Three of my anticipated series this year were debuting in the last two weeks. Were they good? No need to wonder, just scroll down to find out.

‘How I Met Your Mother’ series finale: surprisingly, not surprising at all

Satisfying. Exhilarating. Touching. Phenomenon.

Those are the words you won’t hear from me about the series finale of CBS’ long-run sitcom, ‘How I Met Your Mother’.

You may or may not agree with me, but I’m gonna stick with my words here: no creators should treat the fans of a nine-years show the way Carter Bays and Craig Thomas treated ‘HIMYM’ fans.

'House of Cards' season 2: take your time, then you'd be rewarded

After two weeks of binge-watching (pretty slowly, I might add), I finally finished season 2 of Netflix’s political drama, ‘House of Cards’. What took me so long? Well, beside of the fact that I do have tons other good shows I had to keep watching, part of me was kind of wanted this show to stay a bit longer. So I stalled and I stalled until I have no excuses but to watch it ‘till the last episode.

First of all, let me tell you who get lost and wind up in this blog of mine that this article contains major spoilers. So, for you who haven’t done watching the show, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER. You’ve been warned.

Okay, now let’s cut to the chase. Season 2 of ‘House of Cards’ definitely brought up a much more complex and complicated plots to the audience. It takes us into the maze of schemes, political labyrinth, in which we could get lost easily if we weren’t pay attention even if it’s just for a split second.

Syfy's new show seems to have the right recipe to be a big hit

Basically, sci-fi was never been my number one choice for TV shows or even a movie. Judge me all you want, but I always find that genre was the least appealing to watch with the science bull crap and all that. So, that’s why I never have a series with that specific genre in my bucket list. And I never thought I was willing to watch one.

But then, Syfy came up with a new show calls ‘Helix’. And I’m glad that I took a chance on it. Because that was probably the most intense, suspenseful pilot I’ve ever seen since BBC America introduced ‘Orphan Black’ on small screen last year.

'Community' season 5: the quirks are back

For you who’ve been the devoted fans of the Greendale’s gang since season 1, must be agree that season 4 is totally a disaster. It had all the formula to make the sitcom once we loved turned into a cheap, embarrassing comedy. The one season that made the greatness of the whole three seasons before seems to be forgotten. 

But, thank God, season 5 now already came out and it given the fans everything we’ve missed from the good old days of ‘Community’. Of course, I’ve already expect the best from the show since Dan Harmon was back behind the wheels to stir everything up and making it right again, but still the results were beyond what I’ve been hoping for.

On season 4, fans had to bear with dull and repetitive jokes, ridiculous romance relationship between Britta and Troy, and even a silly attempt to hook Abed up with a girl (I mean, c’mon!). And that wasn’t even the worst part.
