In many ways, I’m ashamed of myself. The name and works of James Baldwin are familiar in terms of title, but the person and characters within are foreign. Yet, no matter how many a Black artists or entertainers name drops him, or we see him pop up in the stories of others, I did not…
With visuals which show Bryan Fuller still isn’t over Hannibal’s cancellation and Michael Green, the co-writer of Logan alongside Fuller’s past production Heroes, you have yourself an artistic bloodbath with loads of mystery and intrigue. Trigger Warning(s): Visual of Black Man Hanged (In Episode)
As it’s revealed what happens to those like the original Ofglen, June continues to try to navigate through a world in which she finds herself to be the lobster in the boiling pot.
Ivy, like so many before her, begins building up her villain status through Penguin as Bruce and Jim dig into their pasts for a better tomorrow in Gotham.
Anne: Season 1 comes to what feels like an abrupt end that could leave you slightly uneasy about one of the storylines for season 2.
The more you learn about the world June was both born into and has been forced into, the more questions you have. Of which, when you think you may receive an answer, you are just left more confused.
Best Of Dream big, they say. Shoot for the stars. Then they lock us away for 12 years and tell us where to sit, when to pee, and what to think. […] Then we turn 18 and even though we’ve never had an original thought, we have to make the most important decision of our…
Um, I’m starting to think Netflix isn’t that good at making season finales that can actually feel like a period or exclamation mark rather than an ellipsis.
Coco once more is the focus and, unlike Lionel, we get to complete her storyline of going from insecure to some form of self-actualized.
In our 2nd Lionel episode, the focus is him truly getting to know Troy and how his journalism career is going.
Gabe gets his own episode and, like mostly every other character, it is all about his relationship with Sam.
If you didn’t know better, you would surely think this episode was the season finale.
When your victimhood is politicized and popularized, what time or ability does that give you to grieve? That is the question posed as Reggie deals with the aftermath of having a gun pointed at him.
Reggie found the perfect woman for him but she belongs to someone else, a white guy, and that hurts his ego so much it clouds everything else.
Colorism is one of the main focuses of Coco’s episode and damn if the display of it may not bring you to tears.
Troy takes center stage and his storyline is sans a white girl and plus Nia Long.
Dear White People makes up for the lack of exploring Lionel’s sexuality in the movie version in this episode.
Meteora’s expositions continue to dominate the show and lead you to question if this show is even worth continuing?
As Buffy deals with some hair policing, Cyrus goes on a double date and Andi continues to wait for her dad to be revealed.
With every episode I watch of the first season, I come to understand what is happening here more. With that, you can understand the frustration of Azazel whose life was completely changed by the humans discarding former power dynamics. Much less embarrassing him as Lucifer’s right-hand man. Yet, in the quest to redeem himself, he…
I feel like I should preface my review by saying that I was not blown away at all by the movie version of Dear White People. To the point that I’m quite surprised it was adapted into a series. If only because I found it to be like a watered down version of all the…
Being that what happened to Rodney King happened while I was still in diapers, it has been a tale more so told often than truly felt. Yet, with so many looking to retell his story or what happened during the aftermath, it seemed only fitting to start at the beginning. To watch a one man…
Sleight may not deliver the Black superhero movie you might crave, but it is surely an appetizer for what is likely to come in the future.
Being that Young Adult novels have come to dominate visual media dealing with a post-war period, it is a bit refreshing that those under 25 play little to no role in the series. Women who have experienced life instead are the focus and how they are dealing with a world which sent back women’s right…
Usually, when you think of a dystopian future, it is post-war or after humanity destroyed the environment. However, in The Circle, the dystopian future is when all privacy is lost and similar to a handful of Black Mirror episodes, no one is who they truly are.
It has been nearly a year since Faith’s death and everyone, including Mac, is still reeling from it. But with everyone sure on the idea it was his fault and feeling powerless to do more than leaving it up to god, he remains ostracized.
I would love to complete this season, just to say that I really did give it a chance, but even at 5 episodes, I’m struggling ya’ll. I am struggling.
As Willem continues to grow closer to the girls, Chtholly especially, it pushes him more and more to find ways to better them in combat so they won’t be forced to sacrifice themselves.
As usual, things are often life or death and largely you are not in control. But if you have been playing the games thus far, you’re used to that by now, right? Play Through Time 1 Hour and 28 Minutes
After a little break from the show we are back and I’m starting to think shows wait till episode 4 to make some last minute attempt to win you over.
With Oswald gone, Nygma wonders who is he without him? Does he need a mentor or enemy to help discover himself or does he already know who he is?
For those wondering what life could have held for Marilla if it wasn’t for her brother’s death, this episode is for you.
And so the season comes to an end with Sophia’s career at a high and her personal life at a low.
Despite seeing her mom in action, Sophia still seems to have so much to learn. Though what she learns at the end of this episode she was long warned about.
Yes. This episode is about meeting Sophia’s mom.
Sophia really puts her foot in her mouth and there may not be enough Vaseline to get it out.
As the show reveals what Sana is, it becomes clear that Zouroku couldn’t care less. For now, she is family.
In Part 1: Chapter 1 – After the Flood (1957) all we get is the introduction those familiar with the mini-series will already know.
It has been roughly 14 months since Nasty Gal has started now and it needs to expand. Question is, who is going to take this 24/25-year-old seriously?
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.
