This is us: Season One Finale- "Moonshadow"

Image via deadline.com
This Is Us had a good first season and to be honest I wonder what they'll do next season. I feel like they'll eventually run out of things to do or say. I have never been annoyed that a character did not die, but I felt that way after watching the finale "Moonshadow". Everything the writers did this season built up the audience to prepare for Jack's death, but they surprised everyone by doing something totally different. This is Us was an emotional roller coaster and I was let down a bit after that finale, I expected more. This season, Randall found his biological father, found out his mother, Rebecca, knew about his father but refused to tell him,  Kevin reunited with his ex wife, Kate got engaged, Randall lost his biological father and quit his job. I cried a few times during this season, especially when it had to do with Randall.

The fact that his adoptive mother knew about his biological father and refused to tell him even after he asked a bunch of times was just sad; and then after he finds his father, he doesn't spend a lot of time with him because he dies from Cancer. It's just a very sad story. Randall's story line could be a show on its own. I was ready to empty my tear ducts during Moonshadow, but it wasn't the case. They ended up telling us how Jack met Rebecca and juxtaposed it with how they separated. Which means we're definitely going to see more of Milo Ventimiglia's Jack Pearson next season. They'll probably kill Milo's character when the audience least expects it which only means more tears. Moonshadow didn't feel like a season finale but I have a few questions after watching; Will Jack and Rebecca get a divorce? Were they together when he died? The episode focused entirely on Jack and Rebecca, showing the other cast mates at the end of the episode.

The "Big Three" also have big decisions to make. What's going to happen to Randall now that he quit his job? Will Kevin remarry his ex wife? Is there really going to be a wedding with Kate and ...? Kate wants to become a singer? I wonder how it'll go. Randall also wants to adopt a child, this is going to be interesting to watch. The only part of the episode that made me sit up was the scene where Jack and Rebecca screamed at each other. It felt so real and really hard to watch. It was very smart of the writers to put Jack and Rebecca's first meeting with their separation in the same episode. It was a good episode, but not good enough for a finale. It was a bit dull. Nevertheless, I'll still follow this family and their issues next season. I'm sure it'll be an emotional ride.

"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...

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...

Snowfall Season One Finale Review- "The Rubicon"

   There's no denying that this season has been intense for the four major characters and everyone around them. The first season of Snowfall was all over the place but the by the 8th episode, I was convinced the writers finally got their thoughts together. The pilot episode was good and I felt this was a show I was going to fall in love with, but it became a struggle to watch after the third episode.  They got my attention back after Leon was shot in the final scene of the 8th episode. Franklin got himself into a very dangerous business which I still think he hasn't fully realized. He wants to hustle hard and make sure he's mom doesn't have to bother herself about anything, but she's disappointed when she finds out about her son's extra curricular activities. The neighborhood knows that he's the boss and he's really all about the money.  Damson Idris brings his character of Franklin to life and I couldn't see anyone else playing this role. He's ...
