It’s the beginning of the end and pretty much it is do or die. Either do find a way to stop King or die at the hands of his remaining minions.
What do you do when you get your first big check after being homeless and broke? Well, if you’re Earn, you spend it on dumb things to stunt of course.

For The People is likable but seems largely unremarkable as it doesn’t bring anything new to the legal drama format. Besides a focus on young attorneys exclusively.
In many ways, Rise, seems like a gritty Glee reboot but considering it is less camp and more serious, the comparison discredits all that Rise has the potential to offer.
Prodigy, through simplicity in setup, allows young actress Savannah Liles to shine as she plays off veteran Richard Neil and give us a layered performance of a 9-year-old sociopath.
2nd chances at happiness are a big thing this episode. Especially in regards to Shaun’s friend Kenny and the arrival of Claire’s mom. But, of course, not everyone deserves a 2nd shot.
Requiem is, by all means, an adequate, I got a few hours to spare, TV show to binge, but nothing you are going to want to push others to watch and talk about.
What could have been the final battle and end of Sagawa segues into talking about his childhood… yeah.
What goes around comes around isn’t just about karma in this episode, but also what happens in darkness will eventually be exposed by the sun. Whether you walk into the light or not.

In this post, you’ll find quotes collected from Becky Albertalli’s book “Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda” including page numbers.
Love, Simon completely wastes its nearly perfect cast with the kind of adaptation which makes you wish it completely disassociated itself from the book.

While A Wrinkle In Time introduces the world to its saving grace, Deric McCabe, many may find the fantasy elements downplayed and certain themes taking time which would have been better used to craft a more faithful adaptation.
In Robbin Season, better beware of being hustled. Even if you think you the one hustling someone else or the system.
Life Sentence is a bit corny, definitely a CW brand show, but even with that noted, Lucy Hale and the light-hearted nature of the show has its charm.
The play which evolved into a movie brings all you expect from its talented cast, as they pretty much stick to the type of characters they have become adept to playing and being surrounded by.
The Quad, thankfully, steps away from the administrators’ drama and refocuses on the students and the school they serve and are trying to keep open.
9-1-1 continues to fully commit to doing themes and for this one, it is all about karma being a bitch.
As Violet succumbs to PTSD and depression, so comes the question of not only does she have the right to live but her purpose.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
