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.

S2 Ep. 1- Top 10's of the Decade

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes us on a journey to the past! 2010 and onward! What were my favorite albums, songs, video games, and movies from the past decade? What better way to kick off the new year, decade, and season than taking a look back! So here we go, season 2! Top 10 of the OT's! TOP 10 ALBUMS 10. "Awaken, My Love!" by Childish Gambino is one the quintessential albums of the decade. The cultural and musical influences he uses and creates with this album are astonishing! 9. "Wasting Light" by Foo Fighters is one of many they released this decade but is the album I believe is their best of them all. Even with "Concrete and Gold's" production value and "Sonic Highways" concept, this one is just the best. 8. "Sugar" by G. Love and Special Sauce is the return to form for the underrated group. Jimi Jazz returns on bass to create one of the legendary trio...

Munich- Edge of War

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Todays adventure takes us to 1938 Europe on the brink of World War II. Two friends who graduated Oxford together have gone their separate ways. One is from Germany and lives in London to gain information. The other is the secretary for the Prime Minister in London. Sounds like a fast paced action film right? If you said yes you would be wrong. In such a tense time in history, this movie does a great job at creating suspense but doesn't fully deliver on the payoff of all that suspense. With a 131 minute run time with the first half of the movie spoken in whispers, it creates the suspense but the loud parts of the film aren't the resolutions. There are a few blow ups between the characters which do act as huge plot points, like one of the flashbacks at the pub in Germany, but that develops characters and not the story. I know this film is based on a novel called "Munich" by Robert Harris and I bet the pacing of ...

S2 Ep. 4- April Showers Bring More Adventures

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This month's adventures take us to a bunch of places including AWOLNATION, Bumblebee, Midgar, and Camp Verde. It's been a pretty solid month with some pretty solid adventures! Let's see which one tops the list and which ones fall flat! 8. "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" by Fiona Apple This album is not at all what I expected it to be at all. I really liked Fiona Apple's older hits but I never actually dove into her discography past that. I didn't really know what I was jumping into and what I heard was not my favorite. The lyrics are cool, some of the piano work is really good but the songs are just strange and that's not really my vibe in music tastes. The songs that stick out on this one are "Shameika" and "Under the Table" but other than that it's just an odd album which isn't my thing. 7. "The New Abnormal" by The Strokes This is the strokes 6th studio al...
