(TV SERIES) Deadly Class Season 1 - A Violent Series Adapted from Popular Graphic Novel on Academy for Assassins

As I was searching for series to watch last week after completing another season of other series, I remembered wanting to see this new one that started in 2019 itself. So yeah it is pretty new. It was shown in SyFy but not their usual science fiction/supernatural series. The premise was interesting for me and I just had to give this a try. Well we should start now to find out what it was all about.

Brief Story Line

Set in the year 1980s, a homeless kid named Marcus (Benjamin Wadsworth - Dad Vs Lad TV series) who had a notorious reputation was somehow recruited to join an underground academy called King's Dominion. This academy was a place to learn various skills for assassination or killing such as martial arts, the art of poisoning and so on. The students came from various backgrounds such as daughter of Yakuza leader Saya Kuroki (Lana Condor - To All The Boys I've Loved Before etc), a young gang leader Willie (Luke Tennie), the son of an abusive cop Billy (Liam James - The Killing TV series etc), son of a Mexican cartel leader Chico (Michel Duval) and his girlfriend Maria (María Gabriela de Faría).

(TV SERIES) The Magicians Season 1 - A Wonderfully Done & Dark Story of Magic

As I was looking through the list of series shown on 1 of my most favorite channel SyFy, I found out that there was this one which somehow eluded me. It was already shown since end of 2015 and currently in its fourth season. It really looked intriguing as the story was about magic. I finished the first season in few days time and immediately wanted to write about the series. Ok, let's get on with it now.

Brief Story Line

Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) was an awkward guy who seemed out of place anywhere. His only best friend was Julia (Stella Maeve - The Runaways etc) whom he knew since childhood. One day Quentin was somehow "transported" into a magical campus called Brakebill University where people could enroll to become a magician. He would later on meet with senior students Eliot (Hale Appleman) and Margo (Summer Bishil - The Last Airbender etc) who loved to have fun.

(TV SERIES) Krypton Season 1 - The Story of Superman's Family Origin

After watching an action thriller series, I was in the mood for some series based on comic books. This time I wanted to give a DC comics adaption a try. I came across this one when I was reading list of all comic books adapted into TV series and I was intrigued by the premise. What was it about? Let's find out more below.

Brief Story Line

Story was set in the planet Krypton many years before the events of Kal-El aka Superman was sent to earth. The series focused on his grandfather Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe) whose family House of El was stripped of their rank. It was all due to Seg's grandfather Val-El (Ian McElhinney - Game of Thrones TV series etc) persistence not to share important information to the government. Growing up, Seg had to work odd jobs and befriended with a bar owner named Kem (Rasmus Hardiker). 

(TV SERIES) Van Helsing Season 1 - A Unique Vampire Series But Might not be the One You Are Looking For

It's been a while since I tried a new series as these past few weeks, I concentrated on watching other series. I was looking for a science fiction series and thought that usually SyFy had some of the best ones, such as 12 Monkeys that I saw some time ago. So I decided to watch this one which was into their 3rd season this year and with only 13 episodes each season, it should not be too difficult to catch up. My views below would be only on the first season that I just completed last night.

Brief Story Line

In the year 2019, the world was in a post-apocalyptic state where the sun was blocked by some cloud that enabled vampires to roam the streets and did not have to hide in the dark anymore. This phenomenon was referenced as The Rising. A mysterious woman named Vanessa (Kelly Overton - Tekken, Legend TV series etc) had been in a coma for the past 3 years and guarded by a marine named Axel (Jonathan Scarfe) and Doc (Rukiya Bernard) in an abandoned building. It would later on be revealed what Vanessa could do and her importance in the war between humans and Vampires.

(TV SERIES) 12 Monkeys - One of the Best Time Travel Series

I found out about this series (probably from my brother in law since I cannot remember who it was that told me) and watched the first season which I absolutely loved. But waiting for the future seasons that took a while made me forget most of the plot. So I waited for it to be concluded just last month to see the whole 4 seasons continuously. Now let's start with the series.

Brief Story Line

Story was set in the year 2043 where the world had been hit by deadly virus which killed 7 billion people. A team of scientists led by Katarina Jones (Barbara Sukowa - Rosa Luxemburg, M.Butterfly etc) had created a time machine to alter the history. They recruited a scavenger James Cole (Aaron Stanford - X-men: The Last Stand, Nikita TV series etc) to go back in time to the year 2015 and stop the release of the virus by an organization known as the "Army of the 12 Monkeys". Despite the objection from his best friend Jose Ramse (Kirk Acevedo - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Fringe TV series etc), Cole still insisted to go and face the danger.
