Big Little Lies: Season Finale- "You Get What You Need"

Image via vulture.com
When Big Little Lies premiered, I wasn't too excited about the show. I felt it was going to be dull but they proved me wrong. Big Little Lies focuses on motherhood, infidelity, domestic violence and divorce. I've been waiting since the premiere for the big reveal and I was really shocked to find out who was murdered and the identity of Jane's baby daddy.Celeste's husband Perry had beaten her before they left for Trivia Night and she had been making plans to get a new house and divorce him but just before they left the house, he sees her realtors call come into her phone which only means more trouble for her. I initially thought Jane's story wasn't related to any of the main characters but it was not the case. It turns out Perry was the same person that raped her years ago.

 The grand climax the show had been building up to involved all the leading ladies of the show Madeline (Reese Witherspoon), Celeste (Nicole Kidman), Jane (Shailene Woodley), Bonnie (Zoë Kravitz), Renata (Laura Dern) engaged in a combat with Perry (Alexander Skarsgård) who was beating up his wife Celeste. Bonnie, who had been watching him through out the night pushed him off Celeste so hard he fell down the stairs and died. This final scene was so deep that all the doubts I had about the show disappeared. This scene was executed perfectly. I still hated the regular interview cutaways, it wasn't relevant to the show and it became really tiring to watch. They didn't go into much detail about what happened after Perry's death but all the ladies were able to lie to the police about what happened. The incident definitely brought the ladies, who were previously at each other's throats together because the final scene shows all the ladies and their kids playing on a beach.

This show was laced with so much mystery that I couldn't even predict who should die or who the killer would be or how the whole scene would play out. One of my favorite characters was Celeste, Nicole Kidman played this role with so much grace and it felt so real. I'm a little bummed out that Zoë Kravitz's Bonnie didn't get more screen time. This show just goes to say that underneath all the seemingly perfect marriages, big houses and extravagant parties lies dark secrets. I don't think a second season is needed here. What else do they want to show us? They might just ruin the show for a lot of people.

"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...
