In “The Fever,” we catch up with Lila, whose life continues a downward spiral as one of her demons catches up to her.
In its long-awaited return, My Brilliant Friend focuses on Elena, Lila’s name haunts every conversation and accomplishment.
Alongside seeing how things end for Fez and Ashtray, we see the end of Lexi’s play and the aftermath of her putting a mirror on everyone’s in her life.
It’s time for Lexi’s play, “Our Life,” which features her side of her friendship with Rue, her take on Maddy, and a gratuitous homoerotic scene featuring Ethan as Nate!
Alongside a Fexi moment, Ethan and Kat finally have that conversation, Nate reminds us he is his father’s demon seed, and Ali comes back in the picture and engages Gia.
In a Rue-focused episode, you get what likely will be Zendaya’s next Emmy submission.
It’s the moment of truth for many as their suspicions are confirmed, or they find themselves no longer able to live a lie.
Alongside getting Cal’s backstory, Rue heads to a place where even Ali can’t seem to reach her.
In an episode semi-focused on Nate, he and Maddy question if they deserve good things, and they may not be alone in pondering that.
Season 2 starts off right with what fans wanted in season 1 – an episode focused on the origins and life of Fezco and Ashtray.
Through a sometimes-dizzying number of time jumps, viewers get closure about where Issa and her friends end up in life, together, and in their relationships.
What’s supposed to be a going-away party for Tiffany and Derek gets interrupted by Molly and Issa’s exes encountering who they are with now.
As a HUGE opportunity comes Issa’s way, so comes the question of what life will be like whether she does or not?
A girl’s night in allows everyone’s favorite friend group to check-in, and over drinks, advice, and confessions are shared.
With Issa’s personal and professional life in turmoil, will this mean her taking a step back? Also, can Molly handle being away from her family, for work, during what can be her mother’s final days?
A health crisis tests not only Molly and Issa’s relationship but Issa and Nathan’s, which seems to be in a better than expected place.
While not an entirely Nathan-focused episode, we are presented another opportunity to see how people live when not in Issa’s presence.
It’s an episode solely focused on Lawrence and Condola during their son’s first year and them working out how to co-parent.
It’s the final season, and there isn’t any fan service, but there is what long-term fans need.
The White Lotus may not hook you from the beginning, but with its murder mystery and after some characters escape your preconceived notions, it gets better.
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.
