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.

"Who Killed Julia Montague?"- Bodyguard Finale

BBC's Bodyguard has been one of the most satisfying series I've seen so far, this year. Over six episodes, they delivered a Limited Series that kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was next for Richard Madden's David Budd. David meets up with Julia's PA, Chanel, who was fired in the first episode because he was suspicious of her involvement in the bombings and he was right. She had a hand in it. Chanel set David up and he ended up getting ambushed and kidnapped by the leader of the criminal group, Luke Aitkens. The police are finally  able to piece the puzzle and they findd out that the ex-soldier who tried to shoot Julia was David's friend and this raises an alarm. They're convinced that Budd was indeed behind the bombing. Budd wakes up alone and realizes that he is strapped to a bomb vest with his thumb taped to the activating button. He is unaware that he is currently being investigated by the police and uses someone's phone to call for...

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...
