Billions: Season two Premiere- "Risk Management"

Image via showtime.com
The last season of Billions ended with Bobby taking down every bit of Axe Capital, searching for surveillance devices that may have been planted in the walls. Just before "The Conversation" ended, Chuck walked in to gloat, even though his career and marriage were at on the brink of collapsing.
"Risk Management" continues with Bobby and Chuck's conflict but Bobby is having more problems with the investigation on he and his team. His actions in the first season have come back to haunt him. Bobby re-builds Axe Capital and this time, the employees can't go in with their phones and must undertake security checks before going into the building. Wendy left Axe Capital with her five million dollars at the end of the first season and now, plans on working for a rival firm. She entertains a visit from Bobby but refuses to go back to Axe Capital.

During the first season, which was amazing, I felt they showed us everything we could see about the show, but the show runners have a way of keeping you hooked. The second season premiere was very compelling and even though the major story line still revolves around Chuck and Bobby at each other's throats, I was honestly engrossed and wanted to know what was next for both of them.

The performance from the cast was amazing as usual. The best thing about Billions is the captivating dialogue between the characters which makes it stand out from every other show on TV. I'm a little uncomfortable with the fact that Lara Axelrod played by Malin Akerman doesn't get to feature in many scenes and when she does, they don't really seem crucial to the general story line. Bobby waving his hand for the lights to go out at the tracks clearly signifies that he controls whatever comes his way, just as long as he has his money. It's obvious that these two men are very committed to bringing each other down and would do anything to achieve this goal. Billions continues to be an amazing show and the premiere is good enough to make you stick around for the next episode. Season two premieres February 19 on Showtime.

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson.
