a more firm prediction
until later. Where to Find- On Tuesdays at 9/8 Central on the CW
Well, that’s it for part one
of these reviews. I don’t know what all I’ll be reviewing later. Just know that
if you read a different blog of mine, you would know what show I will review
next time I get to the new midseason shows this year. I don’t yet know if there
will be a part 3 or not. But you got the first batch of these reviews. As for
the rest, well, to be continued…
