As a 25-year-old Black dude, meaning I’m Sutton’s age, who watches shows of which I’m probably not the aimed for demographic, it can be weird. Only because sometimes folks don’t get it. Why would someone your age watch Andi Mack or even something like The Bold Type? Well, it is because we live in an…
The Bold Type continues to present a different voice for the young woman. One which brings on the different thoughts, dreams, fears, and personality types without necessarily feeling like tropes. For there is a serious effort by the writers to present real people with layers and complexities and not some mindless guilty pleasure.
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.
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.
In this episode, we begin down that “You’ve changed” road when it comes to Paige and Nina is bending over backwards as Alan threatens her job and she has to deal with one of Jordan’s issues.
Even with new actors introduced, there is a slight struggle in getting through the episode. Especially since there isn’t that one character, yet, who presents a silver lining.

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) Like most season finales, outside of maybe Game of Thrones, we don’t end things on a high but a fizzle. For while we finally get to know what those weird faceless things are, many of the other things revealed below are either frustrating or just too convenient. Trigger Warning(s): Maggots

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) Despite Charlie’s absence, we get a nice, though likely to be short-lived, addition in Lydia. Who with Holden going into another coma/ flashback, helps balance out what we are well used to bring the show down. Trigger Warning(s): Blood | Open Wound
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) All I can say is, I wish I didn’t have work tomorrow for I have finally gotten excited about this show.
Overview As Charlie introduces herself to Holden and begins another love triangle, we go deeper into the past of Arthur and Dr. Frost.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) As one character seemingly exits, another enters. Though it is the truth about Arthur which matters the most and how Holden reacts to his first memory of Willa.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) As things get worse for Arthur, and Kevin’s body is discovered, it becomes more and more clear the battle for Holden is going to be personal and life altering for those in his life. Trigger Warning(s): Blood

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) Perhaps like many, one of the first shows that made me a loyal viewer of FreeForm, then ABC Family, was Kyle XY. Since then the network hasn’t had too many sci-fi shows in their primetime lineup. Fantasy shows, yes. But sci-fi dramas? Not so much. So with Believe you have to…
Overview Despite lackluster trailers, the premiere episode of Recovery Road sets things off to a good start and most of the alterations made for the book’s adaptation to the silver screen are mostly welcomed, and understandable, changes. Trigger Warning(s): Conversation about Rape and depiction of potential domestic violence.
Introduction Being that I pretty much give damn near anything ABC Family puts out a chance, well their dramas anyway, naturally I had to look into Stitchers. Plus, with the show having a compelling preview in front of many of the films I see at AMC, I especially felt pushed to check this out. With…

Overview With a failed movie already based on The Mortal Instruments, there now being a TV series leads you to wonder why someone out there sees something within this franchise worth saving? Especially to the point of switching formats and getting the opportunity to cover many things which a movie naturally has to cut. Enough…
