Designated survivor s01e01-04*' (OK, so this is another mass appeal drama (...'stupid people show'..) which has to be understandable by all but makes it pandering and sometimes insulting to regular viewers' intelligence. But, this has a good concept and there's enough there to ignore some of the tropey and cringey bits. Actually looking forward to where this is going.)
Dragon ball super s01e87*'

Have I got news for you s53e01**
Doctor Who s10e01-02**

17/04/21

Broadchurch s03e07-08** (this was good... a formulaic seeing as its the same ones they used in the first two seasons (esp season 1).. which leads to a slightly anti-climatic end... also there's some really cringey tv tropes in this season, they're better than that)
Boruto s01e03*

Broadchurch s03e01-02** (Apart from the main story, there's a definite anti-millennial message in these two episodes - 'every' young person is seen as cold, an inconvenience, suspicious and/or spoilt. Fear of the new? Actual ageist undertones - I guess its to show how 'backward' the west country is, but that's blatant stereotyping too.)
Trial and error s01e12-13**'
Brooklyn nine nine s04e14*
The middle s08e20*
Brockmire s01e01-03** (very good, its that baseball announcer from the Simpsons, but with much darker comedy)

17/04/17

Last week tonight with John Oliver s04e09**
Samurai Jack s05e05**
Iron fist s01e06-13*' (it was ok - relationships were all over the place, and people were far too accepting of dead people coming to life - not the best netflix marvel tie, but not that bad either)

17/04/15

Logan (2017)*' (an OK end to the Wolverine and Prof X story, very violent, but as it should be)
Iron fist s01e01-05*' (so, it turns out Iron Fist is blonde with green eyes, so not sure on the whole racist thing. But the story has a lot of short comings, within the space of an episode, his childhood friend has ordered his murder then in a few days he sues him for everything, then they become best mates... hmm)

17/04/14

Trial and error s01e09-10**' (best comedy this season so far, R&M doesn't count)
Archer s08e02**
The detour s02e10-12*'

2017-04-12

17/04/11

Boruto s01e01* (I know its got extra bits in the title, but somewhat ironically the message of this show was to get out of Naruto's shadow, but its right there in the title - 'Boruto:Naruto next generation'. The show is basically the same Naruto with no element of danger yet.)
The middle s08e19*
The Mick s01e15*'
Brooklyn nine nine s04e13'
The detour s02e08-09*'
