Robot and Elves

I think there have been quite a few very good shows airing on TV lately. Mr. Robot is currently one of the best and I think The Shannara Chronicles may be one to look forward to next year.

Oh man, Elliot sure destroyed poor Bill. Ok, so last episode was mostly a drug/withdrawal induced hallucination. I'm glad and I basically expected it (I didn't want Elliot to be shot), but this episode was pretty brutal to the common folk. I mean Elliot crushed Bill's spirit then they made Trudy think her husband was in the hospital. I guess it moved the plot along and showed the lack of scruples FSociety has. In an case, those NPCs really were just curtain dressing In the episode – ripe for exploitation.

I think the best part was when they put one of their fake Evil corp commercials right before a Honda ad – it really looked like Evil corp and Honda were one and the same.

This show is truly worth watching and has been one of the highlights of my tv watching each week this summer.

The Shannara Chronicles

MTV will be airing a new series coming in January 2016 based on the Terry Brooks novels. Set millennia after a Great War, the Shannara Chronicles looks pretty cool from its first trailer. Take a look and I'm sure you'll be as interested in watching the show as I am. I haven't read the books…yet, but I might pick them up on my iPad and try to get through one or more before the series airs.
