I'm back from a couple day absence,
and- yahoo!-it's summer break! Today, I'm here reviewing the
television show that we've been netflixing for the past month-Chuck.
Synopsis: Minor Spoilers-well, mainly the synopsis of the series, but still.
Chuck Bartowski works at the local Buy
More, and lives with his sister, and has to deal with the crazy
things his friends do everyday. But when he receives an email from an
old friend from Stanford, all of that changes because the email
contains government secrets. Thanks to that knowledge in Chuck's
head, he ends up in the spy world when a CIA and an NSA agent show up
to protect him, in a joint-organization operation to keep Chuck safe
and go on dangerous missions, using the knowledge he know holds.
Review:
I admit, I didn't watch the first
three episodes. Why? Because I thought it would be a stupid show. My
Mom found out about it on Twitter, and started to watch it. Then so
did my Dad. Finally, I just pulled a Doctor, and figured, 'What the
hay?' and I started to watch it. And I must admit, it wasn't as
stupid as I thought it would be. In fact, it wasn't stupid at all.
Admittedly, it's a silly show. But a good, funny silly. Although,
don't let that throw you off, because some episodes are more serious
than others. It's a very funny show, has plenty of Geeky references
that I absolutely love, because normally when watching TV, I have to
go to my translators for info when a reference is made (Mom or Dad),
so when I get one, I turn into the Cap: I understood that
reference. So, I like finding
shows that I know the references they make.
The
show has had some pretty big guest stars as well, including (but not
limited to) Timothy Dalton (Rassilon), and the one, the only, the
Stan Lee (No, I'm not kidding). The stories themselves are pretty
well done, and have great humor, and almost always have Chuck in
dangerous, and silly, situations. Everyone on the show does a
marvelous job (er, pun not intended).
My
favorite character in the show would have to be Chuck. Mainly because
he's such a sweetheart, and the fact that he wears Converse in every
episode could help a little too, but you just...you can't help but
liking Chuck, he's one of those instant likeable characters in my
opinion.
My
only complaint about the show would be the ridiculous outfits they
put the female characters in in the first couple of seasons (it
stopped mainly around season four), and I think spies would probably
dress more sensibly, and probably more like Kate on Castle
or Elizabeth on the
Blacklist.
So,
in all, it's a fantastic show, it'll make you laugh, and-if you're
sensitive like me-make you cry, but it'll be one fun heck of a ride!
Overview:
5/5

I am the same way when it comes to references.Chuck sounds like a fun series, maybe I will give it a shot sometime.

Well, at least now I know I'm not the only one! It's a real fun series, and has plenty of references to different things (the main ones being Star Wars). Well, if you do, I hope you enjoy! (Oh, I forgot to mention, it was only on for five seasons, it's unfortunately over now).
