PLOT
The first in a planned series of shows detailing the Marvel universe, "Daredevil" follows Matt Murdock, attorney by day and vigilante by night. Blinded in an accident as a child, Murdock uses his heightened senses as Daredevil to fight crime on the streets of New York after the sun goes down. While Murdock's day job requires him to believe in the criminal justice system, his alter ego does not follow suit, leading him to take the law into his own hands to protect his Hell's Kitchen neighborhood and the surrounding communities.



OVERVIEW
Of the many people that I know who watch Daredevil, only few said they actually enjoyed the show from S01E01. Others on the contrary, hated the first 5-6 episodes but absolutely loved the remaining 7 or so. I fall under the latter. The first 5 episodes just focused on the crime lords in Hell's Kitchen and Matt as a poorly disguise vigilante often fighting some petty criminals and street thugs. Those episodes also weirdly centered around Fisk's love life..........who gives a shit about that😐.
The remaining episodes on the other hand show Matt kicking some serious shit out of the agents sent by the crime lords.😎😎
It was revealed later on that he indeed could see but only in flames, in the sense that he see everything with flames around them. Normally, superheroes are envied by viewers but honestly I don't envy this guy. Not being able to see normally but has a better auditory reception, can fight, climb and jump across buildings........no thanks, I love my eyes the way they are. πŸ˜πŸ˜‘
Honestly I still have trouble finishing season 2, because I get distracted by other shows sometimes but all in all its a good show.

PLOT
At 11, Barry Allen's life changed completely when his mother died in a freak accident and his innocent father was convicted of her murder. Now a crime-scene investigator, his dedication to learn the truth about his mother's death drives him to follow up on every new scientific advancement and urban legend. When his latest obsession -- a particle accelerator heralded as a world-changing invention -- causes an explosion, it creates a freak storm and Barry is struck by lightning. He awakes from a coma nine months later with the power of superspeed. When he learns that others who have gained powers use them for evil, he dedicates himself to protecting the innocent, while still trying to solve the older mystery.


OVERVIEW
I feel this show is highly overrated. Don't get me wrong it's a great show but it's no Game of thrones and so doesn't deserve a 98% on rotten tomatoes. When I first started watch the flash, it was amazing from the plot to the sick graphics to the costumes you name it. But after season 1, I began to realize that I was so excited over what is clearly a children's show πŸ˜•πŸ˜•. I hate shows in which the protagonist takes a huge risk knowing it could harm everyone around him but still goes along with it and then no one he/she cares about is affected. Is it too much to ask that one of his teammates at least faints or something.
-In season 1, the reverse flash (Eobard Throne) said that he is Eddy Thorne's descendant. Then how is it that he and the flash are enemies, they are in two DISTANT generations. Or is Barry immortalπŸ€”
-In season 2, Zoom wanted to destroy all the planets in the universeπŸ™„.......... WHY!!! for goodness sake, what does he gain from that?πŸ˜’
-In season 2, Zoom was sending all earth 2 villains to earth 1 so fight Barry. But why were they obeying him though. Couldn't they fight zoom instead of doing his bidding, after all the are also evil.πŸ˜’
-In season 2, since Barry went back in time to save his mother, then he shouldn't have his powers anymore. It was the reverse flash that caused the particle accelerator's destruction and from season 3 trailer he was locked up in a cell.
Is it just me or is the idea of Barry so much wanting to date his (kinda)sister f*#^ing creepy 😰😰. There are so many other girls out there why Iris, the girl he lived under the same roof with, shares a father figure with, shared a bathroom with for 15 years 😷.

Season 3 introduces Kid Flash (Wolly West)

PLOT
MTV teams with super-producers Bob and Harvey Weinstein on a TV series adaptation of the hit horror film franchise. Instigated by a cyberbullying incident that goes viral, a brutal murder in Lakewood stirs memories of a crime spree from the town's past that has haunted some, intrigued others and maybe just spawned a new executioner. At the center of the story is a group of teenagers -- with two old friends struggling to reconnect at its heart -- who, says the network, "become lovers, enemies, suspects, targets and victims of a killer who's out for blood."



OVERVIEW
To really understand this overview please checkout the earlier one on teen wolf.
MTV is the absolute worst when it come to series, I think they should just stick to their award and reality shows πŸ˜’. As if Teen wolf wasn't clichΓ© enough, here comes scream which is even worse. A series spin-off from the successful scream movies based in a high school were there is a serial killer going around murdering students.
What are the odds that the mother and daughter are undergoing the same fate. Emma (the daughter) was in a relationship with Will but broke up with him when she discovered that he slept with one of their mutual friends. In this moment of weakness  she slept with someone else.
Now look at the mothers story, 
She was in a relationship with Emma's dad but broke up with him when she discovered that he slept with one of their mutual friends. In this moment of weakness  she slept with someone else. But what was different was that she got pregnant and gave birth to the child that would grow up to kill them all. πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”
Scream absolutely copied their character roles from Teen wolf, 
Noah = Stiles (socially awkward)
Brooke = Lydia (the hot chick)
Emma = Scott (the boy scout) (note that both their fathers are absent)
Jake = Jackson (likes the hot chick, dislikes the rest of the group)
Emma's mother = Scott's mother (both work in the institution where they get news on the killer)
Audrey = Allison (badass wannabe)
Kieran's father = Stiles' father (police officers who are too involved in the case)
There are still more that I just haven't figured out yet.

PLOT
When presumed-dead billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns home to Starling City after five years stranded on a remote island in the Pacific, he hides the ways the experience has changed him. As he reconnects with those closest to him, including his sister, Thea, Oliver appears to be the same wealthy, carefree bachelor they've always known. At night, flanked by his devoted friend, Diggle, Oliver uses his secret persona -- that of a vigilante -- to right societal wrongs and transform the city to its former glory.


OVERVIEW 
DC is great at making successful series, we've seen so from Gotham, The flash, Smallville etc. Arrow is also one to add to that list of being successful although they have so many holes in their storyline. They try to cover up these mistakes but they do so in such a manner that is so obvious to the viewers. 
I have a question for the directors of DC, Berry Allen went to the past to save his mother causing the entire timeline he was previously living in to be erased (we saw that in the flash season 3 trailer), does it also affect Arrow because they often crossover? If it doesn't then we'd be seeing the current Star city interacting with the alternate timeline Central city.........confusing right? 😰😰
Oliver Queen action as the vigilante was once justified because he was a young billionaire and so didn't need to work a day in his life for money, but now he is BROKE!! as shit, why the hell isn't he rather looking for a paying job. Felicity may have been funding him for his fruitless campaign when they were engaged since she acquired the head seat at Palmer tech. But now she has been impeached from the board so how is Oliver still getting money for all his vigilante equipment. πŸ˜’πŸ˜’ These are little things they should consider.
Also there was a point in the story where Oliver called on a magician to help heal Sarah after she was reborn from the Lazarus pit. That part that really amazed me was that he summoned the magician with a tattoo he was given back on the island, check the previous episodes of Arrow that tattoo was nowhere on his body πŸ€”πŸ€”
In season 4, I still don't understand why Damian dark wanted to destroy everything πŸ˜•......like TF. He was going to launch missiles everywhere all in the name of cleansing the earth (why are all villains psychopaths nowadays). By doing so would he have died along with the rest of the world because he wasn't under the dome when the countdown began. And how convenient is it that while Dark wanted to destroy the earth so did Zoom in The flash 😢😢
In season 3, when the league of assassins came to Star city and started destroying stuff, Arrow's gang (Speedy, Black canary, Diggle) were all fighting and defeating them. HOW!!!! The league of assassins was where Sarah was trained to fight, so are you telling me that Diggle, Black canary or Speedy (even all together) would ever defeat Sarah πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’.

PLOT

The girls of Kappa Tau have left the hallowed halls of Wallace University behind in favor of another institution, this one with a medical bent. Having moved past the events at their sorority house, the remaining Chanels and Zayday have begun training to be physicians in a hospital recently acquired by Cathy Munsch, their former dean, where they are joined by Chad Radwell, and a couple handsome new faces -- secretive head surgeon Dr. Brock Holt and Dr. Cassidy Cascade, who suffers from a strange medical condition. As strange things start happening around the hospital, the former Wallace students reunite with intrepid investigator Denise Hemphill.

OVERVIEW
With a perfect blend of horror and comedy, this was the best series I started watching this year. It's a known fact that nothing is new in hollywood anymore, directors nowadays just reboot long dead franchises and innovate them to suite today's viewers. But the directors of scream queens sought to break the cycle and so went on to make a comedic horror series. It features the plot of a slasher movie and also that of a college teen movieπŸ‘ŒπŸ½. 
It so funny how some of the girls are named after their leader, Chanel. They go by the names Chanel 2, Chanel 3, Chanel 4 and so on. And these aren't just nicknames, they are referred to by that name by the all the students, teachers, dean, even their parents and the court of law πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

At the end of season 1, the Chanels were all sent to a psychiatric home after being framed for murder. FOX network soon approved a season 2 of the show. In this one, more big names in Hollywood have been cast to play along with Glen Powell, Keke Palmer, Emma Roberts and the other Chanels. We would see appearances from Taylor Lautner, Colton Haynes (Jackson from Teen wolf and Arsenal from Arrow) and others who would be playing surgeons.
Of all the series which are to be release later on this year I'm most hyped for this.

Season 2 comes out September 20,2016 😁😁
