Shameless: DNR (2021) Season 11, Episode 10

Moving on , literally moving on ...

[8/10 · 31 March 2021]

Debbie and Franny should be moving somewhere with the Raspberries.

Carl should be moving on into a different job , his current job just is not what it was intended to be .

Kevin and V have moved on :) Mickey and Ian have moved on to a better neighborhood and have a heated swimming pool and a comfy bed with $4 a beer at a near by convenient store.

Lip , Tami and Fred eventually will be moving on , am glad he sold his Indian, at least he got something for it , they haggled but he settled for nine grand.

Pretty much working on two properties by themselves is a hard enough task , Lip has grown up in the last few seasons , he tries , but he has a stubborn family , but by the end of the day , his family will be moving on :)

Frank will be moving on , most likely on a park bench on top of a hill .

Mickey and Kermit's bar sounds cool.

Liam eventually becomes Mayor of the southside, minus the palm trees .

Shameless: Survivors (2021) Season 11, Episode 9

At the end of the day , Lip Gallagher saves the day.

[9/10 · 23 March 2021]

A great show is one that ends on their own way out . A great show gets to choose their own ending. Loose ends are fixed with an lighter . Endings can be made to reflect the journey in which most of the cast can relate to. Liam wants a new family , he thinks his current one would abandon him after the house sells , at the end of the day he is relieved to hear his family will take him in , older brother fixed that mood point (Lip and Tami). Debbie is saved from her inner demons and older brother Lip says family stick together even at dinners with real cooked food. Frank is totally losing it , week after week losing more grey cells , the impression of his charactor is deeming the end and off in the sunset, alone . Mickey says goodbye to his pops in only the way , that made sense burn him in a cardboard box supplied by the state , release the garbage and go where you belong hell. Missing from this episode should have been V and Kev on a honeymoon instead of their usual boring life stuff. Their girls now have to go to a drug dependency group , they have the incredible munchies. Life is changing for everybody now , only way to save each other is stick together like a family.

1,000 Convicts and a Woman (1971)

Fun and Games for a Nympho young woman .

[7/10 · 23 March 2021]

The title in the USA was Fun and Games , that title fit the movie for the star , Alexandra Hay , whose youthful looks make this movie work. Sure typically made movies in the UK had loads of sex , but this was tasteful , one woman depicting a high schooler , she needed sex cause she could not sleep and was lonely , sure like read a book and a cup of tea. Broken home she came from just like her mother the warden said , her beauty , carried the film , filmed in Berkshire , and actually felt like Denmark . Alexandra Hay has been long forgotten , she made a handful of films and in 1993 at 46 passed away , she was a model for real , just like a few of her roles . Descent supporting cast including the only other American in the film David Bauer who played Gribney.

American Gods: Tears of the Wrath-Bearing Tree (2021) Season 3, Episode 10

The bell tolls , the funeral of Mr Wednesday and season 3.

[8/10 · 22 March 2021]

Am saddened that Mr Wednesday has joined Mad Sweeney , most likely two of the best charactors in this show. I still think Lakeside was a cool place to live in. Laura Moon is the reason why this episode began , in theory she should have taken the coin and just gone to Vegas instead , but no instead they all meet in the middle of the country in Kansas. The huge tree at some farm with three Norms and washing Shadow Moon so he can mourn his pop's death for 9 days and 9 nights in the freezing cold in his underwear wrapped up by the vines and roots of the Wrath- bearing tree. Bilquis is now looking for THE OTHER , with the help of Laura Moon and most likely Techo help Boy. The scene in which Mr Wednesday and Shadow Moon on the plane , was like in the first episode of season one , then a few words , Shadow becomes his dad's martyr then M.W opens plane hatch and jumps out. Season 4 will be looking for Shadow Moon's OTHER , the women and other's will be on a mission to figure out who this person is , to aid Shadow on his conquest. We wont have to wait as long as season 3 came out to finally see the end finally happen.

Shameless: Cancelled (2021) Season 11, Episode 8

Mickey's dad , Deb's day off , Carl's new job, Frank is somewhere.

[9/10 · 17 March 2021]

First of all , in her debut as an director Shanola Hampton gets a 10/10, She hit all the corners in the beginning , middle and the end , she represented how Shameless was in the earlier episodes , a reality check , she covered everything , it was like going back in time and ended with her getting married to Steve Howey , actually seemed real. (Zoom wedding). Now the episode in which she directed , the stolen bikes and parts , Lip and Tam trying to solve and rid of the problem , but now have one with Brad. Watch for Tam smothering Brad with a pillow . Debbie takes a day off and thru Shanola's vision , you get sorta a Fiona look on life , bar groupie , cheap sex , then ridding of her ex. Carl becomes a vice cop , of course that last's one day , in which he wrecks a very expensive car and saves the Alibi Room from getting busted. Frank in the beginning tries to get the microwave started by using a tv remote , that was actually funny, but eventually at the end , the family finds out he has alcoholic dementia (he pickled his grey cells over 40 years and now is losing his memory). Mickey is truly a good charactor , has become one of the stars of this winding down show , he tries to hire a nurse for his ailing dad and eventually after several nurses they get an ex nun who in theory burdens Mickey and Ian with a bag over the face , AMEN. The spoiler in America would be if Mickey and Ian have a spin off show, with Carl as the local Sgt busting chaos .

American Gods: The Lake Effect (2021) Season 3, Episode 9

Never liked the video store owner , always nosy...

[9/10 · 15 March 2021]

Let's see Lakeside is a town that lives in the memories of your childhood , people always smiling saying hello to each other , knowing each other, but always there is one person , who is the towns gossip , the nosy one , the troublemaker and also the cleaner. Julia Sweeney was Lakeside's .

Detective Shadow moon saves the day and now Lakeside can move on and be with the rest of the country, GREAT , sorry Lakeside , sorry Derek , sorry Allison , sorry Sandy and the many others who the nosy one snuffed , felt the Norse Gods had to have an sacrifice every so often to keep the stars in line, SUPER.

Laura Moon took a quick class and learned how to throw the GOD killing spear and silenced Mr Wednesday , and Mr World wanted to do this honor.

Fast moving episode , a lot of darkness , nice warm fire , would have been nice to see Cloris Leachman say Godspeed thru the stars .....

Prodigal Son: Face Value (2021) Season 2, Episode 7

Lou Diamond Phillips directs this episode.

[9/10 · 12 March 2021]

First of all , botox really kills , makes faces look like monsters . Martin gets a job with Mrs Michael Douglas and on her first day saves her bacon , then gets a butterscotch candy. Ainsley has a problem about killing people , but eventually its pay back to Malcolm on how he covered up a murder in the mom's house. She never killed anyone , it was just pig's blood , so Ainsley drives Malcolm bonkers once more. Alan Cumming a matured actor plays a cop on the trail of murder from Estonia back to the USA for the April debut of S2 the summer episodes. Lou Diamond Phillips for his birthday present directed this fine episode , all the charactor's did a fine job representing Face Value.

9-1-1: Breaking Point (2021) Season 4, Episode 8

2nd review , first one was too mature to be rated properly .

[6/10 · 11 March 2021]

This episode could have better , seemed that Bobby was directing it, stick to making great dinners and saving people's lives. Buck needs to be loved by a good woman , a understanding newsperson , who looks beautiful in a red dress. The beginning was typical of 911 something extreme happens , but was edited by Bobby. Stewardess jumps off plane with champagne bottle only to have the cork penetrate one of the baggage handlers and here is the kicker , this guy back in season 3 got stuck in the fuselage , talk about changing your profession. Another 27 minutes or boring stuff and then the end . Bobby stop directing you are making viewers turn to paint dripping off walls on the Home network.

American Gods: The Rapture of Burning (2021) Season 3, Episode 8

Love that Peacock.

[9/10 · 11 March 2021]

Starts in a old hotel in 1951 , lovely place , a stranger enters it and after a little chat changes the place forever with some god magic. Let's see the dentist takes Shadow Moon to Wolf's Den , on the way a nosy guy , gets his throat removed , then the dentist has a fight with Odin , loses then burns, so no more followers have to die , yippy. Getting back to the future present day same hotel must be having some kind of conference party for a fancy dress for peacocks. Laura and Salim have some drinks and discuss about the spear in which Laura eventually gets it , wtg babe. Technical Boy gets a update , his hard drive was boosted by some old gateway hard drive. Best part was on the bridge when Laura Moon says goodbye to Mad Sweeney's ashes , very sentimental then Salim preys under a bridge to the sweater Gods. I did a re edit the beginning had a point of saying who you were in your present body and the late night party just meant people wanted to be desired , anything or everything happened, its a fantasy show and yet some parts are most definitely real , like in today's society.

9-1-1: Lone Star (2020– )

Super Ranger , Explosion , Severe downpour.

[7/10 · 10 March 2021]

I enjoy week to week episodes , its gritty and looks real .

Carlos the cop did a fine job in realizing not all bank robbers are bad people , he was convinced that the guy with the 27k was really scared for his life and son , eventually helping the cops track the bombers, Carlos dad , who knew he was gay , took too long to tell him and tell him he was a good cop. (Sentimental is a under statement). T K needs to stay out of the hospital he is almost like Buck from the other series . The rest of the cast flowed through the episode , except for Tommy Vega , she did a great job in saving the episode , saving a bomber from death , perhaps. I like Grace's role as the dispatcher always coming up with great idea's to save people , weekly , would seem a shame if she left us. Judd , who was the only survivor of the original 126 , needs to keep both hands on the stirring wheel and focus on the road in front of him , but we all saw what was going to happen , something bad.

Shameless: Two at a Biker Bar, One in the Lake (2021) Season 11, Episode 7

Reality check.

[9/10 · 10 March 2021]

Yes great writing , yes nearing the end of another chapter of a great Showtime show. The actors all are top notch , they really become their charactors. You actually feel sorry what Frank is going thru now and his look in his face tells you even his hated charactor for years is a real human being. Debbie is a trooper , unfortunately she brings excess baggage into the fold with troubled Sandy. Carl needs to grasp his situation better , he was smart , then his grey cells got clouded up , if his date the week before said she was on the pill , then his little breakdown would never have escalated into this weeks mess. Kev got wise and got rid of a possible problem. The comic side of the episode has to be Mickey , he is a hoot and Ian is straight laced . I believe when asked to party , pass the duck . The Sledgehammer , well its about time , serve the food or laundry thru the new whole in the wall.

American Gods: Fire and Ice (2021) Season 3, Episode 7

Found my passage back to Lakeside.

[9/10 · 4 March 2021]

People are confused this season , but everything is coming together. It's going to be a 10 part journey , am glad it finally came back on ,all episodes were filmed in 2020. Every episode is a small story to tell , and some are slow and weak but some are meaningful and get to the burning point , fire and ice describes this episode to the tee. Like the old story says never trust anyone , and especially those , that use to be your friends. Never make an agreement especially when it could cost your life , Again.

American Gods: Conscience of the King (2021) Season 3, Episode 6

Shadow Moon needs a professional opinion on which paint color to use.

[7/10 · 24 February 2021]

Lets see , something about sexual situations , where ? Beating the walls of the motel , could have been an earthquake . Back to the episode the beginning was cool with a young Odin . Mr World is now being played by Machete dude , Crispin must be on hiatus. The best part was when Wednesday aka Odin told his story on his love of his life , then after 250 years she becomes confetti and blows away in the garden, Derek is the guy who steals women's bra's , he is the waiter , must get out of Lakeside more. Shadow Moon needs to visit Sherwin Williams and ask a pro on which color to choose in his apartment , his taste is terrible , should have left the original blue alone. Laura Moon was directing the episode and finds out that Wednesday is Shadow's dad , not shocked at all , roll the camera.

Shameless: Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good... Eh, Screw It (2021) Season 11, Episode 6

Frank , Terry , Debbie , and Mickey all stood out for this exciting episode.

[9/10 · 21 February 2021]

William Macy *** was funny , and serious and going thru his own problems in life can make a well written story line seem so easy to get across , in his eyes his charactor, Frank makes him a fine actor, he makes Frank real and alive.

Terry hates being left in a wheelchair , he wants out , best way is leave him stew in his own juices , he is a disgrace , leave him , maybe he guide his wheelchair at night on the road so a car or truck would run him over.

Debbie , wow who knew she end up as a caring Lesbian , sure her daughter is her life , but now she has conquered her own demons , she is a powerful young lady .

Mickey, outstanding performance in this episode , shows his dad , he is not afraid of his dad left in the wheelchair , he wanted to waste him , but felt , make him weep instead, then eventually moves him up the front steps , his portrayal is outstanding , he should get a cable award for his performance , he is a fine actor. Noel Fisher ***

Dexter: Remember the Monsters? (2013) Season 8, Episode 12

Shocker , bad weather, suddenly all alone.

[8/10 · 21 February 2021]

Watched the entire 8th season 2/16 thru 2/19/ 21 , sure 8 years later , was my first time watching the last season of Dexter , found it to be fulfilling and yet some of cast were dropped on their heads like Joey ,and Dr Vogel. Makes no sense one kiss , drop your girlfriend for your ex , that chemistry was great the nanny and the cop. Dr Vogel ends up dead , cause she felt she could get thru to her long lost son . U. S. marshal sees a bad man strapped to a chair , he knew he was bad , yet he committed suicide , releasing him , and eventually getting Debra killed , she knew she had a fatal shot . Perfect plan for Dexter get rid of the brain surgeon , send his love and son off safely , and so heartbreaking for him to take his sister out to sea before his own demise in the terrible hurricane , boat ends up ripped apart . A hairy bearded man a logger seems to be Dexter a few months later , wait could it be another season looming to happen ?

American Gods: Sister Rising (2021) Season 3, Episode 5

A Dream while you are awake ....

[8/10 · 17 February 2021]

Wednesday has awakened from his deep sleep , he has spoken , Ian McShane clearly has come full circle in his ability to conquer a scene with a career that is over 50 years. Laura Moon is awake from her past demise and she is finally alive and wanting her night mare to end. Supporting charactor's all have a chance to get out of their own dreams , into reality, Salim , Technical Boy show what's up. Bilquis was never taken , just a room with voices and people in her past , she was in control the whole time , Mr World knew this. Lakeside is back in the scene and that last scene with Shadow and Laura put a smile on my face.

American Gods: The Unseen (2021) Season 3, Episode 4

The second coming of Laura Moon.

[8/10 · 2 February 2021]

Fast forward and realize these charactor's each have a story to tell . This episode marks the end of Mad Sweeney and being reborn for Laura Moon. She finally after almost three seasons can eat and feel alive once again . Am thankful she gets a second chance to live and explore and maybe Shadow will give her a second chance of becoming man and wife Gods. As for Wednesday having a concussion caused by Marilyn Manson , it merely could have been a gas leak. Mr World , Bilquis , loud dreadful noise , should have been a mall scene instead , oh look fountains half price. What was missing from this episode , Lakeside, say has the car sunk yet.

American Gods: Ashes and Demons (2021) Season 3, Episode 3

58 minutes into the future , Laura Moon is somewhere.

[8/10 · 30 January 2021]

Very fast paced episode, best part was Laura Moon's return , Emily Browning does a fine job in this entry.

Wednesday making plans as usual , getting his team ready ?

Bilquis goes missing , after her apartment is ripped up , traces of blood... Every week something new is going on , getting very interesting with the charactors.

American Gods: Serious Moonlight (2021) Season 3, Episode 2

Moving to Lakeside , put the heat on already , need firewood , just shoot me.

[7/10 · 20 January 2021]

Love this little town , brings back memories. Everyone knows each other , strangers go away. Waiting for the car to sink . Was it a deer , Shadow hit ? The memorial was fitting.

American Gods (2017–2021)

Mad Sweeney had a cameo , then Laura turned to dust.

[8/10 · 12 January 2021]

I have waited patiently since late 2019 , wishing for Mad Sweeney's return , yes :) Julia Sweeney , Grahame Greene , Marilyn Manson also added as cameo's . Laura took the coin out of herself and touched Sweeney's hand then crumbled into dust , took two seasons for that to happen. The scene where Technical Boy felt pain and loss of life was cool , he needed to be woken up .

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

Am not coming back .

[7/10 · 15 December 2020]

Special effects were great. Primarily made over in Hungary , Spain and a little in the USA was alright . I believe after all is said and done , the swan song for original terminator and Sarah Connor should be finally over , unless in a few years you have this title, Terminator : The retired years , starring Sarah and Arnie loosely based on a retired community of people who saved the world again and again and again glass house retirement center ..

The Undoing: The Bloody Truth (2020) Season 1, Episode 6

No Empathy.

[8/10 · 30 November 2020]

The only way this show comes back , was if there was a dream sequence , during the chat with the lawyer and the family after the hammer was found , it jumped to this week's episode and finale. David E Kelley is a very smart creator and he could do this , he could go back a few episodes and change the outcome , its cable. But as of right now Hugh Grant is locked up in his own mind , cause he has never showed remorse or grief for his own sister , who originally he stated was a dog and then proven to be his kid sister .

The Undoing: Trial by Fury (2020) Season 1, Episode 5

All I want is my family back.

[9/10 · 24 November 2020]

Can a smart kid who wants his dad and mom and himself be a family again. Leave a dried blood on a sculpting hammer in his violin case seem normal, mom finds it , oh yes dude , you need a shrink big time. Loving family , great support by family members , should be able to clean this terrible act up.

The Undoing: See No Evil (2020) Season 1, Episode 4

Becoming a whose who done it theory.

[9/10 · 19 November 2020]

After 4 mysterious episodes , See No Evil is so rivaling , and it seems just maybe the star could be the killer who doesn't know which is the present , she seems to be driven in the past , during her walks , so maybe she has a sleepwalking condition and when asked upon by the police , she takes a harsh position in not knowing what is happening in the present. But she says , she is not weak...........

Shameless: Sleep No More (2016) Season 6, Episode 11

Lip's season.

[9/10 · 6 September 2020]

Every season caters to each family member , this season primarily focus's on Lip , school , relationships , family , and too much drinking turning him into a drunk , not remembering what he is doing , ends up in a hospital then arrested. Clearly being the smart one in the family , he needs serious help , he doesn't treat any of his dates or women any appreciation. Fiona and Debbie and Ian round off the good support in family , but Jeremy Allen White performance stands out the best.
