#Soft Flex
Show: Reacher
Genre: Action, Crime, Drama
Description: After being wrongfully arrested and roped into a small town conspiracy in the middle of the day, the stakes get higher and higher as we, the viewers, torment ourselves wondering just one thing: will Jack Reacher ever get to taste that first bite of Georgia peach pie?
My guy Alan Ritchson (of Blue Mountain State fame, among other things) shines in the lead role of this surprise hit first season on Prime Video last year. It's got action, style and good writing, and I'm excited to see what a potential season 2 looks like.
@ Buffy
Show: The Vampire Diaries
Genre: Supernatural, Drama, Action, Adventure
Description: To my surprise, this show is incredibly well written. The intricacies of how things connect in the story, even as things get more complicated and seemingly more disconnected, certain ends are tied together so well and the parallels are done beautifully. There is so much thought put into the development of all the characters and they all work so seamlessly together, with a couple of big standouts--none of which are even the main character is fantastic.
