I was a little bit hesitant about this in the beginning. The Flash has always been in my Top 3 DC characters and I wasn't entirely convinced that The CW could do it justice.

Boy was I wrong!

This, for over half of the season, has been my favourite new show of the 2014/15 season.

Every episode from the beginning just got better and better and would always leave me wanting the next week to hurry up and get here.

The cast is amazing. The three that I always enjoy watching is Grant Gustin, Danielle Panabaker and Carlos Valdes; they are all good to watch on their own but when the three of them work together is always awesome to watch.

The relationships are another thing I love about this show, most notably between Barry and Joe; the friendship between the two and also the father/son moments, especially in the final episode. Another one would have to be Wells and Cisco in particular towards the end of the season, I actually believe that Wells genuinely liked Cisco and regrets the way things had to go.

The range of guest stars and characters throughout the season, including the cast from Arrow, were awesome but Robbie Amell and Victor Garber as Firestorm were the highlight for me.

Another highlight and probably my favourite moments of the whole show; GRODD! Who would think that any show could bring in a telepathic gorilla into a show and not make it look like a joke. I really hope we see a lot more of Grood in Season 2!

My least favourite character would have to be Iris. Just really didn't get into watching the character on the screen but the moment when I disliked her the most was, I think it was episode 21 or 22, when Barry told her Wells killed his mother and her reaction was all about Eddie. I get it, your boyfriend has been kidnapped but your best friend has finally found out who murdered his mother and all she could concentrate on was her boyfriend and Barry's lies.

I love all the DC Comics references throughout the season from Ferris Air, Coast City and Jay Garrick but the awesome thing about these easter eggs is that they don't paint a neon sign towards it saying 'Look here!', it just there for those who know their stuff.

I am EAGERLY looking forward to Season Two! For me, it's too long to wait!

If you're not watching this – GET ON IT!

************************ SEASON TWO *******************************

I absolutely loved the first season so I was eagerly waiting for the new season. While Season Two is awesome, there are starting to be things in the show that I do not like.

Like Barry Allen! Barry had to be the worst character of the whole season, just so much complaining, whining, whinging and pig headedness. Always running off half-cocked, not listening to the team, screws up and then goes running back to them for help.

I really hope Barry improves in Season Three because there were some points throughout the season that he was hard to watch.

Cisco on the other hand; G.O.L.D! By far the best thing about the show and his character got bigger and better this season, still managing to stay the same character and so much more with the addition of his powers. Always on hand to make light of a dark situation without diminishing the importance of the situation.

I really hope Season Three brings a bigger and better storyline for Caitlin rather than her being in love and ultimately getting hurt. Having said that, I did absolutely love seeing Killer Frost – no matter how short it was.

The relationship between Barry and Joe is still as amazingly awesome as it was in Season One, just so heartfelt and pure. I originally was unconvinced of the idea of bringing back Tom Cavanagh full time but that changed throughout the season and worked really well without rehashing anything from the previous season.

This season I found Iris and Wally pretty useless, if they weren't in the show; as far as I'm concerned they wouldn't be missed. I felt that they brought Wally in too early to then just have him floating around in the background, he did get a bit more of a story towards the end of the season but that's when they should have brought him in.

Now onto Zoom. Overall, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed and that has nothing to do with the acting. Teddy Sears was brilliant but I think the writing and the structure of the season let it down.

I started to get sick of the here and there appearances; in one episode and gone for two. Repeat. In my opinion, I don't think we should have seen Zoom until the last episode before mid-season break or the returning episode afterwards. They should have spent the first half with miscellaneous bad guys from Earth 2 with inklings of Zoom, making him more of a menacing figure and then had his story more compacted through the second half of the show.

I still love this show, due to awesome dynamic between the cast, I think it's the best of the DCTV universe so I will 100% be watching Season Three.

I knew nothing of this character before it was announced that they would be making a show of it but given that I was from the same universe and network as Daredevil, there was no doubt I was going to watch it.

Boy was this hard to watch!

Where Daredevil is action, this is a psychological mindf**k. The themes are a lot heavier in this show and deal with rape of the mind. There were points where I felt that this show would have been better as a week-to-week show because I found it hard to watch more than three in a row.

Having said that, it is still a good show. The characters are interesting to watch and in what seems to be a regular occurrence with Netflix, the actors playing these characters are brilliantly casted.

My main exposure to David Tennant was Doctor Who and to see him in this as a psychotic nut job was a sight to behold. Rachael Taylor and Carrie-Anne Moss were awesome to watch and will hopefully see more of in the future.

The biggest character development and storyline would have to be from Malcolm (Eka Darville); from where he started to where he ended was just a big change in direction than what I thought he would have.

I am glad they killed Kilgrave, I don't think I could have watched another season with him in and I'm looking forward to seeing who the villain of Season Two will be.

As hard as this show was to watch, I will still be tuning in to Season Two.

I couldn't think of a better place for Daredevil than Netflix.

It's dark, it's gritty and it's violent; not something that would be as good if it were to air on any standard channel.

The opening credits are amazing and perhaps the best I've seen on any TV show. There is also no previously segments which means more time for the actual show, along with no ads, some of the episodes go for 57 minutes rather than the usual 40-45 minutes.

This is just like any other MCU project; the casting is brilliant. Charlie Cox is brilliant as Matt Murdock and Daredevil, Elden Henson as Foggy is entertaining to watch as was Toby Leonard Moore as Wesley. I found Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) to be boring and sometimes even annoying but I am very interested in seeing more of Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson). The show is full of strong characters from the main cast to the smaller guest starring roles.

The highlight of the whole series for me is Vincent D'Onofrio. I've known of D'Onofrio and some of his roles but never watched anything of his and he just completely kick ass as Wilson Fisk! One moment you're seeing him as this shy, charming man talking to Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer) and the next he is violently and psychotically killing someone in some very impressive death scenes.

I loved that we didn't see or hear anything about Fisk in episode one, his name was mentioned in episode two and it wasn't until episode three that we finally got to see him.

There are mentions of the Battle of New York from The Avengers and little mentions of other, yet to be seen, characters in the Daredevil and Marvel universe.

One thing that was constantly on my mind; why didn't anyone recognize that the black cloth over his head didn't have eyeholes?

The red costume, which appears in the final episode, is practical and still looks awesome. It looks like something you would wear if you happen to be a superhero in this present time and a costume that would actually protect you in a fight rather than look good.

Whilst the 2003 Daredevil movie is probably one of the worst comic book movies, I'm still entertained when watching it but this is so much better; from the costume, to the actor, the story and the loss of those milky eye contacts.

Season Two could not come fast enough for me!

********************* SEASON TWO************************************

If I thought I loved Season One, that's nothing compared to how much I love this season.

Most of that is due to the addition of Frank Castle/The Punisher to the cast! Jon Bernthal is absolutely brilliant in this role and always stole the focus even from the lead and titled character.

There is a lot more action and stunts, if possible, a lot more blood and violence. It's refreshing to see that when a character gets hit and/or stabbed, that they actually bleed and bruise unlike in some shows where they don't show any signs of injury.

The show is still full of strong and interesting characters; whomever Marvel/Netflix has on casting is doing a spectacular job! Foggy is definitely the heart of this show even though he doesn't seem to have a huge storyline.

Karen Page on the other hand annoys the crap out of me! Not only is she an annoyed character, I'm stumped by how she seems to be able to go anywhere she wants and gets jobs anywhere without any accreditation or experience; she a secretary and yet gets to be in the courtroom and even worse, left alone with a ruthless killer.

In some moments of this season, Matt started to get on my nerves. Starting to become self- righteous and apparently switches between loving Karen and Elektra like the flick of a switch!

I can't wait to Season Three, The Defenders and The Punisher series. Netflix has done an amazing job with these shows and the characters.

I was excited to have AOS back again.

The big thing for me is the cast. Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), May (Ming-Na Wen), Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) were still my favourites to watch. I found myself liking Skye (Chloe Bennet) and Ward (Brett Dalton) this season; I absolutely loathed them in Season 1.

Things were a lot more serious in this season. Coulson wasn't as funny and sarcastic as he was previously which I missed.

I also missed the team missions; there was a lot of individual stuff going on for each of the characters and no helping the little people; it was a lot of infighting.

I really liked the early scenes with Fitz and Ward. I actually believe that Ward is sorry for what he did and regrets losing them as a team and some as friends but as the season went on you get to see that Ward is kind of nuts!

In the second half of the season, I found myself getting annoyed with the number of teams on the show; SHIELD, real SHIELD, Ward/Agent 33 and the Inhumans.

I am definitely interested to see where the show will go with the Inhumans before the film is released.

I wasn't really fussed about the new agents on the show, Hunter (Nick Blood) being the only one I mildly liked but I didn't like how Trip (B.J. Britt) seemed to be downgraded a lot when the show came back for Season Two.

I love the set out that AOS has with Agent Carter; love having straight, uninterrupted runs before and after the midseason break.

Can't wait to see Season Three, especially after those last seconds of the finale!

********** SEASON THREE********

Out of three seasons of this show, this has to be the best one yet!

And most of that has to do with Fitz and Simmons having bigger roles for the first half of the season. You get to see a whole new side of Fitz and it's amazing!

All of it leading to Fitz and Simmons FINALLY getting together and being equally, if not more, adorable than before!

As well as the regular cast, who always seem to be on the ball with a mixture of drama and comedy, I did love the addition of Constance Zimmer as Rosalind Price and was devastated when she died. I do hope this is the last we see of Grant Ward; it would be very cheap if they somehow find a way to bring him back.

I cannot stand Lincoln; he's boring, has a repetitive storyline and can be pretty whiny. Needless to say, I'm not devastated about him leaving.

However, I was devastated when Bobbi and Hunter left, they were okay characters but that final scene was a massive tearjerker! Even though it wasn't picked up, I still 100% believe that the two of them wouldn't have been able to hold a show on their own.

I did like the addition of Inhumans to the show and look forward to seeing more and to seeing the movie, whenever it comes out!

I will most definitely be watching season four and am interested to see how the show will be set out without its midseason replacement, Agent Carter!

I've loved the X-Men since I was a kid with the comics and the awesome animated series but I have a love/hate relationship with these movies. I love being in the universe but I hate the inconsistency and completely skewed timeline of these movies!

First and foremost, Apocalypse looked horrendous! Absolutely 100% sh*t! The design on his face was done poorly, his voice didn't fit the character, it looked like he was always sweaty and he looked like he was painted a different colour. At least characters from Marvel Studios like Ronan and Gamora looked like they were actually that colour!

Apparently Jubilee is supposed to be in this movie – could have fooled me! At no point is her name ever mentioned, she has only a couple of lines and never uses her powers! So very disappointing!

I was quite disappointed in Angel/Archangel, his timeline was ruined by this movie and also Psylocke, who felt like she was just in it to look pretty – never mentioned her name and we got no story at all.

Can we please just go one X-Men movie without Wolverine! All these little cameos that don't really serve much purpose.

There were good moments in this film, like the new additions to the cast, and bad ones too, namely Apocalypse!

It was awesome to see the Danger Room and to see the characters in costumes that seem to have gotten some inspiration from the original comic and cartoon versions.

I will watch it again, probably buy it on Blu-ray but I always have to wonder; what would Marvel Studios do if they had X-Men!

I've known some details about the history of Bonnie & Clyde but I have never watched any docos or movies on the pair.

The story was really entertaining and has a pretty good cast. Bonnie was starting to annoy me towards the end, her need to be famous nearly getting them caught and getting people hurt.

I found the end, where the car they were in is riddled with bullets and I mean RIDDLED, to be very over dramatic and almost like the scene in Predator where Arnie and his men are wasting half their ammo on an invisible enemy.

It was a good watch but it won't be something I would probably watch again.
