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.

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.
