The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Defiance, Season 2 (2014)

Starring: Julie Benz, Grant Bowler, Jaime Murray, Tony Curran, Stephanie Leonidas, Graham Greene, Nicole Munoz, Jesse Rath, Trenna Keating

Premise:
In the future, aliens live side by side with humans on a new, terraformed Earth.

Season two season sees ex-Lawkeeper Nolan and his daughter Irisa return to Defiance because a strange force is drawing her there, Amanda is grieving for her sister's death, Datak and Stahma have power issues on who is running the family business, and a new Mayor goes to bizarre lengths trying to win over Amanda.

My Take:
This season gets a little darker than the first. At times it feels rushed in the story telling, especially the final few episodes to complete the season arc. There is not a good base for it's mythology. However, this still remains an interesting show and concept. It just needs a few kinks worked out in order to be must watch TV.

Rating: In the middle
