Better Things: Season 2/ Episode 10 “Graduation” [Season Finale] – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
It’s Max’s graduation and perhaps the parting lesson Sam gives her is about consistency and a reminder of what love is.
It’s Max’s graduation and perhaps the parting lesson Sam gives her is about consistency and a reminder of what love is.
During a trip to Canada with her kids, a family secret is learned about from Sam’s uncle Lester.
Pray for Sam everybody. For between Xander’s dad Arnold and Frankie, she may actually lose her mind – if she didn’t already lose it.
After a blackout, Jeff and Sam head on down to the store to buy a generator. Which leads to her running into Robin.
In a change of pace episode, we’re shown what it is like to be in acting alongside a reminder of how much Sam means to her kids. Sam and Frankie anyway.
While Phil has always been mean-spirited and quirky, something is seriously wrong now. To the point, Sam isn’t sure if she can handle her anymore.
As Sam is trying to talk herself into breaking up with Robin, Xander shows up and reminds her why she fears love.
Could Sam have really found love? May the title of this show, Better Things, no longer be wishful thinking but actually here?
In this episode of Better Things, it seems the idea is: Sam is only a mean person if you give her reason to be a mean person.
Better Things returns and Sam’s house is in a bit of disarray. Though, as I’m sure Sam would say, “What else is new?”
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…
Legion continues to question why should it ever be like any comic book adaptation you are used to? Why can’t it be weird, trippy, and a bit of a mind f—?
Once again Legion shifts the way it handles its story to keep us on our toes and perhaps guessing what is the undisputed truth when it comes to David’s life.
If you are familiar with the Ryan Murphy brand, there is nothing new here. On top of that, there isn’t that usual excitement which comes from his new projects. It’s simply just another anthology series cashing in on someone else’s story. Like a Lifetime production with better writing and notable actors.
Legion decides to, in chapter 4, bring on a air of mystery. Present the type of reveals you can’t be confident but with that they get the gears in your head turning.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) I had serious intentions of dropping this show. Between my usual Thursday movies, The Quad, anime, and soon to be Greenleaf, Thursday was packed and spilling over into Friday, sometimes Saturday. Yet, while The Quad I’m still uneasy about, this show keeps getting better and better. So it may be time…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) Legion tones down the quirkiness and leaves that almost strictly to Lenny. Thus allowing the show to take a more serious tone in developing not just David, but this organization and world he has been recruited into.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) This is a show about a young man named David who hears voices, sees people who aren’t there, and deals with the type of delusions which make you wonder if what he sees, and we see, are real. All the while, there seems to be something very anti-mutant going on and…
Overview In the pilot, you’ll get a decent amount of story and 0 laughs. Review (with Spoilers) Being someone who wasn’t born, much less allowed, to watch Martin Lawrence during his heyday of being one of the top comics of the 90s, but watching a good portion of his work, it makes his return to…
Overview Van returns and she takes Earn to a fancy party. A fancy party featuring rich Black people who could provide her some kind of opportunity. Here is hoping she gets one cause bills need to be paid. Review (with Spoilers) I often have, well at least as of late, mixed feelings about this show….
Overview One quick and easy way for an entertainer to make money is to go to the club. However, between the club owner and Alfred learning that he isn’t that big of a draw, the usual drama ensues.
Overview In a way, the show is like a female version of Louie with the exception that Pamela Adlon is less socially awkward and she has three daughters instead of two.
Overview Alfred is the sole familiar face here as we are introduced to the BAN network, their commercials, and the political talk show known as “Montague.” Trigger Warning(s): Episode contains Transphobic and Homophobic Conversations
Overview It’s the birth of a new series and strangely, it’s a dramedy. Which is surprising in a good way for it makes it feel like Atlanta is bridging the gap between the comedy star Donald Glover is known for and the rare, non-soap opera styled depiction of not only Black people but issues which…
Overview Episode 2 arguably isn’t about pushing the story forward or featuring its stars. It is more so about establishing the people the stars live around and their environment. For whether it is normal people who get arrested for just drinking on their porch, trans folk, or kids acting out what they hear on rap…
Overview “Go For Broke” arguably is about fighting becoming broke. For in the pursuit of dreams and all your ambition, there are bills to pay, children to feed and, in Earn’s case, a woman to try to not lose the respect of. Though, little by little, even if she loves him, his inability to compromise…
Overview Al, as has been seen, is a sensitive soul, a bit thin-skinned, but until this episode, we didn’t know how bad it was. Some online semi-famous person gets under his skin to the point he has to confront him. As that happens Darius and Earn go out because Earn needs some kind of money…
Overview In a largely Vanessa focused episode, we see the struggles she is going through compared to her friends, and partly thanks to Earn.
Overview Atlanta has its own unique quality of weird. Be it what Darius brings with his stoner persona, Earn who is the one with so much potential who hit rock bottom and is trying to climb his way back up, or even Al who is the man who, most of the time, is all bark…
Overview With the exit of Jessica Lange seemingly comes more attempts to draw your attention with the grotesque and shocking, rather than with compelling characters or an interesting story.
Overview The Freak Show comes to an end with massacres and happy endings, but is the end of the season a blessing, or does it leave you wanting more? Topic 1: Freak Show Massacre – Dandy Topic 2: A Happy Ending For Some – Jimmy, Desiree, Bette & Dot Topic 3: A Bittersweet Ending For…
Overview As the freak show comes upon its final performances, a lot of the members are forced to leave. Topic 1: Massimo Dolcefino (A Tale of Love, Revenge, and Carpentry) – Elsa, Massimo, and Jimmy Topic 2: Justice Before Dawn – Desiree Topic 3: Constant Owner Turnaround – Chester, Dandy, and Elsa Review (with Spoilers)…
Overview Neil Patrick Harris’ character Chester comes to the show, and shows not all freaks can have what makes them so physically seen on the outside. Topic 1: Poor Jimmy – Dell, Jimmy, and Amazon Eve Topic 2: Meet Chester – Chester Topic 3: Time To Get Your Hands Dirty – Dandy, Chester, and Elsa…
Overview As we focused on the abandoned, and especially Pepper, the season has a rare moment of heart. Topic 1: I’m Going To Be Happy – Desiree Topic 2: Save The Freaks – Maggie & Desiree Topic 3: Everyone I Love Keeps Leaving Me – Pepper & Elsa Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Overview All hell breaks loose as the show begins to no longer slowly descend into mediocrity, but hits the gas and dives off a cliff. Topic 1: The Dead Watch – Dell & Jimmy Topic 2: The Twins – Elsa, Stanley, Bette & Dot Topic 3: I.Am.God – Jimmy & Dandy Review (with Spoilers) –…
Overview As we encroach slowly on the freak show’s end, we lose one act and gain another. Also, Dandy claims another victim as Regina comes to visit. Topic 1: We’re Not Going To Take It! – Desiree Topic 2: A Bed Time Story – Elsa Topic 3: Goodbye Mother – Dandy & Jimmy Review (with…
Overview Stanley finally gets a body, as Elsa deals with a rebellious freak show. Review (with Spoilers) In “Test of Strength” it seems things may slightly get interesting. For while Dell may not be a savior, he certainly makes for a better villain than Elsa. However, with Stanley as the puppet master, perhaps he is…
Overview As the freak show goes on, one of the actual freaks step out of the background. Review (with Spoilers) The season continues its decline and seems to not even desire to be seen as interesting. For as Dandy falls for the twins, Elsa deals with a sort of rebellion, and Dell and Desiree have…
Overview As Dandy takes over as town serial killer, Stanley and Dr. Bonham get people’s hopes up. Trigger Warning(s): Dismemberment Review (with Spoilers) After the death of Twisty, unfortunately it seems “Pink Cupcakes” neither has American Horror Story: Freak Show plateau or continue to rise. For with the compelling villain gone, and a weak replacement…
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.
