7 Genre Shows to Look Forward to in 2013

So it’s a new year, and TV is about to start heating up again. I’m back to give you a rundown of some genre TV shows to look out for if you aren’t already on the bandwagon.

Animated

Young Justice TV Series

Young Justice: Invasion
This was a break out show for me and Cartoon Network as well. The end of last season led right into the next and a name change. There was an 8 year jump in the story, which had me worried a bit, but it was well handled. The team’s roster has been expanded, and several members are actually Justice League now. The relationships are complex, and the show, much like the last season of “Justice League: Unlimited” is more adult than you’d expect. However there are still some very fun moments. Currently on hiatus but returning soon, the invasion subplot seems to be taking center stage finally. This show has great art, great action, and great stories. If you’re a DC comics fan and you’re not watching this then you’re seriously missing out.

Green Lantern The Animated Series TV Series

Green Lantern: The Animated Series
Not technically in the same universe as “Batman:TAS,” “Superman: TAS,” and the “Justice League” shows it is cut from the same cloth. The characters have the Bruce Timm signature top heavy style, but are taken into the 3rd dimension in CGI. The art reminds me of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” a bit but with Timm’s signature style. The action is well played and the first season’s story ended with a bang, leading right into new Tales of the GL Corps. The Sinestro Corps will most likely make their debut this season as Sinestro finally decides to break from the Corps, and I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of Atrocitus and his Red Lanterns. Also on hiatus but returning soon, Hal Jordan’s adventures will continue to excite, and this take on the mythology was welcomed.

Just Around the Corner

GAME OF THRONES - Season 3 - Title

Game of Thrones
Winter has Come!!! With one hell of a second season ending, “Game of Thrones” set up an epic third season. I don’t know what’s coming exactly but the fact that everyone in Westeros is completely oblivious to what’s coming their way, this can only go very badly. Expect some deaths, and of course intrigue, and deception. And the Dragons are growing up too! This season and next will encompass the story of the third book, which is supposedly the most epic in the series so I can’t wait. I just want to see my Imp be the little baddass that he is, and my little tomboy show the world what she’s made of. Bring on the Storm!

    IS young Justice really that good? Haven’t seen it yet. But I’m a big DC fan, so I might just check it out.
    The new Oliver Queen is fucking awesome! Love the dark depressing role! And Spartacus I really hope it returns to the form shown in the prequel and season 1 as season 2 was a bit of a let down for me, we miss you Andy!
    And Game of Thrones, two words…FUCK YEAH!

      Yes it really is that good. Sure the show doesn’t concetrate on the League, but “The Team” as they are referred to do a great job. There’s tension, intrigue, and some comedy, but it’s played pretty straight. The show is more like Justice League than Teen Titans. Great action, great stories, great voice acting too! Danny Trejo as Bane, Brent Spiner as Joker (Both only showed up once but were great), etc.

      • Aegon the Conqueror

        Just finished watching the first four episodes, and you are right! I am hooked! This beats Ultimate Spiderman IMO, which I’m crazy about. Just goes to show you that when it comes to animation, Marvel doesn’t come close to DC.

        • http://www.beyondhollywood.com/ Dedpool

          Told you! Second season is even better. I like Ultimate but preferred Spectacular. Marvel does some decent shows, but it seems all the really good ones don’t last long. X-men Evolution, Wolverine and the X-men, Spectacular Spider-Man, Avengers EMH, the list goes on.

  • Aegon the Conqueror

    Avengers is nigh unwatchable for me, it just really bores me after a while…and I’m a huuuuge Captain America fan!
    Dude you are right, season 2 of Young Justice is even better! The five year gap had me worried initially, but after the second episode I was sold! Dick Grayson is so much more whelming now as Nightwing!

    • http://www.beyondhollywood.com/ Dedpool

      What!?! You’re crazy! Avengers is awesome, now I have to admit I still don’t really like Cap’s voice, just too over the top, sounds like he’s TRYING to be Captain America. However as cheesy as he sounds, the character has his moments, and the stories on the show are great, again second season is even better. Lots of guest stars.

    For me nothing will beat Smallville and Supernatural, though the former is unfortunately finished now :(

    Arrow is really crap… I still can’e believe I started watching it. Perhaps for Katie Cassidy? Lol. I’d add Vikings to the list, It really surprised me.

      To each their own then. Personally I like it more than Smallville, and I like the world they’re creating and the new take on teh character.
