FX Renews Tyrant For Season 3

Hey People,

I've never been so happy that my intel was wrong.

Long live Baliyah! There will only be 10 episodes this time around but I'm just happy it's coming back.

Although Tyrant fell in viewership this summer, it still drew some of the best ratings in its final weeks.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to rewatch some long gazes scenes.

Tyrant Renewal News

Hey People,

*This is what I've heard*

So I was waiting to see if Tyrant would be renewed and I now know what will be happening and as promised, I'm sharing the news with you. FX has cancelled Tyrant :(

I know sad face and just when I was really getting into it. So no more Baliyah? Well, no so fast. It turns out that Netflix and Hulu are shopping. This means that Tyrant could still live on if either Netflix or Hulu picks it up. I don't really care who. I just want the show to continue. However, if it was on Netflix it could become incredibly dark, which I would love. Yet, Hulu owns the streaming rights, so if anyone picks it up it will most likely be them.

Don't count out Tyrant just yet.

Luv ya,

Tyrant Season 2 Finale Review

Hey People,

Okay so I don't know if Jamal is dead or alive, but I'm leaning more towards him being alive because there needs to be a villain and if they do keep him alive they can make him into a pure dictator. Before, he was a confused president, but after the shooting and I think knowing that everyone was in on him stepping down, he will go full dictator and kill anyone who gets in his way. At least that's what I'm hoping for. It's better than introducing a new character. But can I just say out of all the people who could have shot Jamal, I didn't think it was going to be Nusrat. Although after knowing she was the shooter, it does make sense. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown. I'm just wondering what they're going to do with her. I don't think Ahmed would want to be with Nusrat after she tried to kill his father. But that's okay because Rami will be there for her. Unlike Ahmed, Rami probably wouldn't care what Nusrat did since Jamal tried to kill him. I hope the actor, who plays Rami, sticks around a little longer.

So that just happened. Backup came at the last minute and Barry was saved at the last minute. At first, I was yelling at Molly asking why was she telling everyone that Barry is alive. Does she not know the element of surprise? But it turns out people needed to know so everyone except Jamal would want to save the Red Hand more.

Jamal is still acting crazy, but at least now his family (Leila, Ahmed, and Rami) are all plotting against him.

Someway, somehow Ihab Rashid survived. I kind of wanted him dead because I don't care if he'll be willing to convert to Barry's side now that his "friend" tried to kill him. He seems nonredeemable to me now.

The season finale is tonight, so make sure you watch and come back to read my review of it later.

P.S. Did you see the look on Daliyah's face when Sammy mentioned how he can't wait to see the look of his father's face when Barry finally reunites with him and his mother? On rare occasions I do look forward to love-triangles. This is one of those times.

S1 E9

Let's see...Branson escaped and Kieran turned into suspect #1 because of the video of him and Nina being together, the night before she was killed and Piper stating that Brandon James's mother identified Kieran as the guy who came to visit her.

With each episode that I watch, it looks more and more like Piper is behind it all. She may not be alone like I stated in my last theory, but she's definitely involved, I think. I'm pretty sure she's setting up Kieran to be the fall guy and helped Mr. Branson escape from prison before she went to Emma with the faux news about Kieran visiting James's mother. I'm not sure if Branson is involved, but I'm leaning more towards yes. Or maybe, Piper is Brandon James's son and just had a sex change. You never know people.

I believe this is the last episode of the season, meaning you can't miss it!

P.S. I almost forgot to say Clark was captured, but #whothefuckcares

Hey People,

S2 E10

Tyrant just keeps on getting better and better. Barry is going to war and he doesn't know backup isn't coming. Jamal has completely lost it. He killed his mother instead of his intended target, Rami, and then justified it by saying she's the one that brought Rami to the palace in the first place. He pointed the finger at Rami for killing his own grandmother and now Rami and Leila are planning a coup, but it starts with Leila pulling the trigger and killing Jamal, which she cannot do. Oh yes, this episode was packed.

In other news, Sammy was left behind because families shouldn't lose more than one person in this war. Ahmed finally found out just how horrible his parents really are, but he still doesn't know the half of it yet. I don't know what's going to happen next season with the Rami-Nusrat-Ahmed love triangle, but it will be interesting to see it played out. I really don't care for Molly, but at least she was useful for this episode by informing Sammy that backup wasn't coming. Maybe she can be useful now by staying at the palace and giving Barry info.

Of course, I have to mention the kiss between Daliyah and Barry. It happened and Daliyah knows exactly where she stands with him that no words really needed to be said, but I don't think it's that simple or will even remain simple because even Sammy noticed Daliyah's feelings towards his father. This love triangle between Daliyah-Barry-Molly would actually bet better to see because I understand Barry and Molly being husband and wife and all, but you can't deny the attraction of the alluring Daliyah. For now, I'm team Daliyah.

P.S. I'm so glad we get an extra 2 episodes this season because if last week was the season finale, I would definitely not have been satisfied mainly because I would really want to know what happens next.

S1 E8

So nothing happened last week except for 3 things:

• Emma is going crazy and is now seeing things that aren't there
• Emma's mother admits she had a child and gave it up for adoption
• The teacher has been caught and in my head no matter what, he goes to jail for sexing a minor

Emma's mother having a child rules out our 2nd theory, but our 1st is still intact. Mr. Branson could still be the killer, but it also means he has help aka a 2nd killer, which leads me to my new theory.

New Theory

I think Piper and Branson are siblings. Branson was the child Brandon James and Daisy had and Piper was Branson's adopted sister. Branson came back to wreck havoc in Emma's life because he and Piper had a bad upbringing and Emma got the life he always wanted. 

It's definitely doable, yet there's still so much we don't know. But that's all I got for now.

P.S. Why is the mayor in jail? You would think he would have good enough lawyers to prevent him from going to jail. At least bail him out.

Hey People,

S1 E7

I'm not going to cry a river that Will died because I didn't care about the pretty boy or any of the pretty boys really. So when I saw Jake stabbed what looked like the heart I was so happy because I totally wanted him to die, but nope I was denied and the pretty frat boy lives to see another day. I don't know how since it looked like he was stabbed in the heart and then Brooke pulls the dagger out of him which should have made the situation worse since he just would have ended up bleeding to death, but whatever. Both of them should have died with the type of stab wounds they had. But I do have to give credit to the show for showing a gruesome death. I saw the set up and said to myself, "That's not good."

It was pretty much a hide and seek game the whole episode, so there's really nothing else to report other than Brooke finding out Jake was also involved with the blackmailing scheme. The killer punished Emma for easily forgiving Will, which sadly, I have to agree with. I know he almost died, but that doesn't just undo everything he's done. Is that worth Will's life? No, but remember, I don't really care for Will in the first place.

We did find out something juicy though. Emma's mother slept with Brandon James, which is a twist in the usual story. Usually they're nice to the ugly boy, but they don't sleep with them. Something tells me Emma's mother was in love with Brandon James and she didn't want anyone to know. Is there a secret love child out there?

Theories
So there are some great theories out there right now and so I've decided to share two of them.

1. Emma's mother and Brandon James had a child and Emma's mother gave the child up for adoption that child turned out to be Mr. Branson (aka Bran's son) and he's come back to wreck Emma's life because she's the child that got everything.
2. Emma's mother and Brandon James had a child named Emma and Emma's mother passed the child as Emma's father's child and when he found out he went ballistic and is now killing everyone connected to Emma so Emma doesn't become like her mother.

The first one is more plausible right now, but the second one isn't. I thought up the 2nd one too, but I realized it doesn't really make sense unless Emma's mother had a teen pregnancy and that doesn't seem like the case. Besides, why would Emma's father choose to torture Emma and not Emma's mother? She's the one that would have lied in that case. My money is still on the podcast girl and now I'm thinking that she might be related to Brandon James in some way. 

S2 E9

Now Barry knows what it feels like to think someone is dead and have it sprung on him that same person is alive. Barry lost most of his men to an ambush by the Caliphate, so I'm doubting that the ambush he organized with Rami will go according to plan. It might even be safe to say it's been called off.

So Molly knows Barry is alive now and so her legs were closed for business, not like they were open before, but the establishment was preparing to open again. Bye-bye lawyer. As for Sammy, he's still alive and I thought for a second that they might make him bi with the way that girl was advancing with him so quickly, but I should have known better than the quick advancements meant she was going to die. Sammy has the kiss of death.

I hate how all of a sudden Jamal has become so evil. He's always been this confused person, who didn't know what to do and I think the lack of sleep, the drinking, and the pressure is really getting to him that he's just making bad decision after bad decision. I mean, he ordered his son's death. What is with father's killing their sons these days on TV?

I thought Nasrat and Rami wouldn't happen until next season, but I guess things are happening quicker than I expected. Ahmed wants to fight for their love, but Nasrat doesn't. I don't think she's in love with Ahmed because if she was, she would fight for him. I mean, the only reason she didn't break things off with him before is because of the baby and now that it's gone, what's the point?

So the family Barry stayed with basically is almost dead. The father and the 2 eldest sons died, leaving the 2 mothers and the hot mom's son alive. Barry knows how to ruin families that's for sure.

Hey People,

Well it was no surprise that Sammy met his father, but what I don't get is why does he want to stay? He acted like he didn't care for Barry when he thought he was dead and now all of a sudden he wants to stick around. Everyone does deal with grief differently, I guess this was his way.Molly isn't going to be happy about this but #whothefuckcares I'm just wondering now if Sammy is going to tell his mother that Barry is alive. I bet he won't tell her until she sleeps with the lawyer and when I say sleep I mean sex.

Jamal no longer trusts his new and improved son because he decided something without him. I think Rami made the right choice. He was just verifying the info. Now Jamal wants to be the only one to speak to Barry Khalil. I can't believe Jamal didn't recognize his voice. I don't care that Barry used a scarf to try to muffle the sound. It sounded the same damn thing to me. Now Jamal and Barry will work together to take down the Caliphate. I'm not sure if Barry will still have an inside man after the stunt he just pulled. He did almost kill his inside man. He may not want to go a 2nd round with death.

As for Nusrat, she will be a soon divorcee. If you can't make an heir than you might as well get out. I thought Leila would have just told her that Ahmed can creep now and have a bastard child. I didn't think she would have to quit being his wife. But it doesn't matter to me because I'm rooting for Rami and Nusrat and I think her getting a divorce is another step closer to it.

S1 E6

Sadly, Mr. Benson wasn't the victim-of-the-week and neither was Jake, but at least one pretty boy got stabbed. I'm talking about you, Will. I thought he was going to die, but the killer just took him for hostage, which is not cool because serial killers have rituals and this makes no sense, but we'll see where it leads us. Will was trying to be the good guy for once and gave back the money and video the group blackmailed Brooke's father with. The thing is killers don't care if you're good, well, except for Dexter.

So Audrey was the red herring of the week and I feel like it's a complete waste of time talking about what happened to her last week since she didn't kill Nina and will have no impact on the rest of the season, so I won't. Instead, I'll mention the flashback we witnessed. Daisy didn't think the guy from next door did those murders, which means she's most likely right. So who did? Maybe it was Emma's father. Maybe he's back in town scaring the shit out of his own kid. Who knows.

I was wrong about the podcast girl being the killer or was I? Maybe she has a twin and they planned this together. Either she has a twin or the deadbeat father is back in town.

Damn that was intense and I loved it. I knew by the end of the episode that Samira was going to end up dead. Either she was going to change her mind, which I doubted because of her husband, Ihab, or she was going to die because they was no way Barry was going to die. I'm glad that for her swan song they gave her a great story to go out on. I was tearing up when Barry stuck a knife in her for the 2nd time. Mercy kills are the worse. At least, Daliyah and Barry got out safely. Sadly, they didn't stay safe for long because they were hit with a bomb 2 seconds later.

Molly moved on pretty quick. I knew that lawyer was trying to get into her pants. I should be mad, but I'm not since I'm starting to ship Daliyah and Barry now. Do they have an official name yet? I have to check into that.

Nusrat lost her baby, but I'm not really surprised and I'm pretty sure she plans on killing herself. Me thinks this is how the new son steps and saves her from her demise.

As for Sammy, well, he was too late on saving Abdul, but he's willing to invest the $10 million he'll receive from Jamal in the Red Hand, the organization led by his dead father, but only if he meets with them. This'll be good.

P.S. Why does everyone hate on Emma? Even Jamal admitted that Sammy was his favorite. What's so great about Sammy? I hope next season Emma plays a bigger role. She's due.

S1 E5

Okay so I guess they're not killing people every week. I think it would be cooler if they did, but I guess they would run out of characters pretty fast. Emma and Will broke up and is a shock to no one. Emma and Kieran hooked up also a surprise to no one. This is the first TV show I've come across where I don't like either of the options. Hence, Will and Kieran can both die and I wouldn't give 2 shits. Speaking of Kieran, who brings a gun on a date? If he did that to me I would have kicked him in the nuts and start running in the other direction.

Audrey and Noah did some snooping and found out all 3 of the teacher's assistants are dead and now they think the teacher is the killer. I know this is a red herring and I'm glad it is because that means there is a huge possibility that he might be the next victim. I am so happy.

Brooke and Jake were in "the truth will set you free" mode and started telling secrets. Brooke told Emma that Will only talked to her as a bet with Nina that he could bed her in a month. Emma didn't take to kindly to that and dumped him as we all know. That guy just lies left and right with that girl. Jake didn't really tell the truth, to be honest, that guy straight up lied to Brooke about Tyler, Nina, and Will being the ones behind their dad's video. Jakey, Jakey stop lying, we all know you were involved too. It is heavily implied that Brooke's mom was killed by her father and that's why Brooke can't get a hold of her, but watch it be a Christmas tree or a blow up doll. I did see feet, so I'm leaning towards a blow up doll. But I think it's just another red herring and the father didn't kill anyone. A blow up doll is just as damaging to a politician.

Hey People,

S2 E5 & E6

So last week was finally what I've been waiting for--a great episode. I felt like this season has been lacking for me a bit and finally I watched an episode where action was front and center. Barry is no longer going to sit on the sidelines and is finally going to fight back. He can go kill Ihab, I don't care. Killing innocents is just not cool, so I'm okay with him dying this season and Barry can take down his little friend too. That way Barry can take the operation over and it will be brother vs brother. In other news, the 2nd wife was taken again by the rebel soldiers (maybe Barry can save her this time) and the 2 sons joined the army. I love how the father told each of the sons to look out for the other. Let's not forget that Sam and Molly are back in Abbudin. Scratch that, let us forget because I still don't care what happens to them.

Now in last night's episode, we had once again a great episode. Barry is starting an army against the regime and the Caliphate and I really can't wait until Ihab's lunatic of a friend gets killed. I guess you can add rapist to the list as well. But I'm pretty sure most people will only remember this episode as the episode where General Tariq meets his demise. It was bound to happen and no one is going to miss him. But damn, getting your head smashed in by a wannabe Eiffel Tower statue is definitely one way to go and for him, it was fitting. Now make way for Jamal's new and improved son to take over as general. Did you see the way Sibylla was looking at him? Something tells me she thinks he's new and improved too. Sam went to find Abdul (and they say lesbians have it bad) and he finds out that he's been captured and it would take a lot of money to be released. Luckily, Sam might have the money, if the judges rule in his favor. I just hope he knows not to give all his money away.

P.S. I just thought of this, but why is the lawyer helping Sam? He doesn't know the law of Abbudin. He can't even practice in Abbudin since he doesn't have a license there unless Abbudin has a law that says if you got your license from another country that's just A-OK with us #sarcasm He must really want to get into Molly's pants.

S1 E3 & E4

Scream is a 1000x better than Pretty Little Liars. I just hope Scream already knows who the killer is and it isn't some random person like PLL. Okay so I was wrong as to who will get killed next and I actually pegged the Asian girl as the killer during the episode, but that was thrown out the window by the end of the episode since she was the victim of the week, last week. Emma didn't want to play the killer's game and so he found someone else to play with, but when Emma realized the what the killer was up to, the killer made her choose between the good girl and the bad girl. She chose the bad girl because she thought the good girl would be safe at the police station, but she didn't count on the good girl also being the dumb girl and leaving the station. Good/Dumb girl is now dead and now Noah will be left blue balled forever. Oh well. In other news, Emma knows the truth about her mother being Daisy, but still doesn't know why the police are seeking her father out. She's smart, she should be able to figure this one out. The bromance on the show is on the rocks and now they don't trust each other.
Next victim: the teacher , Killer: ?

Now for last night's episode, no one died. I lost hope that it would be the teacher when I realized in the beginning of the episode that he wasn't going to be in this episode. I still have hope he'll be the next victim. Anyway, the killer leads some breadcrumbs for Emma and the gang to follow and they discover his faux lair. They also found Tyler's head so the police now know he's not the killer and the killer is still out there. Will and Jake are blackmailing the mayor. Me thinks that little group has been blackmailing a bunch of people with their sex tapes to make fast cash. Will didn't want to continue, but will continue so he can attend Duke. Jake, I guess, does it for fun or boredom. Can Jake die too?
Next victim: the teacher or Jake (I don't care which) , Killer: Podcast girl (she wouldn't have a job if it weren't for the murders)

P.S. I love how this show made fun of PLL. Actually, I love how the show has pop culture references and the violins in the background for suspense are off the chain.

P.P.S. Oh and Emma's dis-flowering was sent to everyone, who had a phone.

S2 E4

Again, I'm just waiting for something big time and son from another mother isn't it. Last week Jamal found out he had a son from a romance well before his marriage. It was a Romeo & Juliet story. He was Al-Fayeed and she was a Rashid. They produced a boy that would grow up to be an amazing man. I know he didn't want to choose sides, but I hope this isn't the last we've seen of him.

Barry is still in that little town and now is apparently going to stay there for 6 months to take care of a kid a mother left behind to go to Germany. But now the woman has been caught by Ihab. I don't know what he's thinking. It's one thing to go against your government and another to use innocent people. You lose all credibility when you do that. He's no better than the real ISIS and now I lost respect for his cause.

Molly and Sam are coming to Abbudin just so Sam can get his inheritance. We all know this isn't going to go well and the evil side of me hopes they don't make it alive. You should know already I'm not a big fan of Molly and Sam.

S1 E2

I wasn't too sure if I was going to add this on my list, but after the ending last week, how could I not?

Rachael was the victim of the week and I liked Rachael for the brief time we have known. I didn't think she deserved to die. But the show must go on. Aubrey deals with the lost of her girlfriend and Emma realizes that bystanders are part of the problem when it comes to bullying.

Noah might have lost his v-card. They didn't show it so unless he confirms, it's still up in the air for me. As for Brooke, she's still doing the teacher. I really hope they expand on her character because she's a board right now.

I actually prefer Will over Kieran. I hate guys like Kieran, they add nothing for me. I'm always wanting them to do something, but all they do is watch people. As annoying as Will is and the fact that he's a cheater on top of it, doesn't make me like him more. Actually now that I think about, I hope Emma doesn't get with any of these guys.

Who's the next victim? I hope it's the teacher. He needs to die.

The biggest thing that happened last week was Ahmed cutting his hair. He looks so much better though. I guess you could say the bomb was a big deal, but I didn't think it was because we knew it was going to happen last episode. I was more shocked that Jamal was shocked about the chemical weapons being deployed. Don't get me wrong, I like watching this show I just want more to happen each episode. There really hasn't been that much happening. The pace needs to be faster. I want more!

Barry is faking his identity to a family that is helping him out. I like the father. He is a good man; however, I hate that he has 2 wives. Ugh!

I wish we had more Emma than Sam. Sam received $100 million from a trust fund. Ugh! I still don't see why the show spends so much time with them. The whole religion thing with Molly was unnecessary, but it did give a nice montage at the end with everyone praying.

Leila is the biggest female mystery to me on TV. One minute, I think she's evil and the next, I think she has a heart. She doesn't want Jamal to be like his father and didn't want to believe what she knew would be true that he was covering up the chemical attack. I bet she's missing Barry right now.

The resistance are weak for now, but they are not out.

So Barry was walking to his death when some scavengers found him half dead and think he's an escape and can get a good amount of money for him.

Abbudin is rich with oil, which is probably why we were making nice with them. However, since the US was helping with the coup, Jamal now wants to work with China, our frenemy. Meanwhile, Rashid came up with a plan to kill Jamal. He got one of his soldiers to try to take Jamal out, but it didn't work and the soldier ended up being shot multiple times. The show ends with Jamal promising that he will get his revenge.

On the other side of the world, well, does anyone care what happening with Barry's family in the US? I know I don't. If you must know, Molly is grieving and has no idea what to do with her life after Barry and Sam got a random call from his booty-call.

Now it seems like tonight's episode will show Jamal following through with his threat and is planning a chemical attack. I feel like the US will get involved somehow. At least that's what we did in real life. But what I'm looking forward to is seeing Leila upset about it. Woman still confuses me.

There really isn't that much to go over. The last episode can be summed up in 1 sentence: Everyone thinks Barry is dead except Jamal, who released him in the desert to die.

It's kind of poetic if you think about it. Barry wanted the land so Jamal gave it to him and Barry will be consumed by it. But we all know the hero isn't going to die. This isn't Game of Thrones.

If you really want to know more I guess I could tell you Ahmed wants to go to Europe to open a hotel and Jamal doesn't like that one bit and also Molly went back to America. I wonder how long the kids have been separated from their parents. I really hope this season doesn't focus on them all too much.

Tyrant Season 1 Review

Hey People,

So I just finished the season finale and I thought I had one more episode to go but it turns out that I don't. My heart sank when I realized the last episode I just watched was the finale. This show good and I mean really good. It kept my interest throughout the entire season and progressed at a fair pace.

Tyrant ended on a note I didn't think they were going to take. I thought there could be a lot more material for the writers if there was a coup, but now that the jig is up, I wonder what Barry will do next. This show really dives into the whole do the ends, justify the means debate and I like having that discussion. Barry isn't as good as when we first encounter him, but we discover he is a man that looks at the big picture instead of the victims along the way. I'm guessing most people would agree with me when I say he would make a better president than his brother Jamal something that his father and Shiek saw as well. I don't think Barry is a man seeking power; however, that could change since his demeanor towards his wife has already been changing since he arrived in Abbudin.

Tyrant Review

Hey People,

So I just dived into this new show called Tyrant and boy was my mind blown to bits. Get it? After you're done shaking your head at me, I would like for you to understand that I liked this show quite a bit. It's been a while since I watched a FX show. I tried The Bridge but I just couldn't get into it. I do however wonder the result of the girl cut in half from time to time. I think the last show I was committed to on FX was Nip/Tuck. Damn that was forever ago, but I think I just found something to replace it. Let me explain.

Summary: A man running from his past is clinging to the only family he knows--his wife, his son, and his daughter. But for his nephew's wedding, he decides to go back after 20 years to face his demons--his side of the family.

This show is set in a fictional country in the Middle East, with no big star names to head the show. The only actor I know is Justin Kirk and I can't remember from what. He just has one of those Iknowyoufromsomewhere faces. Kirk plays John Tucker, a U.S. diplomat, and I must say I do not trust him. But I am glad that this is a fake country, so the writers can't step on anyone's toes and I also like how they portray the U.S. We are neither good nor bad. Like I just said, I don't even trust our diplomat, but it's because Barry grew up in the states to run away from his problems paints the U.S. as a type of sanctuary for him.
