Sunday TV is a monthly wrap up post where I talk about all the shows I've been watching. Sometimes I watch a lot of TV, other times not very much at all.
Once Upon a Time Season Four
I love this show, I really do. I watched the first two and a half seasons live and enjoyed them, but it got away from me thanks to school so I've been slowly catching up. Over winter break I decided it was time to finally get back on this horse and watch the entirety of season four. I loved it so very much. In fact, I think this was my favorite season! I must confess, I knew how it was going to end thanks to spoilers on the internet, but that didn't ruin the story at all. Most notable this season were the new villains: Cruella, Ursula, and the Author (if you could call him a villain). Each was super dynamic and had my attention from the second they were introduced. As always, Hook and Emma continue to be adorable, too, which is often a high light for me.
Noragami: Aragoto
A perfect follow up to the previous season. I was basically living off of this show for a bit, eagerly anticipating the new episode at the end of each week. It was so good and each episode managed to end on a cliffhanger that would have me just staring at the screen in a silent scream of feelz. I'm so incredibly sad that this show is over now. Content-wise, the plot is very different from season one, and, I would argue, much darker. It spends more time with Yato and has a split in the middle between two major arcs. One thing I particularly loved was how characters that are originally introduced one way get a full fleshing out and become someone else entirely by the end of the show. I don't want to say who, but there were a couple characters I went into either liking/hating and ended up feeling very different by the end.
Shadowhunters Episodes 101 & 102
I think this was a super anticipated show for a lot of book bloggers. I didn't have super high expectations, but I am glad it's finally become a real tangible thing I can watch now. Seeing this world come to life again has been really fantastic, since this is practically the series that got me into YA. I think my biggest complaint comes in the way of acting, which was sub-par, to say the least. I do think everyone will be able to grow into their characters nicely, so I'm not too upset, though. I was pleasantly surprised by the pacing of the show so far, too. I was worried they would run through plot points without explaining anything, like many shows often do. Also, Hodge is hot :)
The Shannara Chronicles Episodes 101 & 102
This was, perhaps, my most anticipate show of the new year, and it's petty much lived up to my hopes and dreams. I love it so much. The casting is fantastic, the story is being told in such a way that it feels cinematic, and the cinematography itself is gorgeous. The special effects, while not the best, are better than I thought they would be. Basically, this show is worth watching, even if you haven't read the books. I'm only halfway through the first one (I've taken a break) and I must say, I like the show better (Shannara fans out there, don't kill me, please...)
