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.

"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...
