Suits Begins a New Chapter Without Meghan Markle & Patrick J. Adams

   When it was announced that Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams were leaving Suits, I was really bummed out because I truly loved their story line and wasn't ready to see the it end. I kept wondering how Aaron Korsh and the writers were going to come up with story lines to keep the viewers as invested as they were during the last seven seasons and adding Katherine Heigl to the cast didn't make me feel better. But, after seeing the eight season premiere, I have a different opinion about this new chapter and it's a good one.The season picks up right where we left off last season with Harvey and Robert Zane having a conversation after Mike and Rachel's wedding reception. They discuss the firm and the next steps to take concerning the Managing Partner position.
   During the course of the episode, we're introduced to Heigl's character, -Badass-no-nonsense-lawyer-who-cleans-up-Zane's-mess- Samantha Wheeler and before the end of the episode, she succeeded in getting into Harvey's office without his permission and telling him to kiss her ass. Feisty right? I was a bit skeptical about Heigl but after seeing the episode, I think she's going to do a great job with her character. There's obviously going to be a lot of rivalry and drama in Specter Litt, sorry Zane Specter Litt and a lot of them are going to include Samantha. It's also very obvious that Robert and Harvey are going to butt heads a lot in the forthcoming episodes. We all know Harvey loves getting his way and with Zane as Managing Partner, that would be a serious problem. For some reason, I'm excited about Amanda Schull's promotion to series regular and I'm loving her new found friendship with Donna.
   Heigl's Samantha is going to shake things up this season with Alex as her rival. They don't know it yet, but they're fighting for the same position of Name Partner. Kind of like Alicia Florrick and Cay Argos in the first season of The Good Wife. It's been seven seasons, I think it's time for Donna & Harvey's relationship to grow to something better. They kept teasing and teasing a relationship only to bring us back to where we started. Suits is one of those shows that I've never gotten tired of seeing. I'm still very invested but I'm hoping they wrap it up soon before they lose viewers and end up getting cancelled. I honestly enjoyed this season's premiere and I'm excited to see what's in store for these characters. A new episode of Suits airs Wednesday, July 25th.

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 cried for two episodes straight) which means

Review- Who's The Boss (2020)

Directed by Chinaza Onuzo, "Who's The Boss" follows Liah (Sharon Ooja) , an Advertising Executive who struggles to climb the cooperate ladder while juggling her mean and vindictive boss Hauwa (Funke Akindele- Bello). She takes the advice of her best friend Jumoke (Ini Dima-Okojie) and enlists her friend Lekan (Blossom Chukwujekwu), a known play boy into posing as her boss but ends up falling for him. It doesn't get any more cliche than this. After watching the first teaser for the Inkblot comedy, I was a little intrigued and looked forward to seeing how they were going to pull it off but sadly, it fell short in more ways than one. The biggest issue I had was the lead character and the actress cast to play it. Ooja has been typecast and I thought seeing her as the lead would show us a different side to the actress but my perception of her acting skills are worse than before. There's nothing worth remembering about this story and her acting did nothing to el

They all board the helicopter and are taken to Deepwater Horizon. At the rig, there's a lot of talk and conversation about the condition of the rig. Caleb Holloway (Dylan O'Brien) and Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg)  The BP executive, Donald Vidrine (John Malkovich) doesn't support the tests ordered by Mr. Jimmy and some of the employees including Jason Anderson (Ethan Suplee), Caleb Holloway (Dylan O'Brien) and Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez) are also very concerned about
