The Affair: Season 1/ Episode 1 "1" [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview If the dramas on ABC were allowed to be rated MA, due to sexual content, and were a little less overdramatic, then The Affair would certainly be on the Sunday night lineup. Review (with Spoilers) When it comes to Showtime and other premium channels, pretty much what you pay for is a channel without…

Quantico: Season 1/ Episode 1 "Run" [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview While Quantico gets points for diversity, unfortunately, its attempt at being mysterious, or a thriller, don’t catapult the program to make it stand out amongst the fall premieres. Trigger Warning(s): Suicide Depiction, mentions of 9/11, and post Terrorist attack image on Grand Central Terminal

Mozart in the Jungle: Season 1/ Episode 1 "Pilot" [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Mozart in the Jungle takes what you’d think would be the uptight world of symphony players, and presents an edge to change your viewpoint. Review (with Spoilers) Thus far Amazon’s foray into original programming, in my opinion, has been clunkers. Most of them seem like subtle rip-offs of more popular shows, but with Mozart…

The Expanse: Season 1/ Episode 1 "Dulcinea" [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Initial Thoughts Though not a huge sci-fi fan, and perhaps one of the only things sci-fi related on this blog are Orphan Black and a handful of anime, I must admit there is something about this series. Be it because it has the diversity many crave when it comes to futuristic programming, or because it…

Good Behavior: Season 1/ Episode 4 "Your Mama Had A Hard Night" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview The focus is on Letty’s relationships, or lack thereof, with her family and old friends. That and how as much as she may seem like the root of her own problems, that isn’t 100% true. Review (with Spoilers) After a whirlwind of information in episode 1, it was nice to have an episode rooted…

Girl Meets World: Season 3/ Episode 17 "Girl Meets Hollywood" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Katy returns! But it is without Shawn. Add onto that, it is a slightly sappy episode with an eye roll inducing plot. Review (with Spoilers) Perhaps one of the unfortunate things about Girl Meets World isn’t so much it is on the Disney channel, but it never learned how to balance Disney Channel styled…

Queen Sugar: Season 1/ Episode 11 "All Good" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview The importance of a connection with another human being, especially one which is dependable and trying to do right by you, is such a beautiful and strengthening thing. Though it isn’t always stable and with that comes fear. Review (with Spoilers) I honestly don’t think there has been an episode yet that hasn’t left…

Insecure: Season 1/ Episode 6 "Guilty as Fuck" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview As the titles of the episode become the best way to summarize each one, so begins the need to side eye both Issa and Molly. Review (with Spoilers) Perhaps the most interesting thing to come out of this year’s quality Black television is the varied views and conversations which previously were rare occurrences. For…

Westworld: Season 1/ Episode 7 "Trompe L’Oeil" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview While most of the plot follows the trajectory you expect, then comes a truly shocking moment. Review (with Spoilers) Perhaps for the first time since this show started, I was honestly shocked by something. There was a moment, naturally toward the end, when you realized that a lot of things aren’t what they seem…
