'Moone Boy': a delightful choice from Hulu

“Ever wanted to be the imaginary friend of an idiot boy in the west of Ireland? Me neither. But, there you go.”

Opened with a line like that, Hulu’s newest exclusive show ‘Moone Boy’ successfully brought a chuckle out of me. And thankfully, it only transformed into a great laughter along the show until the credits have rolled.

Another ‘The Wire’ alum lands on AMC’s zombie drama

Mother. Of. God.

I just feel fucking excited and pumped, I want to brag about this little detail on this blog.

I never told you before that among many series I watch, ‘The Walking Dead’ happens to be the one I love the most. I mean, really really love. It’s like my love for ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Arrested Development’ combined, then you got the same amount of love from me for this zombie’s series. Yeah, seriously. I’m not exaggerating.

So, earlier today, I watched ‘Walking Dead’ comic con trailer for season 4. And I couldn’t be more freakishly hysterical when I saw a long lost face from the legendary drug’s drama ‘The Wire’ on it. No, it wasn’t Chad L. Coleman whom we’ve already seen in some episodes on season 3. It was Lawrence fucking Gilliard Jr.!

65th Primetime Emmy nominations: Netflix gets a lot of love

Emmy nominees are in the house, yo!

Yesterday, Neil Patrick Harris and ‘Breaking Bad’ actor, Aaron Paul finally announced the names who made it to the list of Emmy nominations. This year, the America’s most prestigious TV award has recognized some new shows, new faces, and even new players to give the highest appreciation for their work as TV performers.

The star for this year’s Emmy, no doubt, was Netflix with its two hit series originals ‘House of Cards’ and ‘Arrested Development’ joined the big players on the list. This was, absolutely marked the new paradigm in TV industries, since an online basis TV never gain recognition from such a well-known award like Emmy before.

The political drama, ‘House of Cards’ successfully stole the spotlight through nine nominations, including the most prestigious one for best drama, best lead actor, and best lead actress. Meanwhile, the revival of the Bluths has caused its lead role, Jason Bateman got a nod for best actor nominee in a comedy series. The series itself has bid three nominations in total.

Women get their spotlight on Netflix's newest prison drama

Obviously, Netflix did it again.  After producing not one, but three hit series in the first half of this year, the streaming sites apparently refuse to catch a break and continue to surprise TV aficionados with its unusual, yet brilliant choice of exclusive shows. And ‘Orange is the New Black’ is definitely one perfect example to prove that point.

Centers on a woman in her 30’s, Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), this Netflix’s newest original offers you a closer look to a life in female’s prison would’ve liked. And surprisingly, it doesn’t only give you a bitter and thrilling sense out of it, but also brings you a package of joy through its touching moments, smart lines, and perfect comic timing in between.

In this prison drama, we get to see Chapman’s life turned upside down as she convicted for a crime she did 10 years ago as a drugs smuggler. Use to have a good life with adorable fiance (played wonderfully by Jason Biggs), Chapman then forced to leave it all behind when she decided to surrender and live behind bars for the next 15 months.

A cop drama with potential political conflicts

Another cop drama? Bear with me people, for this one probably gives you something more than just dead bodies to watch.

The first time I found out about ‘The Bridge’, the only thing that attracted me was the list of the cast. Once I saw Diane Kruger among that list, I got curious and decided to check out this new FX’s show. But pardon me, I just finished watching it last night, so I guess my review was kind of late. Haha.

To be honest, I’m sick and tired of cop drama, so I didn’t have much expectation about this one. I only watched it because I was wondering what kind of show that could’ve gotten Kruger and Demian Bichir to star on it in the first place. I bet they must have seen something on the show, right? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have bothered to play the roles, since they both are big screen’s players.

Meet the game changers of TV industry

Things are only get tougher for TV players to survive these days. With newbies are popping out all over the place to heat up the competition, and viewers get more picky with the shows, the challenge for TV’s execs to grab more audience are getting bigger. Unfortunately, their problem doesn’t seem to wear off anytime soon. In fact, they’d likely to get multiplied in times.

We know that networks and cables are already in a war mode to scramble their cookie which only getting smaller (thanks to all the techie out there for now we could watch video content on various platform). Now, the streaming sites have decided to weigh in to the battle as they’ve been trying their luck on making their own original series. And, the result doesn’t make the conventional TV players really pleased.

Summer shows frenzy

Heyooooo,

I’ve been spending my last two weekends to check on some new shows and finally had the time (or the willing) to write this down. I know there are numbers of summer show, but I didn’t want to bother watching the lousy one. So, I’d give you a review of four summer shows instead, in which I watch only based on my judgment after checking on the net about the storyline, the creator, and the cast for the show. Here they are:
