The Binge Watcher Review: "Psych"

“Psych”

Starring: James Roday, Dule Hill, Timothy Omundson, Corbin Bernsen, Maggie Lawson

Synopsis:

A novice sleuth is hired by the police after he cons them into thinking he has psychic powers which help solve crimes. With the assistance of his reluctant best friend, the duo takes on a series of complicated cases

The Good:

A great show, great script which ties in pop culture humor. But the real stars of the show have to be James Roday, Dule Hill and Timothy Omundson. Each play their role perfectly.

The Bad:

Unfortunately like most great comedy shows the last two seasons seemed to have lost a little something. Not at all saying that it was bad, but it never met the standards of the first few seasons 

Final Thoughts:

I didn’t start watching this show until the fourth season. How did I ever make this mistake? The worse part was this was before Netflix and Hulu streaming, so I had to go buy each season…..Even now with Netflix I would still make those purchases. Some of the best episode were between season 2 and 5. Not only did they get some of the best guest star, each episode was filled with pop culture references, most of them being from the eighties and early nineties. 

James Roday was the star of the show, never missing a beat. His chemistry with Duly Hill was off the chart and made this series so much more enjoyable to watch. But the best part was watching Omundson grow within his role making Lassiter one of the best characters, and is the reason I watch Galavant today. 

If this want enough, the running jokes through out the series were the best. Try to find the Pineapple in each episode. Also the specialty episodes that got a revised version of the theme song, Just Brilliant!

If you love fake psychic detective shows, check out Netflix as soon as possible. This is a must watch series and to this day I am still missing it. I give this Two Thumbs Up, Let us know your thoughts of the show and leave a comment below.

The Binge Watcher Review: Galavant Season One

Galavant (Season One)

Starring: Joshua Sasse, Timothy Omundson, Vinnie Jones, Mallory Jansen, Karen David, Luke Youngblood

Synopsis:

The adventures of Galavant, a dashing hero who is determined to reclaim his reputation and his “Happily Ever After” by going after the evil King Richard, who ruined it the moment he stole the love of Galavant’s life, Madalena.

The Good:

The Acting, The Singing, The Writing, Everything about this show is excellent from Timothy Omundson to Joshua Sasse. Each Actor is on point, and even though its not needed there are some great guest appearances by actors such as John Stamos, Weird Al Yankovic, and Ricky Gervais

The Bad:

This might be the only time I do this but I find nothing wrong with this show. 

Final Thoughts:

This is Disney for Adults in the best way possible. The songs are cheesy enough to be great and the show reminds me a lot of Monty Python and Holy Grail. The show in itself does not take itself seriously as seen with the last episode of the season while during the final song it makes fun of its self with a dig that all the singing possibly killing the nelson ratings. 

King Richard is played by the great Timothy Omundson, if you have seen psych you will understand why he is so great. His Henchman/Best friend is the Vinnie Jones, this role is definitely outside his normal role of bad ass bad guy which I believe make his appearance in the show that much better. But the star of the show is Joshua Sasse who plays the lead character of Galavant. 

Some of the moment that really sell this show is every time Galavant misses the opportunity to be the hero in order to proclaim his intentions of saving the day. Just Awesome. Than if that want enough there is the drunk song between King Richard and Galavant that really brings the show home for me.

If it wasn’t obvious with the review I definitely give this show Two Thumbs Up and if you have watched yet, check out Hulu for Season One while its still up. Let us know what your thoughts of the show and leave a comment below.
