The funny, lighthearted spin that this show takes on the daunting process of growing up is what makes it so watchable and, even for someone like me whose patience is fully conditioned to match the fast paced, binge-watching fad that has taken over entertainment, worth waiting for each night that it airs on (gasp!) cable television.
It’s not uncommon for comedies to take their time to build up and reach their crux of sidesplitting entertainment. So while some viewers may have to be patient in order for the show to hit their humor sweet spot, based on everything the first few episodes promise, it’s sure to get there.
While the reboot seems to be taking time learning to stand on its own, Freeform’s Party of Five is able to navigate its political commentaries and relevant storyline to tell a simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming story with the intimacy and scrupulousness that makes this show as great as it is
Religion, ideology, and the second-coming of prophets that various religions believe in is definitely a topic of interest that has permeated Hollywood for some time, and this show in particular examines both sides of whether or not this one is the real deal, or simply another con-man who is eloquent and passionate enough to convince masses of people to follow his cause.
This show is all about growing up and learning to grow alongside your passions while realizing that they don’t define you; learning how to decide what to sacrifice and what to sacrifice things for.
The end of the pilot ultimately left me with more questions than answers, and though I was hopeful that the remainder of the 10-episode season would be able to work itself out into a coherent narrative, the first episode left me so perplexed that it seemed daunting to even try to make it that far.
If you’re ready for some great acting and writing, an enthralling and fast-moving plot, and the perfect mix of science fiction and horror, then I’m begging you to give V Wars a try.
The show runners described the show as “celebrating the wild spirit of Emily Dickinson” and I think they achieved just that and so much more.
This show is one that screams GIRL POWER every chance it gets and is uplifting while also being cynical and realistic in the funniest possible way while the characters learn to juggle the importance of what it means to have and maintain female friendships.
While I had heard talk of this show and how great it was, I can honestly say that Apple TV+ definitely didn’t disappoint with The Morning Show, one of its first releases, and I'm excited to see what else the platform has in store for us.
