Series: Arrow, Narcos, Black Sails, Ascension, Jessica Jones, Gotham & Orphan Black
Ik probeer op mn blog bij te houden welke series en films ik kijk maar de laaste tijd vergeet ik het steeds up te daten. Dus bij deze:

Arrow
Spoiled billionaire playboy Oliver Queen is missing and presumed dead when his yacht is lost at sea. He returns five years later a changed man, determined to clean up the city as a hooded vigilante armed with a bow.
Leuke superhelden / vigilante serie :) Ok het acteren en het verhaal zijn niet altijd even goed.. Maar toch is het een leuke serie om te kijken en je wilt toch steeds weten hoe het verder gaat. Cijfer: 7,5

Narcos
Narcos tells the true-life story of the growth and spread of cocaine drug cartels across the globe and attendant efforts of law enforcement to meet them head on in brutal, bloody conflict. It centers around the notorious Colombian cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) and Steve Murphy (Holbrook), a DEA agent sent to Colombia on a U.S. mission to capture and ultimately kill him.
Vooral de manier van filmen is apart waardoor het soms ook een beetje op een documentaire lijkt. Goede serie! Cijfer: 8

Black Sails
A prequel to the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel “Treasure Island,” “Black Sails” is a pirate adventure that centers on the tales of Captain Flint, who has a reputation throughout the West Indies as being the most brilliant, most feared of all the Golden Age pirates. It’s 1715, and as Flint fights for the survival of New Providence Island — a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers — in the wake of threats from British and Spanish forces, he aligns himself with Eleanor Guthrie, daughter of the local kingpin, to hunt the ultimate prize and ensure his people’s survival. But standing in the way are rival captains, Eleanor’s intrusive father, and perhaps the bigger obstacle of all: John Silver, a young, fast-talking, authority-flouting sailor recently added to Flint’s crew.
Spannende serie die het ‘echte’ piratenleven laat zien ipv hetgeen wat we kennen van Pirates of the Caribean. De serie blijft spannend, met veel plotwendingen. Ben erg benieuwd naar het volgende seizoen! Cijfer: 9

Acsension
In 1963 the American government begins a covert mission sending hundreds of people on a centurylong journey aboard the starship Ascension. Its goal: to populate a new world. Nearly 50 years into the trip, the murder of a young woman — as Ascension approaches the point of no return — prompts some to question the project.
Leuke serie die je laat zien hoe het leven op een generatie-schip zou kunnen zijn. Ook erg interessante plotwending naarmate het einde. Cijfer: 8

Jessica Jones
Ever since her short-lived stint as a superhero ended in tragedy, Jessica Jones has been rebuilding her personal life and career as a hot-tempered, sardonic private detective in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City. Plagued by self-loathing and a wicked case of PTSD, Jessica battles demons from within and without, using her extraordinary abilities as an unlikely champion for those in need… especially if they’re willing to cut her a check.
Leuke serie maar toch vind ik deze wat minder dan de andere superhelden series. Ik had wat meer diepgang in het character van Jessica Jones verwacht. Cijfer: 7

Gotham
Jim Gordon is a rising detective in corrupt Gotham City, where his late father was a successful district attorney. Brave, honest and determined to prove himself, Jim hopes to return the city to the glamorous, purer version he remembers as a child. He and his partner, legendary Detective Harvey Bullock, must navigate the dirty politics of Gotham’s justice system, even as they tackle a high-profile case, the murder of billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. Gordon becomes a friend to their young orphan, Bruce.
Vooral erg leuke serie om te kijken als je de batman films gezien hebt en weet wat er ongeveer aan zit te komen in de toekomst. Erg goede serie. Cijfer: 9

Orphan Black
Sarah is a street-wise woman with a troubled past as an English orphan who bounced around foster homes before being taken in by Mrs. S, who uprooted her and her foster brother, Felix, to North America. She has made bad decisions in her life but always strives to do right by daughter Kira. When Sarah witnesses the suicide of a woman, Beth (who looks like her) she decides to steal Beth’s identity — boyfriend and money included — in an attempt to begin a new life for herself and Kira, with whom Sarah hopes to reunite. But assuming Beth’s life — Sarah eventually learns that Beth was her clone — doesn’t go as smoothly as she anticipates because Beth was a cop caught in the middle of a deadly conspiracy, making Sarah the new target. Sarah must fight to stay alive while trying to escape from the complex web. As more threads appear, Sarah is pulled deeper, and Felix becomes her one true confidant.
Supergoede serie, interessant verhaal. Kan niet wachten op het volgende seizoen! Cijfer: 9
