TV Show Review Thread
I saw that we had a Movie Review Thread (Made by Ever) and only thought it was fair to make a TV Show Review Thread. So anyone that wants to post a review on a certain TV show feel free to post it in here.
As far as layout of the reviews go, it's pretty much the same for everyone that is familiar on how to make a Review on here, just a little different in wording. If you don't understand how to setup a Review or need some Guidance, please feel free to follow my Review Layout below or get the idea from Dimebag's Thread found Here, or Ever's Thread on Movie Reviews foundHere
TV Show Review Information

After you've filled out the Show's Information it's time to move onto the Synopsis of the Show. Basically a short summary that gives the show's accurate background. You can copy this from the originated source, or you can type it out.

In this section you will explain the best you can on the main story of the Show. What's the motive /or goal through the series? What has occurred in the Seasons? The Plot of the Series? Be as informative as possible to really grasp on what the show is really about.

Synopsis
An ex-assassin and a wealthy programmer save lives via a surveillance AI that sends them the identities of civilians involved in impending crimes. However, the details of the crimes--including the civilians' roles--are left a mystery.
Story Line
The show first sets off in quite a eerie way, a man lost in the past and forgotten in the future, John (Jim Caviezel) sets himself on a road of despair and nothingness, waiting to drop into the abyss. But, out of no where some street punks decide to pick on the wrong man, John ends up going the Police Station to only be greeted by a friendly face well known as Detective Carter (Taraij P. Henson). She asks him questions only to find no answers. As he is released he is greeted again by a unfamiliar face, some call him a person of interest, others call him Finch (Michael Emerson), he tells John that he has a solution a purpose for his existence. From that moment on John and Finch partner up, curious about one another they keep leading themselves into a dead end. There is no possible explanation oft these two gentlemen for they are nothing but ghosts.
As John and Finch work together on preventing crimes before they happen, they are dealt with impossible like challenges that surely cause a stir in their plans. Of course this was all part of Finch's plan, to get someone with trained skill in combat to help ensure the safety of lives and protection of the people. However John still can't wonder about how Finch is getting his information. As John further investigates and countlessly gets shot-down, him and Finch start to form a bond of friendship. As they battle out many battles coming close to death and even cheating death, they find themselves in situations no one expected.
They meet new friends and enemies with new problems. Problems their machine (AI) can't even handle. They begin to rethink on their whole situation in joining this vigilante group. Have they crossed to many lines? Where will they end up? How will this all play out? I'll leave the rest for you to discover.

This review will be focused on Season 1, which I, and general critical consensus, feel is the best one so far.

This is the best TV show I have ever watched, and I'm not afraid to say that I've watched a lot of TV shows.
The directing, the script, the acting, the cinematography, it is all perfect. If any TV show deserves the moniker of 'perfect' it is this one.
If you enjoy true drama, real characters who have real stories and believable lives, this is the show for you.
The first season of this show is like watching an 8 hour Oscar worthy movie.
Unmissable TV is an understatement.
10/10

There are conflicting articles, but HBO is keeping Nic Pizzolatto well into 2018 and they said in a statement that there was still a lot of potential for the show.
So I think it's incredibly likely they'll do season 3.

Right. I should probably get around to finishing the second season.
