The Blacklist Season Five Premiere- "Smokey Putnum"

Image via tvfanatic.com
    So much went down at the end of the fourth season of The Blacklist including the fact that we now know for sure that Reddington is Liz's father. It was also revealed that Mr. Kaplan was Liz's Nanny when she was a child and she swore to her mother that she was going to protect Liz with her life, and she did. Mr. Kaplan waged a war against Red after he shot her and left her for dead when she helped Liz fake her death. Mr. Kaplan had one last stand off with Red but instead of getting arrested, she jumped off a bridge so she is presumably dead. In "Smokey Putnum", Reddington doesn't seem bothered about the fact that his empire was up in flames and the fact that he's broke. But we know how he is, he's very clever and he always has a plan. It was fun watching Liz and Red work together again as a father and daughter duo and the tension between them isn't as much since she found out about his identity as her father.

She agrees to help him rebuild his empire in order to bring more blackliststers to the FBI. Two things that made me really excited about this season of The Blacklist was the fact that the whole father/daughter secret was finally out in the open. It was dragged on for so long and it would have been a shame if they brought it along this season. I'm also really excited about the fact that Tom Keen is back! He's in possession of a suitcase filled with bones and I'm itching to find out more about those bones. He wanted to tell Liz about the suitcase but changed his mind when she says Reddington is her father. This is a bad move Tom because at the end of the day, Liz is still going to find out. Why not just tell her now and save yourself the stress? The final scene contained a flash forward of Reddington shooting Tom and I got a bit confused. I really don't want to believe that they'll kill Tom because he's a very important part of Liz's life but you can never tell with the writers of this show. I'm a huge fan of Tom so I'm really hoping Reddington just shot his legs and not any other important part of his body. 
   Agent Ressler has also gotten himself into something really messy with Prescott, the cleaner he called for help. Ressler is the type that doesn't like breaking rules but I can see him doing a lot of that in the future for Prescott. "Smokey Putnum" was a good way to start the fifth season, it was not too dark and it set the tone for what we should expect in the coming episodes.
And aren't we all glad Samar and Aram are finally dating?! They look so good together!

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 ...
