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.

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 cried for two episodes straight) which means

Review- Who's The Boss (2020)

Directed by Chinaza Onuzo, "Who's The Boss" follows Liah (Sharon Ooja) , an Advertising Executive who struggles to climb the cooperate ladder while juggling her mean and vindictive boss Hauwa (Funke Akindele- Bello). She takes the advice of her best friend Jumoke (Ini Dima-Okojie) and enlists her friend Lekan (Blossom Chukwujekwu), a known play boy into posing as her boss but ends up falling for him. It doesn't get any more cliche than this. After watching the first teaser for the Inkblot comedy, I was a little intrigued and looked forward to seeing how they were going to pull it off but sadly, it fell short in more ways than one. The biggest issue I had was the lead character and the actress cast to play it. Ooja has been typecast and I thought seeing her as the lead would show us a different side to the actress but my perception of her acting skills are worse than before. There's nothing worth remembering about this story and her acting did nothing to el
