Overview As people start getting attached to Carter, she finds herself making some feel pushed away. Perhaps for good reason. Review (with Spoilers) There is such an odd complexity to this show, if just because like Switched at Birth on ABC Family, there are very few people who you can see rooting for, and justifying…
Overview Lose a daughter, find a stranger Review (with Spoilers) As you can imagine, finding a Skins alumni on a new show is a big deal. Especially when it was one of the actors who played one of your favorite characters. So imagine MTV, who really are improving with the shows they green light, hiring…
Overview A film focused on the long goodbye to a parent who fought as long as they could. Trigger Warning(s): Deals with death of parent and children with cancer Review (with Spoilers) With top billing belonging to Amy Adams, the familiar face of Jessica Brown Findlay from Downton Abbey, and a sad topic which seemed…
Overview As David Whele pushes to create a power struggle in Vega, Alex takes a walk down memory lane Review (with Spoilers) Even after watching Legion I still am sort of iffy on this show, but don’t necessarily think it is bad. It sort of reminds me of the odd sci-fi shows of the late…
Overview As word of Alex being the chosen one gets downplayed by the big names in Vega, Gabriel seems to be the only one to take this reveal seriously. Review (with Spoilers) At this point I think angels are basically being used, as well as a concept of god taking a vacation, in a slightly…
When a movie is a hit, it makes studios think it garners a sequel. But Think Like a Man Too is the epitome of why too much of a good thing is bad.
Overview A reminder that all demons were once angels. Review (with Spoilers) I should probably begin by saying I did not watch Legion prior to seeing this, but will likely soon so I have a full grasp on what is happening. For, as of the pilot, I am finding this show a tad bit odd…
Overview Welcome to the end of an era, and the start of something likely less stable. Review (with Spoilers) After so many beloved characters dying this season, it makes even the series changing one which comes in the finale something which you hunch your shoulders at. But, with us getting in touch with most of…
Overview After “A Whole Other Hole” you may have wanted Rosa’s backstory, well here it is. Review (with Spoilers) Because Rosa has always been the sick one in the background during the first season, I never took much note of her. She was just there like an extra. This episode though made her become one…
Overview In this story of two brothers, one a cop and another a convict, you get what seems like a Martin Scorsese inspired movie which lacks stars but tries to emulate his storytelling. Trigger Warning(s): Rape like circumstance Review (with Spoilers) It is amazing to me how a film starring such actresses like Marion Cotillard,…
Overview If you enjoy Robin Williams showing that not only is he past his prime, but desperately trying to relive his glory days, watch this. Review (with Spoilers) I’m not exactly sure what happened to Robin Williams over the years which made him so difficult to watch. Have directors just stopped trying to do their…
Overview The season finale mostly gives you what you expect to happen, with little to no surprises. Review (with Spoilers) 13 episodes over one weekend. The backstories of Taystee, Poussey, Vee, Suzzane, Red, Rosa and Gloria, as well as others who really weren’t that interesting. But, even with Sophia being largely absent, these women really…
Overview We’ve almost reached the end of the line and if there is one thing that should be noted in this episode: Never, ever, trust Vee. Review (with Spoilers) As you can tell by now, Vee pretty much took whatever significance Sophia had, among others, and damn near stole the season. Arguably she is only…
Overview When people don’t show humility, bad things happen. Which even when you pray, sometimes can’t be avoided. Review (with Spoilers) If you recall season 1, the reason why the girls all came together, despite racial differences, was because Mendez was such a bully that he had to go. But, one thing they couldn’t do…
Overview With a 2nd Piper episode comes a rehash on her relationship with Alex, but luckily the episode is saved by Red and Vee’s continuing issues. Review (with Spoilers) I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for Vee and Red’s little back and forth, and all the people they bring into their drama, this…
Overview Another episode which may feature one character, Red in particular, but Vee finds some way to make sure she shares the spotlight. Review (with Spoilers) With Mendez’s return you probably expect him to cause a lot of BS, but in fact it is Bennett that causes issues. But, for the most part, the focus…
Overview Black Cindy is the focus of the episode, as is Red’s resurgence and Vee’s new booming business. Review (with Spoilers) In “Comic Sans” there is a strong focus on everyone trying to find some way to cope and deal with their situation the best they can. For some, like Cindy, it is with laughter;…
Overview With the focus being on Valentine’s Day and Poussey, we witness love and its complications. Review (with Spoilers) With many prisoners leaving lovers behind, it makes Valentine’s day a bit of an awful holiday. But while the prisoners surely hate the day, so do the staff as well. They feel just as much prisoners…
Overview As racial divides worsen, so does the overall condition of the prison. Review (with Spoilers) I am 5 episodes into this marathon and still haven’t gotten bored. Though I must admit I find it so odd how Sophia has been virtually absent on the show, especially considering Laverne Cox’s profile probably benefitted the most…
Overview We discover the truth about Christopher as Red seeks to reestablish herself, as does Vee. Review (with Spoilers) I don’t know why I don’t remember season 1 having this format of which it features one specific character as everything else goes on. Be it because the featured characters of season 1 appealed more to…
