Player Affinity:
The series premiere of Last Resort is still a bit more than a week away, but ABC was kind enough to make the episode available online. Luckily, we here at PlayerAffinity TV mostly have good things to say about it. A pilot episode is usually the proof-of-concept, or sample made to sell the series to a network. Pilot episodes come in all shapes and sizes, and most of them — even among the most successful — are rarely as engrossing as this one was. In just one episode, we've managed to get a pretty good sense of all major characters while following the crew in the middle of the Indian Ocean (and the folks back in the U.S.) through an engaging story.
Ashley Madison-Sex Lies and Scandal Review: The documentary refuses to take a stand on whether or not it wants us to feel bad for cheaters, infuriating viewers with its wishy washy attitude.
Outer Range Season 2 Review: This season is as insane and slow as the last part and doesn't attempt to answer any questions, while adding on to those of the last one.
Monster Review: While this film delivers elements of horror and thriller, they're only sporadically effective, leaving the overall experience falling short of expectations.
