Cloak & Dagger (2018)
There Will Be People Who Find That This Show Is Exactly What They Needed.
Unlike the people from that crowdfunded smear campaign, I watched the show, and I wasn't ready for the personal, heartfelt story about the connections people can have. Great unfolding mystery to those who pay attention to all the little clues and it drops references in a much less cheesy way than many of the Marvel Shows. This has Marvel Netflix all over it. It's kind of random for people to mention political correctness. I guess the new meaning of politically correct is that it has black people and women as main characters. lol. It's bound to have cheese because all shows do but those two have great chemistry as soul links
and friends and romance takes more of a back seat and has to deal with what it is to know someone's deepest thoughts. If all you care about is sweaty men in black leather ramming into each other while sparks fly out then this won't be for you. If you like subtle yet powerful imagery, mysticism, nuanced connections, personal growth, character depth and a good story, then you'll probably like it.
The Flash (1990)
Even though a few episodes were cheese, I loved this show.
This show was so special to me when I was a kid, because I felt like they were finally making something for the kids who were different, and before this show there wasn't really anything like it. John Wesley Shipp's flash had this way of speaking that always made you feel alright. It was a different time. There were a lot of kids who needed it, and I was definitely one of them. Of course the networks had no idea what to do with it - even Batman was a fluke at the time, because comic books were still considered something specifically for nerds - and liking nerd things meant being uncool. Now after 25 years, comic book movies rule entertainment. I gave it 8 stars out of ten, because there were some cheesy moments. It comes off very G-Rated these days, but we shouldn't measure our shows by how dark and violent they can be, because people are forgetting about the goodness and kindness that comes from the natural desire to do good. The flash is a kind person who respects the people around him, and I'm happy to see that the 2014 Flash series with Grant Gustin is carrying the torch in not only giving us another flash, but paying homage to the 90's version by including John Wesley Shipp. I hope to see more of the 90's cast make appearances as time goes on.
