A Flying Thrill: Departure Season 1

 

When a British passenger plane mysteriously disappears, investigators try to find out what happened. The mystery will keep you guessing to the end. Here are my thoughts. 

Peacock's new drama series Departure has been pretty much the best new series since The Capture (which premiered in July). The series focuses on Kendra Malley (played by Archie Panjabi), brought in by her boss and mentor Howard Lawson (played by Christopher Plummer), to help investigate the disappearance of a British passenger plane. 

Malley, who just suffered from losing her husband in an accident some time ago, is dealing with a troubled adopted son. She tries to figure out the plane's location before disappearing. While discovering the aircraft's location, they had only found one survivor. 

During this investigation, Malley and the team go back and forth on whether it's terrorism or suicide from the pilot. But the story keeps you guessing until the end of the final two episodes, which makes a satisfying ending.  

I loved Departure, and it might be my favorite new series on Peacock so far. The performances from Panjabi and Plummer were marvelous. They play so well with one another. The writing was solid, and even though I wouldn't say I liked the whole mother-son story at first, it turned around for me after learning what happened to Malley's husband and what her son did for her. I highly recommend watching this six-episode series.  

Overall, I give this first season a 9/10.

You can catch Departure available now on Peacock Streaming Service. 

A.P. Bio Season 3 Review

The third season of A.P. Bio premiered this month, and the new season looks better than ever.

The eight-episode season three comedy series dives into more wacky and crazy stuff than the previous two seasons. From Helen being part of Jack's student to Ralph dealing without having Helen as his crime partner, that's just the first episode.

The season pushes the characters not only with hilarious moments but heart-warming ones. Jack, who's trying to record a video for a university to get out of Toledo, backfires and realizes that he's better off in Toledo with the students and friends.

One episode that I believe might be the season's highlight is episode three, and the first ten minutes of the episode are just catching up to what is just ten minutes of the episode. It might seem dumb to read it and go, "What?" but trust me, once you see it, it's pretty hilarious as it's like making fun of the steaming services previously on this show.

The season finale, of course, didn't disappoint as it dives into the celebration of Katie Holme's day. That's the day they celebrated when she got the part of Joey Porter on Dawson's Creek. I don't think I should say anything more after that.

I very much enjoyed the third season of A.P. Bio. While the second season was good, this season was much better. There was strong writing and character development this season. I can't stress enough the chemistry between Paula Pell and Patton Oswalt, as they're one of the best comedic duos on television.

I highly recommend taking a look at the new season of A.P. Bio. Overall, I give this season a 9/10.

You can catch seasons 1-3 of A.P. Bio, available on Peacock Stream Service.

The Capture Season 1

If there's one original series to watch on the Peacock Streaming Service, it would be The Capture.

The Capture is a brilliant and on-the-edge-of-your-seat crime drama thriller that leaves you asking yourself repeatedly whether the person you are pursuing is guilty or not. Season one opens up with a former U.K. Special Forces solider, Lance Corporal Shaun Emery, acquitted of a war crime in Afghanistan; he finds himself in hot water when accused of kidnapping and murdering his lawyer CCTV. 

Detective Inspector Rachel Carey, who fast-tracked to the homicide and serious crime unit, begins to uncover a complex conspiracy surrounding Emery that puts the footage into question on whether it's him or someone else. The season ends with a concussion that's more right than wrong.

One of my anticipated series to watch since I saw the trailer last year and was even thrilled that NBC Universal acquired to stream it on their streaming service. I binge-watched all six episodes in one day and loved it. 

It's a solid character-driven series with Holliday Grainger playing DI Rachel Carey, who I thought was brilliant. But it was Callum Turner, who played Lance Corporal Shaun Emery, who stole the series. His portrayal of the character had me going back and forth on whether he was the killer. Even the performances from Ron Pearlman and Famke Janssen were excellent as well. While I think that season one ends Emery's storyline, I can't wait to see what happens next in season two and what DI Carey will get into this time.

Overall, I give this series a 9.5/10.

You can catch The Capture streaming now on Peacock Stream Service.
