Stranger Things (2016)
Certainly a fun watch, but certainly not 9 stars
Entertaining to say the least and definitely a nice nostalgic trip back into the 80s. However, the show remains full of plot holes and a good part of it feels 'forced' and 'shaky'. While i binge-watched the show, it felt underwhelming and overacted. Season 1 was better, whereas this one let me down in hard to define ways (conclusion, useless scenes and jokes, poor character development, etc). Also, i really felt the need to give it a 7 star rating. IMDb was by go to reference but it seems that every new show nowadays always gets either a 10 or a 1. Too polarized. This show is DEFINITELY not a 9 or 10, and I would place it somewhere between 7 and 7.5, maybe.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Stop being such a Trekkie, start being a SciFi fan
First time I write a review and I felt the need to do so here, seeing all the excessively biased reviews. I'm sorry, but 1 star out of 10 is complete negative bias. No way is the show this bad. I can understand disappointment coming from the die-hard fans, but at least be fair. I'm a Star Trek fan myself and appreciate all sorts of SciF, yes that also includes Star Wars, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, etc.etc..
To put things into perspective, this is a sort of reboot and modernization of Star Trek. Yes, so far they've put aside the "exploration" aspect. Yes, there are more battles and violence than in previous Star Treks. Yes, the "techie" side kind of got put away. But no, the show is not "bland". No, the show does indeed remain interesting in its own way. No, violence and action doesn't make it undeserving.
This is a fun show. Put aside the "Star Trek" title if you have to, and enjoy it for what it is : a science fiction / space TV show. If that doesn't float your boat, go back to the original series and keep on mulling about the past. Or better yet, jump onto these ridiculous TV reality shows and quit Sci Fi altogether. For those who gave this show 1 star, shame on you as you aren't true SciFi fans. I do feel some shows are much better than others, but this one (so far for entertainment value) gets a 7, 7.5 star in my books, which is better than average.
