Having not watched the original incantation of Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear’s 9-1-1, I decided to give its spin-off, 9-1-1 Lone Star, a chance for some strange reason. Most of that reason is because I’m a Rob Lowe fan, and it was cool to see how much diversity was in the casting.

SAG Awards Recap
We’re in the home stretch people! The SAG Awards are the last major awards ceremony before the Oscars, so it’s just one more indicator of what’s to come. This particular show is about actors recognizing actors, so it’s a nice watch and a very organized and classy event.
Read moreAwards Season: Critic’s Choice
Last night, on the eve of Oscar nominations (more on that in another post), the Critic’s Choice Awards took place. While slightly less star-studded than the Globes last week, there were still some of your favorite A-listers from this year’s biggest and best television series and movies. Let’s review!
Read moreTV Review: Big Little Lies, Season 2
No offense, but I hope this is the last season of Big Little Lies we get. It was supposed to be a limited series, so this second one seems sort of forced, and not much really happens throughout the seven episodes. I feel that they ended it in a way where it can be done forever, and based on the lack of awards it’s won this awards season, it could be actually be done.
Read moreSuccession – Season 1
Even though it’s a new year, all the shows I watch are still on a break, so that means my stingy-ass got a free week trial of HBO Now to watch the first season of Succession (season 2 is already on my DVR from another free trial period). I will say, binging the ten episodes in under a week was intense, but ultimately SO worth it! The awards and recognition it receives totally makes sense!

Wow! What a way to start off the 2020 awards season! I don’t feel that I’m alone in this, but there were some serious surprise wins at the Golden Globes last night, and I’m ready to unpack it all. Winners, snubs, and all things cool and strange.

Hello, friends. Or rather, goodbye. The final two episodes of Mr. Robot aired last night while it was amazing, my heart hurts. What am I supposed to watch on Sunday nights now? Either way, below are some MAJOR SPOILERS, so beware.
Read moreMr. Robot: Season 4, Episode 11 “eXit”
The penultimate episode of Mr. Robot aired, and once again, I am still so confused as to how this can end!!! “Exit” showed some seriously powerful monologues and a WTF ending that has me on the edge of my seat for next week’s two hour series finale.
We open a little backwards in time, with Darlene and Elliot’s sentimental hug goodbye. He also bids Mr. Robot an emotional farewell. Then he’s off to the power plant to shut Whiterose’s project for good. But of course, we left off with Whiterose seemingly going to meet her end with the FBI raiding her home, but you’re a fool if you think the Dark Army doesn’t have her back.
Back at the power plant, Elliot just finishes kicking off the job that should shut it down for good when some Dark Army cronies grab him and lead him through halls of bodies before depositing him in a dark lit room with two computers and a fish. It’s the exact same place where Whiterose spoke with Angela. Whiterose enters, seemingly thrilled to finally get Elliot face-to-face.
They both deliver some pretty powerful speeches, but BD Wong acted his pants off in this extended scene! Recognize the man! Elliot shares that he still has hope in humanity because there are people in this world who can give him what he can’t give himself: love. Whiterose tells him they can go back and make it all better before blowing her brains out. The power plant is about to meltdown, but Elliot finds a game that he’s sure can make it all stop.
Mr. Robot tries to save him, but Elliot is convinced this is it. As the screen fades to red, we are then introduced to parallel-universe Elliot who has his sh** together and is getting married to Angela, has a loving relationship with his father, and is CEO of Allsafe. He meets with F-Corp’s leader, Tyrell (!!!), who wants to know if Elliot is with him, to which he replys, “always.” Everything in this world seems dandy, except for frequent migraines that Elliot’s been getting, but it’s of no concern to him.
As Elliot heads home at the end of the day he’s met with his typical, hooded self at the computer, to which he’s asks, as he’s been asking all along, “Who are you?”
Well, I for one am beyond excited to see how this ends! We still don’t know who that other personality is, and where the heck is Darlene in this alternate universe?! WHAT WILL HAPPEN??? Only a few more days until we find out.
