Super Short Reviews Summer / Fall TV 2019 part one:
Pennywoth (Epix) – Paloma Faith , snippy dialogue, alt DC Universe London post WWII. Alfred before he was Batman’s Alfred. Big thumbs up from me but will definitely connect more with BBC fans than superhero fans.
Alta Mar (Netflix) – Spain. Gorgeous period drama / murder mystery. Beautiful sets, shots, costumes, lighting. Upstairs Downstairs meets Agatha Christie on a cruise ship on the high seas.
Sherman’s Showcase (IFC) – Super duper silly fun. Same guy that did South Side on Comedy Central (Bashir Salahuddin.) Fake documentary of a fake variety show, poking fun and celebrating pop culture / history and shows like Soul Train. Great guest stars.
Bulletproof (CW) – 2 Street cops “fight crime” in London’s east end. Originally aired in UK 2018. No clue why the CW thought this was a good fit for their brand as a summer show.
I Ship It (CW Seed / CW) – Originally aired on the CW Seed whatever that is? If you blinked you missed it. Weird mash up of comedy, musical comedy, fan fiction, and sort of making fun of the shows that are really on the CW. I like anything that makes fun of Hollywood, so I liked this.
Two Sentence Horror Stories (CW) – Again, if you blinked you missed it. Except in this case you didn’t miss anything.
The Terror Infamy (AMC) – You don’t even need evil spirits when the story involves executive order 9066 … but then again im not sure if these spirits are evil or if they’re just … NO SPOILERS!! Watch it watch it watch it.
David Makes Man (OWN) – Tough to watch due to raw honesty. How do we break the cycle of poverty? Akili McDowell is wonderful in his portrayal of David. OWN is finally becoming a real network.
Carnival Row (Amazon) – If Ripper Street had fairies (and other magical beings) – binged it in 3 nights. Nice metaphors for real life topics if you look for them... or don’t and just enjoy a good British alt period drama.
AHS: 1984 (FX) – I didn’t live in LA in 1984 but I bet it was exactly like this... well minus the serial killers (yes there’s more than one.) Like most seasons of AHS I have a blast with the first few episodes – this time it’s 80s references and creepy campground – but after the third week it just seems like a really long drawn out kaleidoscope of horror movies i’ve already seen.
All Rise (CBS) – America loves an underdog, so settle in to the couch for this comfy Monday night broadcast, and join the fabulous Simone Missick as she navigates her first year of being a judge. And Im sure this is exactly what being a judge in LA is like, right?
Emergence (ABC) – Unlike other supernatural tinged shows, when you sit around trying to figure out the WHAT – and how long thats going to take – this show solves the mystery by episode four, so now you have to decide if you care enough about the WHY. Either way, Allison Tolman is the bomb so I hope the writers have a few more tricks up their sleeves.
Prodigal Son (Fox) – The lead dude (Tom Payne) is appropriately super weird, and Michael Sheen as his father is appropriately gleeful in his manipulation / murder revelry, and Lou Diamond Philips is appropriately level headed (and handsome) as the coach of this oddball NY police team. Im not sure how this will be able to develop too much more, but its the network hit of the Fall.
Sunnyside (NBC) – Already cancelled! Kal Penn is the perfect guy to make a comedy about American politics / history but something about this show didn’t gel. And it wasn’t the characters cuz the actors were great – especially Diana Maria Riva.
NOT REVIEWED:
Designated Survivor: 60 Days (Netflix)
The Rook (Starz)
Bankok Love Stories (Netflix)
Muder in the Bayou (Showtime)
Room 104 (HBO)
First Wives Club (BET +)
Bigger (BET +)
Godfather of Harlem (Epix)
Back to Life (Showtime)
Veronica Mars (Hulu) – This is not a new show.
Press (PBS) – UK. I wandered out of the room and forgot it was on – thats how much I was interested.

It seems today, more than ever, there is mounting pressure on our young people to sever the ties to their youth and fold into a frame that society accepts, way beyond their years. Take the way Akili McDowell reflects on his lessons from @DavidMakesMan, embarking on his own journey into adulthood and continuing to fill in his flourishing filmography in our latest feature.
Meet Akili.
