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.

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.
