The Gifted Season One Premiere: "eXposed"

Image via ign.com
    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.

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...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
