The Blacklist Mid Season Finale- "Ian Garvey"

WARNING!! MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
  
 Okay guys! I'm still in shock from watching that finale and still struggling to accept what happened. At the end of the fourth season of NBC's The Blacklist, Reddington lost his resources and his relationship with Liz was finally revealed. This season, there was a little bit of tension between the father in-law & son in-law duo, Red & Tom as the latter tried to find out the truth about a suitcase of bones handed over to him by Mr. Kaplan. They both have a very weird relationship which panned out throughout the episode. Tom gets shot, Reddington tends to his gunshot wound, Tom goes off with the suitcase and Red tries to find him, again. Even with the flashbacks, I didn't expect Tom to be gone this soon. For some reason, I felt he was immortal because he has been able to get himself out of the worst situations. In this episode alone, he survived a gun shot to his shoulder before giving up in the hospital after being stabbed multiple times by Ian Garvey. Who is this guy? 
     I missed Tom on The Blacklist after he left to be with family in The Blacklist: Redemption and I was so glad that he returned to the show only to have him gone again, for real this time. There's also a 10 months time jump and Liz was in a coma for that period of time. You could literally feel Red's happiness when she woke up.

    After Red tells her about Tom's death, the episode ends with her in tears as he tries to comfort her. The fact that they showed Tom in the morgue cleared out every doubt about his death. If they didn't do that, I would think was alive somewhere. Ryan Eggold was at his best in this episode and you can't deny the fact that he's a phenomenal actor. The writers are simply trying to play out the mystery of the bone filled suitcase and I'm honestly going to be pissed if the reveal isn't as good as the expression on Tom's face when he looked at the DNA results. Tom would have easily told Liz what he found in the DNA results while they were on the phone but no, they had to meet at the house. Now that Tom is out of the picture, Reddington has no reason to tell Liz about the bones. The lies told by Red are honestly becoming a bit tiring because it's affecting the characters and their relationships in terrible ways. Now that Tom is dead, maybe they'll have a few changes which will be better for the show. I'm going to really miss Ryan Eggold's character and I'll be looking out for the actor in the future. When the show returns, we'll find out how his death will impact Liz and if she'll be able to get over the tragedy. Ian Garvey is obviously going to be a real problem for Reddington and I can wait to see how it plays out. The Blacklist returns in January 2018.

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.
