This year I’ve given up a few shows. I was struggling to find time to watch them, I wasn’t head over heels about the characters, so I’ve made an executive decision to cut down my loses. Shows I followed last year, but don’t anymore: The Rookie, Seal Team, The Good Doctor and Mr. Mercedes.

To see my review of 2018, click on the following link: https://joanneholly.com/2018/12/30/tv-shows-of-2018/

Last year I followed 41 shows, this year, 50.

Below are the 50 TV shows I followed this year:

1. Grey’s Anatomy

I am still sad about Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew being written off. I have mixed feelings about the show allegedly ending after season 17. Greys hasn’t been ‘Greys good’ since Season 9 and yet it’s still my favourite and it will always stay that way. Season 16 so far focuses on the crime Meredith commited last season, the insurance fraud. It’s quite surprising how this storyline mirrors the Varsity Blues scandal. Mer has done a lot of community hours and has spent a night in jail. From the looks of the midseason finale, that’s all behind us now. They have sent Betty away at the end of season 15 and she hasn’t been back to visit since. I am glad Teddy is back and I hope she never leaves. Avery is slowly becoming the most annoying character, changing his mind when it comes to relationships. Still no development on Helm and her crush on Meredith, we’ll see where they go with this. Is Helm going to be with Karina by the end of the season? I am not a fan of splitting the staff between Grey Sloan and the second hospital, but I’m guessing Grey Sloan will buy the new undeveloped one and then merge the two?

2. SVU

Season 21 and we’re making history! I just love this show. Carissi is now an ADA, and we have a new detective I’m not fond off. Fall season ended on a cliffhanger featuring Amanda and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

3. Shameless

Shameless started quite late this year, and without Emmy Rossum. Ian is back and the show is still the same, and still as exciting as ever. I’m really disappointed with how Debbie is spending the 50 grand she got from Fiona and how Frank messed it all up for her. I really thought she would ensure the money lasts them a year or two. I’m happy with how the rest of the Gallagher’s lifes are going, including the fact that Lip is now a dad!

4. Fuller House

I’m sad it’s the show’s last season. The nostalgia Fuller House brought in 2014, was something I never thought I needed. 2019 wasn’t a good year for this Full House fan. If I wasn’t a Full House fan, I wouldn’t be going through a heartbreak this year. Aunt Becky was why I got so invested in the show. Season 1 wasn’t really a family show, the three main characters kept sleeping around and other than two or three episodes, the show was boring. From the minute Aunt Becky showed up, the show got interesting. Years later, as a teenager, I watched The New Kids, and became a Lori Loughlin fan and followed every single one of her projects.

5. Carol’s Second Act

Patricia Heaton is back on my TV screen, so everything’s going to be okay. I miss The Middle, and I think my mum misses it even more. It also stars Twin Peak’s Kyle MacLachlan. Carol’s Second Act is a sitcom, and even though it’s nowhere near as good as The Middle, or Everybody Loves Raymond, it’s still a funny show and a great way to spend the 20 minutes a week.

6. American Horror Story

Sarah Paulson wasn’t back for this awful season, at least she’s shooting another two Ryan Murphy shows, Ratched and season 3 of American Crime Story, so at least there’s something to look out for. American Horror Story used to be one of my favourite shows, but sadly this season is extremely weak, everyone was dead by episode 5 and everyone was a ghost by episode 5 as well! I liked the aerobic sequences in the very first episode. I really thought it would be a Friday the 13th type of slasher like the promos suggested.

7. Crikey it’s the Irwins

This show is a delight! Nothing will stop me from revisiting Australia Zoo every time I go to Australia on a holiday. As a vegan of 9 years, I should stand against all zoos, but this series proves all the good zoos do for animal conservation. Even though guests visit, Australia Zoo is really a giant sanctuary. In the second season the Irwins are preparing for Australia Zoo’s 50th anniversary, by renovating the croc enclousure. In order to get the contractors in, they need to move all the crocs, including the biggest and the most aggressive crocs in the zoo. A beloved zebra from season 1 needs to be put down, and Terri goes back to her hometown Oregon to visit a wildlife sanctuary were her cougar Malina spent her final years. Bindi gets engaged and I just hope they show us the wedding when the show comes back for season 3. I also wish there were more episodes in the season.

8. Orange is the New Black

It ended and there will never be a show so raw and brilliant. I cannot even begin to explain what an important place this show has in my heart. Every time I hear someone say they don’t like the show because it mainly has women in it or when they say they’re not going to watch the show because of all the gay characters, I feel personally offended. I am still tearing up thinking of Dockett’s tragic end. I also hate what they’ve done to Red, Lorna and Maritza. Some pars of the ending made me happy though, for example the fact that Alex is back with her crew. I still wish they had shown us more of Big Boo and other original characters.

9. When Calls the Heart

I will never get over the fact that Abigail is not coming back. And Cody, the Culkin lookalike was taken off the show because of the Lori Loughlin scandal too. I will keep watching as long as Rosemary is there. I’ve watched 2 episodes of When the Heart Calls, the web series spin off about the orphanage a few towns from Hope Valley, but I didn’t like it at all. I’ve gotten used to the two new male characters. I doubt Netflix will add the new season to its selection, as they’ve always done it around October time.

10. Station 19

Season two was alright, but season 3 was delayed until 2020. The show’s creator left to pursue something else, which is quite odd as she’s only done 2 seasons, so from next year the show will be ran by Krista Vernoff who has been running Grey’s Anatomy, after Shonda Rhimes’s departure. One of the characters is now a quest star on Greys.

11. The Handmaid’s Tale

I even got my mom into this show! And Christopher Meloni was in 2 or 3 episodes, playing a role completely opposite from his SVU’s Elliott Stabler, a rapist! Alexis Bledel’s character got a satisfying ending, and the scene where Canadian border police officers ask her whether she’s going to be in danger if she was to be sent back to her country and she says yes, this is simply my favourite scene of the entire 2019.

12. One Day At a Time

After a quite boring season 3, and Netflix’s cancellation, the show was saved by POP and will be returning in 2020! I am still not a fan of the annoying girlfriend, but everything this shows says about immigration, PTSD and LGTBQ issues is on point.

13. The Insatiable

Season 2 differed from season 1 in the most important way, it focused on the main character, Patty’s binge eating disorder. Patty joins Overeaters Anonymous and learns the cause of her addiction to food. Yes, it’s still crazy when it comes to her psychotic behaviour resulting in murdering people, but most of the season is about her BED, and that makes it interesting.

14. The Unbelievable

A TV show about a girl who thinks she’s been raped, comes forward, and then revokes her statement, 5 times. Then two lady cops try to solve a series of rapes and eventually come across the main character’s statement. Netflix’s best show of 2019, it’s just amazing and Short Term 12 and Booksmart’s Kaitlyn Dever delivers a beautiful performance.

15. Big Little Lies

The show came back after 2 years, to finish what it started, it was better than season 1 because we didn’t have to sit through hours of sex and abuse.

16. Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath

This show was a hit for me. I’ve only learned about it in February, and watched all 3 seasons in two weeks. I’ve since read Leah Remini’s book ‘Troublemaker’. I am really sad to see this show go, it’s extremely informative and brings hope to victims of Scientology. It’s my favourite discovery of 2019.

17. The Goldbergs

It’s still good, but it feels like they have run out of nostalgic 80s memorbilia last season.

18. Schooled

Lanie’s spin off is now in its second season. It’s not as good as The Goldbergs, but It’s only 20 minutes a week, which makes it watchable. AJ and Aly Michalka released a single last summer, that was undoubtedly my song of summer 2019. It’s called Church and it’s amazing.

19. How to Get Away with Murder

Thank goodness it’s the last season. The first 3 seasons were great, but anything from season 4 has been bad. Someone’s killed Annalise? What was the point of the series then?

20. Killing Eve

I still haven’t caught up with season 2 fully, but I’ve been a fan of Jodie Colmer since ‘Thirteen’.

21. Ozark

My dad’s favourite show. Julia Garner is killing it every single episode. Where’s season 3?

22. Good Girls

Beth and the dealer hooked up, and Season 2 was quite different, but still entertaining.

23. Thirteen Reasons Why

I loved the first 2 seasons, but this was a mess. Why introduce a new character, and give them ALL screen time?

24. This is Us

3 more seasons yes please! I am just not okay with the writers telling us about Rebecca’s death so early in the series.

25. 911

Never disappoints with the drama, I mean the freaking tsunami blew my mind!

26. The Resident

I think I am okay with whom they killed off in the first episode, but this season introduced us to a new doctor that’s an even more arrogant copy of the new doctor they introduced last season.

27. Modern Family

Final season is here and it’s just as mediocre as everything else after season 3.

28. For the People

Sadly this Shondaland show starring Britt Robertson has been cancelled. I feel like I was the only one watching it.

29. Chernobyl

A mini docuseries from HBO everyone loves, and rightfully so.

30. Riverdale

I’m just not into it anymore. I liked season 1 and that’s it. I liked the Luke Perry tribute, but I haven’t had the time to watch all of it.

31. The Simpsons

Awesome as always. Sixty seasons should be enough for me.

32. The Good Fight

I still haven’t caught up.

33. The Good Place

They keep resetting the afterlife and it’s all the same at this point.

34. Veronica Mars

I’m just happy they didn’t kill Keith Mars, and I like the noir aspects of this season.

35. Absentia

I still haven’t fully caught up, I will update once I do.

36. F For Family

It’s a funny show and I cannot wait for season 4. I wish the main character still worked at the airport, all this vending machine business wasn’t very entertaining.

37. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

I like it when it’s darker, but I just cannot stand Kiernan’s wig.

38. Divorce

The Sarah Jessica Parker show has ended and the ending surprised me. I will miss the dark humour.

39. Younger

The secret is out, Liza’s secret was exposed and she no longer has to hide. I’m a fan of Liza and Charles, but this wasn’t a good season. Kelsey makes a dumb social media mistake and gets demoted from publisher back to editor. Diana gets married. The Irish girlfriend’s baby storyline doesn’t give immigrants a good rep.

40. When They See Us

I watched it for Vera Farmiga and I knew about this case from Law and Order: Special Vicitms Unit.

41. Looking For Alaska

I used to know this girl who was obssesed with this book and always said Looking For Alaska is John Green’s best work. I haven’t read the book, so I can just rate the story for what the show is. As a child of immigrants, who don’t speak the language, I related to one of the characters. Sometimes the pressure of your family’s livelihood depending on you is too much. I know it’s got to me a few times when I had to figure out what to do in stressful situations I wouldn’t have been in had i known my family was safe and happy among their own. Acting as a translator for your family can have damaging effects on you, when your family’s health andlivelihood is at stake.

42. Dead to Me

‘Married With Children’ ‘s Christina Applegate and ‘Freaks and Geek’s Linda Cardelini return to TV in this dramedy about a woman who befriends her hit and run victim’s wife. Great acting from both, I’m really sad Linda didn’t get a Golden Globe nomination for her prformance.

43. Soundtrack

Madeleine Stowe is back! I remember when she retired back in the early 2000s and I kept checking up on her non existent projects while she was retired on her Texas ranch. Thankfully she returned to acting and starred in Revenge, portraying one of the best characters on television. When Revenge ended in 2015 I thought, well that’s it, she’s gonna go back to her retirement, but she didn’t! She just took a 4 year break and now she’s back! It looks like Madeleine’s husband, Dream On and Private Practice’s Brian Benben is currently on a break himself. Anyway, I’m a huge fan, and could talk about Madeleine’s filmography for hours.

Soundtrack, originally called Mixtape, is a new Netflix show about stars Madeleine Stowe, Jenna Dewan (is this why she left The Resident?) and Gradfathered’s Christina Millian.

The pilot episode has a depressing ‘This is Us’ twist. Jenna Dewan’s character’s name is Joanna (heck yes!) and she’s a dancer. Above I mention how watching season 2 of The Resident made me think of Step Up every single episode. To see Jenna’s character’s dance audition sequence to a Kelly Clarkson song of all artists, satisfied my 2006 Step Up obsession, and she dances in this show, a lot. The show features a lot of cool mash ups, and includes songs from Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Duffy, Demi Lovato to so many different genres and I will be rewatching the dance sequences a lot. I was really looking forward to seeing Marcia Cross when I noticed this title was added to her filmography on IMDB, but she only lends her voice to a character that’s a supporting’s character’s mother and only has one short conversation with that character, over the phone.

There’s going to be a similar show starting next month, called Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist starring Jane Levy and Lauren Graham, that I just cannot wait to start watching.

‘Every song is a love song’.

‘This is breathtaking, why would you ever give this up?’

44. The Politician

You know I’ll watch anything from the Murphy/Falchuk duo. It’s an average show, my least favourite from them, even lower on my list than Scream Queens. I don’t like how they used a porodied version of Gypsy Blanchard’s story in the show. We’ve seen in in The Act this year and The Act is not only an incredible mini series, but it’s also respectful and true to the story. The Politician’s secret weapon is, same as with American Horror Story, the marvelous Jessica Lange, so you know I’m gonna watch it. Speaking of the Murphy/Falchuk universe, I cannot believe we need to wait until September 2020 for American Crime Story to return.

45. The Act

A beautiful mini series about the tragic Gypsy Blanchard story with incredible performances from Joey King and Patricia Arquette. It’s my second favourite mini series of the year and eagerly waited for next episode every week.

46. The Morning Show

This Apple show starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston focuses on a made up news show, and the behind the scenes sexual harassment. It’s clearly inspired by the Fox scandal, but it’s different from The Loudest Voice. In the last episode Jennifer’s character loses it and exposes everything, it’s a superb episode I’m happy there’s going to be season 2.

47. The Society

A modern Lord of the Flies meets Lost. I enjoyed this show the minute Kathryn Newton’s character executed one of the other characters.

48. Light as a Feather

I have been following Liana Liberato’s career since ‘Trust’. It’s not a good series, but it’s eight 20 minute episodes, and there are worse ways to spend your weekend.

49. Grace and Frankie

A brilliant show from the creators of Friends. I’ve been watching it since it came out back in 2016 and can’t get enough of it! Can’t wait for January when the show’s back!

50. The Loudest Voice

No way Bombshell is going to be half this good. Best friends Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts ended up playing the same character this year, Gretchen Carlson. Showtime’s The Loudest Voice is a 7 episode series about the Fox News sexual harassment.

Shows I need to catch up on (to some extent):

How to Get Away With Murder
Killing Eve
This is Us
Riverdale
Absentia
The Good Fight
Gentleman Jack
I Am the Night

I think Hollywood Darlings has been cancelled? There’s no news online, but there were no episodes released this year and Jodie Sweetin is now doing this podcast I don’t listen to.

I hope you enjoyed this post. One of my resolutions for 2020 is to go back to reviewing TV shows on a weekly basis, because I’ve caught myself a few times trying to remember the episode something happened in and had to google it every time. Had I stuck to reviewing episodes week by week, I would have quickly looked it up here.

Have a wonderful 2020!
Jo

Whatever else is missing will be posted next week, and then full reviews summing up each show before the new seasons start.

This is Us 1.18

Sara Paxton guest stars in this so-so episode.

4.5/10

Hollywood Darlings 1.07

I really hope this gets a second season.

Put your fucking hand down.
How rude.

3.5/10

The Good Fight 1.10

Your dad fled, you’re under arrest.

8.5/10

SVU 18.21

For SVU, it was such a shitty episode.

The next dead woman on the floor, that could be you.

2/10

Nashville 5.12

God bless Nashville for mentioning Daria.

When kids at school treat me like crap for being different, your music gets me through.
Oh my god, Daria! I love that show!
I know about depression.
You can’t push that kind of pain away, you gotta own it, deal with it every day. That’s what people do. They fail each other. So try again. Fail better.

9/10

Handmaid’s Tale 1.01

There’s an eye in your house, be careful.

I guess I need to rewatch 1.02 as the notes I took have gone missing

6.5/10

Handmaid’s Take 1.03

Alexis’s scream at the end and her facial expressions gained her an Emmy nomination and I couldn’t be happier for her!

Why only women?
I will resign my body to the use of others.
She was very pleasant looking.
In what way?
Did she ever touch you?
Did you know she was the gender trader?
You didn’t report it to your mistress?
But you knew what she was?
I knew she was gay.
That satan was an offense to God. She was a disguisting beast.
Because she was my friend.
Don’t! She’s pregnant!
No ice cream for you this month, young lady.
You won’t want what you can’t have.

10/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.04

God found a way to make you useful.

5.5/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.05

Rory Gilmore ran over some dude in this episode, woah.

Maybe we should skip tonight’s ceremony.
You can’t be sick every month.
Children. What else is there to live for?
Death.

3.5/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.06

Second to best episode after that wonderful 1.03 and who would have tjought the husband is alive?!

The children . All brought to you by pur handmaids.
They want to trade us dummy.
They don’t rape you, do they?
And stick his cock up your ass.
They rape me. Once a month.
I didn’t choose this.
They took my daughter.
Don’t be sorry. Please do something.
My country is dying.
My country is already dead.

5/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.07

They took my wife and daughter.
Gather them up for fertility reasons.
So she’s alive.

2/10

The Handmaid’s Tale 1.08

All should be collected and impregnated.
Maybe wife should be there for the act.
I will not be that girl in the box.

1.5/10

The Leftovers 3.05

And he shits 4 times a day.
I’m not one of those lunatics.

5.5/10

The Leftovers 3.06

Lorrie finally told Kevin about the baby she lost during the Departure.

I was pregnant, 16 weeks.

7/10

The Leftovers 3.07

Always a pleasure to hear the Beach Boys songs be used on TV shows and it happens more and more often recently! How disturbing was Kevin scanning his dick to get access to that freaking building?

Anyone can have your face, but not your penis.

5/10

The Leftovers 3.08

The series finale was not exactly what I expected, but at least we got some answers. Remember when back in season one Tom and Damien said we’d never learn what happened to the Departured, because the show is about the one who remained on Earth and their grief? Well I guess HBO pressured them for answers and I’m really glad they did. Why would Jill have her first kid in her late 40s though? How old is Kevin supposed to be in the end, late 60s? Goodbye, The Leftovers!

So you’re saying it’s your first time in Australia?
Jill married a great guy and has a daughter almost 1 year old.
How’s your dad?
Good, he’s 91.
I talk to Lorrie sometimes.
I didn’t change my mind. I went through. I walked through M
appletown. At first I didn’t recognise them. A boy, a teenager and a girl, 11 years old. I was aghost who had no place there. And that, Kevin is when I changed my mind. So much time had past. It was too late.

10/10

When We Rise 1.01

It’s shocking how I haven’t caught up on this show yet.

The lesbian thing.
The fact that someone is homosexual automatically rules out the possibility that he’ll remain happy for long.
I’m gay, dad. I’m gay.
It’s an illnes. It can be treated.
San Francisco is where we were told we could find our harbour.
Get your dyke face out of my station.
But I’m not a dyke.
God saves us gays.
I’m not one of them.
Be fabulous.
I’m not that sexual.
I need you to bring all the boys like you.
I worried I was a homosexual when I was 16, for a year.
Have you ever been arrested?
No, but I’m looking forward to it.
You love women, Roma.
Being black isn’t the only thing that is different about me.

10/10

When we Rise 1.02

Something natural. 8 colors.

I want you to be happy. And I don’t think this lifestyle will let you be that.
We’re lesbians. We show up. That’s what we do.
We are the lesbians and gays of San Francisco.
We are going to live.

4.5/10

Younger 4.01

Josh, I know everything.
You broke my heart.

2/10

Younger 4.02

You deserve better. You deserve someone who will treasure you.
20 something drama. Can’t stop them from acting their age.

3/10

Pretty Little Liars 7.15

I have to do this. Of course you do, that’s what makes you Emily.
Playing with people’s lives is an addiction.

5.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 7.17

I guess some dreams are meant to be just that, dreams.
I want to marry your daughter.
I thought you were ready to leave this town.
I am, just not the people in it.

4/10

Pretty Little Liars 7.19

Somebody’s always stealing the game from me.
This is Rosewood, Mona. Not Area 51.
Jump or I’ll push you.
Mona killed Charlotte.
She went into a safe place. Before anything bad happened.
Did you murder Jessica DiLaurentis? Yes.
She did this for you.
That’s what dying feels like.

Even though I love Amy Brenneman and Brad Siberling (hello, Moonlight Mile!) I am not starting Heartbeat. The pilot felt like Grey’s wannabe and we remember how Melissa George’s character got kicked out of the program. It’s Sunday, my notebook is full of notes and reviews, so here we go.

Some great news to start off, Melissa McCarthy has joined Gilmore Girls revival! Sookie’s back!

Shameless 6.08

Missing Shameless already. I though the guy was a pedophile, but pregnant woman fetish is gross too. I’m glad Debbie is no longer with that psycho family. The foot massage was too much, shameless, but very unnecessary.

I need a scary looking black man.
Wish I’d gotten into this business a long time ago.
You were singing that gay song.
Indeed I was.
Frank Gallagher 35 years ago!
The fuck I am, Grannie Quinnie.
Frank Jr.
Why is a man in Indiana shitting his pants.

10/10

Shameless 6.09

I was so happy when I saw Mandy! But she’s an escort now and killed a man. Lip being shocked about her driving a jeep and Ian not telling him where Mandy works, so he can be proud of her was absolutely incredible, and one of my favorite scenes this season. What’s with the commune living though?

Are you going to support Debbie as she unschools her way through life?
I met him through my service, escort.
Maybe something that doesn’t involve feces.
My nephew watches it on youtube.
You know that just because we were born here doesn’t mean that we end up here.
Is that her Jeep in the driveway?
Yeah, she found a job.

10/10

The Middle 7.18

Frankie saying her parenting skills are better then Nancy’s was amazing! And when Mike realized Sue’s no longer a child, too! I want some caramel popcorn balls too! Sue’s 19teen.

Just cause some of us have it down better than others.
I’m not done telling you how I’m a better parent than Nancy.
Brad and I got summer jobs at Dollywood.
Inappropriately touching a bunch of old guys an making their day.
Caramel popcorn balls.
But he couldn’t stop a woman.

7.5/10

Castle 8.12

Best Saw like episode of the season. Plane was last year right?

Wait what’s going on in that van? Is that my dad?
We had our best person on.
The guy is abducted like what twice a year?
He’s really good at what he does.

9/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.14

It took me a while to watch the finale April 9th to be exact, and it was disappointing just like the whole season.

Eve’s’Did he hurt you?’ were the exact words Alex used 3 weeks later when he got 911 call from Maggie about Meredith on Greys.

Originally Mexico, I lived in Florida before law school.
We’re all bad people, that’s all we have in common.
What is this, a homeless shelter?
And then play us like little puppets.

7/10

Younger 2.09

Kelsey, I do get when an avocado post gets more likes than something more valuable, because for a long time, that was me. Also, in this episode a guy is *ing a sheep, so… um wtf?

I hated Chad, I’m glad he’s gone, but they haven’t pulled such tragic deaths on Sex and the City, so wtf?

Liza Miller is your mom?
Oh please tell me you’re not her new boyfriend.

‘Excellent’ episode.

This isn’t Fiji water.
Someone’s using it for unmerry purposes.

That sounds vaguely sexual.
The Government owes us 2 million dollars. We owe them 37 dollars.
20% which is what your phone needs to stay in the green.
Excellent.

Thirteen 1.01

What a great show! It makes living in the UK bearable. Everyone who watches SVU will love it! But why on Earth did they name the male lead Elliot. Come on, try not to look like SVU.

There’s never been am escaped captive in the UK.
There’s a girl. It could be Ivy.
Bastard bleached the place.
The DNA’s come back as Ivy’s.
A hand on my neck pulled me back into a van.
Everything has changed but us.
He’s taken another girl.

The Family 1.02

I was enjoying this show until it turned out it’s not Adam.

They say once you’ve left home, you can never go back.
That’s for Adam, he never got sweets down there.
I was wearing these when he took me.
I need to touch the walls.
I need back up. I found a metal door. It’s the Adam Warren investigation.
The suspect is here and he’s burning the evidence.
I’m not the same person I was
so am I.
Yeah, but you have a good excuse.
So do you.

The Family 1.03

The idea of chipping sex offenders is game changing!

Once every 7 sleeps.
I regret all those years complaining about Wifi being slow.They should be chipped.
You can’t look at me, I’m your sister.

The Family 1.04

Second child went missing.
Is that him? Is that the men who took you?
He lost Adam so he found himself a new one.
Do you think he’ll do it though? Take another one?
The always do.

Pretty Little Liars 6.18

This half season is excruciating. I honestly have 5 episodes to watch and no desire to sdo so. I have also accidentally ruined the spring ending for myself – thanks TV Guide, so now I’m even less excited about watching them. I will try to watch them on Netflix when I’m off tomorrow.

Did they abort the baby? Or was it just a false alarm, I don’t remember at this point. What is wrong with being a cop? It’s a perfectly respectable job. I know that Toby did some one month long Mickey Mouse course, that would never pass as a cop course, but still, he’s a cop. Who needs college is they want to be a cop? Aria getting burned was just too predictable and fake. Makes me realize what everyone has been saying for the last two years at least, that this show has been on too long. I don’t know why I gave this episode so many points. I must have been tired.

There’s probably one of your beanies still in there.
Cause being with a cop is not good enough?

Hi guys, welcome back after Easter. My new 8 month old laptop died, which means I will have so much more time to post this week, as I won’t be busy watching films. Here are some reviews.

Greys 12.12

I am so happy they didnt kill Mer’s first patient. I was scared theoughout the whole episode that that was gonna happen. Her death would ruin the pilot we love so much. It would mess with the past and make us feel like there is no point in leaving since something we believed for 11 years now would have changed. There is no messing with the past. It’s our holy ground and I’m hlad Shonda gets it.

Someone said that. Wait that was me.
Guys, this room is full of dead people, show some respect.
She was my first patient.
They still let you be a doctor here?
She was a trainwreck.
So he thinks you should have been on that helicopter.
I work in peds. I figured it out.
You’re all grown up now.
So are you.
What happened to the other Dr Shepherd?
That’s a long story.

10/10

The Family 1.01

A new show from one of Shonda Rhimes’s writers about a boy who was kidnapped 10 years ago and his sudden reapearance.

Who are you?
I’m him.
They found that boy who was murdered 10 years ago.
The man is a sex offender.
Hi dad.
Hi, chief.
The man who was laying on top of me.
Why didnt you just run?
I did run. The first chance I got.
When was that?
Yesterday.
Maybe it was the decade of rape and torture.
Red dragon, he was breathing fire, right at me.
And all the other Adams who are still out there.
He doesn’t exist.

10/10

SVU 17.17

After 17 years at SVU Olivia got kicked out. What are you guys thinking of Olivia and Tucker?

There is no way that girl is 18.
Underage girls are being raped and trafficked.
They’re not cops, they’re rapists.
They forced me into a room and took turns raping me.
He’s raping 16 year olds while supposedly undercover.
So you don’t mention that you two are sleeping together.
He had everyone at SVU in kuffs.
I’m out. That is it. You’re dismissed.

10/10

The Middle 7.17

I still don’t understand why everyone has their wisdom teeth removed.

Think of it like Downton Abbey and I’m one of the basement people.
We fight this the way we fought that healthy snack thing.
This is the year of Sue 2.0.
You’re a Heck. Disapointment is your birth right.
Frab some napkins, we’re out of toilet paper.
Sue, are you crying?
Axl gave me a fork.
Sometimes you think you get an Elvis, but end up with an eagle. And thats okay. Eagles are great too.

5/10

Shameless 6.10

Weakest episode especially for a birth episode. Who else cried when they heard Debbie has named her daughter Frances?

Law, motherfucker.
I think I wanna be a cop.
And then I get a for asking me if I ever have been hospitalized.
Frances after her grandfather.
Frank?!

When Calls the Heart 3.01

As long as we’re no longer in Hamilton, I’m good.

I’m your new partner.

4/10

How to Get Away With Murder 2.13

Annalise’s gay ex-lover is the only reason the show is still watchable.

There’s not a day that I don’t lie to my clients.
Clients are some of the stupidest people you’ll meet.
Please tell me you just got fat.
Stop blaming me for your loneliness.
Call 911. There’s someone in Wes’s apartment.

Younger 2.12

What’s with a super weak finale?

You seem more fake now than when you were acting like you’re 26.

Grandfathered 1.19

This show certainly does not want to go out with a bang.

Cough syrup with codaine.
Replace it with pictures of handsome guys.
Movie selection process.
What’s the one thing none of them have?

The finale week. I started rewatching Greys season 11, as my dad suggested a rewatch. We’re reminiscing and I’m saying it will always be my fvorite show every time I click on the next episode. I’ll never be over how good it is. And how badly I care about Meredith and other babies. There’s nothing better than spending a decade watching a show, and going through different phases in your life while they go through different phases.

Greys 11.25

The finale week is here and I can’t stand another 4 month break from Greys. We love how Ben worships Miranda. I liked when Meredith told Webber and Catherine to stop whining, as she would love to hve one more minute with her husband. Meredith introduces her new sisters to dance party tradition she had with Cristina. She also tells Maggie to come to her with everything, as because of everything she went through, she is qualified to help her. My mom, who is also a big fan of the show, my whole family is thanks to me, said the season would end with Webber/Catherine wedding and it did. April and Avery ended, as Jackson gave his wife an ultimatum. Derek’s ferryboat tape concludes this somehow uplifting finale, as we say our final goodbyes to the characters we loved for over a decade.

People said I came from a broken family. Even though getting divorced is the least broken thing they ever did.
You will be Greys Sloane next chief of surgery.
You’ve mistaken an intern for an attending?
He was basically running the ER.
Id she moving out? Is there room for Amelia? You could take your old room, I could take my room, and Amelia could take Cristina’s.
No she’s selling the house with the children.
Sad widow is my friend. My best friend.
It’s my old phone. There is a voicemail on it. Password is 1515. And make sure you’re alone when you listen to it.
What’d the matter with you two?!
My husband died.
Today is the first day of your new job, and you have failed gloriously.
You have to teach them how to paddle their stupid feet.
You need a place to fall apart, I’ll be that place.
Jo, it’s a crime scene.
Sell Meredith her home back.
There’s no darkness in my life.
You should always come to me, cause I’m qualified to help you.
Come on, dance party.
No matter how dark it gets, the sun will rise again.

10/10

Revenge 4.23

Emily VanCamp explained on twitter that the dream sequence in which she got Victoria’s heart was just a nightmare, because I wanted it to be true. Getting your nemesis’ heart is the final ‘fuck you’ from the world. I wanted to write Victoria, but she wouldn’t have liked that either. The show ends with Victoria and David dying, Emily and Charlotte reconciling, Emily and Jack’s wedding and Nolan getting the last present from Ems. As the one happy thing about Revenge finale is that Nolan will continue avenging people.

RIP, Victoria Grayson. I will miss you dearly.

Goodbye, Revenge. You were good.

This has all started with Amanda Clarke changing her identity and ending with me changing mine.
Corpse I pass on as my own was my own mother.
It was only in death that my mother could do something good for her daughter.
You and I are the same.
Would you still approve of us today?
When this is all over, I’m gonna marry your daughter.
I died long before you were born. This is just a formality.
Well played, Ems. For the last time, well played.

SVU 26.22

Father kidnaps his son to teach him a lesson to never talk to strangers. When I heard the mother say he wanted to take him to Iran I immediately thought it would be like ‘Not Without My Daughter’, the scariest film ever starring the one and only Sally Field. The film who has been a subject of various discussions for many years and can come up in almost any conversation between my father and I. But it didn’t. Instead it wasn’t really an SVU case. Something the show has done more than half of the episodes this year. It’s definetely been the weakest season, but I believe it will get better next year.

To what do I owe the pleassure?
It was supposed to be a good lesson.

10/10

Nashville 3.22

I honestly think it was Beverly who died. I just wish we could get rid of the major storyline once and for all and just focus on the music. Layla smashing Jeff’s car seemed like such a Taylor Swift move, as she basically acted out the Blank Space video. Well, she was supposed to be the Taylor Swift to Christina Aguilera’s Katy Perry, so it works great. I am a little mad that Juliette has left Highway 65, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her, she’s an artist first. She’ll worry about her kid once she repairs her carreer.

Screw you, screw you, definitely screw you, lady.
I Rayna James take you Deacon Claybourne as my husband. Now don’t you dare leave me a widow.
I will hold my head up high, you will never see me cry.
Good news! Will Lexington is gay and I’m going on tour with Luke Wheeler.

10/10

Castle 7.23

The final ceremony was touching, and yet not compelling enough to save this season. Kate having to choose between being a captain or a states attorney is just the craziest. And here we were thinking the big plans for Kate was her getting pregnant with little Castlets. We’ll see how it works out. I love that Alexis has inly one year of college left and she still doesn’t know what she wants to do, because I still don’t have a backup plan for my life, and all my friends had all those years back in high school.

Carreer achievement in homicide.
If it wasn’t for that day in the woods, because of him, would I even be here?
Most people think that writing is a solitary profession. The long hours, the blank pages.

10/10

Bates Motel 3.10

It just wasn’t my favorite season. I loved how Norman said ‘what have you done’ to his mother, yet my favorite scene was when Norma hit Norman in the head with a vase. I have always disliked Bradley, so I don’t have some confused feelings I probably should be having. It’s not like he killed Emma. Bradley was always slutty and annoying and did not even treat Norman well.

People are usually disapointing.
We’re all doomed at the end.
Especially about the whacko Norma Bates and her son.
Mother, there’s really something wrong with you, we talked about it, remember outside the motel.
Mother would like to talk to you.
Mother, what have you done.
I did her a favor, poor girl had a feath wish, and most importantly, she was gonna take you away from me. I could never let that happen.
We belong together.

10/10

Bones 10.19

A crazy episode, what’s with Iran this week. Second episode focusing around Iran. Bones kicked Booth out of the house as she and Christine got threatened by some guy Booth owed 30 000. I am a little surprised to be honest, while my dad said he totally deserved it. Now back to Bones, they haven’t mentioned Angela and Hogins’ move to Paris, so I’m just gonna pretend the talk never happened. I am surprised to see Camille so surprised about Arastoo’s religion. It’s the third episode when she’s geniunely surprised about the customs. Shouldn’t you read about your fiancees religion when you date him, not to mention she has a PhD and yet she acts all dumb. I expected more from her. I just can’t stand ignorance on basic things, as you really don’t have to read much to know the basics.

I love you.
I don’t believe you. Go.

8.5/10

The Good Wife 6.23

I am not going to get into that Alicia/Kalinda scene as everyone else is. We’ve known about their quarrel for some time now, and we tried not to let it get to us. Yes, they did not film together, now move on. I am excited for Alicia partnering with Canning. I hope she does, nothing could be more interesting now, as the show was almost as dull this year as season 1. But then at least we had our Alicia/Kalinda friendship. I want to see Alicia and Canning arguing cases against Diane and Cary. It hurts not to know what Kalinda will do with her life, we didn’t even get a first draft of what her future will look like. We can assume she’ll be okay, but we don’t know if she even stays in Chicago.

Did you know Louis Canning’s wife works here?
Ask A for possible cooking recepies.
Made me miss sitting in a bar deinking with you.
My time with you as a friend was the best.
I’m sorry it got messed up.
I’ll never see you again.
I don’t think so.
Damn you three!
It’s Kalinda’s letter to me.
It said goodbye.
What is it with all those tough talking women!?
Wanna partner?

10/10

Scandal 4.22

Chuck shot the whole bus of jurors. But I am so pissed at this finale as Fitz threw Mellie out of the White House! And not just Mellie, Cyrus too! And of course now he’s living with Olivia, in the White House! Wtf, Shonda? How is that possible!? I don’t think Huck is dead and I have had enough of B613. Sure keep the father but enough with the B613 talk. Also, Cyrus was the one who auctioned Olivia off.

Are you going to tell your team mate you added slaughter to your resume?
Is thia why you wanted Olivia Pope auctioned off?
So much for being good guys, huh, Rosen?
Me running aroung like Nancy Drew.
I can’t have a soul. If i had I would never accomplish anything.

Stupid Flanders.
Uncle Homer is not nice to you.
If you take her hand, you’ll enter world of puberty.
Are you being bullied?
I hate Ned Flanders because he’s better than me in everything.

Younger 1.08

Liza has to get together with Mariska’s husband and let the kid go. I think she tells him the truth in episode 12, as Sutton wrote on twitter they have a serious scene (finally). I am glad we still have 4 episodes till the break, as we know half of the summer shows aren’t coming back till september (our guilty pleasures, light as summer – faking it and switched at birth). I love Hilary Duff’s character, she’s so fresh and brings light to the show.

I don’t want to be one of those women who wake up in their 40s realising they forgot to live their life.
Here you are in a totally different department.
Is he looking?
He sure is.
Can we put on our sweats and watch Downton Abbey?
I’m the one sleeping with your husband.
