Amari is the founder and head writer of Wherever-I-Look.com and has been writing reviews since 2010, with a focus on dramas and comedies.
At a certain point, Jimmy’s story stops and just merges with Dr. Dre. Thus giving Interscope it’s meteoric rise. Yet, as before, while we hear people praise Jimmy, Dre shares his spotlight with the artist he helped make into legends.
Investing in something bigger than yourself is the main focus in episode 5 “Caroling Dusk.” Be it investing in your kids and making sure they know you, know that you will consistently be there, or investing in someone else. Trying to make it so, in the long run, you can say you did more than…
It’s becoming clear Hotaru has some kind of insecurity. That alongside some form of possessiveness over Yuma.
The Bold Type continues to present a different voice for the young woman. One which brings on the different thoughts, dreams, fears, and personality types without necessarily feeling like tropes. For there is a serious effort by the writers to present real people with layers and complexities and not some mindless guilty pleasure.
As with part 1, while Jimmy gets the privilege to name drop music legends, the more personal side of Dre competes with that. For while Dre’s time in NWA is featured, as well as Ruthless records, it is his personal life which you remember the most.
Another week, another guest star and of course all the drama you’d expect out of Daytime Divas. Of which, still, Kibby’s is arguably the best. Though Heather and Nina are getting better. I should note, however, despite Heather saying her family was moving into Mo’s apartment, she is not in the episode at all.
After the still fairly recent NWA movie, Straight Outta Compton, you might think the world was done putting the spotlight on Dr. Dre. However, there is always more to a story than even a two and a half hour biopic can cover. Especially one you are sharing with 4 other men. For it was missing…
Yukari officially meets his arranged wife and her reaction to him talking about Takasaki and revealing she is his second choice is kind of strange.
While it was one thing for Rosa, in episode 1, to make Rita question herself, with Helle and others doing so as well? It is starting to mess with her. Especially since her mom comes to visit.
Have you ever played a video game and felt, early on, even for normal mode things are a bit too easy? When it comes to “Hero & Beast” you may experience that feeling as Ernie faces off against that behemoth we saw in the last episode.
Princess Principal I started more excited than when I finished. However, nostalgia over Gunslinger Girl season 1 maybe the main thing which will keep me going.
After the battle in the last episode, things shortly return to normal. People regroup, rebuild, but naturally, no one plans for peace to last forever. Trigger Warning(s): Sounds of people vomiting

So we learn, in the long run, Castlevania: Season 1 is simply an origin story. One made to build up to the reveal of Alucard and his rebirth.
Trevor ends up outmatched and outnumbered. However, being that he is a Belmont, all of that means nothing. Trigger Warning(s): Vomit Sounds
More and more Castlevania seems like a movie that was excellently cut into 4 parts. For with us getting to know our assumed hero now, all that is missing is him being introduced to some baddies. Trigger Warning(s): Vomiting in episode, repeatedly (Not Within Attached Images)
Castlevania begins with a whimper but ends in a roar. One with scattered body parts and a being scorned looking for revenge.
Sony, as Fox hopefully one day will do with the X-Men franchise, has given into the House of Mouse and let their property into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With that, we finally are given the Spiderman we deserve. Albeit one with the PG-13 humor of most Marvel movies, but this is a Spiderman for a…
What is the dream? Who or what inspired it? How can you obtain it? In “My Soul’s High Song” the focus is on what makes a person feel happy or whole. Especially in times when you aren’t necessarily thriving but surviving. Sometimes due to compromise.
If you are expecting a touching love story or harrowing tale, prepare to be as disappointed as I was.
Rather than run through another series of topics, The Carmichael Show has a serious moment. Something which, hopefully, maybe the first arc this show has truly had.
Not since back when I invested time in YouTube series have I been this interested in a short. For while ecchi is what most people will see, there is also a kind of messed up story. One paired with a girl realizing she may have feelings for her best friend. Sort of like Faking It,…
SukaSuka, World’s End, and the one or two other titles you can find for it are as confusing as its names. If only because it is the type of show which has potential, but it keeps focusing on this one particular thing. Something which it, even in the end really, it doesn’t get right, but…
GLOW is very much like an action movie. When there is fighting you are engaged and kind of like “Wow, look at them.” However, when the leads start talking about their problems, you begin to understand why Netflix is probably the only company which would greenlight something like this.
I don’t know if I may cover the 2nd season of Daytime Divas. Not because I think it is a bad show, but it is just sort of campy. Now, recognizing camp often is associated with being so bad it’s funny, I think the best way to describe Daytime Divas is it sometimes attempt to…
So, Koi to Uso may very likely be one of my favorite shows of the summer. Live action shows included.
You know, sometimes, to be fair, I just say a show isn’t for me. However, there is such a temptation to mark this negative just because it seems so uninspired.
There is this unfortunate need to compare films of marginalized people. Not to say one is better than the other, all the time, but because many are so used to just having that one shining star it is hard not to compare. With Kiki, I compared that to Paris is Burning and I feel the…
Looking Back At June Numbers wise we are still living in a very post Thirteen Reasons Why boom era. However, new things are moving their way up the top 10 lists. For a moment there was this vibe, as I posted my collection of .gifs to maybe make that a thing again. It is still being…
In Janet Mock’s first book, Redefining Realness, there is a bit of a time jump from chapter 17, when she gets her reassignment surgery, to 2009. In that time period, we miss out on so much. Primarily the years of which Janet’s physical body matched who she mentally and emotionally is. The second round of…
Shows like this are why I’m a proud Netflix subscriber. For while Rita may not be an original property, Netflix uses its platform to expose you to some of the best non-English programming the world has to offer.
Though Knight’s & Magic has a pretty basic and uninspiring title, it is far from your basic anime. To me, it could be one of the productions which people argue is the top ten of the season.
Alice to Zouroku starts off strong, but then it becomes a slice of life kind of show. One which just so happens to feature some low-key sci-fi elements.

Samurais who are at war with demons who want to change history. Anyone else surprised this premise didn’t come from the SyFy network? Home of Sharknado.
I had intended to watch every episode of Gypsy. After all, out of all the jobs which get considered “Professional,” the occupation of therapy is seen the least. With that said, I have not struggled so much to finish a pilot in quite some time.
What Girl Meets World started for the Disney Channel, Andi Mack picks up the baton. In its first season, it leads Disney away from the overtly silly characters and makes things more real. Topics which perhaps may have been taboo or for one-off episodes like discovering one’s homosexuality or unwed, possibly teenaged, pregnancy are made…
Best Of One’s happiness is one’s own to define and decide.Looking down on someone’s decision or making it for them is nothing but heavy-handed. “Chtholly.” SukaSuka Remaining silent when one must speak is the slow death of freedom. “What Do I Care For Morning.” Queen Sugar My mother always said when someone invites you to…
Free Rein certainly won’t get Netflix new subscribers, but it may keep the kids, nieces/nephews, and little cousins of subscribers entertained. All the while, without the worry they may see something which requires an “adult” conversation.
As strong of a showing as the Gods had, they are no match for Charioce’s secret weapon. One which reconnects him with Nina and puts, at the very least, a pause to the war.
“What Do I Care For Morning” is an episode of growth and recognizing the needs of another person. Be it Charley recognizing the needs of Davis or Ralph Angel to be a role model in their son’s lives. Perhaps recognizing the greatness and intellect in another person as Nova does. If not something as simple…
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.
