How to Write Television Reviews
Writing a TV show review is a fun way to get your opinion across about how you feel regarding plot, characters and actors. You can write down your thoughts and let others see them in print, on social media sites, on blogs and on the TV show's promotional website. Others may agree or disagree with your review but can form their opinions after watching the show, given the information you provided.
- Place the name of the title to the TV show you're about to review somewhere near the top of the page. This allows readers to know exactly which show you are referring to in your review before they start reading it.
- List the genre that the TV show fits in such as crime, drama or romantic comedy. Follow with a general description of that category.
- Write down what your favorite episode and explain to your readers why that episode is your favorite. Give them a description of the show, letting them know, through your eyes, what happened. You can also talk about an episode that you considered bad. Explain why how you think it should have worked and what the show can do in the future to improve.
- Relay information to your readers about the main characters. Talk about their occupation or lack there of. Describe how they look and if they are single, married or going through a break up. Let your audience know how the characters have changed throughout the season. For example, in the TV show “Vampire Diaries,” the character Alaric, realizes that he does care about how Elena's and Jeremy are faring and, with that knowledge, he continues to look after their welfare. Before, he just wanted to go home, put up his feet and drink some beer.
- Let your readers know what kind of person would like to watch this show on a regular basis. For example, if you liked the TV show “That 70s Show” it's fair to assume you would also enjoy other programs about life in high school that have a good deal of comedy in them.
- Include information such as how well the show stacks up to others that fall within the same genre.
