First i would state what movie or tv show u watched then give a quick statement about it saying something like it was a real edge of your seat thrill ride with all the twists and turns then go into detail about the movie and its good points throw in a few bad things and be really honest! Thats the best thing to do!

Reviews serve at least one of three purposes: they recommend to a reader/viewer whether they should take the time to read/watch the reviewed item, they critique the craft that went into the book/TV show, which provides detail to why you did or didn't recommend the book/show, and they review what happens in the show/book, so that others who have also read/watched the item can discuss it with you.

Given that, you should:
* decide which of the three you are going to do: recommend, critique, and/or review.
* If you are going to provide a critique in your review, draw up a list of things that you want to evaluate. For a TV show, these might include: cinematography, sound, music, acting, directing, writing, and the like. For a novel, these might include characterization, language, plot, organization, dialogue, etc.
* watch/read the material you are reviewing
* takes notes during your reading/viewing
* organize your notes into different points you want to make
* have a copy of the book or recording of the show handy to look up details while you write the review.
* write the review

I like to include all three in my reviews, in different sections, so that people who haven't seen/read the material can just read the recommendation and stop there without getting the spoilers that are in the review portion.

State whatever movie or TV show you saw, then say what you liked and didn't like about it, maybe include why the movie/TV show was so unique, like 'It had lots of humor' or 'The characters had great chemistry.' You know, stuff like that.

1) Right the good things
2) Things that you didnt really like
3) Things that you think could of been better
4) Over all you liked

Here is help:

I loved the Simpsons tonight because it was funny and the jokes made me want to tell them to others. It was very good at telling the story
I didnt like all the rude things that Marge and Homer were doing, I think they should of been cut out
I think it was to hard to understand, my little kid, who is 8yrs didnt understand, the talking should be easier for little people to understand the storyline
Over all it was a great episode, but there were a couple of ups and downs


There is one, I wrote it predening to be a mother or father. Hope this helps you

You have to express your opinion in a general way, you can't say "I think..." or "I like..." or anything personal. It has to be subtle, but at the same time you have to convince the reader, so make your opinion clear, just not personal.

For a TV show you need to break everything up.

You want o comment on the personality of the characters and if they reflect the target audience well.

You have to comment on how the actors portray the characters.

You have to comment on the filming, angles, productive special effects (if they have any). You should also mention if they need special effects.

Finally you want to give a view on the director and if you would recommend him to approach him as a producer with an idea for a TV show.
