Alright. I checked out all eight shows. Here’s how I rank them…
S TIER
Weak Hero: Class 2 – The second season is just as great as the first. A ragtag group of outsiders at a boy’s high school must battle a hierarchy of bullies. Humor, melodrama, and fight sequences galore. Hits all the right notes. And, occasionally, faces.
A TIER
Deadloch season 2 – Love these kooky characters, the frenetic pacing, and Aussie humor. Not as much as season 1, mainly owing to a reveal in Eddie’s backstory, but still a blast.
B TIER
Snake Killer – This Danish crime thriller follows in the steps of shows like The Shield and Braquo, and even if it doesn’t quite hit their lofty heights, it’s still a very enjoyable, gritty, character-forward watch.
C TIER
The Girlfriend – Highly watchable and compelling but pretty damn ludicrous. Great performances though.
D TIER
Shades – While also highly watchable, this high concept series is packed with cliches and spectacularly fails to stick the landing in its far-fetched finale.
DNF
Detective Hole – I just felt like I’d seen countless versions of this show and this character.
Hot to Get to Heaven from Belfast – Really wanted to like this one but it was just too irritatingly quirky.
Something Very Bad is Going to Happen – Yes, this cliche-ridden nonsensical horror show.
