Designated Survivor Season Two Premiere- "One Year In"

Image via ibtimesindia.com
It's been one year since the events of last season and so much has happened with President Kirkman. He's still trying to rebuild the capital and Patrick Lloyd, the mastermind behind the attack is yet to be arrested. Agent Hannah Wells is tracking down Lloyd in Amsterdam and she gets into it with an MI6 Agent, Damian Rennett (Ben Lawson) who's also tracking down Lloyd. Back home, The President is dealing with another crisis involving Ukranian terrorists hijacking a Russian Plane in Chicago. The plane has 165 passengers on board including an old friend of Kirkman's. The terrorists eventually surrender and all the passengers get off except Kirkman's friend who stays back to take care of a sick man. Unfortunately, the spark from the runway causes the passenger's oxygen tank to explode and they both die. Kirkman takes this very hard but is able to give a speech to his employees and motivate them, especially Seth who was almost quitting, to keep working hard.

Paulo Constazo has been added to the cast as Political Director, Lyor Boone and I won't really say there's anything interesting about this character and the way he talks. He just seems like he's going be involved in a lot of irrelevant dialogues. Hannah Wells searching for Lloyd was not exciting to watch and I got lost somewhere along the line. The episode introduced us to the new characters and it wasn't really an intense premiere but hopefully it'll kick in as the season continues. I don't know if using Lloyd as the main villain will do any good for the show, I want to see new terrorists. Natasha McElhone, who lays Alex Kirkman is departing the show to join Hulu's upcoming drama The First. "One Year In" is a decent start for the ABC thriller and I can't wait for all the twists they have in store for us, hopefully it'll be better than the last season.

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...

"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.
