Weekend Catch Up Pt 9: Comedy Premiere and Drama Finales

Here's this week's Weekend Catch Up with two finales and a premiere of a new show.


The Carmichael Show: "Pilot"/"Protest" 

It's the latest new comedy from NBC this summer, The Carmichael Show brings a spiced up comedy that is like All in the Family and The Cosby Show put together. In it's one hour premiere, the show turns out to be hilarious from the start.

The show is about Jerrod Carmichael and his life with his girlfriend and his family. The show makes fun in a conversational way of issues from religion to race and marriage to politics. It takes light of the issue but also takes some seriousness too.

Jerrod is hilarious along with David Alan Grier and Loretta Devine as his parents that remind me of The Bunkers and the Barones in a way.

The is hilarious with some hysterical jokes and the performance. I would have to say this series might be funnier than Mr. Robinson.

You can catch The Carmichael Show Wednesday nights at 9/8c after the LIVE America's Got Talent Results on NBC.

Suits "Faith" Summer Finale

In the summer finale of Suits, someone is about to leave but who would that be and will they go quietly?

As an emergency meeting to remove Jessica from the firm, Louis and Jessica try one last effort to get support. But Louis goes to the big problem and makes a threat but that back fired with two threats of the guy's own one being sued and the other taking over his sister's company after buying it.

Harvey couldn't be found as Jessica was desperate for his help. But he was with his therapist discussing the situation and why he couldn't back down. We get a back story to his past with his father and mother and the situation that his mother has caused on the family.

It kind of left a bad taste to his mouth. After the session, Harvey makes it back to the meeting before the votes even started. He makes a statement about how a termination is in order and talked about how this firm has been a real family with Jessica in control.

That speech worked and saved Jessica from being dismissed.

As for Mike, he had to face his demons back at home. We get the back story of the moment his mother and father died in a car accident. He was never the same after, going to catholic school and becoming a real trouble maker.    

He goes back to the school and talks to the father that still there when he went. Wanted to ask for advice but got a real life lesson when he realized that he should make a fresh new start and that's what he did.
He resigning from the firm and told Harvey first. That could have been the feel good moment of the episode, with them talking and hugging it out.

As Mike tells Rachel of his resigning, as soon as he packed all his stuff, he then gets arrested for fraud and is taken away. I'm surprised that Rachel was just standing there from that time like a deer in the headlights.

I should probably say that there were two people that were leaving. As Jessica thanks Harvey, he gave her another surprise that he too is resigning.      

This was a real turner for the show, now that Mike is no longer with the firm and arrested. Who turned him in? I've never seen Harvey sacrifice to anything until now to save someone from the job.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10. The summer finale was very good and Harvey and Mike had the best story lines in this episode.

Suits will return this winter on USA Network.


Hannibal: "The Wrath of the Lamb" series finale 


Drop the mic!! The series finale of Hannibal literally dropped the mic.

As the Red Dragon confronts his darling "girlfriend" of who he is. He plays with her mind by feeling his chest, removing the key, walking down to the door and opening the door. He comes through the front door and has her go back to the bedroom.

He plays with her mind, thinking that he shot himself in the head, but that's not at all true as Will gets a visit from the Dragon himself.

Will has a plan to get the Dragon and that was to release Hannibal as bait. The bait was set but not in any terms of the Dragon's wanting as he ambushed the police and release Hannibal. Hannibal takes Will to his get-away house.

There Will and Hannibal have a drink but shots are fired hitting both Lecter and the bottle of wine (sad).
The Dragon who look like was going to kill Hannibal, he turns the attacks Will by stabbing him in the face with a knife.

Right there, become one of the most epic fights I've seen on television. Will and Hannibal taking down the Red Dragon. There were a few moments where I thought that they couldn't take him but after slicing and dicing they manage to take the Dragon down.

And after seem like a Thelma and Louise moment when Hannibal and Will hugged and leaned over the cliff ending it with a scene shot from the cliff and the song "Love Crime" by Siouxsie Sioux. It was so beautiful and eerie that went so along with not only that scene but the show itself.

As for other characters, Bloom and her wife took their son to another place to get away from things. I don't think that she will ever be happy but this might come close to being as happy as she can get. And for Fredrick, the poor man is getting skin graphs, but nothing else for him.

Overall, I give this finale a perfect 10/10. It was beautiful, it was remarkable, it was all-in-all the best episode that felt so much like a ending finale.

Plus, the post-credit was remarkable too. Bedelia is seen at the dinner table with a meal that was yet to be served. It turns out that the main course is a leg but it was until we see a shot of her and that she lost her left leg. Did she do it to herself? Is Hannibal still alive? I couldn't get enough of that scene.

Weekend Catch Up Pt.8


Here's another edition of the weekend catch-up.

Suits: "Uninvited Guests"

The 
In this week's episode, things could take a turn for the worst for not just Rachel and Mike but for Jessica and the firm.

With Mike and Rachel's wedding still in the planning, Rachel's mother has some ideas and dates for the ceremony. But when she shows Rachel the list of who's invited, it puts her on the defensive and to protect Mike from his secret.

Of course, there's always an argument between mother and daughter, but the mother wants to give what her daughter always dreamed of. I find it a perfect story this wedding might not happen. This is when Mike and Rachel finally talk and discuss it after Mike has spoken to her mother about this situation. But they love each other, and it looks like they're still in the process.

Meanwhile, Harvey apologizes for his action towards Louis as the partners will vote to either not suspend or to suspend Harvey. It was split, and Harvey stayed. And well, hell's lazing when Jack mentions that Daniel Hardman has made a deal to take back his firm.

It draws both Harvey and Mike to take care of this, and with Mike's ideas, one shitty and the other brilliant (something he's been doing to Harvey for a long time). They stop the bleeding of Daniel from coming back, but it just puts more and more pressure on Harvey and Jessica.

Harvey talks to Charles, who's in prison, trying to scare him, but it doesn't work. For this to stop, Charles wants Harvey to resign from the firm. As for Jessica, she double-crossed Jack, thinking he would be a partner in the firm, but not quite. It turned into a heated match of words. Jessica is never afraid, but she should be when Jack votes for her to leave.

This episode leaves up to a perfect season finale. This episode had plenty of drama carrying from last week's episode.  There's no doubt that things will happen. Things are differently going to change. Will Jessica be voted out? Harvey Quit?

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch the season finale of Suits Wednesday night at 9/8c on USA.

Mr. Robot: "eps1.8m1rr0r1ng.qt"

Last week's episode was jaw-dropping. This week's episode was yet another.

So, in this case, Mr. Robot is Elliot! Holy Shit!!

This episode had some backstory when Mr. Robot had an electronic store called "Mr. Robot." And when a customer comes, he says his kid took $40. Robot doesn't take this crap and tells the guy to leave. It was then that he called out his son, Elliot.

Of course, Elliot has been freaking out since he kissed his sister Angela. So, Elliot has been talking with his dad, going from his place to his old childhood home. He was thinking that we saw Elliot push Mr. Robot through the window. We see them walking to the cemetery, where they stop at a grave, and Robot sits down, but just before, he tells him that he loves Elliot and that they're trying to take him away from him. From then on, it was getting too freaky until Darlene and Angela found him, and soon, Robot was nowhere to go.

Elliot freaks out and soon realizes that he's Mr. Robot.

In the meantime, Tyrell is a father and soon gets fired. How interesting is that when joy comes to you, and soon it's taken away?

Soon, Tyrell goes to Elliot's apartment and talks to him about what has been happening with the hacking and all. Also, he killed his neighbor and had discussions about that. So, Elliot shows Tyrell the place where everything has been happening and tells him that he's the one who's been doing it.

It seems like Tyrell wants to help Elliot and get revenge from Evil Crop for his firing. I guess Tyrell was right in the pilot that they'll be working with Elliot in the future.

I enjoyed this episode. This show is a lot different from any other television show this summer. Some so many twists and turns keep me interested and wanting to watch more. I think that something big is coming, and when that happens to Elliot, it will be something he can't stop.

I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch the season finale of Mr. Robot on Wednesday night at 10/9c on USA.


Aquarius:  "Old Ego Is a Too Much Thing"

In the season finale of "Aquarius," Ken and Hal return to Charlie for help. Hodiak tries to deal with his son's service records, and life and death come into play.

Ken gets into such deep stuff that involves a dead girl. He goes to Hal's place and tells him that his girl wasn't there that night, so he had to settle with this girl. Suddenly, things go wrong, and he leaves the body at Charlie's place, which isn't a good idea because Charlie will use it as leverage for both of them.  We see a flashback of both guys in 1959 when this incident happened, and Charlie made Hal kill the girl.

Hodiak tries to save his son from his actions of telling the truth about the war. Arranging a meeting with an officer with a good enough deal, his son goes to LA Times and soon gets arrested and taken away.

Meanwhile, a case breaks, and he and Shafe go to the suspect's home, where guns are a blazing. Hoak took one of the suspects who was caught and used him to stop his brother from shooting, for which he shot him a couple of times. Then Hodiak tackles and fights with him until he breaks the guy's neck.

Shafe and Hodiak were awarded a medal for their duties in this killing case. Soon after Hodiak was awarded, a guy from internal affairs came and told him he had questions because a witness saw what happened.

Grace and Hodiak are a couple now after all this mess went down. She finally gives up on her daughter after being in jail and just isn't listening to her. I did predict that Grace and Hodiak would wound up as a couple.

Charlie, on the other hand, became a father, but the baby wasn't breathing. Then, one of the girls, who was jealous of Charlie, steals a baby from the local hospital and brings the child back.

This episode was pretty good. There didn't seem to be any closing storylines except for Emma and her mother—a cliffhanger for Hodiak of the incident.  I look forward to seeing what Season Two will bring.

In this episode, I give it a 6.5/10.
You can catch "Aquarius" On Demand at NBC.com

Hannibal: "The Number of the Beast is 666..."


HOLY SHIP!!!!

I CAN NOT BELIEVE WHAT I'VE JUST WATCHED!!!!

The hunt for the Red Dragon is still on, and Will and Jack have an idea. With the help of Fredrick, they're going to draw the guy out and attack them by putting out an article describing the dragon.

That did work, but instead of going after Will, he went after Fredrick (who, in my opinion, got what he deserved). As Fredrick was heading out, the dragon snatched him and took him to his place, where it was the episode's best scene.

The dragon is talking to Fredrick, making him fear him. Soon, Reba comes by with chicken soup but tells the dragon how much she likes him. After that, the dragon shows pictures of his work to Fredrick and soon gets the photo of him and Will.

The dragon takes the video camera out and records, telling Fredrick what to say, and soon, the dragon is unleashed and goes to Fredrick, biting off his lips and fashioning the shot of Fredrick screaming with blood and teeth, showing so gruesome but so fantastic.

But if you think that was the end of Fredrick, not at all. The dragon later poured gasoline on him and lit him up on fire, pushing him down the pathway toward the water fountain.

Hannibal, of course, might have set it up for the dragon to hurt Fredrick. After all, he did get his lips in the mail from the dragon and ate one before Jack could see it.

Never have I seen such a gruesome scene in my life on television. This episode is as gruesome. Hannibal mentions that the lamb will soon be a loin. I think that in next week's episode, that lamb will become something of a loin.

I enjoyed this episode so, so much—mind-blowing scene with Fredrick and the Dragon. And Hannibal and Jack's conversation was good as well. The actors were just so damn good.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch the season finale/series finale of Hannibal on Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Sports Talk:

What a weekend the Chicago Cubs have had, sweeping the Atlanta Braves and winning today's game 9-3. 

The player of the game, Kris Bryant, hitting two home runs today, was flat-out remarkable. 

Cubs seem to be hitting at the right time, and pitching is good enough to get through. But I can't stress enough on the offensive side that this team is red hot. 

I know it's getting my grandfather, a Cardinal fan, worrying about how they're playing. 

We've only had less than 40 games; things can happen. But I do hope that what the Cubs are doing keeps going and hopefully shows a tremendous playoff run.

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

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

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

Crushing the Past: Weekend Catch Up Part 6

Here's another edition of Weekend Catch Up.

Suits "Hitting Home" 

In this week's episode of "Suits," we get to learn why Harvey is what he is when it comes to dating and other relationships.

Seems Jessica seems to know what Jack Soloff is up to with trying to take away her company. When Jack tries to make things right, she has Mike helping with him, but more of keeping an eye on him instead. But Jack seems that even if he tries to help and not give information to another company, he has a change of heart.

Harvey on the other hand finally opens up about his past. He tells the story when he found his mother sleeping with a "cousin" and ask not to tell dad. This was when he was sick and coming from school. That moment triggered what Harvey is today and it shows when Louis' sister ask him to help with a lawsuit and than a date.

Harvey turns her down both times. She tries to open with him but he shuts her down cold. When she goes to tell Louis that she can't go with him and Donna. Louis soon figures it out that Harvey and her slept together and it turned into a heated battle.

This happens to be one of it's best episodes as for Harvey's storyline. It as well told and give a great explanation of why Harvey is so Harvey.  Also I don't think that Donna and Harvey could be friends with what just happen here. She wants t help give advice but he doesn't want any advice from a friend.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10
You can catch "Suits" Wednesday nights at 9/8c on NBC


Hannibal "And the Woman Clothed in Sun" 


Holy crap!! The ending to this episode was amazing and thrilling when Will and the Tooth Fairy finally meet and had a nice five second dance before escaping.

The Tooth Fairy had his conversation with Lecter and even had a flashback with him. It was kind of mind blowing when he blossomed into the Red Dragon in front of Lecter like that.

Also, taking his ray of sunshine, the speech therapist with him and had a stay in date night after going to the zoo.

And I couldn't forget Gillian Anderson's role in this episode, with her character's conversation with Will about if you came in front of a wounded bird would you help it? Both agree to help but she would crush it, because everything and everyone needed to be crush and she tells it with so so cold.

That had to be my second favorite scene in the episode. This episode was really well written and flat down mind blowing with the special effects with the Tooth Fairy and his therapist when she pets the tiger.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

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

Sports thoughts:

I thought that this is Sunday that I would put in a couple of sports thoughts today in this post.

Cubs on a Roll
The Chicago Cubs are on a roll. Sweeping the San Francisco Giants 4-0 this weekend and winning today's game 2-0 in a dramatic ending.

The Cubs look great and are in the playoff hunt for the second Wild Card. Maybe Back to the Future could be right, the Cubs could win it in 2015?

The Lost of a Giant
I want to take this time to give my thoughts and prayers to the family of Frank Gifford. News today that he had passed away this morning, it's just heartbreaking. Frank was on the great giants of the NFL. Heck, I think he was the definition of what the NFL stood for, when he played.

I enjoyed watching him and Kathie Lee together on The Today Show. He was such an amazing legendary broadcaster, football player and human being.

Family Matters with or without Demons: Wednesday Night Summer Drama




Suits: ""No Puedo Hacerlo" 

When it comes to family, it matters no matter what your position is as a lawyer.

As Lewis gets a visit from his beautiful sister about a legal issue, she asks him to get her Harvey. Of course, Lewis and Harvey aren't in good terms but even though it's unethical he goes and ask Harvey.

Harvey takes the case but didn't realize that he had already met her early that day. Learns that this case is a divorce but also fair share. After the first meeting, Harvey has his client come clean about it and they discuss it.

After talking, they get to the bottom of it and as Harvey realize that this should not be about money at all. This is after he was looking at Donna across the glass window. After his client agreed to the terms, they went out for drinks.

Mike on the other hand, can't let the insurance lawsuit go. As he and his future father-in-law tackle it together. There will be butted heads in this one, no doubt about it. Mike doesn't like the offer and tries his very best to find a loop and get a better deal. There was no way of fixing it but Mike did save his father-in-law from a bad business idea.

The one thing taking away from this episode was that Harvey has accepted that Donna is gone. As soon as he talks with Lewis about the lawsuit agreement and Lewis tells him and his sister. Harvey goes up to Donna and thanked her for 12 great years. He finally accepted it and walks away. Heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

This episode was intriguing and very good. The fight between Mike and Rachel's father was really good, plus seeing Lewis' sister was completely surprising.

Overall I give this episode to 8/10.

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



Mr. Robot: "eps1.2d3bug.mtv"


In one of it's most bazaar episodes yet, demons do follow you no matter if you're good or not.

As the project to take down Evil Corp's company, Elliot has this idea on how to go in without killing anyone and blowing it up. But there's one issue, he's a bit high and need more of his morphine for help. His now addiction has got the best of him and held the plan for another day pissing off some of the other guys.

As Mr. Robot tries to get him off the drug, Elliot  goes through some crazy stuff from thinking that he's getting high, getting shot and even trying to show his monster side. He's demons got the best of him and after a good while of the episode of him going through a lot of hallucination.

Meanwhile Angela and Shayla spend some time with one another, walking Elliot's dog and even going out and party. Hell, Shayla gives Angela a little something and had a real moment. I was amazed by how those two were in this episode. Both important women of Elliot's are having spending time.

Elliot does get over the rough stuff and there was a moment when he was alone that he was scared. But Mr. Robot comes out of the shadows and tells him that he's not alone. One of the guys mix a drink for Elliot that he has to drink more than seven of them.

As I said before, this episode was bazaar but it was well crafted a well. Even if there was sliver lining out there, the lining might not be all that pleasant as demons from past or present does creep back up to you.

Overall, I give this episode 9/10. If was so well done.

You can catch ?Mr. Robot" Wednesday nights at 10/9c 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.

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.

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.

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.

Pride Over Feeling: Suits "Denial" season premiere


In the season premiere of "Suits" change is coming in the life of Harvey.

We come into the episode as Harvey is talking to a therapist about how he isn't sleeping but instead of getting a prescription for sleeping pills he tells her the event that took place six weeks earlier.

Mike and Rachel are engaged and agreed to not tell anyone expect her father and Donna, but she finds out what happen with Donna, she doesn't tell her. But Mike did tell Harvey who wasn't in the best of moods.

Without Donna Harvey is literally a spaceship with out a shield. She was the glue that held Harvey to being the best that he is as a lawyer.  

As a case comes in with a business about to go bankrupt, Harvey and Mike play hardball and come up with a plan to get the people to withdraw their investments. But both Harvey and Mike forgot one other name and they had to play another hardball game for one that would not settle with their client but it will fix it all.

Donna working for Louis gives Louis sense of happiness but also his mind plays tricks when it comes to knowing that she might go back to Harvey, for which Harvey thinks so too.

The therapist got to the bottom of things and figured out that Harvey isn't having trouble sleeping but he's had anxiety attack. She did give him a week's worth of anxiety pills but after another attack he kind of flushed them in the toilet.

It's going to be very interesting to see how Harvey will be throughout this season. After one incident, can Harvey get things back by just getting another secretary?

This episode was very good. Watching Harvey be this bold guy kind of have a chip on his shoulder. I literally can't wait to see what happens next.

I give this episode an 8/10.
