"9-1-1"- Pilot Review

Image via imdb.com
     The new FOX Procedural Drama created by Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, Feud) and Brad Falchuk (American Horror Story, Glee) explores the high-pressure experiences of police, paramedics and firefighters who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations. They must try to balance saving people with solving problems in their own lives. Immediately I saw the trailer for 9-1-1, I knew I had to see it. I’m a sucker for Procedurals and this one stars a few actors I love, including Angela Bassett and Peter Krause. Is it just me or is there something about Peter Krause? I’ve loved him since Parenthood and I’m excited to watch him again in this FOX Drama.

     Connie Britton (Nashville, American Horror Story) stars as Abby Clark, a 911 Operator who balances the stress of taking care of her sick mother and identifying the fake or real callers from the hundreds of calls she gets everyday. Angela Bassett plays Field Sergeant Athena Grant whose family is far from perfect. She and Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) often find themselves in the most dangerous situations and together with their team, must find a way out of them.  Other cast members includes Oliver Stark (Into The Badlands), Aisha Hinds (Shots Fired, Underground), Kenneth Choi (The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story) and Rockmond Dunbar (Prison Break).

    The Pilot episode introduced us to the major characters and it was so intense, gripping and pretty fast paced which makes the entire episode very entertaining. There’s never a dull moment. If you prefer shows that deal with the courtrooms, this isn’t for you. In 9-1-1, we only get to see how the first responders save the victims and get them to the hospital or the jail, we don’t get to see what happens after that. I loved the pilot, but I think the script could be a lot better. There are a lot of cliche dialogues which made it feel like shows we’ve all seen before and I know Murphy and Falchuk could do better. It still feels like something is missing and I hope they find it in the coming episodes. I’ll be following this show closely and I’ll keep you guys updated.

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. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
