How To Get Away With Murder Season Four Premiere - "I'm Going Away"

Image via abc.com
     The episode begins a few months after Wes' (Alfred Enoch) death and this is a totally different route from the usual murder and court room filled season premieres, this is more character driven. It was revealed last season that Laurel's dad hired a family friend, Dominc, to kill Wes but the reason is still unknown. Annalise invites Connor, Asher, Michaela and Laurel to a dinner but there's a flashback to show how we got there. On her way to see her family on a redemption trip, Annalise meets a man on the plane, Desmond, played by her real life husband, Julius Tennon, and they hit it off. She almost has sex with him but ends up backing out. She also deals with the fact that her mother's dementia was on the rise and they had to take a look at a home for her. We see a totally different side of Annalise and together with Cicely Tyson, they deliver award worthy performances. Connor declines Oliver's proposal while Michaela and Asher go mattress shopping.

     When they finally arrive at the dinner, Annalise tells them that she will still be able to be a lawyer, but she fires all of them. Everyone is surprised and angry except Connor who thanks her before leaving the restaurant. This will obviously not be the last of this group because somehow, they always find a way to come back to each other and the only thing that can bring them back is M-U-R-D-E-R or maybe in this case, a kidnap. Bonnie isn't left out of this, Analise also hands her a letter of recomendation. Bonnie is heartbroken and doesn't want to leave, but she has no other choice. She goes over to Denver and I can't help but feel betrayal oozing from Bonnie. Flash forward to three months later and Laurel is in the hospital with Frank telling her that her baby is gone. She's screaming hysterically and asking Frank "Where is the baby?".  
     Annalise's therapist is definitely going to have something to do with the mystery this season and now that Laurel knows her father killed Wes, does that mean he has something to do with her missing baby? There's so much mystery with Laurel's family and I would really love to get some answers. This episode is very calm for a HTGAWM episode and it's something I really appreciate but I have a feeling things will eventually get crazy as the episodes keep coming. Welcome back guys!

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
