“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…
Some time ago I said that the only reason I would head off to NY for a movie is if I was absolutely sure it would be worth the trip. Needless to say, I didn’t think The Beguiled will be worth it. Especially since, in a rare indie showing, it became local to me the…
It’s the infamous mass shooting episode and, honestly, it kind of disappoints.
Okja, at its heart, is more so about the food industry and animal rights than about a child and her dear pet.
As has been seen since the beginning, SukaSuka tries to make up for its low points with violent high points. But this time, it actually nails having an emotional series of moments so that we get a complete and cohesive episode.
I don’t know about you, but that Rolling Stone quote “Baby Driver is beyond F***ing awesome” was not what made me wanna see this. If anything, it was a red flag. However, the romance between Baby and Debbie seemed cute, and the car scenes seemed beyond what we recently saw from The Fate of The…
Despite Mo only being acknowledged by text message, we are not without entertainment in “Shut It Down.” For between lesbians fantasies, more drama in Nina’s relationships, and Maxine wielding her power, there is something for everyone. Plus there is Kibby vs. Maddie. Something you don’t wanna miss.
Season 1 of GLOW comes to an end with the queen of the Federation crowned. But, somethings regarding the characters go unresolved.
With money low and seemingly it all over, the ladies of GLOW try to salvage this thing. Meanwhile, Sam gets some life changing news.
It’s a bit of an emotional episode for everyone. Sheila gets to feel like one of the girls, Debbie has dinner with her husband, Sam goes through a breakup and someone has an abortion.
The first matches of GLOW happen and while not without some problems, at least no one gets injured.
Debbie struggles to find a good rival, Ruth looks to be an authentic Russian character and Justine learns why it isn’t the best idea to meet your heroes.
Though Alice to Zouroku’s finale is as boring as the last few episodes, the ending has a sweetness to it. Especially the final moments which may bring you to tears.
As GLOW seems less like a dream and more of a reality, Debbie finds herself needing to get serious if she is going to the star of this thing.
GLOW refocuses on the yet to be developed characters and takes a keen interest in Sheila, Carmen, and a little bit into Tammé.
In case you were wondering who and why someone would finance Sam’s all women’s wrestling federation? Well, you get your answer.
You Get Me isn’t as bad as you may have assumed. However, it will likely end up just another random title on Netflix in time.
What The Bold Type presents is what FreeForm is known for mixed with what made ABC Family great. It has FreeForm’s obsessive need to feature modelesque attractive young people. However, it also contains ABC Family’s ideology of pushing past the superficial and present stories and characters its viewers will become loyal to.
Unfortunately, after Sota’s confession, we return to Meteora delivering a long explanation of how things work and what’s to come. Which, while informative, may bore you into a nice nap.
Andi Mack’s season finale leaves us with a lot of hope for better things. Mostly when it comes to the various relationships in the series.
What hooks you as being a look into the Gawker v. Hulk Hogan case evolves into a warning message. A very familiar one not just about the elites bullying the press, but how Donald Trump is poison to the American democracy.
The war begins and humanity is nearly massacred. Thus leading Charoice to bring out the device he likely stole from the gods for a counterattack.
Glow is still struggling but is getting better. Mostly thanks to Cherry becoming more prominent as well as Melrose.
Glow doesn’t seem like a sure fire hit. If anything, like its wrestling theme, it’ll fit a niche. As for whether it is a big enough niche for Netflix to make another season? Well, let’s check out the rest of the season before saying that.
What are the rules of Black culture, much less the exceptions for white people saying the N-word? Said topics make for a weak episode, but I suspect the shooting one was supposed to be the peak before mundane topics.
Grieving isn’t something just for the dead. A loss of innocence, relationships, these are worth mourning over. But from the dead, the richness of once was life, blooms something new. Something we see quite a bit of in “To Usward.”
One of the hardly arguable highlights of Black media returns. And, as always, you find yourself smiling because of the family dynamics, crying tears over certain struggles they have, and end up triggered as well. To say the least, Queen Sugar remains an emotional roller coaster ride that as soon as it is over, you…
In Gomag City, where most of the lives Willem knew ended, Chtholly is triggered. Thus sending us into some flashbacks which answer, or clarify, a handful of things. Mostly in association with Willem.
If I was to be perfectly honest, I kind of want to drop this series. Yet, there is something which keeps me coming back. Maybe it is its potential? Perhaps the majority of the cast? It’s sort of hard to say, even with all that is noted below.
Resident Evil: Vendetta shows why the long-running franchise, while respected for longevity, is always met with skepticism.
In this coming of age story, a boy named Jack finds himself going from survival mode to potentially getting to a place of enjoying the life he was given.
With a reminder that children have feelings and perhaps how Sana came to be, the penultimate episode of Alice to Zouroku leaves you without excitement for the finale.
After dancing around, if not outright avoiding the topic, Sota finally goes into his part in Shimazaki’s death.
It was hard to not take an interest in The Book of Henry. It begins with you thinking this will be a love story between yet another child genius and a girl from a less than stellar home environment. However, then it evolves and you realize the kid is a psycho and he plans to…
Bex’s influence continues to change Andi into a more confident person. Leading her to make a decision no one would expect. Especially Jonah.
The gods have had enough, and they believe El can turn the tide. So with Charoice refusing to bend the knee, so comes a declaration of war.
And so Crashing comes to an end which arguably can work as both a season and series finale. Even though one semi-major question is left unanswered.
Sam topples a slew of dominoes leading to a massive fight. Alongside that, Colin makes a discovery which rocks his relationship with Melody.
Rough Night delivers on the laughs but pretty much flops story wise, character development wise, and its heart is as mechanical as Dick Chaney’s.
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.
