Chicago Justice: Official Series Premiere-"Uncertainty Principle"

Image via nbc.com
After the cross over episode "Fake", I knew for sure Chicago Justice was going to easily become one of my favorites. It has definitely won me over again with this new episode "Uncertainty Principle". One of our favorites from the Chicago PD's Intelligence Unit, Kevin Atwater is arrested and charged with the death of a young man he arrested. This is obviously a huge conflict for Antonio who finds it hard questioning Atwater and arresting him. He's still extremely loyal to his former work family and seeing Atwater in trouble doesn't sit well with him. It was obvious Atwater was innocent, he's such a good person and would never do anything to hurt anyone intentionally. If it was Voight, then I'll probably question the whole situation because Voight sometimes encourages the use of violence as a means to an end. He even tells Antonio that if Atwater killed Justin, then he deserved to die. 

ANTONIO: "What if.."
VOIGHT: "What if Kev killed him?"
ANTONIO: "Yeah"
VOIGHT: If Kev killed that son of a bitch. that son of a bitch needed killing."

Kevin is in a tough spot, he feels like he betrayed his people and isn't sure if the way he arrested the victim led to his death. He is represented by Paul Robinette (Richard Brooks) and he os able to get a plea deal for Atwater and at this point, I felt Kevin was going to prison or they would probably continue on Chicago PD but Antonio came to his rescue. He finds out that the victims cell mate, Adrian Carrera left part of the story out. He unintentionally killed Justin Wilkes because he refused to give him a cigar. Atwater is set free and Stone apologizes to him in court. It was refreshing seeing some of the faces I loved from PD like Platt, Burguss and Voight. I don't think i'll ever get tired of seeing them. If this is how most of Justice's episodes are going to be, I don't think it's a bad idea. It's obvious that Antonio and Stone are probably going to have more issues in the future, especially when it has to do with the Intelligence Unit. Stone is just like Antonio from what I've seen in the last two episodes, he's a straight shooter and doesn't like to break the rules.

Antonio definitely has to decide where his loyalty lies, he's no longer with the Intelligence Unit and now with the State Attorney's office, but his loyalty to the Intelligence Unit will probably never die. I didn't watch Law and Order but I can still understand Chicago Justice, so even with the similarities and connections, it's still easy to connect the dots. Through out this episode, the issue of racism was addressed. An African American cop is accused of using excessive force on another African American, this is a very interesting direction because most shows would go with the White Cop shooting an African American.

The basketball scene with Antonio and Atwater was one of the best scenes. It was so raw and you could see how bad Kevin felt about the whole situation. He was no longer on the same side with Antonio. I'll love to see more of Paul Robinette because he seems to be the only one who has a personal relationship with Stone. There's definitely more to see concerning Stone's relationship with his father and I can't wait to see how it plays out. This was a good episode for a premiere and I look forward to more from Chicago Justice. If you love legal drama's like me, then add Chicago Justice to your list.

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

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...
