Episode 8 is a flashback episode. One which takes us back to 2007 before Marty and Del started working together.
Reconciling is often about making peace with something or someone. However, as shown in this episode of Daytime Divas, it isn’t always good to have a reunion.
As Marty figures out a way, thanks to Wendy, to get the remaining money he needs, Ruth and Charlotte come to the edge of a breaking point.
It’s a lot of what we are already used to in “The Science of Love” to the point it is hard to say the story is moving forward.
Two girls leading two separate lives. Charlotte is just focused on a cute older boy while Ruth is trying to be just like her daddy. Just without ending up in jail.
Insecure returns and Issa is still recovering from Lawrence walking out on her cheating behind. But she is “Hella Great” otherwise.
Marty finds religion… as something to exploit to meet his goals. Meanwhile, Ruth is given a bit more responsibility in Marty’s enterprise.
As everyone tries to gather allies, we are reminded it is not the number of allies but the quality of generals and soldiers that win battles.
Marty begins making power moves which upset the local order. All the while, the FBI tries to make friends with the Langmores and Wendy is making some moves of her own.
While it is shown no beast can handle Ernie and his upgrade of the Silhouette Knights, as for if the boy can handle the betrayal of his fellow human being? That is up for debate.
We continue this origin path by learning of the Princess’ first mission, as well learn about Beatrice’s tragic past.
Ozark continues to get better as Ruth’s family plays a bigger role, a potential love interest seems possible for Marty, and the FBI land in Ozark.
Ozark makes a positive turn as Julia Garner shows up, we see these rural people ain’t stupid, and Marty shows he isn’t a complete ass.
I honestly feel at this point, and as shown by Karandi of 100 Word Anime forgetting the show in her Best and Worst anime of Spring 2017, this is a show good only because it is consistent. It may not be the top action anime, may not have the best romance or drama, but it…
Raven returns to Disney in Raven’s Home and while the formula is mostly the same, there is some adaptation to the more mature direction Disney is going.
Ozark is not going to help the Netflix criticism of it focusing more on quantity over quality. However, there is this sliver of hope that when Julia Garner comes around [note]Hopefully in episode 2[/note], she can save this dull as cardboard show.
If I may sort of rant, I really don’t understand how and why this show doesn’t get major accolade notoriety. For while, I get, as a Black person, we should uphold the NAACP awards, maybe BET awards, and all that, it isn’t like all of your peers recognizing you, you know? Plus, with this argument…
The Carmichael Show follows up on follows up on what happened in the “Morris” episode and reminds you that Cynthia has not forgotten that big reveal.
Kizumonogatari ends more so with a whimper than a roar. For while the fight scenes are quite epic, and the ecchi we are used to is there, something is missing. Of which I can only believe is its heart.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt right? Well, in Netsuzou Trap’s case, someone possibly gets raped.
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…
As always, the guest to The Lunch Hour shake things up. But, this time around, it isn’t just the people on the dais who cause trouble and drama for Maxine and company.
I can’t remember where, but recently I read something to the effect of Netflix being the new HBO. Something which Castlevania adds fuel to. If only because, while gloriously violent, like some HBO shows, it is rather thin in story.
Screw whatever Scum’s Love comparison I made. Koi to Oso (Love & Lies) may have some similarities, but it is much lighter and can be jaw dropping without sexual content.
Game of Thrones remains perhaps the only show which can be more than 3 seasons in and still entertain its audience.
With Ernie defeating a behemoth, so comes the question of what is next? Well, revolutionizing the Silhouette Knights of course. Which definitely brings some unfriendly eyes.
Well, consider me sold. A quite intriguing detail is revealed this episode and now I’m so hooked on seeing how it unfolds.
With the way things seem, don’t be surprised if the Gods and Demons join forces to rebuke Charioce and the humans he represents.
The end of The Defiant Ones brings us the rise of Eminem, more name dropping, then how Beats by Dre became the phenomenon that it is. Thus leaving only how the money from that Apple deal was spent for the ending.
When does a vice become a problem? Is domestic violence something to be less serious when a woman hurts a man? How messed up is Nekeisha’s life really? That’s what gets covered in episode 8 “Intervention.”
At a certain point, Jimmy’s story stops and just merges with Dr. Dre. Thus giving Interscope it’s meteoric rise. Yet, as before, while we hear people praise Jimmy, Dre shares his spotlight with the artist he helped make into legends.
Investing in something bigger than yourself is the main focus in episode 5 “Caroling Dusk.” Be it investing in your kids and making sure they know you, know that you will consistently be there, or investing in someone else. Trying to make it so, in the long run, you can say you did more than…
It’s becoming clear Hotaru has some kind of insecurity. That alongside some form of possessiveness over Yuma.
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.
As with part 1, while Jimmy gets the privilege to name drop music legends, the more personal side of Dre competes with that. For while Dre’s time in NWA is featured, as well as Ruthless records, it is his personal life which you remember the most.
Another week, another guest star and of course all the drama you’d expect out of Daytime Divas. Of which, still, Kibby’s is arguably the best. Though Heather and Nina are getting better. I should note, however, despite Heather saying her family was moving into Mo’s apartment, she is not in the episode at all.
After the still fairly recent NWA movie, Straight Outta Compton, you might think the world was done putting the spotlight on Dr. Dre. However, there is always more to a story than even a two and a half hour biopic can cover. Especially one you are sharing with 4 other men. For it was missing…
Yukari officially meets his arranged wife and her reaction to him talking about Takasaki and revealing she is his second choice is kind of strange.
While it was one thing for Rosa, in episode 1, to make Rita question herself, with Helle and others doing so as well? It is starting to mess with her. Especially since her mom comes to visit.
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.
