This Is Us- Season Two Premiere Recap "A Father's Advice"

Image via NBC.com
It's safe to say no one should watch an episode of This Is Us without a box of tissue close by, because it'll definitely come handy in at least two scenes. The NBC show returned Tuesday night with its second season and it was as emotional as every other episode. Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Toby (Chris Sullivan) get into an argument over who should take care of Kate (Chrissy Metz). She interrupts by reminding them that she's a 37 year old woman who is more than capable of taking care of herself. We'll get more of Kate as she continues to grow and develop herself as a singer, just like her mother. Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) is also having difficulties coming around to the adoption but she ends up suggesting she and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) adopt a child that is already grown and not a baby. 
Rebecca-"...He pushed a stranger on me and that stranger became my child and that child became my life. He became you."

In the first season, a lot of viewers were itching to know how Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) died and they didn't waste any time giving us a hint in "A Father's Advice". The final scenes of the episode reveals Rebecca (Mandy Moore) driving to the Pearson home which had been consumed by a fire. Kate and Randall are in tears at Miguel's (Jon Huertas) house while Kevin is making out with a girl (probably a young Sophie) and isn't aware of the fact that his father had just died. This show is very good at dropping very little clues and we might not know what really killed Jack or how he died till a few more episodes or maybe the end of the second season. It's possible that Jack died in the fire but why does Rebecca have his things in her car? In the first season Kate said her dad's death was her fault, how does she fit into this? This Is Us is one of the best shows on TV right now and they continue to bring their A game with the amazing acting from the cast and the way they make all the flash backs work. It's not an easy task but their story telling is epic and I can't wait to see where this season takes us. Welcome back to the emotional ride guys!

"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...
