Top 10 Shows of 2022

10.  Rings of Power on Amazon Prime is a great prequel series that has a lot to do in the years to come but the problem is it's still a lord of the rings show. And as you may know I cannot stand the Lord of the Rings. I couldn't care less about it! Regardless, this show was pretty solid!

9. Ms. Marvel on Disney+ is half amazing and half terrible mess. The amazing part is the representation and historical significance in the story, the messy part is the finale school scene and the unnecessary love interests. The final product was a solid show that promises a lot in the future!

8. She-Hulk: Attorney At Law on Disney+ is another MCU show that pushes the boundaries of what the MCU actually is. It pokes fun of itself and is self aware which sometimes helps it and sometimes hurts it. This time around it's alright to have poor writing because Jennifer Walters can just make fun of it and it'll be alright. But in all honesty they knew what they were doing with this show and it promises much more to come in the next phase of the MCU.

7. Obi Wan Kenobi is a Disney+ series that takes place in between episodes III and IV of the Star Wars Saga and fills in the gap of the story for the arguably the most important character in the franchise. With great performances from both Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christianson this show is only dampened by some poor writing and action scenes. Why have a little girl who can't act and run have 3 running scenes in the show? Come on guys!

6. Under the Banner of Heaven is an FX original series that my wife got really into. I will admit that I have not watched the entire season but what I watched was very well done. Also, go Andrew Garflied for crushing another great role!

5. Peacemaker on HBO Max is one of the best things to come out of the DCEU. Unfortunately I think the possibility of a season 2 seems pretty unlikely with the state of thing and that sure is a shame because this show is bonkers and fantastic. I didn't buy John Cena as an actor until I saw this series! So much fun!

4. Moon Knight is another MCU series on Disney+ and it is the best one this year! Oscar Isaac does a great job in his multiple roles and the supporting cast keeps it fresh and interesting. The only problem with this show is that there was not enough Moon Knight!

3. Bridgerton on Netflix is on it's second season and this one is much less sexual than the last but uses it to it's advantage. Having so much tension leading up to the climax of the season leaves me wanting more Bridgerton to see what will happen with these characters! Who will be the diamond of the season in season 3?

2. Andor is the greatest show that no one is talking about. The Star Wars Disney+ Series does not rely on lightsabers or destiny but instead relies on fantastic writing, pacing, and characters. The title character was a lead in the film Rogue One and this series is the rest of his story. Built on 3 main sub-stories that make up the entire first season it feels like 3 complete movies and is the second best Star Wars trilogy ever.

1. House of the Dragon is prequel to Game of Thrones on HBO Max and is the story of the Targaryens of Westeros. This show features many blonde hair characters that are all related but a more focused story than Game of Thrones. A lot of time jumps and lots of setup the climax of the story that sets up the next couple of seasons of action and drama.

"Covers" by Cat Power

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This adventure takes us to many genres of music covered by Cat Power! From Iggy Pop to Lana Del Rey to Billie Holiday, this album takes to many genres but somehow feels stale through Cat Power's style.  I knew this was a cover album and was excited to hear all the different songs sung in a new style. Unfortunately these songs are more than just the surface songs and singles. These are lesser known songs from big artists. I loved trying to guess who's song it was and then looking it up afterwards. Even though the artists she covers are from all sorts of genres this album is such a drag to listen to. The 12 songs slog on for 43 minutes and never feel like it's going anywhere. It's like she took the personality from the different artists but not any of the passion. I felt very bored listening to the songs. Two of the songs did make it onto my 2022 playlist including "Pa Pa Power" and "White Mustang...

Astroneer

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? Today takes us to many distant planets and worlds in a video game of exploring. Astroneer is a game originally released on early access in 2016 and was officially released in 2019 on Windows and the Xbox One and officially released on the Nintendo Switch today. The game focuses on exploration of new worlds and it is a joy! Unfortunately this is a terrible port and I know this because the reviews upon initial release were very positive.  Astroneer on the Nintendo Switch is a port from Windows and Xbox One in 2019. I know that this game works on a controller because it was on the Xbox, but for whatever reason I can't get out of the first section. I don't know if the button mapping is off, or if the way it was built on PC really doesn't translate to a controller, or if I'm just an idiot! But this game does not work on a controller. The visuals are great and are a cross between Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker and Min...

Hotel Transylvania 4: Transformania

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? Today's adventure takes us to the amazon rainforest on a quest for a crystal to change humans into monsters and monsters into humans. In the 4th installment of this weirdly long running series that is the plot! Does it make sense? Is it enjoyable to watch? Are there some redeeming qualities to this series that went from theater releases to straight to streaming? We shall see. Like I said before this is the fourth installment to the Hotel Transylvania series and I did not realize it was successful enough to make a fourth one. However, the first three were theatrical releases and this time around it was released only on Amazon Prime. Due to this, Adam Sandler is no longer the voice of the lead character Dracula but instead goes to Brian Hull who has mainly done voice acting for the Pup Star series, Tangled: the Series, and a Hotel Transylvania short film.  There is something going for this movie though mainly that the cast i...
