YOUR television SAY : BINGE TIME
TV FEST 2016
Ahh , the holidays . A time where you really have nothing but time to kill . It can lead us to catching up on a lot of things we missed out on . Thus , I present to you , four top notch TV shows to catch up on in this holiday period .
WESTWORLD
HBO brings us this thrilling adaptation of the 1973 film of the same name . That said , if you have seen the film you ain ’ t seen nothing yet . The TV show explores the theme park Westworld . A painstaking recreation of the American frontier . However not all is what meets the eye , the theme back is populated by what people call “ hosts ”, highly advanced robots that meet the every need , wish and desire of the park ’ s guests . In a story where average people get broken down and begin to indulge their darkest fantasies you watch a story where you begin to feel more and more sympathy for the robots who are seemingly real people . Sometimes to the point where you don ’ t know who is a guest and who is a host .
Things slowly begin to take darker and darker turns as the hosts begin to learn and evolve . Season one is nearly over but I ’ m sure it ’ s not going to end well for the guests of Westworld . Catch this one on iTunes or on HBO services or even on Foxtel , but it is a must watch !
ASH VS EVIL DEAD
Wow ! For any fans of the 80 ’ s masterpiece Evil Dead and it ’ s subsequent sequels Ash Vs Evil Dead is a dream come true . The series picks up some twenty years after Army of Darkness and we once again follow Bruce Campbell ’ s Ash Williams into the dark and twisted world of the Necronomicon . Deadites , insane violence and returns to some of the series best locations ensues . This show is just a breath of fresh air . So insane and over the top it is simply a joy to behold . That said not for the faint of heart or for the younger viewers . This show is violent ! Like full tilt 80 ’ s horror splendour violent . Just blood everywhere ... Just ... Wow ... But for the horror fans or for fans of Three Stooges slapstick comedy this show was made for you . Evil Dead and Ash himself have become pop culture icons and this show is a warm reminder that not all things that die are dead .
STAR WARS : REBELS
Star Wars Rebels is a fantastic example of good child based television . This show is for the whole family . The show is set between Episode Three and Episode Four of the Star Wars films and introduces us to one of the first bands of rebels that would become the Rebel Alliance from the films of old . We get some wonderfully complex characters for a children ’ s television show as well as some fairly mature plots that have wonderful payoffs . We also get the return of some of our favourite Star Wars characters , Darth Vader , Grand Moff Tarkin , Darth Maul , Lando just to name a few . For a fan of Star Wars this show is simply a treat . It rises mush higher than the clone wars series and it really feels like a great deal of love and care went into making this show a reality .
There you have it , three fantastic shows to keep you busy this coming holiday ’ s ! Each show has some super cool merchandise available too ! So if you love them don ’ t forget to check out the awesome toys you can get yourselves aswell !
