Prison Break Season Five Finale-"Behind The Eyes"

Image via heavy.com
I'm a HUGE fan of prison break and I was ecstatic when news broke that there was gong to be a reboot. I was so excited to see Wentworth Miller as the iconic Michael Scofield again. When the series began, everything seemed okay but after the first few episodes, it started getting a bit predictable. I knew Sara's husband had something to do with Michael's incarceration in Yemen, it was quite obvious after episode 3. Robert Knepper playing T-Bag was something I looked forward to seeing again simple because he was one of my favorite characters. He was such a sociopathic serial killer and could murder anyone who stood in his way. I always like the bad guys in TV shows because they make everything fun to watch, but T-Bag's story line was no longer important after he takes suspicious pictures of Sarah's husband. And what was that thing with the artificial hand? I felt maybe someone would come out of nowhere and say he gave T-Bag the hand and probably demand something, but N to the O! Nothing of sort happened, it was only Michael trying to be generous because he knew he would need T-Bag's help.

 Maybe they would have used all that TV time to at least tell the viewers something about LJ and what he was doing at the moment. We necessarily didn't have to see him. I think this was a big mistake from the writers because it would have taken them nothing more than a minute to mention someone that is very important to Michael and Lincoln. Then they bring up something about T-Bag's son being Whip. How did they even come up with this story line at the end of the show? It was obvious that they were trying to redeem T-Bag's character but it felt really forced. I didn't feel anything when he mourned Whip's death. The entire show felt really rushed and I didn't see the need for the sub plots, like T-Bag's hand and his son. A lot of scenes were unnecessary, but I guess they tried to do as much as they could in 9 episodes.

With the finale, I didn't feel this rush that usually goes with watching the season (or possibly series) finale of a show. I wish Sucre had more screen time, his character was always very fun to watch. The best part about the finale was Michael's final battle with Poseidon which was very carefully executed. The final scene showed Jacob in Gen Pop at the Fox Penitentiary with no other person but T-Bag as his cell mate. This was absolutely unnecessary. T-Bag was just a pawn in Michael's entire plan. He leaves jail in the beginning after 7 years to deliver the message to Link of Michael being alive and after everything is over he lands back in jail. Why didn't Michael request for him to be let out instead of requesting that they place Jacob in his cell? I'm happy Michael, Lincoln and Sara finally get their happy ending after being on the run for so long but nothing can be as amazing as the first three seasons. Nevertheless, I loved the reboot but it needs to end here, as a reboot. There's no need for another season. But who knows, FOX might have other ideas.

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...

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 ...
