A top-down shooter with superpowers.

An awkward and unforgiving game that’s zoomed in too far to be fun.

In a world ruined by an alien invasion and terraforming, an ex-military turned scavenger and his alien adopted daughter take refuge in one of the few reasonable settlements: Defiance.

Although it has elements I like, it doesn’t have anything that actually grabs me. In a world where there is so much else of better quality, this is not recommended. There are a couple of characters who are really well acted, but again.. it’s not worth the trouble.

A buddy cop show with an android, set in the near future.

It’s great all around, especially the acting from the lead characters. Once the initial interest wears off, it lacks the good writing to give it either an episodic groove or an overall story arc. It’s especially poor with an arc which could last it into another season, trivially-justifying its cancellation.

Recommended only for fans of “loose” science fiction who would be interested in the robot buddy cop angle. Watch one episode, then decide. Others can give it a pass, unless they like Karl Urban, who plays a cop played by Karl Urban.
