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.

Some shows made an unforgettable exit this year

Christmas is coming and we have to say good bye for a while to some of the shows we love. The good thing (or bad?) is most of the shows I watched leave with a pretty explosive cliffhanger this year. Some made me literally drop my jaw in the end, and some just simply broke my heart. Seriously, they’ve really given me a hard time to move on. So, I’m hoping by writing this down, it will help me coping with all the feelings they left me.

Both new series and returning series have done a great job to wrap their story before this year end, in my opinion. The tension was keep climbing towards the midseason finale (or season finale for cable’s series) and then bombed the audience with things they had never see coming. Well done.

For me, some shows have outperformed the others on the end of this year by the way they wrapped things up. Not all of it was satisfying, yet it was the right thing to do. Here are some shows of which I think have made the most mind-blowing exit this year:

New sitcom reviews: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

It’s been a month since the big waves of new TV shows came up and made us torn between work and binge-watching (at least for me). And sadly, I could say that most of those shows are really piece of crap, the one that’d make you yell “bring back my precious 30 minutes!” thing. Even when I’ve set myself to only watch couples of shows that I’ve cautiously considered to be worth-watching, I still found a big disappointment in my own choices.

As a comedy fan, it’s hurtful for me to say that we can’t expect much of laughter this year. From numerous new sitcoms of which cables and broadcast have brought up, only two shows that really meet up my expectation. They are ‘Brooklyn Nine Nine’ and ‘Hello Ladies’. Those two are shining and flying far above other contenders so far.

Anyhow, here’s my very own judgment on some new sitcoms after watching 2-3 first episodes.
