Just like the People’s Choice Awards, the American Music Awards really aren’t that much better. They are both voted on by the fans, but the nominees are obvious and repetitive among so many categories. Despite me not being a huge fan of top 40 music, I was pretty entertained by the musical performances, and there were a ton of them!

This is Us Season 4 in Review
As I did with season 3, I am repeating for season 4 of This is Us. It’s just easier for me to digest this way. That, and the tears scare me. Either way, here’s a brief recap of the Pearson clan.

This week’s episode of Prodigal Son reverted back to the weekly procedural format, but they definitely made it interesting!

While this was another great episode in Mr. Robot‘s fourth season, it, like others, didn’t really seem to propel the story forward very much.

While the Grammy’s are frustrating in the way that they almost completely ignore rock, the People’s Choice Awards are frustrating in that seriously poor performances win all of the awards!
Read moreTV Recap: Prodigal Son
Hoo-boy! Prodigal Son has solidified last week’s impressive episode with another one! No more of this one episode procedural crap. Malcolm is hell-bent on finding Paul, an old acquaintance of his father, who has been killing people for the past 17 years. He thinks back to their phone call and remembers Paul saying that Malcolm interrupted him when he went looking for his father’s old car in the junkyard. That’s all the ammo Malcolm needs to go back to the junkyard, where him and Gil find a buried Winnebago. Against Gil’s wishes, Malcolm jumps in and eds up finding a man handcuffed in a room.

Now that season nine of American Horror Story: 1984 is over, I’ve gathered my thoughts on the whole thing. But first, a brief recap of the last four episodes.
Read moreMr. Robot Season 4, Episode 6 “Not Allowed”
After last week’s intense episode, I was curious as to how “Not Acceptable” would unfold. As the title of the episode implies, there were some seriously shady dealings taking place.
We open with Vera in Krista’s kitchen, where she’s gagged and tied to a chair. He tells her a story seemingly from his life about “a little b**** and a bully.” The LB loves baseball more than anything and gets a metal bat for Christmas. When he takes it outside to play with it the bully shows up, but LB has had enough and beats the bully within an inch of his life. After that, LB realizes he has control. And he still wants control, so Krista is his bat in order to get Elliot on his team. Just like Tyrell, Vera thinks the two are connected, but I can’t imagine Elliot conceding too easily.
Elsewhere, Elliot picks up something from Leon at a coffee shop before heading over to Olivia’s with peppermint mochas in hand. He breaks down at a high level everything that’s been going on with her company, and that he needs her manager to log into his account. She is rightfully pissed that Elliot lied to her and hacked her life, but Elliot was playing the long game and drugged her drink. That’d be bad news for Olivia’s custody if there were to be a random drug testing. She tries to commit suicide in the bathroom, but Elliot saves her in time and eventually he gets the information he needs, but not before Olivia points the finger and calls him the real monster.
In another tense moment, Dom shows up at Darlene’s place, holding her at gunpoint. After a crazy showdown of will she/won’t she shoot Darlene, she pistol-whips her instead. When Darlene comes to, Dom begs her to shoot her, but that’s cut short when Janice and some other Dark Army thugs show up. All they need is Darlene’s phone to track Elliot to bring to Whiterose, but Darlene wipes it before they can…and that’s where that story ends for the week. Talk about a cliffhanger!
By the end of the episode, Krista has contacted Elliot to come save her, and Elliot seems to know that Vera is going to snag him on the way there. Which he does. So I imagine this ending is setting us up for a Vera/Whiterose showdown next week. I’m still loving this season, so I still can’t wait!
