With a focus on a relationship between a child who was abused and experimented on her whole life and an old man who is likely to teach her what love and affection is, we may need to prepare for a tear jerker which has just a taste of action.
Thirteen Reasons Why: Season 1 sets an almost impossible standard for what may follow. For YA novels, Netflix has presented an adaptation which is no holds barred and barely snips away at anything. In fact, it does what many don’t think to do. It fleshes out the characters who we heard about in the books, and makes…
![Thirteen Reasons Why: Season 1/ Episode 13 “Tape 7, Side A” [Season Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)](https://wherever-i-look.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/7.png "Thirteen Reasons Why: Season 1/ Episode 13 “Tape 7, Side A” [Season Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) | 7")
Through 13 Reasons Why, you get to understand both the cause and effect a person’s suicide has. As well as how and why some may consider it selfish, as well as why others considering it the last, and eventually only, solution.
Big Little Lies, honestly, ends in an anti-climatic way. If only because the whole “Who killed who” reveal isn’t impactful nor the reveal of who has been bullying Amabella.
What can eventually break someone? What ultimately kills the flicker of hope? One can ask all these questions but to see it happen to someone, f— heartbreaking. That set of words is not powerful enough. No words are. Trigger Warning: Hannah is Raped by Bryce This Episode
Do you want something beautiful? A teen romance like you haven’t seen awhile? Do you want something tragic? Something which won’t just lead to watery eyes but maybe a little bit of snot? Well, that is what you get in Tape 6, Side A – Clay’s tape.
Did you ever wonder what happened to low-key, hopefully, fan favorite Jeff? The guy who, alongside Tony, pushed Clay to participate in life? Well, prepare for your answer.
Everything all leads to Bryce. The reason for so much of Hannah’s troubles all have his name involved. Yet, even with what is noted in this episode, with everyone refusing to go after him, what can be done?
As the show continues, it becomes more difficult to remain loyal to Hannah and demonize the people who contributed to her demise.
Clay is losing his mind. He is seeing images of a dead Hannah, hearing things, and not in the privacy of his room but in public. The guilt is weighing on him so much he turns back into a vigilante and seemingly is ready for the truth to be revealed. Trigger Warning(s) Image of Hannah…
More and more we see how often people avoid doing something when they could of and the show leads you to reflect on how many things you just watched, ignored, or avoided just because it would have required effort you weren’t willing to expend.
You know, it amazes me how you can separate yourself from a show for a few hours, and then be put right back in your feelings when you start it again.
Granblue Fantasy comes off pretty much by the books in terms of story and almost a bit dated when it comes to art style. Leaving you very little reason to commit to this series unless you need background noise for your Saturday afternoon nap.
Perhaps one of the most hyped and internationally known animes have returned and it just picks up from the last episode as if there wasn’t a multi-year gap in between.
Remember the need to look for that red flag in the last episode review, yeah, now it is time to grip it as Clay is getting thoughts of being a vigilante.
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.
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.
