The Gifted is set in an alternate timeline after the events of X Men: Days of The Future Past. Mutants publicly co exist with humans but the mutants are still hunted by the police and treated as second class citizens and its premise follows the Strucker family. The father, Reed (Stephen Moyer) is a mutant prosecutor while the mother, Caitlyn (Amy Acker) is a nurse. They have a daughter Lauren (Natalie Alyn Lind) and a son, Andy (Percy Hines) who are both mutants. Things go south when an incident at a school dance brings out Andy's powers and prompts Lauren to reveal her previously hidden powers. This becomes a serious problem for the Strucker family because they immediately have to go on the run from the government's Sentinel Services, an organization with the aim of capturing mutants. Reed desperately seeks help from Marcos (Sean Teale), who is part of the mutant rebellion.

The pilot was pretty good and the performances from the cast was excellent. The pace is intense enough to keep you excited from the beginning of the episode till the end. The plot seems very predictable and the whole "being hunted down by the government" gave me a Beauty and the Beast Vibe. Compared to the pilot of Inhumans, this is better. I want to see more of Acker because she really didn't do much in the episode. This sort of story line isn't the type that keeps the audience interested for a long time. After one or two seasons, it might get annoying. Nevertheless, I loved the premiere and I'll definitely be sticking around to find out how the rest of the show goes. The first season is going to consist of ten episodes which will air every Monday night.

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
