TV Review: Black Lightning Series 1 Episode 4 "Black Jesus" [Emz]

So here is Episode 4. I am a few episodes behind in writing, but I will be reviewing all episodes asap.

So this episode is called Black Jesus. The episode aired on Netflix on the 13th February 2018.

Here is the synopsis:

Black Lightning is recruited to rally against the 100 gang; Anissa investigates the new drug hitting the streets; familiar faces begin to reappear.

Review:

This episode has very strong themes of Gang Violence and Drug Use.

The theme of drug use start at the beginning of the episode with Jefferson responding to a situation in the boys bathroom. Jefferson arrives to see a student acting irrationally, to stop the boy from hurting himself on anyone else, Jefferson has to use his powers to knock him out. As it later turns out the boy was high on a new drug called Green Light.

Anissa later spots some of her students being sold Green Light and manages to get them away from the drug dealers empty handed.

Jefferson, as Black Lightning interrogates a drug dealer to find out who is supplying them. He is given the name 2-Bits.

After hearing the boy is going to be expelled for the school, Jefferson tries to get him a second chance at the school.

Tobias finds out that Black Lightning is not dead and has the Mortician who identified him originally killed.

Following the previous episode Jennifer visits Khalil during Physio therapy and overhears that Khalil may never walk again.

After a heated discussion over dinner with her parents and the Inspector, Anissa confronts two drug dealers and uses her power on them. She ends up knocking them unconcious and then calls 911 and leaves the scene..

The episode ends with Jefferson greeting 2-Bits.

I enjoyed this episode. Emotions are everywhere though, you feel angry about the damage the drug is doing and how easy it is for kids to get their hands on it, sad for Khalil and the situation he is in and at the same time sad for Jennifer who is trying to be there for him. 

I can't wait to see Anissa grow in confidence and eventually learn who Black Lightning actually is, that will be interesting.

I will have the next episode up next week.

Till then

TV Review: Black Lightning Series 1 Episode 2 "Lawanda: The Book of Hope" [Emz]

So here we are with episode 2. This episode is called "Lawanda: Book Of Hope."

This episode picks up not too long after the first episode.

Here is the synopsis:

IS HE BACK? — As the community struggles with the violence surrounding them, a glimmer of hope appears: Is Black Lightning back? Lynn Stewart, noticing the changes in the community, is also left wondering. While Jefferson Pierce struggles with his decision, Gambi urges him to take up the mantle once more and return to life as Black Lightning. Anissa and Jennifer try to deal with the aftermath of their jolting experience.

Review:

This episode keeps the recurring themes of Gang Violence, drugs and alcohol. There is also the theme of sexuality as we delve a little deeper into Jefferson's daughters love lives.

Gang violence is shown in quite a but of this episode.

Following the last episode, Jennifer stays at home and gets threatened by a young child that has been sent by Lala. This scares not only Jennifer but also Jefferson and sparks him into going to see Lala, but as himself, not Black Lightning.

We meet Lawanda who is the mother of a missing person who was a former student at the High School. She is asking the question that is on many peoples lips, why did Black Lightning save his children only? She ends up becoming a bit of a Vigilante in order to save her daughter. This results in Lala killing her.

The themes of alcohol are recurring as the pressure of having to act 'perfect' being the Principal's daughter constantly leads Jennifer to act out and drink.

The theme of Sexuality is explored through the love lives of Jefferson's daughters. I mean Jefferson's love life is clearly complicated with his ex-wife but we don't really know much about his daughters. We discover that Anissa has a long term girlfriend and that her parents are aware of her sexuality. Also Jennifer starts a relationship with her friend Khalil.

The death of Lawanda eventually leads Jefferson to become Black Lightning again after feeling guilty for her death as he feels he could have helped.

I think this series grows with each episode and there is more to uncover.

TV Review: Doctor Who Series 2 Episode 1 "New Earth" [Emz]

So I have now reached Series 2. We have a new Doctor (David Tennant) and new adventures.

So we start with the first episode "New Earth."

This episode only has Rose (Billie Piper) and The Doctor (David Tennant) as main cast members. This episode Originally aired on BBC One on the 15th April 2006.

We do have a returning foe though. It isn't a Dalek but it is Cassandra. She was last seen in the Series 1 episode "The End Of The World."

Here is the Synopsis:

In the distant future, an order of cat-nuns cure all illnesses, but the Tenth Doctor is suspicious of their methods. He must uncover the truth and save Rose from the vengeance of his old enemy, the Lady Cassandra.

Review:

So this episode is set after The Christmas Invasion. It was definitely an interesting episode. From Rose being possessed by Lady Cassandra who we previously met in The End Of The World (Series 1 episode 2), The doctor rambling on about the hospital doesn't have a shop. 

We had a Cassandra-Possessed Rose snogging the doctor, I have to admit I found the Doctor's reaction was quite funny - "Still got it."

We find out that the Cat Nuns who run the place are using people as lab rats to test if the cures work before using them on the patients.

The Doctor finds out that Cassandra has possessed Rose and then we have the constant body switch between Rose and The Doctor - "Oh Baby I'm beating out a Samba!" 

The doctor meets and old friend with happens to be The Face Of Boe.

The episode ends with The Doctor curing all the sick people and Cassandra transfers herself into her assistant Chips body, they take her to a time when she was fully human and she dies in front of herself.

I enjoyed this episode and I have watched it many time over. With this being David Tennant's Series debut (1 episode of the series but 2nd episodes overall) i always enjoy it.

It's a full episode debut for his suit though as he spent the majority of The Christmas Special in Pajamas.

Next up is the episode Tooth and Claw. Another favorite of mine.

Till next time

TV Review: Doctor Who Series 1 Episode 9 "The Empty Child" [Emz]

So this is the 1st half of the second of the two-part episodes (there are three two-part episodes in this series)

This episode and the next one... When I first watched them... boy did they creep me out, I don't think I slept well that night. They are still not my favourite episodes and if I keep watching them too much they would still give me the creeps. But  anyway on with the review.

There are a couple of guest stars to mention in this episode: John Barrowman - this was the first episode of Doctor Who he appeared in. Florence Hoath (Fairytale: A True Story), Cheryl Fergison (Eastenders) and Richard Wilson (One Foot In The Grave).

This Episode aired originally on the 21st May 2015 on BBC One.

Here is the Synopsis:

Chasing a metallic object through the Time Vortex, the Ninth Doctor and his companion, Rose Tyler, arrive in London during the Blitz. While Rose meets "Captain Jack Harkness", the dashing Time Agent responsible for bringing the object, the Doctor finds a group of homeless children terrorised by Jamie, an "empty" child wearing a gas mask.

Review:

What an episode this was. I was always used to the weird and the downright bonkers but this episode creeped me out.

So We learn that most of the universe use Code Mauve for Emergencies. The Doctor and Rose follow a Cylinder heading for the centre of London.

They materialise in London 1941, right in the middle of The Blitz. The doctor goes to find out where they are and what year they are in. In the meantime Rose follows a Boy who she thinks is lost. She ends up floating in the air attached to a Barrage balloon and is saved by Captain Jack Harkness.

The Doctor in the mean time is searching for Rose and heads back to the TARDIS and the outside phone rings despite someone telling him not to answer it he does so anyway. This is where the main part of the story begins, He hears are you my mummy? down the telephone. 

So we have a child with a Gas Mask on his face and he constantly chants are you my mummy? The Doctors been warned not to touch the boy else he will turn into a Gas Mask Zombie also.

The doctor finds hospital ward full of people in seemingly Catatonic states with Gas Masks on their faces. There is one doctor looking after them (Richard Wilson) before he too turns into one of them.

To finish off the episode, Rose and Jack catch up with The Doctor (Who Jack thinks is called Doctor Spock) and he thinks he can buy the TARDIS from him as he is a Conman. They are then trapped as the Gas Mask people wake up and corner them chanting are you my mummy?

This episode was extremely creepy and it was emphasised by the location of London in the middle of the Blitz and its at night with bombs dropping and light flashing.

I will review the Second half "The Doctor Dances" next time.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 6 "Shade" [Emz]

So this episode marks the beginning of Kid Flash.

Here is the synopsis:

Wally starts having dreams about being Kid Flash, making Barry realize he must tell Wally, Iris and Joe what happened to Wally in Flashpoint.

Review:

I enjoyed this episode. It was interesting to see how Doctor Alchemy gives people powers that their Flashpoint selves lived with.

We also see The Flash battle Shade and Caitlin informs Cisco of her powers.

They try to use Wally as Bait to capture Doctor Alchemy , just for it to backfire and him to escape. In this process Wally ends up encased in a Cocoon and we earn that Doctor Alchemy is just a lackey for someone else. Calling themselves Savitar.

That's all for this post.

TV Review: Doctor Who Series 1 Episode 8 "Father's Day" [Emz]

Now this episode is a little emotional, but at the same time seems to teach Rose about the consequences that time travel can cause.

This episode is called Fathers Day. It originally aired on BBC One on the 14th May 2005.

Here is the synopsis:

Pete Alan Tyler, the father of Rose and husband of Jackie, died on 7 November 1987, the day of Stuart Hoskins and Sarah Clark's wedding. Rose was just a baby at the time, Jackie told the young Rose that nobody was there for Pete when he died and that the hit-and-run driver was never found...
Now grown up, Rose asks the Ninth Doctor to take her to see him alive, but on a whim, ends up changing his fate, not realising the consequences of such a paradox. After all, the Doctor has saved so many lives...what could the real consequences be over a man alive in the world who wasn't alive before?

Review:

Now this episode was a bit of a tearjerker. Rose and The Doctor travel back to 1987 on the day that Rose's father was killed. The only issues is that Rose creates a Paradox by travelling back twice and saving her fathers life. 

In the process the Reaper arrive to clean up her mess. The Doctor is angry and Rose just wanted to meet her father. 

Of course they have to take shelter in the Church and when Rose's father realises who she is, he also gets her to hold herself and that causes The Doctor to sacrifice himself.

In the end Pete (Rose's father) realises that he shouldn't have lived as he witnesses the car that was supposed to have hit him going round and round the same place. He sacrifices himself to save everyone. 

I found this episode a liittle sad but I felt it also showed a valuable lesson in Time travelling.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 5 " Monster" [Emz]

Now this episode is again a little different. The hint of the difference is in the title.

So "Monster" originally aired on the 1st November 2016 on The CW.

Here is the synopsis:

Caitlin visits her mother to help her understand her growing meta-human powers; Barry tries to convince Julian to let him help investigate a new meta-human that is attacking Central City.

Review:

So it seems a monster is terrorising Central City. Barry and the team are having trouble with it. The other problems that they are facing are Barry being shown up  to his boss by Julian as he is late a number of times and disappears alot. 

The team are also having issues with H.R. Wells as he hasn't really done much since he arrived. 

Caitlin has taken time off and went to meet with her mother to see if she can help her with her Ice powers, they go through a number of tests until her mothers colleague doesn't want to let her go.

In the end Barry seems to make some leeway with Julian after they work out that the Monster is a Hologram and is being programmed by a young boy.

The team also realise that H.R. isn't a scientist at all.

I enjoyed the way this episode went but flt sorry for Barry and Caitlin, but laughed alot at H.R and the way he kept repeating everything Cisco and Barry said.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 4 "The New Rogues" [Emz]

Now episode 4 "The New Rogues". It was originally released on the 15th October 2016. This is an interesting one. We begin with a flashback from three years before. We also have a guest appearance from Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), who is currently, as far as Barry knows with the Legends.

Here is the Synopsis:

Mirror Master joins his old partner, Top, and looks to even the score with Snart; Jesse joins the chase, but her decision to defy one of Barry's orders results in terrible consequences.

Review:

I enjoyed this episode. It was a little bit different. Instead of this pair getting powers from Doctor Alchemy as they are calling him, this couple - Sam Scudder and Rosalind Dillon (aka Mirror Man and Top)

They are old "cohorts" of Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold. So they appear t have received their powers at the same time as Barry, when the particle accelerator exploded. Fast forward to present day in this episode and Rosalind is in Jail and we discover that Sam has been trapped in a mirror for 3 years.

Elsewhere, with Earth 2's Harry Wells preparing to go home along with Jesse, he helps the team search for another Harry Wells from another of the multiverses.

We also see Caitlin ice powers take hold, when Barry gets trapped in a Mirror when fighting against Sam and Jesse is unable to help as whilst battling Rosalind she is affected by Vertigo. SO, after Harry and Cisco's attempt to free Barry doesn't work, she freezes the mirror and he manages to escape.

It was also interesting to see a relationship between Jesse and Wally. Plus finally we meet anther Harry Wells, who calls himself H.R.

I each episode gets more interesting and I look forward to the next one.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 3 "Magenta" [Emz[

So I have recently watched episode 3 of The Flash Season 3. This episode is called "Magenta".

This episode Guest stars Joey King (Ramona and Beezus, White House Down, Wizards of Waverly Place.) We also have the reappearance of Jesse and Harry Wells from Earth 2.

Here is the synopsis:

Wells asks Barry and Caitlin to talk Jesse out of using her speedster powers; Magenta uses a power to control metal to terrorize the city.

Review:

This was a good episode. Alchemy strikes again with Magenta attacking the city, we also see Jesse and Harry Wells form earth 2, making an appearance as Jesse gets her speed. This upsets Wally who doesn't have any powers yet.

I liked the way Harry as an protective Dad and didn't want Jesse to go Zooming off into danger (no pun intended) he tried to get the others to dissuade her, but she figures it out.

The ending was great, with Jesse getting her first taste at helping to save the day and sing her speed to its full potential

I will hopefully watch episode 4 soon.

TV Review: 12 Monkeys Season 1 Episode 4 "Atari" [Emz]

So it's episode 4"Atari" and it seems in this episode Cole's past is catching up with him. Yes, we learn more about Cole's life before time travel.

Here is the synopsis:

A fight for the future ensues when a dangerous band of marauders hunting for Cole and Ramse threatens the mission to save the past.

Review:

So in this episode, we learn more about Cole and his life before time travel. At the end of the last episode we meet Max, who seems to have big ties to his past.

Max is a part of the group, West VIII. We learn that whilst trying to survive, Coel and Ramse join West VIII, they were quite a brutal group. Obviously we know they escaped at some point, but in the present for Cole, they try to hold them off getting into the building, with not much success. 

Cole is transported back a few days instead of 2015 which is the attempt. but ends up being the reason behind the invasion to begin with.

He get kidnapped by West VIII, but freed by Max, who joins the cause and they stop the takeover but the leader of West VIII sees the Machine and now has some knowledge of what is going on there.

I enjoy seeing all the twists this story is producing and the way the story flicks between 2015 and 2043 (also the occasional time travel back to other years.)

I am looking forward to seeing what is to come.

Till next time

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.

TV Review: The Inhumans Season 1 Episode 1 "Behold... The Inhumans" [Emz]

Now I have just watched the first episode of this. I finally found a way.

There are a few familar faces in this show. Iwan Rheon (Misfits, Game of Thrones) and Serinda Swan (Chicago Fire.)

Here is the synopsis for this episode:

The royal family -- stranded in Hawaii after a military coup -- faces internal strife, which they must overcome in order to return home before their way of life is destroyed forever.

Review:

This episode was interesting. It seems it might be a slow burner. It takes alot of getting used to. i have been a little confused.

As time goes on in the episode I got a little more used to what was going on. Hopefully that will continue.

So we have Black Bolt, Medusa, Maximus, Crystal, Gorgon and Karnak as the Inhuman Royal Family.

Maximus overthrows the King and Queen and Crystal uses Lockjaw to send them and Karnak to Earth.

Once on earth they all have trouble blending in. Black Bolt the most as he ends up getting arrested.

It seems a good series but I will see as time goes on.

Till next time.

TV Review: Beyond Series 1 Episode 2 "Tempus Fugit" [Emz]

So I have finally watched the second episode. This episode is a mixture of Holden trying to adjust to his life, but also being very wary of people around him.

Here is the plot:

Holden tries to forget about the strange events he has experienced and lead a normal life; Holden attends a college party with Luke, but his memories of Willa cause trouble; Tom and Diane attempt to bond with their now-adult son.

Review:

This was an interesting episode. it continues on from last time but Holden is very jumpy as he doesn't understand what is happening to him.

He keeps seeing people and places but he isn't physically there. The biggest reaction is when his brother takes him to a college party and he inhales drugs through a game. The effect ends up making him burn the house down by accident.

We also see the man in the yellow jacket from last time and find out he is working for someone called Frost.

I will review episode 3 eventually

TV Review: 12 Monkeys Season 1 Episode 3 "Cassandra Complex" [Emz]

So here we are with episode 3, The Cassandra Complex. This episode takes Cole to Haiti in the search for the night room.

Here is the plot:

Cole is led to Haiti in 2014, where a dangerous outbreak proved to be a devastating moment in Dr. Railly's life.

Review:

It's interesting to see how this story is developing. Cole is travelling into the past and is changing the way things are happening in the future. He's also meeting people when he knows who the are but they don't know who he is. 

In this episode he has to go one year into the past before he re-meets Cassandra. He is there to see someone else and he has to avoid Cassandra. When he shows up again in 2015 he has more secrets than when he went into 2014.

We also get a little insight into Cole's past in the future and t's quite clear it's not exactly a good one.

I am intrigued with the pace of the story and am looking forward to watching more.

Next up is Episode 4 "Atari."

TV Review: Doctor Who Series 1 Episode 2 "The End Of The World" [Emz]

Here we go again. Episode 2 The End Of The World. The Episode was originally released  on 2nd April 2005.

I can't help myself when it comes to Doctor Who.

Here is the Plot for Episode 2:

The Doctor takes Rose on her first voyage through time, to the year five billion.

Review:

So this was Rose's first voyage in the TARDIS. I liked the way The Doctor gave Rose the chance to pick where to go and each time he tried to sound impressive she just laughed at him.

So the year five billion, witnessing the end of the Earth on Platform One. This is where we first meet the Face of Boe and Cassandra - the last human or as Rose likes to call her a Bitchy Trampoline. It was great that they put the emotion of Rose in there looking down of the earth knowing that even though no one was living there any more, that's where she came from and she thought about all the people who had lived there. Of course this is where the phrase "Jiggery Pokery" came about in Doctor Who and the first use of reversing Teleportation (we see this again in "Boom Town.")

The way the audience is led to believe for a split second that we have found the culprit behind the sabotage until we are informed that they were planted by the real culprit. I felt like I was wattching a Alien crime drama, which is quite cool.

I never get tired of watching Doctor Who.

I will review episode 3 soon.

TV Review: Beyond Season 1 Premiere "Pilot" [Emz]

So I have just started watching this show. I kept seeing it advertised when following Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments.

Here is the Premise for the first episode:

Holden Matthews miraculously wakes up from a devastating coma to the wonderment of his parents Tom and Diane and younger brother Luke. But the world has changed since Holden went to sleep, and he now has to navigate being an adult when all he remembers is being a child. At the same time, Holden is experiencing abilities and memories he can't explain, and a mysterious woman named Willa warns him not to trust those around him. When a sinister stranger attacks Holden and claims he knows about his new powers, Holden is faced with uncovering just what happened to him while he was in a coma.

Review:

Well this was certainly different. Its still sci-fi and fantasy but at least it's not time travel or people would think I was obsessed. 

Anyway, I quite liked this. The fact that he is trying to catch up with what he has missed whilst he was in a coma, but not knowing why everyone seems to be out to get him. It's a little different from your usual coma stories. 

After being given a message on not being able to trust anyone and then a stranger saves him, but doesn't remember them. That makes for an interesting story-line. Having amnesia from a coma is one thing but in this case having amnesia from what happened while he was in the coma is very different.

I look forward to seeing whats to come.

TV Review: 12 Monkeys Season 1 Episode 2: "Mentally Divergent" [Emz]

So this is the second episode of the first season of 12 Monkeys. I may only be 2 episodes in but i'm enjoying taking my time with this show. 

Here is the Premise:

A patient in a mental institution may hold the key to the plague that destroys the world; Dr. Railly risks her life to help Cole, despite the risk to history.

Review:

This episode introduces more characters and how they play a part in the Virus being released/ being created. I liked the way that Cole is meant to be transported back to 2015 again but they get the coordinates wrong and he ends up in North Korea in 2006 (reminds me a little of Doctor Who.) Also the way all the new characters are introduced is brilliant as some of them pop up with no name or background story and yoou are left wondering who the person is.

I really look forward to continuing with this show.

I will review Episode 3 "Cassandra Complex" soon.

TV Review: Timeless Season 1 Episode 3 "Atomic City" [Emz]

So I have finally seen episode 3! This episode is called Atomic City and is based a year before JFK's assassination, 1962.

Here is the Premise for this episode:

Flynn and the team are on the run with the era's most infamous mistress in 1962 Las Vegas; Rufus meets an old mentor who may have dark motives; Lucy's personal life starts to crumble; Wyatt tries to change history.

Review:

I enjoyed the twists in this episode. They travel back in time after Flynn expecting to be trying to stop JFK's assassination a year early. But the story of course takes a twist. I really enjoy the way the story keeps going through different years in the past and each time at least keep coming up against different issues or perhaps its a good thing. With Lucy wearing a very skimpy waitress outfit and getting leered at by other men and Rufus being invisible due to the colour of his skin.

I will hopefully review episode 4 "Party at Castle Varlar" soon.

TV Review: Strike: The Silkworm [Emz]

So these two episodes are based on the second book by Robert Galbraith (pseudonym for J.K. Rowling.) The Silkworm.

Here is the Premise for this story:

Strike is approached by Leonora Quine with a plea to locate her husband, the notorious writer Owen Quine, who has disappeared without a trace.

Review:

I enjoyed this story. The way it started of as a simple missing persons, but ended up as a murder was a little different. I really liked the characters and the way the story takes a twist. 

We also find out a little more about our main characters Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellicott as the story progresses onscreen.

I haven't read the books but in my opinion the idea of the story is portrayed well on screen. I think Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger portray their characters well.

I look forward to seeing Career of Evil in the new year. i would read the books but I have far too many books to go through at the moment.

Thats all for now

TV Review: Timeless Season 1 Premiere "Pilot" [Emz]

So I finally started watching this tonight on Netflix. I have to admit it's not bad. I'll happily watch anything that features time travel (*cough* nothing beats Doctor Who *Cough*) haha!! Anyway, I'm only one episode in and there were alot of faces I recognised but I did have google them to make sure I was correct.

The actors that portray two of the main characters, Abigail Spencer (Cowboys & Aliens, This Mean War) and Matt Lanter (90210, Star-crossed, Vampires Suck) I recognised them but its the actors portraying the recurring and guest characters that  took me by surprise.

So the first is the actress who played the guest character Kate Drummond for this episode, Shantel VanSanten, she has starred in One Tree Hill and The Flash, she is currently starring in Shooter. Also in a recurring are Matt Frewer who I am currently watching in The Librarians (season 1) and Susanna Thompson who for me is best known for playing Moira Queen in Arrow.

Here is the premise from IMDB for this episode:;

An unlikely team must travel through time and stop a criminal mastermind from destroying the past.

Review:

So I've only watched the first episode but, so fat so good. The twists in the story and how they struggle to keep everything as it was in the past, not always with success is very interesting. I am looking forward to seeing how the season progresses. 

That's it for now. I will hopefully review another episode of this in the future,
