TV Wrap Up

Background: What happens when you combine the JFK assassination and Time Travel? 11.22.63 is what you get, and it is a damn good show. I was blown away 11.22.63. The show is about as well produced as any show out there. The characters are spot on, the cinematography is beautiful, and the plot is intriguing. The plot: 11.22.63 is about a man named Jake Epping (James Franco) who is asked to go through a time portal to prevent the JFK assassination. The man who tasks him with it believes that if the assassination is prevented then the future would be different for the better. Jake isn't so convinced but time travels anyway. Jake arrives in the past three years before the assassination takes place, and has to be convinced that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone with the plot. To be convinced he needs to follow Oswald and any other people he interacts with. The Characters: A couple characters make a big impact on Jake. The first is Bill Turcotte. Jake him meets in Kentu...

BoJack Horseman is one of the more unique shows I have watched. As an adult cartoon it is already different than most shows, but the concept is very unique. BoJack Horseman is set in a reality where both animals and humans co-exist in life. They have social relationships and intimate relationships, and it is weird to watch these interactions. The character development and characteristics are so well done in this show that you don't seem them as animals and humans, you just see them as characters.  The plot of the first season revolves around our main character BoJack Horseman. He is former TV star from the 1990s who has not acclimated to life after his acting career ended. When we first meet BoJack he is in the middle of working on his memoir. He is having trouble writing it, so his agent/ex-girlfriend Princess Carolyn urges him to get a ghost writer. This is when he meets Diane Nguyen. He is immediately attracted to her, but is dating his TV rival Mr. Peanutbutter. BoJa...

I started the television Future Man a couple weeks ago. After watching the first episode I was not really impressed with it, and thought it was juvenile. I was going to review BoJack Horseman for this week's review, but then I finished watching Future Man. After watching the rest of the season I realized the brilliance of the show. The show is a homage to 80's sci-fi. The show consists of a lot of Terminator and Back to the Future references. A lot of the references really hit perfectly for the show, and a lot of what it accomplishes is because of this.  Josh Futturman is a loser janitor and spends most of his time playing the video game Biotic Wars. After Josh beats the game the main characters of the game Tiger and Wolf enter his room. They are from the future and our asking for his help in fixing the apocalyptic future. Tiger and Wolf are ruthless human beings, and in their future it is either kill or be killed. They see Josh as the chosen one since he beat the video ...

The Last Man on Earth is one of the funniest shows that I have ever seen, and it is by far the best show I have seen since starting this blog. The show is brilliant in the way it works. The show only consists of about six characters in the first season, and over half of the season we only interact with four characters. The humor is witty and the banter back and forth between the characters is phenomenal. The general premise of the show is what would happen if you were the last person on earth, and you find out pretty quickly that there isn't a whole lot to do. Our main character is Phil Miller who is wonderfully played by Will Forte. Phil is the namesake of the last man on Earth. In prior events of the show, Phil travels around the United States painting on billboards, "ALIVE IN TUCSON." He does this in case if anyone is alive they will come to him. When he has had enough of living by himself he is about to kill himself, but at the last second he sees smoke and realizes...
