Themed in the context of this site means having an LBGTQ(whatever other letters we're tagging onto that now) theme in it.

Non-themed are movies without any of those elements present in the story.

Overall, Sense8 but lately The Haunting of Hill House which I hadn't expected to appreciate nearly was much as I did.

Penny Dreadful, hands down.
Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and now Haunting of Hill House if Netflix counts.  ~R.

I'd gotten a little tired of the series, but I'm hooked (enough) again.

It's been consistent, I'll give it that.  The Thinker was a tough antagonist to try on-screen, so maybe that was some of the trouble last season.  They underplayed The Engineer, as far as I was concerned, and Kim Englebrecht is a damned fine actor.  Hope she's around again.

With Cicada, they're providing just enough back-story tease instead of endless exposition clips as they did with The Thinker.  Chris Klein is pulling it off, so far - and I hadn't really thought about him playing the menacing revenger type.

Several of the younger actors are coming more into their own.  Candice Patton, in particular, I feel deserves recognition for growth in her craft.  Out of the gate, she seemed almost out of place.  Maybe some of it was the writing, but her character seemed stiff early on.  Forced in some places and either/or in others as if she had two modes:  wide-eyed horror and wide-eyed awe.  Definitely more range and depth now.

I'll stick with it.  ~R.

I tried Agents, but couldn't stay with it - so Inhumans was without background for me, mostly.

I appreciated what it was trying to do.  Anything approaching justice effects-wise would likely have dwarfed any budget except for productions on par with Game of Thrones, so I felt I understood what they did and why.

But the writing.  Good grief.  I know it's a comics series.  I don't expect something on the level of Penny Dreadful, but wow…

It's a shame, too, because the actors are clearly of much higher caliber than the writing and the production.  Iwan Rheon was a SCREAM in "Vicious" and I don't know that Anson Mount has ever done anything half-way.  Serinda Swan can be remarkable, given decent material and direction.

As much as I wanted to see another season, I can see how it didn't justify the expense.  ~R.

The season has been a little unevenly paced, but I have enjoyed it more than I would have expected.

Also - bringing back earlier seasons has been done REALLY well.  If you missed Jessica Lange, she's back.  (-:

The warlocks seem over-camp, but it's likely intentional.  ~R.

I so wanted to love Luke Cage the way that I did Jessica Jones, so I had hopes that The Defenders might improve (meaning correct, from my view) the stuff that so disappointed me and to a degree, it did.

Danny Rand/The Iron Fist was somewhat redeemed, too, for me.  Jessica and Luke side-eye and having none of Danny's "whatever of Shou-Lao" was just the right way to do that without being obvious.

The Hand, though.  Wow.  The Hand ruins all of these in the same way that Trish Walker's arc is damaging to the Jessica Jones story.  There is tremendous potential in both - and nothing meant against the actors, it's the writing.  Wai Ching Ho is masterful and quite possibly perfect as Madam Gao.  I will watch her in anything after seeing her in these.  Rachael Taylor does a commendable job, but the material just isn't worth the effort.  Maybe Hellcat will be beter, if they do that.

I'll keep watching because when it's good, it's wonderful (Jessica Jones S1 and S2 right up to the end or Daredevil S1).

I so wanted to love the show and part of me does, but the treatment of the companions has been a deal-breaker for me.

Nearly every companion arc ends horribly and to me, for no other reason than gratification of the show-runner.  Rose is trapped, Donna had entire years of her life erased, Amy and Rory were sacrificed, Clara as well (essentially - but definitely Danny, now that I think about that arc), and also Bill.  Martha somehow managed to survive and then there's Jack, but Jack was immortal before he met The Doctor.  Just… sours the rest of it for me.

Perhaps 13 will be better.
