Top 10 of 2015


We're only a day away til saying goodbye to 2015 and saying hello to 2016. A lot has happen this year and this year in entertainment there was just no doubt a mind-blowing year. I thought I give my top 10 list of this year's television, movies and what to look into for next year.


Television:
Top 10 Comedies:



1. Parks and Recreation, NBC: It was the final season of what I call the greatest comedy series to hit the airwaves. Once again the writing on the series was another home run, with amazing performances from this great ensemble cast. The series really gave us so much to laugh about and more important so much to tear up about as well.

2. Veep, HBO:
3. Transparent, Amazon
4. Girls, HBO
5. Inside Amy Schumer, Comedy Central
6. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, FOX
7. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Netflix
8. The Big Bang Theory, CBS
9.  Orange is the New Black, Netflix
10. Bo Jack Horseman, Netflix


Top 10 Dramas:


1. The Americans, FX: I can't find another show that had such a great season than this one. Keri Russell and Mathew Rhys gave a stunning performance in the third season. The show has gotten better since it premiered. Season Four comes in March.

2. Homeland, Showtime
3. The Blacklist, NBC
4. Chicago Fire/PD, NBC
5. Mad Men, AMC
6. Parenthood, NBC
7. Doctor Who, BBC America
8. Hannibal, NBC
9. The Walking Dead, AMC
10. Game of Thrones, HBO


Top 10 New Shows of 2015:


1. Jessica Jones, Netflix: The latest Netflix comic book series is another home run for the streaming service. I never heard of the character before or read the comics for that matter. This series dives into such dark realistic issues from PTSD, abuse and rape. Krysten Ritter and David Tennant gives a perfect performance and has such great chemistry. I'm so looking forward to a second season.

2. Chicago Med, NBC
3. iZombie, The CW
4. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Netflix
5. Blindspot, NBC
6. Supergirl, CBS
7. The Carmichael Show, NBC
8. Daredevil, Netflix
9. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, The CW
10. The Expense, SyFy


Movies:

Top 10 Movies of 2015:


1. Jurassic World, Universal: After being in Guardian's of the Galaxy in 2014, Chris Pratt comes out swinging in another blockbuster movie. I had so much exception for this film that it full filled it. I felt like a kid again when I first saw Jurassic Park and The Lost World. Nothing but perfection!

2. Inside Out, Pixar 
3. Minions, Universal
4. Furious 7, Universal
5. Sisters, Universal
6. Trainwreck, Universal
7. Pitch Perfect 2, Universal
8. Star Wars The Force Awakens, Disney
9. Vacation, Warner Bros.
10. Spectre, Sony


2016:

Top 10 Shows to Watch in 2016:


1. The X-Files, FOX: I think this is the one that we're all waiting for to premiere. With where television is at right now this is the perfect way get older shows to return. The return of Mulder and Scully is at the level of the return of Star Wars for television (not movies). This show's on my must see list when it premiere's Sunday, Jan 24th after the NFL NFC Championship and Monday, January 25th at 8/7c on FOX.

2. Marvel's Luke Cage, Netflix
3. Colony, USA Network
4. Angie Tribeca, TBS
5. Sherlock The Abominable Bride, PBS
6. The Magician, SyFy
7. The People vs OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, FX
8. Westworld, HBO
9. Legends of Tomorrow, The CW
10. Shades of Blue, NBC

Top 10 Films of 2016:


1. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros.: It's one of the most anticipated comic book film of the 2016 year. Ever since the news about Batman and Superman facing each other, the world was buzzing times 10 and after the full trailer was released a month ago, the expectations can't be any higher than what it is. Ben Affleck looks great as an older Batman, who's been around the block more than Superman. This will probably will be the Top 5 film of the year.

2. Captain America: Civil War
3. Ghostbusters
4. How to be Single
5. Neighbors 2
6. Bridget Jones's Baby
7. Untitled Jason Bourne film 
8. Suicide Squad
9. Star Trek Beyond
10. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

After a monstrous year in television and films, I hope that 2016 will come close to that level. Here's to 2016 and I wish everyone the happiest of new year.

The teaser for the 4th season of Orphan Black was released. Even though it's only a teaser, it shows an plan eye at first but after it blinks a camera appears. What could this mean?
