The whole season was a bit hazy for me. This is usually what happens in the season-by-season format of Western shows, when minor storylines start to be fleshed out and the story has to spread its attention over more topics. That being said I thought the end of this season was more intriguing than the end of the last season, but that’s also because it was more of an unfinished cliffhanger. But at the very least, I was more excited to watch season 4 than I was season 3. I’d say that the writing in season 3 was overall a bit better than season 2 but not as good as season 1.

This was great, I really enjoyed this first season of the Boys. Non stop moving plot with some interesting and relevant themes. I will definitely be watching the next season.

This was a documentary about the abuse that occurred on the sets of Nickelodeon kids’ shows. It’d blown up recently and that was how I heard about it. I thought it was a decent documentary that reminded us both of how vulnerable kids are when you put them in positions of employment, and also the importance of tone at the top and top executives in setting an example.

Extremely adorable documentary!! I'm just coming off of the famed BBC Earth and Frozen Planet documentaries and I felt that the quality of this documentary was on par with those. Would definitely recommend this documentary for those who like nature documentaries.

This was a pretty short documentary series that explored the way life developed from cells to the way that we are now. I liked it, I thought it was pretty interesting, and its length made it an easy binge.

Once again, another BBC nature documentary that did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this.

This second season was more of a development arc for our main characters and less dramatic than last season. Nonetheless I still couldn't stop watching and I do think the characters go through necessary changes.

I think the second season of HBO Rome was a bit messy compared to the first season. I had heard that this show was supposed to be longer, but due to budget reasons was cut short, and as a result, several seasons’ worth of events was fit into one.

Admittedly, I lost interest in the show about halfway through. I felt that the show was focusing on stories that were not properly developed. I understood the logic behind the decisions the characters made, but I just didn’t feel invested in them as I had in the first season, and this was likely due to the condensed timeline.

I probably wouldn’t say that the second season was exactly good (especially compared to the first season), but it is only ten episodes, so I can see most people watching this season for completion's sake. And while the story wasn't my favourite, it was still a passable show with nice visuals.

I'll be honest, I didn't like this season very much. What drew me into the show in season 1 was how tech played such a big role in contextualizing the characters' relationships with one another. However, by season 4, tech was in the background, and the show tried to build its story around its character, which I was not as interested in compared how they engaged with tech.

Anyway, I would probably recommend season 1, but not anything further than that. The other seasons aren't terribad, but they definitely don't measure up to season 1 in my opinion.

I was kind of disappointed by this season because I was expecting it to be better than last season. In terms of the story, I thought season 1 was more unique and compelling than season 2.
