TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 2 "Paradox" [Emz]

So I just watched the second episode of Season 3. This one is called "Paradox." 

This episode originally aired on the 11th October 2016 on The CW.

Here is the synopsis:

Barry realizes the effects from Flashpoint are much greater than he thought. Meanwhile, Barry meets new co-worker Julian Albert and is surprised by Julian's immediate disdain for Barry.

Review:

Now this episode showed more of the outcome of the aftermath of Barry creating Flashpoint and then trying to reverse it.

Iris and her father don't talk, Cisco has lost his brother, Diggle (Arrow) has a son and not a daughter and Barry has a new work colleague in Julian Albert (Tom Felton.)

It was interesting to see Barry try t act like everything was normal but then he realised he couldn't keep it a secret any longer after The Rival reappears in this timeline. 

He plans to go back and change the timeline again but is stopped by another Flash, Jay Garrick. Now if my memory serves my right, Jay Garrick has appeared in The Flash season 2 wen Zoom was moonlighting as The Flash in an alternate Universe. In this episode however he has been keeping an eye on Barry and learning what he had done previously and that he was Barry's father's doppelganger (and also the actor played The Flash years ago in the 1990's TV series.)

Once he realises he can't change the past, he comes clean wth the team. Which has mixed opinions to begin with but they all decide to just get on with their lives and not know their lives in Flashpoint.

We also first hear about Doctor Alchemy and discover that Caitlin has freezing powers.

So that was a cliffhanger with Caitlin. I will review the next episode as soon as I can.

Till then

Doctor Foster - Series 2 - BBC One

The critically acclaimed Doctor Foster is returning to BBC One this September. Series 2 picks up two years later then the previous series events, however, this time around it's 'all out war'.

Two years after Doctor Gemma Foster dramatically exposed her husband Simon's betrayals, forcing him to leave town, her life is destabilized once again when he returns.

It''s the show that earned Surrane Jones four nominations in which she won all four; Best Drama Performance (National Television Awards), Best Actress (Broadcasting Press Guild Awards), Best Actress (Royal Television Society Awards) & Best Actress (British Academy Television Awards).

The new five-part second series of Doctor Foster starts on Tuesday 5th September on BBC One at 9pm. Catch up with Series One now on BBC iPlayer.

Stella - Series 6 - Sky 1

When Gavin & Stacey ended in 2010, we were all dreading the thought of not seeing Ruth Jones on our TV screens anymore! So when Sky announced that they were airing Ruth Jones brand new comedy Stella, we were all thrilled! The comedy set in the welsh village of Pontyberry, has been watched and adored by thousands of Sky customers and this September, the final series is due to air.

Take one last trip to Pontyberry in the final series of Ruth Jone's much-loved comedy drama. Stella's boat is rocked when Luke discovers her long-kept secret.

It seems most of the original cast will be back for the final series, so make sure you tune in for Stella's last outing (yes we're all sobbing too!) on Tuesday 12th September at 9pm on Sky 1. If you'd like to get into the series or catch up on series one to five, then head on over to Sky Box Sets, where you can find all of the episodes waiting for you to binge! 

Game of Thrones - Series 1 - Sky Atlantic

We've just had seven weeks of probably the most EPIC television ever to have aired. So whilst you're eagerly waiting for the eight and final series of the worldwide hit, why not re-watch from series one, or if you're new to the series or wish you had watched it from the beginning - here is your chance!

Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond.

It really is worth the watch, it will have you gripped with excitement, episode after episode, and the visuals are unlike television has ever seen before. Catch Game of Thrones from the very beginning (Series One) on Friday 8th September at 9pm on Sky Atlantic.

Top Tip: Don't have Sky? Don't fear... most certainly one of your friends does, so try and get their Sky Go log-in so you can watch wherever you are! If they need to know why... just say... WINTER IS HERE.

That's the top 3 picks for this September's returning faves!

Until the next time!
