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.

The Change: Aquarius "A Change is Gonna Come"


In the episode, "A Change is Gonna Come" change has set it's tone with the Black Panther coming and Hodiak dealing with three crimes and his own son.

Hodiak comes face to face with the Black Panthers when an arson murder comes in. The Black Panthers won't help and protest for someone else's murder hasn't been solved or dealt with.

This continues throughout the episode as Hodiak deals with a lot of changes.

In the meantime, Emma's mother has made everything like it hasn't happen before. Given her husband orders of what to do and what to say. I guess we all know who's the boss in this family.

Hell she even slept with Hodiak, like I called it!! But it didn't last for long after Emma was taken from Manson's girls.

After a arguing with Hodiak about protection, Hodiak went back home and have a drink. Then he goes for a ride to Manson and beat the crap out of him until his partner comes and stops him. But his partner was undercover so he had to make it look like he saved Manson's life.

It worked and I think that Manson might be doing something real soon.

Hodiak seems to loose it after everything gone to crap. His son returns and tells him that he can't fight in the war because they have a mission to go in an area that they aren't suppose to and kill children. That he has proof that the government lied and so did the President.

Changes do come in small and big.  Oh what will happen next with Hodiak and another thing what will Manson do next?

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

Hannibal Cancelled After Three Seasons





Cancel that fourth meal as NBC has cancelled Hannibal after three seasons.

In a statement, NBC said, "We have been tremendously proud of "Hannibal" over its three seasons. "(Showrunner Bryan Fuller) and his team of writers and producers, as well as our incredible actors, have brought a visual palette of storytelling that has been second to none in all of television -broadcast or cable. We thank Gaumont and everyone involved in the show for their tireless efforts that have made "Hannibal" an incredible experience for audience around the world."

Fuller also made a statement: "NBC has allowed us to craft a television series that no other broadcast network would have dared, and kept us on the air for three seasons despite Cancellation Bear Chow ratings and images that would have shredded the eyeballs of lesser Standards & Practices enforcers. Jen Sale and her team have been fantastic partners and creatively supportive beyond measure. "Hannibal" is finishing his last course at NBC's table this summer, but a hungry cannibal can always dine again. And personally, I look forward to my next meal with NBC."

Don't worry Hannibal fans, NBC will still air all of the 10 episodes of the series current season. The series has been on the bubble of cancellation ever since it's debut.

"Hannibal" has used the contents of Thomas Harris'  bestselling novels of "Red Dragon," "Hannibal" and "Hannibal Rising." But the one most popular has been a no reach, "The Silence of the Lambs." Ever since the series begin, Fuller has been trying to get the rights to the book but all attempts have failed.

Just like the first two seasons of the show, the current season will end with a finale that can serve as both a season ender or a series closer. Fuller told Entertainment Weekly that for season four, it would be "more radical" and that "There is a pocket in one of the novels of some really rich interesting character material that I'm inverting and twisting around."
