Whatever Weds The American Season 2 Review

6:11 pm By Lawrence

The-Americans-Season-2-Poster

The Americans is an amazing show with the most morally reprehensible characters next to Game of Thrones. The show is set in the early 1980’s and centers on a family where the parents are actually KGB sleeper agents living next door to a devout American FBI agent investigating Russians in America. The show is incredibly tense with nail biting suspense and multidimensional all be it morally terrible people across the board.

The titular Americans are Elizabeth and Phillip Jennings just your ordinary everyday pleasant neighbors….who as mentioned are secretly bad ass KGB agents working to bring down the American way while slowly but surely getting sucked into it. The show is ASTONISHING as it really shows realistically what people would do for their country and patriotism in the face of betraying their morals for The Americans AND The Russians.

The show also is incredibly tense feeling in my mind as if Hitchcock himself made a perfectly crafted 1980’s spy movie and the cinematography is beautiful and is a perfect throwback to that of an awesome 70’s/80’s movie. Finally the show has an AWESOME 80’s soundtrack which I cannot recommend high enough and that goes for the show too. So if you want top notch Hitchcockian spy action and dubious duplicitous characters there are few shows I can recommend higher.

TV Tuesday Supernatural Season 9 and Finale Review

5:58 pm By Lawrence

Oh Supernatural what a topsy turvey show you are. From the highest highs like seasons 2-5 (which I consider the greatest TV arch or all time) to a ho hum sixth season, terrible seventh and not to shabby eighth season. Suffice to say though season nine had a lot to live up to now that the show was back to being almost as good as it was with Kripke as a main guy on it.

So did this season fulfill what it was seemingly promising?  Like much of Supernatural after Kripke it does and doesn’t. While we were promised an epic Angels VS Demons VS humans WAR what we got was interesting but FAR less grandiose and instead we get ANOTHER addiction story which season four did WAY better and more Sam and Dean whining.

ON THE OTHER HAND it did really spend time fleshing out  the non Sam and Dean characters like Crowley, Metatron and Castiel (however as bad ass as she was I felt Abandon was a bit under developed) and ending an arch that I felt had gone on FAR too long.   So let’s discuss how it all ended shall we?

Without giving away anything I loved the ending plot twist and how they resolved both the heaven sub plot as well as the brilliant way that Castiel out thought Metatron. I also loved the conclusion of Dean’s story line of the season and thought that they PERFECTLY left an amazing cliff hanger.  As it obviously should be given the paramount  nature of season finales it’s difficult to discuss it without giving away any spoilers HOWEVER I do highly recommend this finale if you’re sticking with the season you’ll be more then rewarded for a hohum season.

Horror movies tend to come in one of two fashions. The first is the classic more “highbrow” atmospheric style  of something akin to a classic haunted house scenario where the smallest wind howl or next floorboard creek could be a….PRELUDE TO DOOM! On the other hand the 1980’s brought a genre of gnarly gore, cheesy […]
