Derek (2012)
One of the best TV shows I've ever seen, period.
In Derek, the acting is phenomenal, the story is phenomenal, and the characters are...do I need to finish that sentence? It'll make you laugh, and ACTUALLY make you cry. This show is an original (not just a Netflix original). When I first saw a trailer for this, it appeared to me that it was going to be a dumb sitcom that uses a mentally handicapped main-character for cheap laughs. I couldn't be more wrong, the character's are interesting, unique, likable (usually) and very real. The structure and style alone make this TV show unlike any other. I'm shocked that this show actually has a rating below 9 stars, the first four episodes I've seen have been perfect. Derek isn't good, it's not great, it's marvelous.
Man of Steel (2013)
Good movie victim to mass loads of 'comic-geek bias'.
I'll make it known in advance that I have never read a Super Man comic all the way through and am not particularly fond of Superman(basically because he is overpowered and uninteresting to in character).
Most of the negative reviews said basically this:'he's not Superman'. This review is not intended to be a comparison to the comics in quality or even story.
Now that you're aware that this is not a review of how well Superman was portrayed, this was a good movie. It may not be the same Superman you'ld hoped for, but it was a good movie.
The back story is engaging yet not extensive or SUPER melodramatic. The writing is well done. The acting is good. The special effects are incredible. The whole movie is visually stunning. Great acting(I do have some bias for that lovely Enchanted girl). The story is flawed, but interesting.
Lois lane is kind of annoying to be honest. She is the "strong female protagonist. Which these days actually describes a female character with two main characteristics: arrogant and prideful. Superman has never been known to really have great depth of personality supposedly, but this movie tries to bring it out and does an okay job.
