Samurai Jack – Episode XIII: Aku’s Fairy Tales

Title: Samurai Jack – Episode XIII: Aku’s Fairy Tales
wiki: link

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the adventures of the time-displaced samurai and his quest to make his way home. The First Season finale of Samurai Jack is an unusual episode as it is presented entirely from the perspective of the show’s villain, Aku (Mako). Frustrated with the growing hero worship for Jack (Phil LaMarr), Aku gathers children together and tells them a series of fairy tales in an attempt to present himself as the hero and paint the samurai as the villain.

The Good Cop – Who Framed the Good Cop?

Title: The Good Cop – Who Framed the Good Cop?
IMDb: link

With Monk Andy Breckman struck a chord with audiences by delivering a genius detective, played for the better part of a decade by multi-award winner Tony Shalhoub, whose phobias were his own worst enemy. Breckman’s new show, now available on Netflix, lacks any such genius either in front or behind the camera. Instead Breckman delivers a run-of-the-mill odd couple procedural with a by-the-book police detective (Josh Groban) living with his recently paroled dirty cop father (Tony Danza). The pilot episode paints both men in the broadest strokes possible. If there’s a short-cut to be had Tony Sr. will take it. No mater how small a regulation, Tony Jr. will abide by it. The pair are surrounded by a mostly forgettable supporting cast aside from Senior’s parole officer (Monica Barbaro), and potential love interest for Junior, who will be given a larger role starting in the show’s second episode.

Charmed – Pilot

Title: Charmed – Pilot
IMDb: link

After only being off the air for a little more than a decade, The CW has rebooted Charmed. I can almost hear George Carlin asking “How can you possibly be nostalgic about a concept like a little while ago?” The new series uses the same basic concept of having three sisters discover they are the world’s most powerful witches and will need to use these gifts in order to save the world and vanquish various demons of the week. There are some changes to the original formula. First, the girls’ mother is killed during the “Pilot” episode. Second, the third sister, unknown to the other two young women, is introduced helping to kick-off of the plot. And third, rather than discovering their powers for themselves, the aggressive Mel (Melonie Diaz), the shallow Maggie (Sarah Jeffery), and the bland Macy (Madeleine Mantock) get their powers and purpose mansplained to them by their whitelighter (Rupert Evans).

The Good Place – Jeremy Bearimy

Title: The Good Place – Jeremy Bearimyh
wiki: link

Ever since The Good Place made its shocking First Season finale revelation the show has continued to make unexpected twists and turns to continually reboot the situation of four humans and reestablish the question about where they should spend the afterlife. Despite all his meddling, Michael‘s (Ted Danson) plan to help Eleanor (Kristen Bell), Chidi (William Jackson Harper), Tahani (Jameela Jamil), and Jason (Manny Jacinto) falls apart once more as he’s forced to come clean about the truth (after trying to sell an improbable lie and briefly considering killing them all). Faced with the truth about their mortality, and where they are headed after the die, each member reacts to the news differently. Some react better than others.
