Catch-22: The latest adaptation of Joseph Heller's classic novel had it's run on Hulu over a month ago but so far, Channel 4 have aired the first two episodes of this six part series and it's been rather enjoyable. Christopher Abbott has been a good take on Yossarian, a man desperate to get out of his missions while backed up with the likes of George Clooney, Kyle Chandler, Hugh Laurie and Lewis Pullman in various roles. The pacing has been decent enough with a few of the novel's more sexist material toned down a little bit for this current take. It'll be interesting to see how the remaining four episodes for this miniseries play out.
Jessica Jones: We're into final season territory and this really does mark the end of Netflix's era with Marvel property but there's always Disney+ for your next Marvel streaming fix in the next couple of months. The first four episodes of this show's third season still suffers from slow pacing and the most frustrating character transition for Trish as well as Malcolm seeming a bit aimless in his new job but on the other hand, both Jessica and Hogarth are getting love interests, Erik is one of the better male additions to the show with his unique ability and I'm hoping the Foolkiller main baddie will be a lot better than what we got last season. Saying that though, pick up the pace, show.
Swamp Thing: Following the announcement of the show's cancellation after it's first episode, I did wonder if I should've bothered continuing with the show. Right now, I'm glad I have as the main cast have been great and along with our titular creature the show has managed to introduce the likes of Jason Woodrue, Madame Xanadu, Blue Devil and Phantom Stranger with relative ease while upping the main mystery, making the supporting characters interesting enough, using flashbacks wisely and building the connection between Abby and Alec rather well. It's just a shame that once the remaining five episodes have aired, that's our lot with this one.
The Good Place: Recently it was confirmed that this show's upcoming fourth season will be it's last one. I however, have only just begun to watch the second season on E4 and the game has certainly been changed up a bit with Michael forced to work with the four people he has enjoyed torturing in order to save himself from a worse fate than death. I do like that the show didn't waste too much in having Eleanor and company figure out again what was happening to them while Vicky managed to usurp Michael for power over the Bad Place. It'll be fun to see how this grudging alliance with Michael and Eleanor/Tahani/Chidi/Jason over the remaining episodes of the season.
