It’s a (mostly) Elena focused episode and we get to see her reach a personal high, and low. Meanwhile, Lila deals with Marcello’s advances.
Lila and Elena continue to take diverging paths and Elena may have finally reached a point of breaking away and getting ahead.
As Elena tries to find ways to keep up, maybe surpass Lila, she comes to a point of realizing that girl is in a league of her own.
We jump to the teen years and as the girls get a taste of being seen as women, neither one seems fond of what that brings.
Lila continues to face adversity and yet despite being born poor, a girl, and being a girl who is headstrong, she continues her arduous journey.
The cast and characters of the HBO program My Brilliant Friend and a brief description of each character and their story (with spoilers).
While My Brilliant Friend overloads you with character introductions, the leads keep a tight enough grip for you to not end up lost.
In season 3, Issa finally has real stable growth as Molly continues to seem stagnant. But, when it comes to their friend group, they’re dealing with growing pains of a different kind.
Insecure season 3 doesn’t end with a bang but, like past seasons, Issa finds herself distancing more from the show’s name and into a good place.
With no response from Nathan in over a week, Issa is starting to lose it. As for Molly? Well, it seems she is just hell-bent on isolating herself.
As Issa continues to show growth, and Lawrence remains a nasty ho, Kelli has a real moment like Tiffany did in the last episode.
Tiffany, who is pregnant; Molly, who is stressed out from work; Kelli’s crazy ass; and Issa take drugs at Coachella. What’s the worse that could happen?
In the civil rights era, and before, it is easy to forget it was more than a Black and white issue. There were also those who didn’t fit in either box. June gives a glimpse of their story.
While the first case of Miss Sherlock may not be much of a hook, Yûko Takeuchi as the legendary detective compensates for that.
Remember how Molly said she was on some “Know better, do better” s***? Seems Issa is taking up that mantra as well.
Sharp Objects, once it gets into its groove, reminds you why mini-series make for the best method to do book adaptations.
Just when you think Issa and Daniel could be gearing towards something, he gets in his feelings and throws a cluster bomb.
We learn who killed Natalie and Ann, in spectacular fashion, as well as how and why? Leaving you overwhelmed and surely pledging your undying loyalty to the killer’s actor and Gillian Flynn.
Issa finds herself in a place where her voice and abilities are valued and while unfamiliar territory, she is getting comfortable with people taking her seriously.
As all signs point to Adora, there remains the question of – not why she did it, but more so how?
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.
