Geekly Weekly TV Rankings ( for new)(PS: There will be Spoilers)(PPS: I live tweet shows on twitter, but I try to keep those spoiler-lite for the important spoilers @AndrewGeczy)
  1. Doom Patrol *****Amazing episode of Doom Patrol this week. This show is only on its third episode, and it's so funny and so weird, and so off the deep end. It's amazing. This show and Deadly Class are without a doubt the two weirdest best shows on TV. There's just too much in this episode that I liked for me to even point things out. So many perfect lines, the comedic timing is just so on point. And the fight scene with Robotman! Oh my god he literally tears a person in half, and then beats another person with the first person's lower torso. That is hard as fuck. This show gets all the glory. This show is god. If you're not watching, there's something wrong with you. Like you don't like fun, or something. I guess the one weakness, IMO, is still Cyborg. Vic had some good moments, but he still looks like he's wearing plastic on his face. Also I guess his father is bipolar? Goes from being like "No you can't have the jet, and how dare you even presume that you could." and then nothing happens between them and his father calls back a day later "I sent you the jet! Silly you, why didn't you think of asking for a jet? You know your dad is always here to bail you out." What! But! Huh???
  2. ➤The Orville *****Wow. That space battle was insane. That must be the largest space battle we have ever seen on TV. That was Revenge of the Sith level shit. I can't even imagine how expensive it was, but damn it was good. It doesn't really matter about the flaws in this episode or the show in general. When you pull of a space battle that big and that flawlessly, you deserve yourself five stars. Good work, special effects team. If you only watch one episode of this show, do yourself a favor and watch this one. You don't even need the others.
  3. ➤Brooklyn Nine Nine ****1/2Fun episode this week. There was a strong focus on Amy, who is definitely one of my favourite characters so I really enjoyed it. She really gets a chance to grow as a character, and explore her past and her motivations. I really liked it. The complicated topic of female harassment was dealt with intelligence and subtlety. I enjoyed it. The B story with Holt and his old nemesis wasn't nearly as strong, but it all paid off at the end with the stick up and the guy can't even hear anything he's saying cause he's so old.
  4. Gotham ***1/2It was an alright episode of Gotham. They really shocked me with the ventrilliquist. I legitimately did not see that coming. Too bad they killed him in the same episode they created him. Same with Jane Doe, they introduced tons of iconic villains this episode only to make sure to ruin their origin forever. Thanks a lot Gotham. This episode would have scored much higher were it not for that. Penguin and Riddler was fun though. So at least there was that.
  5. ➤ The Goldbergs ***It was a fine episode of the Goldbergs this week. The plotline with the mom was tired and played out and there wasn't much to the Gleb storyline either. It wasn't particularly funny, nor did it seem to go anywhere. There were parts that made me laugh, some great laugh out loud moments, but the episode as a whole was middling. The individual moments of gold can't make up for the mediocre whole.
  6. Riverdale **1/2This episode was a total bore. The most interesting part was Jelly Bean's one line about coffee, and Josie's rendition of "We don't need another hero!" You're right, Riverdale, I would rather be watching a Mad Max movie right now. Veronica's storyline with her father continued to go nowhere and spin its wheels as usual. Nothing changes between them. Archie is a moron and hothead again for no reason and almost gets himself killed. Jughead meh. Couldn't care less about the Serpents. Oh and Betty's mom still continues to make no sense how insane they are all being. Ugh. This show.
