All in The Family: This Is Us "This Big, Amazing, Beautiful Life"

Image result for this is us this big amazing beautiful life



This week's episode was another emotionally powerful episode of a child's view from birth to where she is now.

"This Big, Amazing, Beautiful Life" was written as a beautiful and powerful view point of one child of Deja from birth, growing up with a mother and grandmother and dealing with the foster care system to even meeting with the Randall's family. Trying to keep hope that her mother, Shauna, would get better and stay on the right track. But when Shauna gets Deja back and comes home along with her new friend that happen to cause more trouble as time goes on that would leave her do that gun charges that really wasn't her gun at all.

You see where she picks up the attitude just a bit when she first comes into Randall's home from a friend in the foster system. But not to mention took one advice by heart that if she's in a home with a bed, she hangs on to it tightly.

As the episode progress, we come back to the present after Randall and Beth found Deja and Shauna sleeping in their car. They take them in, fixed them dinner and watched a movie along, but as all of this was happening Shauna was watching Deja on how happy she was being around Randall's family as if she belongs here. Once Deja goes to her room, Shauna talks with Beth about her life and daughter and decided that it was best for her to stay here and her to go leaving Deja in Randall and Beth's hands.

I thought this episode was so beautifully written and the performance from Lyric Ross as Deja was amazingly and emotionally engaging. I thought that the during certain scenes like the births and such was so interesting and in a way that Deja is like a real part of the Pearsons. The final scene with Shauna leaving was tear-jerking moment of the episode, along with many others. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the season finale of This Is Us next Tuesday at 9/8c followed by the series premiere of Rise at 10/9c on NBC.

Good Girls "Pilot" Series Premiere

Image result for good girls nbc

Good Girls premiered last Monday, and after watching it, it seems to be the show to watch.

In the pilot, the episode introduces us to our three leading women who struggle with life challenges: Beth is dealing with going into divorce due to their husband's actions, and Ruby's child's health is in the balance due to the cost. Annee is fighting for custody of her kid. When they need to make something, they pull off a robbery at a grocery store. But what comes next goes a 180 when the amount of money they take is more than what they were thinking, much more.

But after spending some of the money for personal usage, Ruby uses her portion of the money on her daughter's treatment. But they get a wake-up call from a gang that they took their money and asked for it back. With some of the money gone, they try to make up for it, but eventually, they are forced to help the gang out with things until their debt is paid off.

But the episode doesn't end just there; Anne, who's threatened by her boss at the supermarket, knowing that she is one of the robbers, almost gets raped, but her sister Beth comes in and tries to bluff him away with a toy gun. But after pushing her buttons about not doing anything, she knocks him with a bottle and soon trips and falls onto the coffee table dead.

From the beginning of the episode to the end, I was hooked on these characters. This is the kind of show to drink wine and hang out with her friends watching, not to mention that it's the perfect show for the time we're in right now. The chemistry of Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman is fantastic and so spot on. I would want to be friends with their characters.

Well-developed characters make vital and challenging decisions to prove that they are not what they seem they are. In one scene, when Ruby tries to talk with the doctor about a new medication, and as she's speaking, the doctor is dealing with other things and says she isn't paying attention until she finally calls and says that he listens to her. That was such a power scene and one of Retta's best performaperformancesll; I give this episode an 8.5/10

You can catch Good Girls Mondays at 10/9c on NBC.

Life Sentence Pilot Preview

LFS101e_0542b



This Wednesday marks the series premiere of Lucy Hale's new series "Life Sentence." Here's a preview of the "Pilot" episode.

When Stella (Hale), a young woman who has spent the last eight years of living like she was dying, finds out that her cancer has been cured. She is suddenly forced to face the long-tern consequences of the "live in the moment" decisions she made, which includes marrying a total stranger. But she also finds out that her"perfect family" isn't so perfect after all and everyone in her life hid their problems from her.

Stella is shocked to learn that her parents, Peter (Dylan Wash) and Ida (Gillian Vigman), have fallen out of love, her sister, Elizabeth (Brooke Lyons), gave up her own dreams to start a family with her husband Diego (Carlos PenaVega) to take care of her, and her often overlooked brother Aiden (Jayosn Blair), who's pushing 30 and still lives above the garage, sells Adrenal to soccer moms and uses Stella's cancer to guilt them into sleeping with him.

Meanwhile, Stella's husband Wes (Elliot Knight), begins to worry that he can't continue to pretend to be her perfect husband for the rest of his life. With a real future suddenly in front of her, Stella's cinematic life snaps into reality, and instead of living like she was dying, she will have to learn to live like she's living, and help her family and friends to do the same. 







You can catch the series premiere of Life Sentence Wednesday, March 7 at 9/8c on The CW.
