This Is Us Mid Season Finale- "Number Three"

Add caption

I get emotional every single time I watch an episode of NBC's This Is Us. It's a phenomenal show with an amazing cast that always leaves you wanting more after every episode. Season 2 has been such a ride and even though we still don't know how Jack dies, focusing on Kate, Kevin and Randall in the last three episodes have been awesome. The 2 episodes leading to this week's mid-season finale were darker and more emotional than the others. The story lines are getting more complex and real. So far, they've talked about racism and addiction. Kevin's episode was where Justin Hartley really showed his skills and I couldn't get enough of him. That episode alone deserves to get him an Emmy nomination. In last night's episode, Jack & Randall visit Howard University and Randall is excited to be around people like him but is a little embarrassed to introduce his father to his friends. Jack calls him out during the drive home and Randall tells him that he always feels conflicted because he's black and the rest of his family is white. Beth and Randall also had to give back their foster daughter Deja to her mother and this riled up so many emotions because they had become so attached to her. They had plans to go to court and present a case about how Deja's mother isn't ready but when Randall sees the connections between Deja's situation and his own with William, he changes his mind.

Kevin has certainly gone through a lot this season with his drug and alcohol addiction which got him arrested at the end of the episode. When I found out that Randall's daughter was in the car, I thought Kevin was going to have an accident but he was stopped by the police instead. Kevin has hit rock bottom and I hope he'll be able to get through this phase soon. Kate's episode was equally heartbreaking and loosing her baby was a shocker for me. I really did not see it coming. I don't think I was comfortable with the fact that she got over it so quickly. Why not let her deal with it. Having a miscarriage isn't something that people get over so easily and I wish they explored this story line with Kate & Toby. The question of Jack's death is still looming in the air and I hope they clear it up in the finale next year. We know he died in a fire, we just need to know how and when. I'm confident that when that time comes, the writers are not going to leave any stone unturned. This Is Us is one of the best shows I've seen so far and I can't wait to see where they take us when they return next year.

"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...
