Secrets And Lies Season 1 Finale Review

Hey People,

I got the feels on this one y'all. I was dropping tears like bombs. I didn't even know it was going to hit me like that, so when I went to my usual places for feedback on the show, I mostly saw people with questions and criticism, the bad kind. I've decided to take on the top complaints.

So I was right Abby was the killer. She was one of my suspects from the beginning. I thought she liked Christmas way too much. Anyway, by the end of the episode, Ben took the blame for killing Tom and so he went to jail. A lot of people had problems with this, but I didn't. Would I have done the same thing for my kid? No. It would actually be better if Abby confessed because she's too young to go to jail and therefore would have to seek psychiatric help because obviously girl has problems. But the reason I didn't have a problem with it was because I understood when it comes down to it, parents want to protect their young, even if that means going to jail. Ben and Christy thought it was their fault that their child had "accidentally" killed someone, whether it was because of the overheard fight or because they had raised her, they felt the need to fix it. This is why when Cornell told Ben there were 6 blows to the head, Ben didn't take back his confession because at the end of the day, he thinks he was a bad parent. But what I think most people are forgetting is that Abby lied to her parents. She told them it was an accident, now if she told them she did it on purpose, it would have been a whole other story. I'm pretty sure they would have listened to Natalie and called the cops on her ass.

Hey People,

PENNY DREADFUL IS BACK!

I've been waiting for this show to come back for so long. It's like all the greats come back at the same time and they're all on the same night. It's a great night tonight folks.

I know there was an early viewing of the premiere tonight, but I haven't watched it yet. Been gaming a bit lately. I'll probably watch it before the premiere and do recaps for you.

So who is her? Damn it Cornell, why didn't you just say the name. Okay I know that I've been rooting for Dave to be the killer. He would have been a great killer, but since it's a woman my call goes to Abby. I still don't think it's Christy. I don't think she's capable of it and as violent as Jess is, I don't think she would hurt her child as her sister claims. Besides that talk between Ben and Abby about how she has to take responsibility really makes me think that she's missing to turn herself in.

Christy is a bitch. I can't stand women who won't let the baby daddys be a part of their children's lives. I wish Ben never slept with Jess. I thought he would deny her because of what Abby said and the way she was acting, but nope, man didn't even hold out a little. Turns out Jess is crazy without her meds, but would probably be really great at throwing daggers.

The season finale is tonight so don't miss it. There has been talk that S&L will be renewed, but probably won't feature the same people except for maybe Cornell. If it does comeback I'll definitely be watching if it is as good as this one.

Hey People,

The Good Wife S6 E19 Review

Congratulations to S&L for being an actually good miniseries that has a chance of being renewed.

I had 3 big problems with this episode though. For one, Ben's attorney sucks. Most criminal defense attorney's wouldn't put their defendant on the stand unless they absolutely have to that doesn't mean if Ben can't go on the stand that he should admit guilt. If I was Ben I would have fired the lawyer on the spot. On top of that I don't see why the lawyer has to go after Christy at all. Ben should no longer be at fault when someone else drugged him. No offense to his best friend, but the lawyer should go after Dave as the responsible party. The other thing is just Christy being a bitch. It's just so wrong how she uses her kids against him. Ben doesn't want her money, all he wants is to spend time with his children and she won't even let him do that, not even on frickin Christmas. Lastly, why didn't Ben wipe down the weapon before he threw it down the hole? Didn't even wipe down the handle bars. If you re-watch the scene you'll notice Dave uses his sweatshirt to not leave fingerprints. Dave knows the deal.

I'm glad that Ben finally remembers that night and he's not the killer, but what I'm really glad about is how the story flowed and actually made sense. It wasn't some half-ass concoction that was so out there that I wouldn't be able to get behind. I've always thought the killer was either Christy, Dave, or Abby, but now I definitely think it's Dave. I think Christy will be the last red herring with having a secret stash of money. I don't think she knew about the affair and that someone told her. Maybe even Kevin, the neighbor who tried to kill Ben, told her or maybe it was Dave himself. The reason I think it's Dave is because he knows too much. I don't think he got the flashlight to help out Ben, but to torment him with it again, but he didn't plan on Christy seeing Ben in the woods. Dave drugged Ben to begin with and Dave seemed disappointed about not going with Ben to finish their game of tracing the night. Plus, Dave seems dumb, but legally he seems to know his shit (not leaving fingerprints behind). My money is on Dave.

Hey People,

I always think I'm done with this show and then I watch the next episode and I get sucked back in all over again.

Ben tries to help the reporter take down Cornell by discrediting her past cases, but that backfires because Cornell was right about them including her daughter, who should be locked up in jail for writing prescriptions using her father's pad, which made him lose his license.

Ben puts it together that the reporter leaked the info of Tom's biological father by paying a cop, so now he's back in jail.

Ben got rid of the "present" in the woods and when Christy asked him what he was doing in those woods he lied and said he was taking a leak. Christy knew he was lying and complained to her brother about it, who then called the cops to search the woods. However, they didn't find the "present" so where is it? Christy can no longer stand Ben's lies and gives him an ultimatum to either tell her the truth or she walks and Ben chose for her to walk. That was a pretty heavy scene. It even had my eyes watering reminding me of my parents divorce.

So now Cornell knows Ben had a blackout and can't remember anything from that night from the taxi camera (but I don't know any taxi camera that shows what happens outside the taxi, but whatever), which means he could have been capable of anything that night, especially when the camera shows him walking towards Tom's house. So why didn't Jess say anything to Ben about that night?

Last time, Ben confronted Keven, the neighbor, because he thought he was behind all the hacker crap that's been going on since he worked for the government. Ben was right. Man thought Ben was guilty and actually ended up kidnapping him and tried to torture the truth out of him. But the truth is, at least for now, Ben didn't kill Tom. Kevin has been watching Ben for years and hated Ben because he slept with Jess, another soldier's wife. Kevin has some issues because obviously someone slept with his wife when he was away and now he's taking all his anger out on Ben. In the end, Kevin was caught by Cornell, who suspected Kevin all along.

At the end of the episode, Ben's reading his emails and opens up an unpublished article on his family. So he goes over to the reporter's place and was just about to beat the living shit out of him until the reporter tells him that he was just using the article to get Ben's attention and that he isn't after his family, but after Cornell.

I felt bad for Jess. Like Dave said, she has no one and Ben tossed her out like chick was nothing. I'm not saying start another affair with her, but it doesn't hurt to talk out in the open where Christy can see them at all times.

Possibly Killer:

1. Abby
2. Dave
3. Christy

Hey People,

I'm finally caught up to The Walking Dead.

S5 E15

We'll save Crazy Rick for last. Glenn confronts Nicholas and tells him its for everybody's best interest if he stays within the walls since all he knows how to do is run away. We find out that Nicholas is the one that took Rick's gun from the blender. Now I'm wondering who is he going to use it on.

Carl was getting all close to Enid. BTW, that was an awesome tree, just saying. Daryl and Aaron are looking for the person who writes "W" on the foreheads of walkers. This person is the same person who released walkers into Noah's camp and is doing the same thing to Alexandria.

Michonne and Rosita go out looking for Sasha, who is sick and tired of playing defense. Girl still isn't over her PTSD yet and I think Michonne and Rosita are both realizing what Carl and Enid already know. They should be out in the wild so they don't become soft.

As for Rick, he has lost his damn mind. Someone put it nicely when they said Rick is becoming Shane. Rick's biggest mistake was listening to Carol. The woman's solution to anything is to kill someone.

Little Kid: I broke a nail.
Carol: I need to kill you. You will only slow me down.

I understand where Rick is coming from. Their group isn't prepared for what's on the outside. They wouldn't survive because they haven't had it tough yet. They rather save themselves than help save someone else. However, you don't just kill a person just for beating his wife (as much as I hate wife beaters). Kicking him out is like a death sentence. Man wouldn't survive a day out there. He's a alcoholic wife beater. But the way Rick was talking sounded like Ricktatorship was back in full effect and Michonne was having none of it. So yes, I was Team Michonne. Someone had to shut Rick up before his mouth proved what Gabriel said about the group (being devils) was correct.

My Death Wishlist: Gabriel, Nicholas, and Carol

I hear Daryl may die tonight. I don't think he will, but I may be wrong. It would be sad if he does though. Hopefully, Morgan shows up tonight.

This is it folks. Tonight is the season finale, so don't miss it. You're most likely not going to because TWD is the most watch television show on TV.

The Good Wife S6 E16 Review

S1 E5

Ben, oh Ben, why do you have to accuse everyone in your neighborhood? So far you have been right 0 times. I'm surprised the neighbors haven't kicked you guys out of the neighborhood. So the accusation-of-the-week was the neighbor with the mentally challenged son. Ever since the news people came to town, the challenged boy has been having a difficult time settling into his routine. He acts out because of it, but there's no way he could have killed the little boy because he's afraid of rain and the boy was killed while it was raining, so out that theory went. There was also a thing about the neighbor's other son, but he didn't do it either. Besides he called the police to confess to hitting mailboxes while driving drunk. He went to rehab and now the boy is clean.

It seems like the Detective is finally not viewing Ben as the prime suspect anymore when she receives a text from an anonymous person to visit Ben's house only to find a bunch of flashlights in his garage. The murder weapon was never made public. 

The paint job of "guilty" on Christy's car was Nat's boyfriend. I guess, I should say ex-boyfriend now. All because Ben wouldn't let him see his daughter. Yea, that's how you win him over, write guilty on his wife's car.

Christy admits she doesn't know what to feel with Ben because as much as she wants to be mad even though she still loves him, it's not about her because a child is dead. She's been hanging out with a client and who knows if she'll take her frustrations out on him, sexually. Nat get's in a fight with Jess because Jess just found out Nat wasn't actually babysitting one night and she let Tom see his father, but Nat owns her mistakes like her father taught her. As for Abby, she was uninvited to a party because of hitting the boy at the party last week and parents don't think it's safe to have her at the party. 

Potential Killers: My money is still on Abby (she likes Christmas too much), Dave (he knows more than he lets on, plus it seems he has nothing to do all day so he could have done it), or Christy (maybe that's she stays away from the house so much, too get away from what she's done).

Hey People,

There goes Ben again, accusing people left and right. First he accused his best friend was sexing his teenage daughter and then he started accusing his neighbors of beating their child to death and therefore must have killed his son. On both accounts he was wrong. His best friend is like an uncle to his daughter and his neighbors kid had hemophilia caused by the incest of the parents. They were half-siblings. I can tell you one thing: I didn't see that coming.

I knew that guy Ben was painting for was a reporter. I thought he would have revealed himself earlier, but I guess it makes sense to do it now since he had a juicy story. I wonder why Ben didn't just give him the exclusive instead of having him write about his neighbors. That's the least he could do after opening a can on worms on them.

Also worthy to note, his daughter is not pregnant and thank God for that. That girl plus pregnancy would be overload.

Hey People,

Can I just applaud Ryan Phillippe for a moment? Well done. Usually when I watch shows and actors are mad some just raise their voice to show it, but with Ryan, you actually felt it. The anger, the rage. He made me think he would actually kill someone in that state, but to be honest wouldn't most of us get that anger in the same position and say the same thing? I know I would.

Turns out the AWOLer didn't kill his son, but if he didn't do it, then the cops are going to be at Ben's doorstep again. So someone planted the flashlight in Ben's car or did it fall out from its hiding spot? I do have to say hiding it with the gifts was genius, but he should have just turned it in. Hiding evidence only makes you look more guilty.

As for his daughter, well she's a train wreck and she seems to be very distraught about Tom or was it because she was pregnant? I can never tell with teenagers. Either way girl is getting on my nerves. I don't think Dave slept with his daughter, but I can see how Ben jumped to that conclusion. I started to think Ben could have been the killer since he knows more than what he puts on, but there's no motive that I can think of.

Ben vows to Tom's mother that he'll find the killer. Why would he do that? I have no idea. Damn Ben's life sucks so much right now. I'm loving it.

I didn't think I was going to write so much for this since it was a filler, but I did. I guess I have to go back to writing reviews for it.

Secrets And Lies Pilot Review

Hey People,

Well this will be more like the pilot and 2nd episode review since we got to see 2 episodes in one night. I'll keep it short (or at least I'll try to). I liked the show, but I have to admit, I'm torn on whether I should trust this guy or not. Let me explain.

Summary: A man's life is turned upside down because he finds his neighbor's kid dead in the woods when he was out for a run.

This is another miniseries based on another Australian show. The show starts off with the man running in the neighborhood screaming for help. When he finally makes it back to the house, he calls 911 to tell them about neighbors kid. Great start if you ask me. Then we meet the detective who, to me, automatically assumes the man is guilty. I mean, girl was pressing him. Yes, she definitely has a strange personality, but she must see something I don't because she's just sending all vibes saying, "I know you killed the boy."

We find out the 1st episode that the media has already pinned the murder on him. Why? Because he found the body of course. No other reason than that. I'm sorry, but that's the only thing I'm finding hard to believe right now. Everyone is against him because he found the body running. Even the detective was suspicious about him running. Why today and not tomorrow? Really? People run it's not suspicious. Where's Team Castle when you need him? Even this would be too far-fetched for Castle. Anyway, media is harassing him and his relationship with his wife already seems crappy and it's about to get crappier. We find out by the end of the 1st episode that the man was the father of the boy.
