A pair of semi-friends get entangled in parallel universes.
Mild British humour. Does not have anywhere near the intellectual weight of actual science fiction. Bubblegum British.
Though I watched the entire thing through, I didn’t really like it. Not recommended for anyone who isn’t a serious fan of British humour enough to be okay with a really weak version of it.

A down-and-out semi-lawyer bumbles around his life, trying to make ends meet.
After an entire season I still don’t feel anything for this show.
This show is a spinoff for a character from Breaking Bad – (2008 show)

A bad guy blackmails the good guys because he likes this one good girl.
My impression from the first few episodes was:
Seems “ok”. Unless this has a more interesting story-arc, I won’t consider this particularly good. The predictable and episodic nature of television bores the shit out of me. It makes a series only valuable only the course of multiple episodes and individual episodes become the shit I have to slog through.
My later impression, from the end of the second season:
Characters were slow and stiff until they were developed more fully. When they were, a broader story arc took hold, making this show quite a bit more interesting.
My final impression:
It gets repetitive and annoying.
Avoid cliffhangers: Watch more when it’s part way into the next season.

A top-down action fighting semi-roleplaying game.
I played quite a bit of it until early 2015. Spiral Knights is an exceptional game, but unfortunately as of the last time I played it, it lacks balance and so it lacks variety.
This is an exception to Java sucks, therefore everything made with Java sucks.

A zombie-survival first person shooter that I played the hell out of until late-2015. It still had a very active player base.

A guy goes mad and has visions, except they’re real people.
Decent, with occasional awesomeness between cringeworthy moments of “let’s see if we can put this shit in a show”. Oh, and it’s no wonder, it’s from “The Wachowskis”. I’m just going to let this die.

A 2.5D hack-and-slash combat-roleplaying game.
I played a bit of this a while back, maybe early/mid-2015. I liked it, but I moved on to other things.

Stuck at a dead-end job, a guy ignores his girlfriend’s nagging until she uses an old high school enemy to push his buttons.
I’m really really happy this series didn’t get approval. This pilot is a steaming pile of shit. It has nothing to do with Clerks – (1994 movie) and so it cannot build on its mystique, and it isn’t even particularly original or interesting on its own.
Properly titled Clerks. (with a trailing period) or more sensibly Clerks: The TV Show

A stargate is shown to connect to another galaxy, but the trip proves to be one-way and fraught with new evils.
Fairly good, I guess. It’s definitely not as good as Stargate SG-1 – (1997-2007 show) but is a mandatory view if you like that show.

After a stitched-together corpse is found, it is determined that children have been going missing.
Featuring a Sean Bean who is restrained from acting, this plodding may as well-be documentary features people with an English accent doing stuff and caring about things. It is neither captivating nor even interesting.
Inspired by Frankenstein – (1818 book), by Mary Shelley
