Read The Scripts Quick Reviews for August 2024: Was Dark Side of the Ring Season 5, Fallout and Them Season 2: The Scare Hits or Misses?


A dark world we live in



Dark Side of the Ring Season 5

Vice TV's Original Series Dark Side of The Ring Season 5 was an okay season to watch, if you are a Pro Wrestling fan and watch the past seasons then you might like this one. The stories we got this season were good but not impactful like the last couple of stories we got in the past seasons. I thought some of the wrestles they chose to cover this season were good but there were some that I didn't care for. I like the stories of John Tenta (Earthquake), Terry Gordy, Harley Race, Chris Colt, and Sherri Martel, I also like James Fullington (The Sandman) and Chris Adams. Now the rest of the stories were okay, but I wasn't into them, I thought the Buff Bagwell and Brutus Beefcake episodes were good, but I already knew some of the stuff they cover. The Vince McMahon Black Saturday story was good, but once again I knew about this stuff from reading and watching a documentary about Vince taking over the Georgia Championship Wrestling timeslot on TBS Network back in 1984. I thought this season was good some episodes didn't hit for me, but the rest were really good. I do recommend to watch this season if you haven't already.





Fallout TV

Amazon Prime Original Series Fallout was an interesting and fun series to watch, if you are a fan of the Video Game Franchise you will love this show. I thought the story was very interesting I like that the story takes place in this future post-apocalypse timeline, and we see how everything has changed in this world. I thought some of the characters in this series were good, my favorite characters are Lucy, Norm, and Hank MacLean, I also like Cooper Howard (The Ghoul) and Lee Moldaver. Some of the other characters were good too but there are some I didn't care for like Maximus and Knight Titus. The fight scenes were very good, and I also liked the easter eggs that I knew about in this series. The ending of episode 8 was really good and I also like how they set up season 2, it does look like we are going to get a New Vegas type of story in season 2 which is interesting because based on the game that story takes place in the year 2281. After watching this series I'm interested in the Fallout lore more, I know some of the lore from watching some Fallout 4 walkthroughs but now I want to know more about it. I can't wait for season 2 and I do recommend to watch this season.





Them Season 2: The Scare

Amazon Prime Original Series Them Season 2: The Scare was an interesting season to watch, if you like Them Season 1: Covenant for some reason you might like this one. The story in this season was good I like that it was set in 1991, and it focuses on the two siblings that didn't know they were related to each other. The horror elements in this season were a lot better I also thought the characters were good in this season too. My favorite characters were Dawn Reeve, Edmund Gaines, Joaquin Diaz, and Athena Reeve. I thought the other characters were good too, but there were only two characters I didn't care for like Kelvin Reeve and Ronald McKinney. The ending was good to me I also like the jump scare scenes throughout this season, the easter eggs that we saw were good and I like how they connected one character from the Covenant season to two of the main characters in this season. I thought The Scare was way better than Covenant and I would like to see a Season 3. I do recommend to watch this season if you haven't already.



So Overall I thought Dark Side of The Ring Season 5 was a miss, but it did have some episodes worth watching. Fallout is a hit I like the story, and the cast did a great job. Them Season 2: The Scare was also a hit to me it was so much better than Season 1: Covenant, the cast did a good job, and like I said I wouldn't mind a Season 3, but I need the writers to not make it like Season 1.
