USA Network Pulls the Plug on Complications




The diagnosis is in and USA Network's Complications has been cancelled after one season, reported by Deadline.

The medical thriller drama about an ER doctor (Jason O'Mara) goes through a life dangerous turn when he witnesses a drive-by shooting.

In it's first season that wrapped on August 13, when Dr. Ellison and his colleague nurse Gretchen take in more or less one set of complications behind the, by making a deal with a gang leader who had been controlling them and staging their murder of a dirty cop that looked like a gang shooting. That until a phone call came and a whole mess of problems.

The series debuted to a total of 1.9 million viewers and a 0.4 demo rating, but by the time the show ended it's run the rating had fell to 1.4 million and 0.3.

Not only did O'Mara started in the series but also Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl), Beth Riesgraf (Leverage) and Lauren Stamile (Burn Notice).

In a way, I'm kind of surprised that the series got cancelled but after Deadline reported that "there were business factors- Complications is not owned by USA, it comes from Fox 21 TV studios - that stood in the way as the network brass deemed another season not economically feasible."

For example that when USA showed two new dramas last summer with Satisfaction, that's owned by UCP, got renewed but Rush, from FOX 21 TV Studios, was cancelled.

Playing it Like it was You Last: Weekend Catch Up Pt 7

Mr. Robinson: "Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog"/"Love the One You're With"

This week's episodes of Mr. Robinson was simply hilarious that I couldn't get enough of and wanting even more.

In "Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog" has Craig dealing with his brother's uncleanliness and behavior in his apartment. So when he heard Jimmy was looking for a place to live, Craig took him on and enjoyed the nice of a clean apartment plus Jimmy bossing Ben around to do stuff. But all good things come to an end when Ben turns Jimmy into one of him and ruins Craig's apartment.

He had to get Jimmy out without breaking any rules. He goes to what Jimmy wrote in an ad for the things he doesn't like and Craig and Ben performed those in the apartment. But Jimmy saw it and told Craig that all he had to do was ask and he would have understood.

Meanwhile, Principal Taylor volunteer to dog sit her boss' dog. But when she takes the dog to his apartment the dog jumps out of the window and causing her to have everyone to help from teachers to kids. Eventually the dog was found thanks to Ashleigh and Samir, that the dog landed in the garbage truck and just in time delivers the dog back and got him clean too.

In "Love the One You're With" has Craig deciding whether if he's happy doing both jobs as a teacher and musician or that he should cut one of the out of his life. This is when he has been behind in paperwork. And when Victoria said that she has a friend that wants to see him perform, it kind of lends to a decision.

Craig decided that he was quitting teacher and that's when not only Victoria but his students put together a video to show how much they like him.  It was sweet and funny at times. Eventually, Craig did come back to do teaching and coming back having the kids perform the beat to "Uptown Funk."

I thought that both episodes were pretty hilarious. I like when Jimmy gave Ben the worries when he tells him that they were going to bunk together and to clean their rooms. Also I couldn't get enough of Principal Taylor at times, especially in the second episode where she was drunk from middle episode through.

Overall I give "You Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog" a 8/10 and "Love the One You're With" a 8.5/10

You can catch Mr. Robinson Wednesday nights at 9/8c on NBC

Suits: Mea Culpa"

After last week's blow out from Harvey on Lewis (for which I do think it's much deserved). Pick things up right after the fight were Lewis is feeling rage and upset.  Lewis goes to his voice and tells Donna to make a phone call.

Donna tries to calm him down but doesn't work.

After all of this mess, Harvey talked to his therapist about it and made a choice to talk to Lewis and open up. He did and well, let's just say it didn't go the way it did.

When Harvey came back for Mike's partnership vote, Lewis stabs Harvey in the back and ask for a vote to suspended Harvey.

Boy did that just set fuel to the fire. And Jessica wasn't to pleased at what Lewis has done. Later on, things did get settle but  I don't think for the long hull.

Meanwhile as Mike becomes the youngest partner int he firm's history, Jessica give his a case. Rachel helps Mike but when he takes a look at who the lawyer is, it's a blast from his past and he leaves it all on Rachel to do.

Rachel was put on a sticky situation and dealt with it with care and determination with the help from Mike.  Even though their secret was almost exposed about Mike not graduated from Harvard. Things were all good.

This episode was as I would say it good. I think the only thing that probably made any progress is Mike and Rachel's relationship. Seen Harvey and Lewis go on and on  and I don't get tired of it, it's my entertainment.

Overall, I give this episode a 6.5/10

Complication: "critical condition" season finale  

Holy crap!!

What a season finale (and let's hope it's not a series finale) that turn out to be.

Everything has lead to this and we finally get the answers to all.

John tries to figure things out after his wife tells him about her relationship with an old friend. Soon John decides to talk to the detectives about a deal or nothing.

Soon, Gretchen goes to check on the little boy but soon Detective Holden comes and brings a gun that was in evidence bag.  John rushes down and calls Daruis to tell him about the situation.

They race down and Gretchen tells John that the kid was in distress. John help the boy's airway and soon Holden comes through the door and shoots Daruis.

John talks to Holden and calms him down but nothing seems like things would be calming down at all. But John makes a quick move to his bag and shoots Holden. Holden is dead and also we learn that he was the guy who started the gang war.

John and Gretchen help settled the war and seems to be over. He gets his dad out of jail and return with his wife and kid to the log cabin.

Soon John and Gretchen back at work and soon he gets a call from a guy who's the owner of a cancer clinic that John destroyed a while ago. And demanded to meet him and after that we're left with a cliffhanger.

This was the best season finales, there was a lot of closer to stories and a lot of answers too. But there was that ender that I hope that there will be a season two because I think that with each season there's is a complication situation that John and Gretchen will get into.

Overall, I give this season finale a 9/10 and the entire season I give it 9/10.

Well, until next season, we hope!




Hannibal"...And the Beast from the Sea" 


Will Hannibal help Will and the FBI capturing the Tooth Fairy?

Will was so close to capturing the Tooth Fairy in last week's episode but escape. Now, looks like he wants to kill Will's family and asked Hannibal for help.

He goes to Will's house, where he poison the dogs and soon creeps in the house looking for them to kill them. Will has a smart wife with the way she keeps calm and get her son out of the house

After they escape from the Tooth Fairy, the guy look really upset. He failed to "change them" and eated himself for it as if the Red Dragon was kicking his ass.

I have to handle to Hannibal, he tries to help but deep down he really wants to mess with people from Will to Jack.

After he told the TF that they were being listen on the other line, Bloom decided to take away everything from Hannibal and that includes the toilet. Well, that probably won't bother him as all.

An upset Will talks to Lecter about the TF and his doing. We learn that he's not killing them but changing them.

This episode was pretty good. I can't get enough of the visual effects with the Red Dragon for one.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10. It wasn't my favorite but it does carry the intense drama and story telling.

You can catch Hannibal Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC

Perspective of Fear, Rage and Horror: Weekend Catch Up Part 6

Once again another weekend catch up. Here are this past week's episodes.


Royal Pains: "Lending a Shoulder" Season Finale  

In the season finale (hopefully not series finale), a life, a death and a perspective life relationships and meanings.

Hank encounters someone from his past, his ex-fiance. As Hank treats a paient that's about to get married it turns out to be Nikki. Things blow over broad when Hank thinks that it was her that caused the break up but he realizes that it was his fault.

Divya doesn't make it in time to she her grandmother but makes a life perspective when she helps save a motorist in an accident and tells Hank that she wants to go to medical school. Plus her true love comes back to her.

As for Evan and Page, as the baby was coming, you can sense that somewhere soon that the mother was going to change her mind and keep the baby. But watching both Evan and Page go through that was tough to watch.

But the ending of this episode was far brilliant and felt like a true finale when Hank and Evan watched the sunset while drinking a beer. Hank can't get over how Evan has grown so much in the past seven years of them being together in the Hampton's.

This was a really good season finale. Some laughs and a lot of really good moments that I can't say enough about.

Until next season (Season 8) or as we love to say it "next summer." Which I would think that this season eight could be the end of the series. It will make it's 100th episode and each of the characters seems to be near the end of their journey and being happy.

You can catch "Royal Pains" next summer on USA Network.

Stitchers: "Fire in the Hole" 

In this week's episode, a scientist is dead due to a virus that she was working on. But when Kristen and then gang try to find out what happen to her, things don't go the way they hope; not even on Kristen's birthday.

In this bottle episode, the gang tries to figure out the deal with the virus and the cure. The lab shuts down and one by one each member shows symptoms of the virus.

They can't get into any lab, so Camille goes inside the vents and unlock the door, but in this hilarious moment she encounters a rat and freaks out. I would too.

When hope feels lost, everyone makes a phone call to their love ones except Kristen as she tries to figure things out. Until her and Cameron talk and soon figure out that the virus can be killed by the heat.

There were some questions answered and mostly it was between Kristen and Maggie as she told her the truth about her and Kristen's mother.

Good episode, as I said there were some questions answered. Allison's character was once again hilarious. Her humor pulls off great and still reminds me of her on Warehouse 13.

Overall I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on ABC Family.

Complications: "Fever" 

Where does the line end for John? Just how far can he go doing these things and not get in trouble?

In this week's episode John is face to help a friend to get out of jail while stealing some drugs for business. When Gretchen's friend/collage is in jail and need bail money, only one guy can help but it will cost dearly to do so.

When Gretchen ask John for help, he really couldn't but when she tells him this plan she has about stealing chemo drugs for this guy, John still says no. But when John has a meeting with the guy, he not only talks to him but blackmails him as well.

John didn't want to but came up with three or more plans to get the job done but that didn't work because Gretchen likes to wing it. As they stole up to nearly ten boxes of drugs, John saw what the guy was doing and pretending to pass on fake stuff as the real stuff.

That set John mad and blows up the lab and goes into his rage again. I think he like being angry, he looks like he's enjoying it.

Meanwhile, John's wife was informed that the cop watch was going to end and freaked out that a gang car drove by slowly. When she talks to her dear friend about it, he tells her to look into what the detective has on her husband.

This episode was good. Love how Gretchen and John always argue about how they help and that it's for the same but in a different manner of helping.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Complications" Thursday nights at 9/8c on USA.


Hannibal: "The Great Red Dragon" 

It's the episode that we're all dying to see, Red Dragon aka the Tooth Fairy baby!!!

This episode started off with the introduction of the Tooth Fairy, exercising and getting his tattoo of The Great Red Dragon.

Meanwhile, we jump three years ahead in the story. Hannibal, of course, is in his special jail cell, Jack is still working for the FBI and Will is happy with his wife, son and dogs at the cabin.

As the Tooth Fairy strikes, Jack needs help from Will and pulls him back into the game. Will, who doesn't want to, decides to help on the case of this fugitive.

When Will checks out the murder scene, Will does what Will does best, vision his design and it look great. But in some why, he doesn't feel quite right about ti. Even dreaming about the murder family.

But it was at the end of the episode that Will goes to Jack and tells him that he's going to need some help, more of an opinion on the case. He wants to see Lecter and oh boy did that first meet since he was captured look great.

Also not to forget, Fredrick comes in and talks to both Lecter and Dr. Bloom. Hell Bloom had a talk with Lecter too and mostly was about Mason and how he kept his promises about Will.

This episode was great. The introduction of the Tooth Fairly was amazing well done. Hell I couldn't have wanted it either other way. Finally we get to see Will's  wife and son and not to mention Will being a profiler that he once was or is.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch "Hannibal" Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

On the Edge: Complications "Diagnosis"



This week's episode of the "Complications" was thrilling and was a non stop edge episode that totally good.

After last week's chaos of dealing with gang fights and trying to let one of them out of the hospital without anyone notice has certainly caused trouble for John. He and Gretchen treats the gang member that he help escape from the hospital. There could have been some trouble with the two but not.

As soon as John gets home from the roughest shift yet, he gets some sleep until he gets a call from Bridget who tells him that he saw him leaving a therapy room and also a bottle of morphine used. Along with the phone call the detective knocks on the door. John hangs up with Bridget and talks to the detective.

Trying to find out what happen, John tries to throw the detective off of him by telling him he has never met these gang members. After he tells him that he never seen anyone of them, the detective takes him back home until he mentions the incident from the pilot but then John did agree he saw him but couldn't think that that was the guy. That took him a trip to the station.

As the detective takes John to a private room, probably deep down in the basement somewhere. The detective starts poking around and John wasn't in the mood to talk. After what would feel like hours, John admitted to where he was in that hour he was missing and had the detective call Bridget to conform,

That did get him off the hook but as for Gretchen, she get into another hot mess. When a patient died last week, she decided to go and check on her brother. Of course, where the kid was was in another area of gang members.

As she tries to find him, she does when a guy that lives next door answers her. He told her that he's been taking care of him. Of course the kid is quiet and doesn't look up and the guy is has his hand on the kid in the creepiest of way possible.

Gretchen takes the kid away from the guy but he drives his truck behind her jeep. But when she decides to drive through, she gets stop by one of the gang leaders. She tells him the truth but the guy tells him another thing, but when the kid finally talked Gretchen takes the kid and goes.

And John leaves but his wife is there wanting to see him. But things do look fine and soon his father tries to get him to tell him what's been going on.

I like this episode. At times I was standing and watching and the rest on the edge of my seat. I really do like Gretchen and John's storyline here. It was worth an hour of television to watch.

You can catch "Complications" Thursday nights at 9/8c on USA Network.

Listening to the Lies and Cheaters for the Unbelievable Turn: Weekend Catch Up Part 5

Another week has past and so has these shows. If you missed them here's a recap of this past week's shows.




Royal Pains: "Voices Carry"



In this week's episode, Hank takes a trip to New York with Olympia, but their date doesn't go to plan. As Olympia has a League of Nations with the health summit.

When Hank meets one of the doctors from another country, he sees his assistant in trouble and helps her.

It gets weird when that same assistant, starts having a stroke during the meeting.  Hank figures it out that the cause of the stroke was that of her boss's voice.

Meanwhile, Evan finds a secret that Boris has been keeping. This is after Evan feels left out of doing the work that he is suppose to do.

Dyvia in the meantime, is dealing with three men on her own and finally gets the divorce settled but who does she want to be with?

For one thing the medical situation in this episode was great. Vanessa Williams was excellent as Olympia and both her character and Hank hit it off quite well.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Royal Pains" Tuesday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.





Stitchers: "Stitchers in the Rye"


When an former agent who runs a food truck business that was murdered, Kristen and the team found out who killed him in this very interesting episode of "Stitchers."

As the team investigates the murder of a former CIA agent, Kristen searches for what the victim did and what searches did he hide. When she sees where he kept his secret government files, the team rushes down there to retrieve it. But as Kristen takes on file, the truck was in self destruct mode and blew up.

That only left with a file that can only be used in an old Apple computer to say. Kristen remembers her past with Ed when he had a bunch of computers in the garage. She finds one and finds out that the victim had the files on the stitchers program. Talk about weird, right?

But as this goes on, weird events start to unfold, like Kristen receiving a book "The Catcher and the Rye," and receiving strange spam text messages. That would all piece together as Marta was luring Kristen and trying to take her away from the program.

This episode was probably one of it's best. There's a lot of tension between Kristen and Maggie right now and at the end you kind want to just kick Maggie's behind after talking to a mysterious person in the garage.

All in all, I give this episode a 7/10. If you are a fan of "Catcher and the Rye" you might be liking this episode as there was a theme to it.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on ABC Family.





Suits: "Compensation" 



Hell in High Water comes in the Harvey-Donna-Lewis triangle.

When Lewis tries to make things right with Harvey, he does it by standing up to Harvey when Jack proposes of the new pay structure that will have Lewis making more than Harvey. Of course, that back fires and Lewis goes out and shares Harvey's last pay statements. And after all that, things just gets heated up more and more.

Meanwhile, Rachel has dinner with her father. But during hat dinner her father gives her a prenup. This turns heads between both of them and when Mike finds out, he deals with the situation head on  face to face. Does Rachel love Mike with all her heart? Do you think that this relationship will last forever?

"Compensation" was a very intense episode. There were a lot of humorist moments. One of which, Harvey interviewing clients for Donna's replacement. Another is hearing Lewis yelling about his turf toe.

All in all, I give this episode a 8/10. The icing on the cake about this episode is that the new of the series getting picked up for a sixth season.

You can catch "Suits" Wednesday nights at 9/8c on USA.





Mr. Robot: "Eps1.1ones-andzer0es.mpeg" 



War soon to start!

In this episode, Elliot gets torn between a job offer from Evil Corp and joining fsociety  But he needs to make a decision on whether or not that his decision will to help will harm the people around him.

Watching Elliot and Shayla, I find interesting that even though she gives him the drugs, there could be something between them.

By the way, what is the difference between Blue Cross and Blue Shield? He makes a great argument of that with his therapist.

And someone's watching from the inside of Angela's place.

This episode was by far amazing. I can't get enough of this episode that I want to see more and more after it ends. Rami Malek is certainly going to get nomination for his role in this series, from Golden Globes to possibly Emmy.

You can catch "Mr. Robot" Wednesday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.


Aquarius: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" & "Cease to Resist" 

In this two episodes,, Manson recovers from a beat down from Hodiak. While Hodiak helps Shafe figure out who is tormenting his family in their neighborhood. As for the second episode Hodiak investigates a celebrity's murder.  While Emma and Sadie meet up with someone special from Manson's past.

These two episodes were good and somewhat interesting. There's been to much arguing from Hodiak and his two ladies his ex and his on and off girlfriend.

This series with each episode gets amazing and amazing every week. And I do watch it week after week. Even though I do DVR it.

You can catch "Aquarius" Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.


Hannibal: "Contorno" 


The offer of riches from Mason threatens to put Inspector Pazzi off his quest for redemption. Meanwhile Will and Chiyoh travels to Florence in search of Hannibal and of course Bloom is worried for everyone's safety.

A former girlfriend/friend Chiyoh describes to Will about how she met with Hannibal. She might have a code of not killing but it doesn't bother her.

Jake moves on after his wife's death as he dumps her ashes in the river and throws his wedding ring too.

Hell all I want to talk about is that amazing fight scene with Hannibal and Jack. Holy crap!!! Jack beats the crap out of Hannibal but in the end, Hannibal won when he was pushed off the edge of the window and landed on his feet walking away.

Now things start to get crazy!!!!

Overall, I give the episode a 10/10.

You can catch "Hannibal" Thursday night at 10/9c on NBC

Graceland: "Chester Cheeto"


This week's episode of "Graceland" Briggs tries to keep things under control with Ari Adamian. It does seem to go well at all.

And in a game changer, Charlie struggles with the decision to terminate her pregnancy.

It's a good episode. It's not how the previous one was but it's close to being an average episode with some moments that's fills you up.

All in all, I give this episode a 6/10.

You can catch "Graceland" Thursday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.

In this week's episode of "Clipped" Danni suspects that AJ is seeing Charmaine as they take a Spanish class together and in the meantime, Ben has a one night stand with a neighbor.

When Ben feels all alone after the gang leaves to do other stuff. Ben feels left out and drinks his beer, when one of the sisters next door was duping cat poop out the window. As they argued, they decided drink together and there's the phrase "Go Below" comes into play.

As for Danni, when she learns that AJ and Charmaine are taking a Spanish class together. She deals with unfinished business with him. But when AJ  got the hint about how Charmaine's hands are amazing, he checks her out while they are studying and eating Chinese food.

Charmaine does to Danni and tells her that she needs to confront the issue that she's been dealing with. Danni goes to AJ's apartment and tries to be cool with it but the tension couldn't be bare and she went at him and also had a one night stand.

Funny, dirty and some awkward moments in this episode.  Love how they use the phrase "Go Below" as a meaningful term and probably will be used.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

Seeing and Realizing Can Be Complicated and Awkward: Weekend Catch Up Part 4


Another weekend catch up on shows that I've missed watching this week but watched it this weekend. Here are this week's weekend catch up recaps.


Stitchers: "I See You"

This week's episode deals with a bit of a Rear Window type of thing when a victim is murdered by looking snooping with his telescope.

When Kristen and the gang look into it, they find that the key is whatever he was spying on. They do his spying and spot a couple of interesting and thoughtful suspects but they turned out to be not.

When Kristen returns to stitching the victim one more time, she spots a clothing store with the owner given a code by using the mannequin. While Linus and Camille are eyeing the view, Kristen and Cameron take a look at the apartment across that had the window curtains closed. They can't seem to find the room number until it was hidden beyond the wall.

Kristen finds passports and they figured that it was an illegal trafficking. As the van pulls in, Kristen and Cameron get there before he leaves and Kristen gave suspect the look suggestion just as he did with the victim.

A case of snooping where you shouldn't be snooping. This episode was fun and some what predictable at times. Like the couple that were arguing in their apartment and as they went in another room, blood was splattered on the wall.

Another thing to know about in this episode: Cameron has nightmares and is trying to prevent the events of what happen last time. It's something that he doesn't seem to let it go like Maggie.

Also not to mention that there has been a spy going in and Stitchers and out. Caused a little problem with the systems when Maggie was along. Who could this person be? Could it be Marta? Kristen's father?

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on ABC Family.



Royal Pains: "The Prince of Nucleotides"

In this episode of "Royal Pains" Hank treats a patient who happens to be transgender. When the patient suffers from DVT (deep vein thrombus), Hank takes her and treats her. On the way, she tries to be a girl and soon later realize that she has a blood disorder and can't get any of the hormonal therapy.

But when someone punches her at camp, Hank's there to help calm her down and treat her. At the end, he goes see her play that she'd choreographed  and with a little more research, Hank offered her an idea if she wants to take hormonal therapy. She agrees and hopefully her parents would agree too.

Meanwhile, Evan builds a fundraiser hoping to gets to donations to support the genetic research. But when Jeremiah's old college friend stops by, it's not just to catch up with old times.

Evan and Paige comes to thinking of adoption and met with a mother who's expecting. Soon, after an awkward meet and greet, they get a call from that mother and she chooses them to adopt her baby.  

And not to mention that Divya and Prince Quami are hitting it off quite well. Even though Divya is trying to make things workout with her child's father. She's grown closer to Quami as he is too.

This episode was well told and well written with a great message about transgender.
Vanessa Williams guest starred in this episode as a millionaire who Evan wants her donation. After Hank visits her to an appointment about sleeping pills. She also bid for a one night date with Hank, who Evan planned for the fundraiser.

Overall I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch "Royal Pains" Tuesday night at 10/9c on USA Network.



Complications: "Onset"

In this week's episode of "Complications" Gretchen gets in some more trouble than she assumes and asked Ellison for help.

After trying to help a beaten patient get her stuff from her boyfriend, things gets complicated when the boyfriend pulls a gun on her and her friend. But the Gretchen's friend, who's a big high, tackles the guy and breaks his finger, Gretchen is overwhelmed from what had happen.

When Gretchen takes the patient's things, the boyfriend tries to tell the truth but than pisses her off and she hits him with a waffle iron. He lands on the glass table where he's cut and not speaking.

She calls Ellison for help, when he gets there the guy isn't breathing so he pulls a piece of glass out of his throat.

With this going on, Ellison has an appointment with his client's friends. When they met, they soon met with the boy's father who tells the doctor that he'll treat his son as along as he say he does. Getting a bit too much for Ellison, there's even more than that.

When Bridget gets a visitor of a former patient's relative, a sister, about the mishap of the death notice and billing of surgery. She help corrected it and told her how it happen. The sister got upset that her brother killed himself in the hospital under her care. That gave Bridget a whole lot of problems to deal with.

In the meantime, Ellison gets back and finds the boyfriend tied up and soon to lose his finger if he doesn't get any treatment. When Gretchen comes back, they both have a heated argument, but after they
re argument, the boyfriend runs into his car and drives off but soon crashes in the woods.

Ellison tells the guy that he can't tell the police that Gretchen and him did this because if he does, he could be killed the the gang that he works.

That worked and soon Ellison gets back home, brings the milks that his wife asked for and talks to his father, who they have a bad history.

This episode was well thrilling and entertaining. I couldn't get enough of Gretchen and her friend in a tight situation between the boyfriend hurt and the hospital files in review.

Overall this episode was an 8/10.

You can catch "Complications" Thursday nights at 9/8c on USA Network.



Graceland: "B-Positive" 

In the season premiere of "Graceland" the wait is finally over, is Mike really dead?

Well, no and that's the good part. Mike had to pretend that he was dead to capture Sid, who Paige is now trying to capture. She's trying to do what she did wrong and Paul isn't quite happy with her after Mike's accident.

In the meantime, Paul is taking undercover for a case to take down one of the gangs that steals organs. Thinking that he has backup behind him, he goes through one of the worst days probably ever and soon takes it out on the captain.

As Mike recovers, after learning what Paige was doing with Sid, he had to stop it. As Paige was moments away from meeting with Sid, Mike comes and gets Sid running away. After what went down and after last season, Paige puts in her transfer to move out of the house. Paul is fine with it but not the others.

But it wasn't over when Johnny picks Sid up and drives off.

This was a really good start of the new season. It gave that new sense if you haven't seen the series before, this would be a great one to tune in for.

It was thrilling and electrifying. I can't wait to see what comes next this season.

Overall I give this a 8/10.

You can catch "Graceland" Thursday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.



Clipped: "Pilot" & "Dreamers"

TBS has a new comedy series "Clipped" from the creators of "Will & Grace" David Kohan and Max Mutchnick. 

The series centers with a group of co-workers that went to high school together but been around different people. But they are barbers at Buzzy's barbershop. The series starts Mike Castle and Ashley Tisdale. They play best friends, who had relationship history in high school but are best friends. 

In the pilot  AJ gets a call from a sports agent about joining the majors and it gets him excited. But with Ben, the boss of the shop, pressures the gang to quit, AJ steps in and calls it quits . But Danni talks him out and after he quit it, she along with the gang quits too. 

It stops Ben from firing anyone and decides to keep everyone and pay the raise in the insurance payment.

In the second episode, AJ still wants to go out for his dream as a ball player. There's a tryout and tells Danni that he's going to try it, but Danni talks him out of it and tells him that dreams die when you reach an age. 

After AJ talks to her about dreams, Danni thinks about her dreams about becoming a singer. That lead her to perform for a Diabetes fundraiser. After the gang watches her perform, Charmaine talks to Danni and tells her that she tried AJ the wrong way. 

Danni relazines and takes AJ to tryout where he didn't get in but was asked to comeback.

I've watched a few comedy series on TBS from "My Boys" and "Sullivan and Sons." "Clipped" seems to be a simple comedy. There are some funny moments in the show and in these two episodes there were more than a few to get by. 

With George Wendt as Buzzy and Reginald VelJohnson as Tommy in the pilot episode. They play gay lovers that probably stand out. Watching two classic 80's stars getting that one moment was hilarious. 

Diona Reasonover and Lauren Lapkus are very good and have some hilarious moments. Rayn Pinkston as Ben, resembles the characters as Seth Green. 

All in all, "Clipped" is a good show, it's got some humorist moments and some real awkward moments too. 

Overall I give the two episodes 6/10.

You can catch "Clipped" Tuesday nights at 10/9c on TBS

Can't Miss Thrilling Show of the Summer: Complications "Pilot" and "Infection"


If there's a word to describe this new series, it has to be THRILLING.

The new USA Network series "Complications" is about an ER doctor John Ellison, who is dealing with the lost of his daughter, suddenly becomes a hero and saves a boy during a drive boy shooting.  But the boy,w ho still alive, is mark to be killed. Ellison is asked from the boy's father to save him no matter what.

Ellison will try and push the limit of what any doctor would do in their daily profession. The question is how far will he go to save a patient?

Ellison is a really good center character. There are a lot of flashbacks from his time with his therapist, who he has to talk to after a wild night in the ER.

Another character that's really good is Gretchen, the nurse. She has this bad Carol Hathaway from ER meets Fiona Glenanne from Burn Notice. She's Ellison's really cool side kick. And in this adventure as Jessica Szohr said in a preview that "they're like Batman and Robin."

This series seems to have just enough thrilling to get me on the edge of my seat at times when things get to be at a stand still.

All in all this series is really good and it's on my list to watch this summer and on my DVR list too.

Overall I give the pilot episode a 8/10. Amazed and on the edge of my seat drama that I don't want to miss this summer.

You can catch "Complications" Thursday nights at 9/8c on USA Network.
