 Hello kids. I decided to do another one of these TV review shows because I enjoyed doing that last one so much In fact, I'm gonna make kind of a series out of this. Here's the premise. I'm gonna look up Lists of science fiction TV shows that I haven't seen before. I'm not gonna know anything about them going in I'm not gonna read anything about them. I'll watch the first episode and if I like it I'll watch more and if not, I'll give the thumbs down and I'll tell you why Now for this first episode. I've put together a list of six TV shows that I had never seen before and they were all duds and Here's why number one the messengers This is the worst kind of Christian propaganda Trying to disguise itself as science fiction entertainment. It is about the rapture. It is crap Stay the hell away from it Number two the strain. I can sum this up in four words Dracula on a plane. I Can tell you exactly how this is gonna go It's gonna be about hordes of zombies just like the walking dead except they'll be controlled by Dracula the first episode was awful and I say don't bother Number three residue. I did not like this one at all. It started with a Gigantic explosion happening at an underground nightclub in the middle of London The government cordoned off a large section of the center of the city and put plastic over all the buildings and told everybody that there was Contamination there's a photographer who lives in the area who was taking pictures of people who live nearby the Contaminated area and she started seeing what looked like ghosts in her pictures. I never accepted any of it There was a lot of bad acting. It was way overblown took itself way too seriously. I didn't like it at all That's another thumbs down Number four the 100 this one's been around for a while. I had not seen it I had seen people mention it online a couple of times didn't know what it was. I Went and got the first episode and it is bad. It is really bad. The premise is That earth has been contaminated by radiation for 100 years maybe 200 years and the last survivors of humanity have been living in a giant space station Up in orbit. The the first episode starts with a hundred kids in a landing module being ejected from the space station The government has told everybody that these kids were delinquents that they were in jail and their sentence was to be sent down to earth but actually They want to use these kids as guinea pigs to see if the earth is actually habitable, but also because The space station is really old and the life support system isn't working very well anymore And there are dwindling Supplies of renewable oxygen so kicking a hundred people off the station actually extends everyone else's lives it The the kids land the ship is damaged when it lands. So there's no communication They're stuck on the surface of the earth alone and turns out Earth isn't really uninhabited. It sounds kind of interesting But man is this not a good show terrible terrible acting really bad script every actor and actress in the show Just looked way too healthy and way too pretty They all had great hair and great clothes and the acting was right out of the worst kind of daytime soap opera Here's a scene that for me summarizes the show Yeah, there you have it if you watch this you're just gonna get more of the same this is bad stuff Okay, number five the last ship. This was one that I'd never heard of I turned it on had no idea what I was gonna See during the opening credits I see produced by Michael Bay and So I said, uh-huh, okay. I know exactly what I'm about to see I I could predict scene for scene almost line for line what I was going to see for the next hour There's all the cliche Michael Bay characters There's this dashing hard of stone navy captain who is escorting a beautiful yet unexplainably angry and uncooperative Scientist woman he would kick her right off his ship in a second if he wasn't under secret orders direct from the White House But you can tell they're secretly hot for each other. It's very pro military. It's very patriotic. It's very Christian There's a lot of gunplay It is Michael Bay formula Right down the line and it is junk Plus, there's Adam Baldwin. So No Number six the whispers Okay, here's the thing a long-lost fighter plane is Found in a remote desert on the opposite of the world from where it should be there are children who are seeing and talking to Invisible imaginary friends electrical power is blinking off and on unexplainably Children's toys are turning on spontaneously and rolling across the floor with flashing lights and making noise Does this sound like Spielberg? Cuz it is does it sound like the same thing he's been doing Since 1978 with close encounters of the third kind cuz it is Except this time there's an FBI agent. So, yeah No Okay, so that's six shows and six thumbs down next episode. I'll have another Five or six and I'll have fun watching them. I'll have fun telling you about them.
