Kelson Reviews TV
- Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog A campy take on the super-hero genre, from the point of view of a D-list villain trying to make it to the big leagues.
- Flash Forward (TV Pilot) ★★★★★ The first episode of Flash Forward is one of the best-constructed pilot episodes I've seen in a long time, especially of an arc-driven series.
- The Sandman - Season One ★★★★★ The Sandman has been brought to life. And it's amazing.
- Star Trek: Discovery - Season 1 ★★★★☆ Star Trek with the pace of Farscape, weaving through existing lore and focused on one crew member's quest for redemption.
- Star Trek: Discovery - Season 2 ★★★☆☆ The stand-alone episodes are good, and the Burnham/Spock family dynamics, but the main arc gets really frustrating in the second half.
- Star Trek: Discovery - Season 3 ★★★★☆ I liked Season 3 a lot better than season 2. It finally got to be its own Trek. And they did some really interesting things with the future of the 'verse and how the Discovery crew adapted to it.
- Star Trek: Lower Decks ★★★★☆ Hilarious self-parody of TNG-era Star Trek. Funny on its own, but even better if you know the shows it's riffing on.
- Star Trek: Picard - Season One ★★★☆☆ I have mixed feelings about the first season of Picard.
- Star Trek: Picard - Season Three ★★☆☆☆ If season one was like The Last Jedi, this is The Rise of Skywalker, complete with gratuitously resurrected villains, young characters freaking out about their genetics, a family/found family theme that only sort of makes sense, and a galactic-level threat that can only be defeated by taking out that one resurrected villain.
- Star Trek: Picard - Season Two ★★★☆☆ Hard to pin down, with a weird start, then a few good time travel episodes, before throwing in not just the kitchen sink but everything in the sink.
- Star Wars: Andor - Season One ★★★★☆ A more serious take on *Star Wars*, with a bit more personal scope showing how oppression grinds people down, and what sacrifices rebellion can require.
- Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett ★★★☆☆ The flashbacks were great! But I couldn't get into the present-day story.
