Shameless Season 8 Premiere Recap- "We Need What We...Frank!"

Image via tvline,com
   I've been a huge fan of Shameless since its premiere in 2011 and after the roller coaster that was last season, I was really anticipating its return. Last season, Kevin and Veronica lost their bar to Svetlana, Lip is working on his sobriety and working two jobs and Fiona bought an apartment building. They all inherited a bag of crystal meth from Monica's stash after she died last season and Carl is helping his siblings sell the drugs. Fiona buried hers and Liam's share of the meth with Monica's body and by the beginning of the episode, she's telling Lip how much she wants a real man and is done with having meaningless sex with men from tinder. Fiona is now a land lady and she's trying to get her life in order. She has really come a long way and I'm glad she's finally winning.

Frank is always up to no good but it seems like smoking half of Monica's meth and giving the rest to the needy made him a better person. For now, at least. Throughout the episode, he made amends with the very long list of people he had wronged. His children are very confused and I'm wondering how long the "new Frank" is going to last. One sibling I really want to get his life in order, is Lip. He has gone through so much with Karen and her baby, Mandy, getting expelled and his drinking situation. He still has feelings for Sierra but she's trying to move forward with her son's father. He even offers to babysit her son while she goes on a date. He really wants to drink but instead, he runs all the way to his professors house to pay him back the money for rehab.

     Ian is also not over Trevor. He keeps going to the Youth Center to catch his attention. Trevor hasn't completely forgiven Ian for what he did with Mickey. Noel Fisher as Mickey was one on my favorite characters and I actually miss seeing him on the show. Carl got himself a hot tub with the meth money and even though he's moving drugs, he still follows his military schedule. Debbie is now a very hard worker, juggling two jobs and going to welding school. She's finally growing up and I hope she doesn't do anything to mess everything up soon. Meanwhile, at his private school, Liam is always getting pulled out of class so they can flaunt him as part of their diverse environment. Kev and V are still trying to get their bar back from Svetlana. She changed the name to "Putin's Paradise" so V called the ICE on her. I'm so sure we're not seeing the last of Svetlana, after all she's In the US legally.  During one of Kev's escapades at his job in the gay bar, one of the clients notice a lump in his breast and a doctor confirms that he needs to get a biopsy. I'm really hoping Kev doesn't get bad news because he already has so much on his plate. It's amazing how Shameless has stayed relevant after 7 seasons. I always look forward to a new episode and it never gets boring. The show is nearing its end and I really hope it ends with everyone's life on the right track. I just hope Frank doesn't dig out Monica's coffin to get the meth Fiona hid. New episodes of Shameless air every Sunday 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 c...

"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.
