Was, or rather is, Alex really the ass that Hannah paints him as? Is Justin such a bad guy? It seems just like they didn’t know the effect they had on Hannah’s life, Hannah didn’t know how terrible their lives were either.
As it becomes established that the series’ goal is fleshing out other people perspectives and how they are dealing with Hannah’s death, much less the tapes, you learn to appreciate the changes.
Sorry about most of the quotes coming from Instagram. Next month I plan to have them all be text only. Best Of Remember that everyone’s individual experience is going to be different. From the day we are born we are building or reality, like a house. Some of our houses will be further along than…
Though there are a few minor changes, mostly which are understandable, Thirteen Reasons Why starts off with things being very close to the book. Well, with the exception of us getting to experience Hannah with our own eyes and perhaps Clay not being as much of a saint.
Despite this being the season, and likely series, finale, there is no end to the exuberant amount of time talking strategy with very little action or development of the characters. Pretty much, it is a new episode and the only thing that has changed is who the enemy is.
Legion, in a similar way to Mr. Robot, you don’t want to say sets a new standard for then it means everyone would copy it. Instead, all you can do is praise the fact Marvel decided to break the formula and put a little special attention and care into this project. Thus leading to the…
Sadly, in the last episode of the season, that is when The Quad seems to finally get its footing. In that, we see the perfect balance between everyday struggles of being in college or working at one, with the unfortunate soap opera drama people seem to crave.
You know, considering I watched the anime and, outside of maybe Pan, no movie with a whitewashing controversy has been good, I should have probably skipped this. Well, let me warn you so you don’t waste however much it costs in your area.
With many animated series, there isn’t a promise of a second season and often they aren’t setup for one. So with the focus of this finale being closure, without any shocks or what some may consider a happy ending, we are met with a slightly polarizing end. One which sort of follows that old saying:…
Poor Lady Mae. All her children, in some form or another, make it seem that she only thinks of herself. Of her reputation. But really, with one son working for the competition, a daughter who nearly brought the whole family to their knees, and the youngest’s marriage seeming suspect, can you blame her for being…
As assumed, Rebel is a modernized version of the foregone Blaxploitation era vibe. One in which a Black woman is the law, has a complicated relationship with it and pretty much is more complex than any female action hero that quickly comes to mind.
While the wait was so long I damn near forgot how I was playing out Javier’s story, god it was so satisfying to be back in The Walking Dead universe. Play Through Time 1 Hour and 25 Minutes
There was a time when I believed Netflix could do no wrong. Yes, some of their shows I didn’t appreciate, but they didn’t release anything which was crap. Now, I’m not saying this movie is crap but I do feel as much as Netflix is redefining what it means to be a VoD release[note]Formerly known…
For those of you familiar with the movie Major Payne from the 90s, imagine all the comedic elements stripped and Payne being part of a reform school. This documentary strongly resembles the hardline efforts you might remember in that movie as various men and women try to not only give these young cadets second chances…
As someone who primarily watches western media, the idea of a film which tells the history of a Muslim majority nation and shows its characters as lovers, the oppressed, and allowing us to see how they fought for their freedom, is rare. So rare I could not help myself and had to watch this. Though,…
What becomes clear this episode is that you should never underestimate the power Terrence holds. For even if he is playing nice with you, it is all part of some grander plan.
Maintaining a healthy and happy relationship with your spouse and children is hard. Just like marriage, raising a child depends on compromise, defying expectation and sometimes what you thought was normal, and constant adaptation. For love is precious yet can be fleeting. Especially when abuse, miscommunication, or irreconcilable beliefs are put into the equation. With…
Awkward, quirky, and cringe-worthy has become a norm for female comedians. It is like Black comedians telling jokes about white people. It pretty much has become the basic go to. However, in Fleabag Season 1, you get the sense that while Phoebe Waller-Bridge is likely embellishing and making up a few things she has gone…
Introduction I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting out of Aoharu x Kikanjuu, but what ultimately was delivered was something less than what I desired. Which isn’t to say the show is bad at all, for this wouldn’t be the truth. However, between Tachibana falling for Masamune, slowly but surely; the mock gunfights; and…
Something you’ll notice off the bat with Skins “Rise” is that unlike “Fire” and “Pure”[note]Of which I lost the review for but it honestly seems like a disappointing arc, based on the comments below[/note] the tone of the arc isn’t even remotely similar to what we are used to. For “Rise,” everything feels like a…
When I originally read Thirteen Reasons Why it was 2012. I just discovered who John Green was, at the time, and with me consuming his books, one after the other, I wanted more YA novels to read. So I came across this book and with it noting, in the Amazon reviews, “Thriller-like pacing” and…
The first part in this sort of epilogue for the Skins series begins with us seeing one of the most popular characters Effy as she leaves the madness behind and begins venturing into adulthood. The 1st episode, within itself, almost seems like a spin off more than a continuation as we watch the ever femme…
As Jacob leaves the house and transitions to becoming a member of the Triumph community, he leaves a church and home still reeling from scandal and seemingly not bouncing back anytime soon. [note]After Legion and The Quad end their season’s, this will likely be posted earlier than Saturday.[/note]
As the war comes toward what maybe the end, Tanya realizes there maybe an opening left which could ruin everything.
Fuuka ends its meandering storyline as you’d expect and thus ends a show which had promise but then lost its path.
Kuzu no Honkai continues to focus on the growth and development of Akane and delivers quite a storyline. Though, it does leave you to wonder, how will things end for the two young lovers we begun this journey with?
Saban seems to have taken note of what made Marvel studios so effective with their properties and adapts their formula for the Power Rangers.
As we come upon the season finale, you’d almost think there were preparations being made for a happy ending. You’d be horribly wrong, though.
While Cecil remains the lifeline of this show, we continue to be eye-roll inducing melodrama when it comes to Cedric, Eva, Sydney, as well as BoJohn.
When it comes to limited release movies, there is always the question of if they are worth the extra cash required to see them. To go to NY to see a film like this, it almost costs as much as the actual ticket. But with it coming locally, and me being a Kristen Stewart fan,…
The 2nd special which premiered on Netflix doesn’t up the ante or maintain the quality of the first, but it’s good enough that the desire to complain is minimum.
I’m very conflicted on how this ends and not because of how great the ride has been, but because of who is waiting for us at the final stop. (The killer is revealed below in the footnotes)
Charlie lays out a full and compelling confession, but something is up. Something doesn’t make sense and Kato, Alexander, and Schneider are trying to piece together what.
After the “Meh” Trevor Noah special and Amy Schumer’s which was, like a cheap knockoff of a brand name comedian, Chappelle redeems Netflix’s comedy lineup with “The Age of Spin.”
Best of It’s interesting in our culture […] our parents are already concerned about us being hurt or irreparably scathed in some way by life so they teach us how to manage and deal with failure, but no one teaches you how to manage and deal with success. – Keegan-Michael Key It’s easy to keep…
As it is learned that Sophie and Leon’s body were handled the same way as Kato, the amusing thought of a serial killer that was brought up before becomes something credible.
Everything was fine and dandy, and quite normal, but then the last 5 minutes really shake things up in a way where the reveal of who shot who gets completely forgotten about.
When you got a formula which works, in which you can just change the actors (physically but keeping similar personalities), tinker with the storyline, and make something new, you use that! That is what Ryan Murphy has been doing for years and with Lee Daniels really gaining a lot of commercial notoriety with Empire, that…
Emerald City is one of those shows where you can see so much potential. However, it never focuses on the stronger aspects of the show. Characters/ actors with better stories and charisma are relegated to second-tier roles. Meanwhile, the top billing characters/ actors struggle under the weight of expectation and are crushed by it as…
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.
