Archer (2009)
simply brilliant
This is one of those shows which first seem a little silly but after some time you cannot get enough of it. It's running gags like "phrasing" and "Danger zone",these brilliantly executed characters with top notch voice actors and a clean art style that make up the essence of the show. Unlike most cartoons the story appears to be actually moving forward to some extend, keeping the audience from becoming tired of it. Archer deals with death, drug abuse, slavery (yes, i mean you woodhouse) and other addictions in a refreshing, humorous way without belittling the topic. Every episode finds a new, mostly completely senseless situation to put the characters in it's almost as if the writers cannot run out of ideas. It is amazing to see how a show can stay true to itself even after running as long as Archer has. Comedy mostly emerges put of the situations instead of some overused jokes. This show had a very clear adult target audience and I would not recommend watching it with your family but if you are looking for a quick way to better your mood this is the best choice and it saddens me that Archer does not receive as much attention as other cartoons do.
Ascension (2014)
Please don't let it end here.
I enjoyed watching this. I loved the twists and how everything was not just black and white , evil and good but had so many shades and sides to it. It had some very strong characters with a good performance of the actors. The story surprisingly believable and it had a clear and explainable setting. The audience is not forced on a certain opinion or view point of what is going on and many things I normally wouldn't pay a lot of attention to actually kept me on the edge of my seat. It's one of those shows, that even if is not your cup of tea when you watch the ending of an episode you will want to watch the next one. It is also very easy on the eyes, be that because of the actors or the 50 shades of space. I really liked the interior of the ship which is what puts me off in a lot of sci-fi series because they can appear very monotonous. Personally I keep my fingers crossed it won't get canceled and will be given the chance to grab the attention of a wider audience with new episodes. Highly recommended and if you don't like it, well it's just a mini series. It won't take too much of your time.
The 100 (2014)
Not bad but too many holes
Well sure, it's one of those teenage apocalyptic dramas that have been trending recently. But at least story wise they had somewhat of an excuse as to why these young adults are having more problems than the average puberty. And to be fair, they didn't kill off the adults and not all of them are completely evil. But it is still very cliché to make a teenage audience watch a show by telling them the parents are the evil guys. Otherwise I'd say the dialogs are a bit on the predictable side and it always amazes me how everyone manages to have some pretty extravagant hair styles ,clothes, and sometimes even make up. It's also hard not to facepalm your brains out from some of their Bull**** scientific explanations. Or the fact that within a hundred years there appear to have developed a bunch of new societies on the planet with different languages and traditions and S*** Still, i must admit i like watching the show. A few characters and plot twists actually kept me focused on the screen and the scenery is just drop dead gorgeous. What can I say I'm a sucker for strong female protagonists and anything involving starting a civilization from scratch. Also Lesbian bonus! So to everyone thinking about starting to watch the series: If you are looking for some deep, meaningful story to get you all excited, you should probably look elsewhere. But it's a fast-moving show with easy on the eyes, decent actors.
