Travers, Drew (TTh) Paradise PD 100
Animated series about bad cops. Not bad as in corrupt, bad as in under-performing. They aren't first responders, they are the worst responders. It appears to be very similar to another show that i know of, Brickleberry. I am curious to see what other similarities there are to be found.

Martinez, Melody (TTh): How Did This Get Made? 100
Have you ever seen a movie that was so bad you had to ask yourself, your friends, or even your TV what it is you just watched? If so, then Earwolf's "How Did This Get Made?" is the podcast series for you. Starring comedians Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, June DIane Raphael, and featuring many guest stars, this series gives in-depth reactions, factoids, and even second opinion reviews about movies that were poorly received by critics and movie goers alike. Critiquing titles that include, but are not limited to, The Room, Sharknado, and most recently, The Meg, the hosts give their honest opinions often in front of a live audience. If you've ever been interested in comedy, film, and/or Nicolas Cage movies, I highly recommend this podcast series. You can find many of the episodes for free on Apple Podcasts, Youtube, Earwolf, and Stitcher. Unfortunately, if you want to listen to any other episodes not included in the free episodes, you may want to subscribe to Stitcher premium.

Weiss, Forrest (TTh) Manhunt 100
'Manhunt' on Netflix is all-in-all captivating. The series walks through the FBI's investigation of the UNA-Bomber and centers itself on the profiler and the UNA-Bomber. Showing how the bombs were made, how they were shipped, and just how incredibly smart the UNA-Bomber was. It almost makes you feel bad for the UNA-Bomber (yes even though he is insane) as you begin to learn about the UNA-Bombers upbringing and his college years. I find interest in psychological shows and this one had everything I needed to enjoy my genre. I highly recommend taking a weekend to watch this 1 season, series as I do not think you will regret it.

Wehring, Megan (MW) The Paradise 100
The Paradise is a British television series that is based around a young woman from Peebles, Scotland, who moves in with her uncle to help him with his struggling dress shop. She soon takes another job across the street at the massive department store, the Paradise, where she becomes the rising star in sales. The show focuses on the classic rags to riches storyline, but with a nineteenth century twist with the role of women in the workplace. Also, a relationship between employer and employee is present. The young woman, Denise, is portrayed by Joanna Vanderham and Emun Elliott plays the owner of the store, John Moray. The series is co-produced by BBC Studios and Masterpiece; it can be viewed on Netflix. I think the show is worth the time as it shows a woman's ability to rise in the work industry and it's interesting to compare our time period with history.

Falling Skies begins six months after a global invasion by extraterrestrials, where in only days, the invaders neutralized the world's power grid and technology, defeated and largely destroyed all the world's militaries, and killed over 90% of the human population by destroying all of the world's major cities and capitals. The aliens include mechanical attack drones called "Mechs"; a species of light brown-skinned six-legged beings known as "Skitters" that appear to control the mechs; and a mysterious species known as the Overlords, or "Espheni", presumably the actual engineers of the invasion and the masters of the Skitters.The aliens' objectives are not explained until season 4. They plan to extract helium-3 from Earth's moon to power their technology, and to use humanity as an enslaved front-line army in their war with another alien race. To do this, the aliens round up children between the ages of 8 and 18 and attach a bio-mechanical mind control harness to their spines. Forcibly removing it generally kills the child, but midway through season 1, a surgical method is developed that allows a harness to be safely removed, leaving in place the "spikes" that connected the harness to the spinal column.

Hall, Emilee (MW) Dark Tourist 100
Dark Tourist is a new Netflix Original TV series that first premiered in July of 2018. The whole concept of the show is to highlight the subset of tourism. As opposed to visiting beaches, parks, and other popular attractions, this series shows the dark side of tourism—like scoping out places associated with negativity, death, weirdness, and darkness. Journalist and writer of the show David Farrier takes his viewers on a dark and twisted journey as the viewers examine his travel experiences first hand. From witnessing an exorcism in Mexico to conversing with Jeffery Dahmer's lawyer to meeting vampires in New Orleans, Farrier does and sees it all in this Netflix series. I recommend this show to anyone who is curious, loves to travel or maybe even has a dark side his or herself. The show's executive producers are David Farrier, and Carthew Neal.

Gallagher, Aaron (MW) Better Off Ted 100
Better Off Ted is an absurdist satire of life in a modern soulless corporation. The titular character, Ted, is a mid-level executive, a single dad with a precocious daughter. Ted seems to be either unaware or intentionally ignoring the fact that Veridian Dynamics, his corporation, is intentionally, if comically, evil. His direct boss is a cheerfully amoral woman named Veronica. She is in love with Ted, who is put off by her relentless drive to succeed no matter the cost. Ted's love interest is a quality control manager named Linda who can actually see the evil Veridian perpetrates, and can't understand why no one else can. She serves as Ted's conscience. In addition to a revolving cast of unique and oddball characters are Phil and Lem, the Verdian research scientists who actually implement the company's directives. Although it only ran two seasons, it was extremely funny and showed a new take on the 'wacky workplace' trope.

Fierros, Matthew (MW) Kamen Rider Drive 100
Kamen Rider Drive is a Japanese Tokusatsu, a genre of film or TV show that uses a lot of special effects, drama that was released in 2005. The show is about officer Shinnosuke Tomari, who has been 'demoted' to the Special Investigated Divisons, a group that looks into strange happenings in the city. During his investigation Shinnossuke is chosen to become the newest Kamen Rider and is tasked with battling the forces that plan on taking over the world by eliminating humanity. It may sound crazy and strange, but that's because it. This show in my opinion is the perfect mix of drama, action, and cheesy stupidity. It is also shows how another cutler handles themes, such as drama and super heroes, compared to us.

Good Doctor is a show on ABC about a young talented doctor who has autism and savant syndrome.
