Castaways (2018)
Backstory... sigh...
This could have been such a cool show. Stop with the back story and all the pity party ... you don't watch TV to feel sorry for people... you watch it for entertainment, to learn, or to even be inspired... but all of these people and their problems, dude, it is like I am having to listen to their therapy sessions... who would think that is entertaining? You need to hide the cameras so the contestants are more "themselves," ... stop creating/adding drama from back story, have contestants with differing personalities not just ones that want to feel sorry for themselves, and let's watch them explore the island and CONQUER. Put cameras on their heads... turn them lose. The show is far too manufactured to be fully embraced, or to flow. Hey, why not hide a flag somewhere on the island to capture the flag, play a long game of laser tag... anything is better than just watching people sit around and mope... this show lacks creativity. Next time, get me involved. I can make you some money - my mind never quits. Seriously, this could have been an EPIC show. If you are this hard up, contact me, I will give you some ideas that will make you some bank.
Hunters (2016)
What I think - Julian McMahon
Hunters 1st episode had some very choppy writing. I almost turned it off, but then Julian McMahon showed up again and added the needed energy and interest that the episode lacked. I hope they give us a chance to learn more about the PTSD guy, besides just being a broken mess. His wife seemed to be pretty boring for all the fuss. Either the actress lacks the needed charisma for the part, or the writers didn't give us any insight into her character to care whether or not she was missing. Maybe the script moved too fast? I am not sure, but seems the writers goofed here. I give it a 6 because Julian McMahon rocked and because it has an interesting plot, which left me curious. I hope the writers get it together.
Into the Badlands (2015)
Awesome Surprise
I am a Walking Dead fan and I was so mad they were forcing me to watch this show... but I ended up watching it. Now, I like it even MORE than the Walking Dead. Fast moving plot, a ton of action, great characters, and much mystery. This show is going to grow and be a ratings buster, guaranteed. If you want a real story, mixed in with action, this is your story. I am also female, one of my fears is that it would be useless, meaningless action... that is NOT the case. The action actually moves the story further and includes the story... it is not separated like TWD will do once in a while. This is great. Please try it! If AMC does not pick up a second season, please let some other channel pick it up. It will be a ratings giant, I promise.
