I haven’t been reviewing and adding my notes on TV shows I watch, because I am disappointed with every single one of them. Yes, even Shameless, SVU and Greys. The three shows still on air I swear by. Absolutely nothing is going on an it upsets me and makes it pointless for me to rate the show and give each episode a lousy 2/10. The show I am most disappointed with this season is Modern Family. There was one good episode, but for the love of God, the other 10 were disastrous. I am no longer interested in what any of these characters are doing. The Middle is in its final season and instead of going out with a bang, it’s going out with a… yawn. Shameless, so Ian is the gay Jesus now, and Debby lost 3 toes. That is it. Even Frank did not do anything interesting. Carl has a wife now and he’s been goody-goody all season. Grey’s, sweet old Grey’s. I am happy that Meredith got the Harper Avery award, but nothing else happened all half season. SVU, they cast Brooke Shields and instead of keeping her as Olivia’s friend, they have her kidnap Noah.

Greys 14.10

After four of her patients die, April loses her faith in God. She also runs into her ‘one that got away’, the paramedic she left at the altar back in season 9.

2/10

Greys 14.11

Bailey has a heart attack and fights for herself.

4/10

Greys 14.12

The big competition is here and the entire episode is a snoozeville.

2/10

Greys 4.13

A-freaking-mazing! They introduced the lead from the new Shondaland show Station 19 and I like her already! Ben was written off Greys and we saw him driving off in an ambulance. Ellen looked liked her season 2 baby self with that pink lipstick in the ambulance scene! The Asian intern took her hijab off to stop the kid’s leg from bleeding!

You look twelve. Can you find a grown up to tell her that.
Do not move your hand!
See, grown ups!
Can’t believe this project has not been founded!

9/10

When Calls the Heart 5.01

Some crook seller tried to kill little Opal with arsenic! Can we stop pretending that Abigail and Henry are not meant for each other? Are they actually trying to write our favorite villain off? I say this every episode, but Rosemary is just an extraordinary character. I usually cannot stand happy characters, but watching any scenes with her affects my mood. Elizabeth’s perky sister is back and she wants to be Elizabeth’s apprentice. Lee is left in charge of the town. There is something clearly wrong with Elizabeth’s wig and it’s almost as annoying. I still don’t trust or like Jesse. He’s a tool and Clara better leave him for good. There’s also a virus spreading, it all turns out to be the fault of some magical tonic, that even clears acne. Lori Loughlin runs into another Garage Sale Mystery co-star, who plays Henry Gowen’s defence attorney.

I need to leave someone in charge as acting sheriff.
So you’re testifying for the defence and you’re testifying for
prosecution.
Rosemary did chilli last week, and I was sick for four days.
Where is your badge?
For all the bad things that I’ve done, I must have done something right.
Why is that?
Because for some odd reason that I don’t understand, you still seem to believe in me.
Someone stole my wagon.
Lee! Go!
I don’t want you chasing horse thieves all through the night.
I took his wagon and I hid it in the woods.
Julie is trying to steal Jesse away from Clara.
And I don’t gossip, cause I don’t gossip.
Besides I heard that Clara and Jesse broke up.
Well, who’s gossiping now.
Elizabeth, telegram for you.
Lee, what’s going on.
I had to arrest him.
Michael, I need you too.
No, same cell.
You are now deputized.
Am I really a deputy.
As much as I’m a sheriff.

10/10

When Calls the Heart 5.02

Turns out railroad will not happen and everyone loses faith in Abigail’s abilities. Julie, Elizabeth’s artsy sister does not punish Robert for ripping Anna’s drawing. Rosemary is happy as her clothes sell well in the big city. Rosemary pushes one of the local girls to buy a dress she cannot afford and she comes back with her husband the next day to return it. Lee tried to save the town by blackmail. Cody saves the day by randomly telling everyone his life story.

Men aren’t emotionally sophisticated creatures.
You’re the best mayor this town has ever had.
You changed your mind.
Actually your whole town changed it for me.
Our childhood never leaves us.
You’re a great major, Mrs Stanton.

5/10

When Calls a Heart 5.03

Some random architect friend of Rosemary shows up in town and it looks like she’s staying. I thought the doctor was supposed to end up with the nurse, so why are they adding a love interest for him? Jack is back and after spending a couple of months apart, he is eager to marry Elizabeth, you know why. Why does the young journalist’s hair look dyed, isn’t she 12? The show gets very average when Jack is around.

The Middle 9.14

The Middle 9.15

Sue turns 21.

4/10

911 1.01

There is no way a baby would fit in that pipe, but I still loved every minute of the episode. The youngest of Lind sisters plays a little girl home alone and I really enjoyed when the young firefighter used the fire extinguisher to throw the bulglar off the motorbike.

10/10

911 1.02

Unrealistic with the firefighter remaining conscious through the whole thing, but I loved the rollercoaster incident.

8/10

911 1.03

The cop’s daughter tries to kill herself, because of some girl at school bullying her.

8/10

911 1.04

The plane crash episode was everything.

10/10

911 1.05

I am really into the age gap between Abby and the firefighter.

I am so much better when it’s somebody else’s emergency.
That I murdered my own family.

6/10

911 1.06

I see it now, Ryan and Brad are big fans of Parenthood and Friday Night Lights and Coach Taylor’s wife is supposed to end up with Adam Braverman.

6/10

911 1.07

Another Parenthood alum, Drew’s girlfriend did a guest spot in this episode. I don’t see why they changed her age to 32 when Lyndon Smith is 28, but that’s the only thing that bothered me. I absolutely loved the moment where we find out the intruder was in fact inside the house, standing right behind the woman, and it was his refection that she saw.

How to Get Away with Murder 5.12

How to survive a scandal.

5/10

How to Get Away with Murder 5.13

At least Connor is going back to uni.

5/10

Scandal 7.10

Quinn and Olivia’s father randomly starting to sing Britney Spears while Charlie looks confused. I just really cannot stand Olivia at this point, she became such a shitty character, but I’ve always loved most of the characters here except for Olivia.

That man spilled his DNA all over this White House.

3/10

Scandal 7.11

Quinn is back and Mellie talking about her mammogram was one of the two good scenes.

Shut up, eat your melon.

4/10

Scandal 7.12

Shut up Olivia, I love Megabus, it’s cheap and takes me to London without paying the city centre entry fee every time I need to buy somthing nice for myself and look at pretty architecture.

You had to haul your broke ass on the megabus to beg for my help.

5/10

Modern Family 9.14

It was good enough, especially Joe being in love with Claire. When did Mitch and Cam get boring?

5/10

The Good Fight 2.01

How did I not know Audra McDonald joined the cast! And how did Howard become a judge! He does not like wearing his trousers and forgets things.

I just have a few questions.
Oh dear God.
So, let’s talk about your job, miss.
He thought we were getting too close.
You said you worked at an amusement park?
And Alicia Florrick. I went to school with her.

4/10

The Simpsons 29.10

I’m just intellectually drunk.
Hey kid, I want to show you something.
Are you a pervert?
A beautiful hotel bar, just like in The Shining.

4/10

The Good Doctor 1.10

Oh, look it’s the Grey’s Anatomy wanna be.

1/10

The Good Doctor 1.11

3/10

Absentia 1.08

Emily’s son and his new mom are kidnapped and at first we assume it was most likely done by Charles, Emily’s friend/nemesis from the children’s home she grew up in. Emily poses as a patient at the mental institution Charles lives in and we learn that all the children hated her for something. Charles does not reveal who Patient B is, but we he is in fact Patient A. I really thought he would say she is patient B, but he didn’t which does not exclude her.

You want me to hurt you or her?
Hurt me.

Absentia 1.10

This show finally got good enough seconds before it wrapped.

8/10

Greys 14.07

Congrats to Greys on 300 episodes! What a nostalgic treat this week’s episode was! I noticed Kate Burton’s name in the opening credits, yet I lost it when I saw her up in the gallery cheering Meredith on!

You can pull it right now.
Let the record show that Sue is lame.
Speaking od wrapping, you want to wrap this up.
I’m the face of this family.
I’ve worned the same outfit for the last 3 weeks.

One more time they mention Bushran and I will quit this show in its final season. Why is this season so bad?

You killed Luna Vargas?

2/10

The Good Doctor 1.06

Remember when Izzie drilled a hole in the guy’s head during the ferry crash on Grey’s? Well The Good Doctor writers knicked that idea and it made me upset.

It’s dead in here.
That’s why they call in the graveyard shift.
Trama color coding, who knows it?
Green, walking, Yellow – wounded, red needs immediate attention.

Sounds like you can’t even do your homework.
Ouch.
She does that so she doesn’t smell like cigarrettes.
She should also get some booze gum.
You’re making that up.
Am I that creative.
30 pizzas. I can finally send my mother back to Italy.
Seems kinda thick.
They gave you a lot of reasons why you weren’t good enough.
What’s he doing here?
Didn’t we just see him yesterday?
Making our next president… Tony Hitler.
Where is my nicotine gum?
You rented my room to the town drunk?
I’m also the state drunk.
I can’t live in a college town. Can’t control myself sexually.

Picture me next to Gloria in a wedding dress.
He walked Gloria down the aisle.
I look stupid.
So big now.
They’re Gloria’s family. Unlike some people, they feel things.
That’s why I splipped her 3 drinks at reception.
Your own magic shop.

This season was  a waste of time.

2/10

Riverdale 2.05

Camilla shot in the sky. The fight, Betty waltzing in telling everyone the town’s meeting is next and finally pulling the fire exit handle.

They think you’re teen American Psycho.

Betty’s ponytail is iconic.
When I was a little girl, I used to be obsessed with this book.

4/10

Absentia 1.07

Charlie, Emily’s friend from childhood who used to pick on her and she used to beat up is the previous victim of the chain and he is the one who kinapped Emily? Is the Barrett House, home for children the centre of it all?

5/10

You wish you could have a bit eof this pear.

Greys 14.05

The shocking part of this episode was that Megan was kidnapped by a woman. Was Nathan just written off Greys? Does Owen divorcing Amelia mean he’s finally going to get together with Teddy?

7/10

SVU 19.04

Youtuber is raped.

Whoever did this, please, just tell me why.
They did more than just draw on her with a sharpie, she was raped.
You’re under arrest for rape in second degree.
She wanted it. Her eyes were closed, but she was smiling.
You don’t want to feel anything.
You know I told you my name was Amanda too?
When I was your age I lived in a tiny town in Georgia and everybody gossiped and I did something stupid and I got a reputation. And that’s all I thought about.The names they were calling me.
Easy ass Amanda and worse. It took a long time, but I realized, whatever people said about me, that didn’t define me. Only I can define me. And when I was old enough and went and got this. It’s my name, Amanda, just to remind myself, that that’s who I am, not any of these other names I was branded with.
We want you to know you’re not alone.
And girls are actually more brutal.
I want you to stand up if you’ve ever been sexually assaulted.

10/10

The Middle 9.03

Why are you talking like a farm man?
Worse mistake of his life.
Do I even have a good bra?
I love your son, I love your daughter too.
I like extreme TV.
That will be 5 dollars.
Hobos carry more.
Start looking for loose change.
Or a janitor you’re inappropriately closed with.
Can yu be more specific?
I married a mud hole guy, because I love the mud hole guy.
At least the bathroom I barfed in was unbelievable.

Modern Family 9.02

What an experience this episode was!

I know it’s not a voicemail, I just don’t want to hear you whine about it.
You live in a care package.
She’s been dropping hints about wanting some wheels.
Unicicle? She definitely said wheels.
Are you forgetting something?
Whoops, that was close.
I’m on it.
A cold white people goodbye.
Turns out I really held up.
Duke is it?
How would you like to have Christmas every day?
There’s a small chance I might have definitely started the fire.
Many says its my job now.
Many was doing all of these things?
I’m going shopping with Joe.
For toys?
No, for shoes. I’m the one that’s sad, not you.
I didn’t hate that.
Extreme pressure.
You fool.
Here, you’re Haylie.
Highest possible level.
You fools.
Kinda rouned up there.

10/10

Modern Family 9.03

How did that chair broke under Phil? He didn’t move one bit!

She’s been going through this irresponsible phase.
Yeah for 25 years. I’m not gonna let her get to 26.
It’s 2 in the morning, I have to change for a party.
Every morning before I shower, I kick off my underwear. If I catch it, it’s gonna be a great day. If I don’t, disaster.
A day, you guessed it. He dropped his underwear.
The day I rollerbladed into bees, I dropped my underwear.
The day I rollerbladed into that camfire…
How about you stop rollerblading.
I need my phone, I sit at a stupid golf course all day. What else am I suppose to look at?
Did you hit something we can talk about or should I go out front and find a bidy shot that doesn’t ask questions?
I might accidentally leave her at the beach.
Yes Claire, I think ir bit me a little.
I just found out I’m still listed in her phone as Jay, red track suit.
Salads left uninstagrammed.
I just needed a quiet place to find out how they killed that mockingbird.
I missed half of 5th grade because of a pig bite and I am just as educated as anyone else.
If it makes you feel any better, my name is actually Fernando.
It does help.
Oh my God it’s Dunphy! 50 bucks to the first guy who hits him!
Is that freaking Gill?!
Just hit as fast as you can!

10/10

How to Get Away with Murder 4.03

Refund of my law school degree. I just dropped out.
In that case we are all murderers. We have all deleted a voicemail.
Connor dropped out.
I need to take a urine sample.
Connor just decided to drop out completely.
First time you met me you said I’m gonna give up my career to be a mom. I’m at the bottom of my class, I have no internship and I’m pregnant.
I hate being a failure.
These are Connor’s dads.

8/10

HTGAWM 4.04

He was 12.
Connor gave me the courage to come out.
He should be in jail.
So should you.
She’s still hot, I’ll give her that.
Dad’s my dead baby in that suitcase.
All you do is hurt me, leave!
You’re looking that again, looking for a mommy wherever you go.
A your sober buddy, you have to drop this.
You’re back on crack and it’s called Annalise.
New patient just arrived, Julie?
Where’s the witness, over there.

5/10

Scandal 7.02

Meh. The last two seasons have been meh, until someone dies. Where the fuck is Liberty though? We haven’t seen her since season 5.

I’ve made a list of guests most prone to scandal.
Do you miss it? The White House?
I was a big dog.
I prefer being a Gladiator.
Watch out for Olivia Pope, she’s the devil.

7/10

Riverdale 2.02

Smithers was awesome, it’s heartbraking that he got sacked. Did Cheryl’s mom not know her husband killed Jason? Was this how she found out? I wish I remembered.

Miss Grundy was found murdered.
You’re a stone cold bitch, Betty Cooper.
My daddy threatened him.
Mark this day in your diary. I lied under oth for you.
A video of daddy and Jason, it might brong you peace.
Where’s Smithers?

4/10

Liar 1.06

Last one, damn it. I’m glad there will be a season 2! The lesbian relationship in this show is inspiring and I bet it’s the army chick who killed him. She’s probably my favorite character here and she’s only been in 2 scenes! I wish they showed us how Laura told the airport guy of the rape! The rapist being creepier than usual calling Laura to tell her he could have had her again whenever he wanted was the second most disturbing thing that happened on the show. Can you guess what’s the first one?

Is that him?
While you were away something happened, but please I can’t say it out loud. I can’t tell you.
If I wanted to have you again, don’t you think I could have had you whenever I wanted?
And you laying there, letting me do whatever I wanted.
I play that back whenever I get the chance, Laura?
I think he filmed us.
I feel like it’s my job to protect you.
I wasn’t there to protect you.
At least 15 women.
The tech guys told me 17.

7/10

The Good Doctor 1.01

Grey’s Anatomy for poor! This episode was a 10 and I think it’s pretty obvious i will cry on all the flashbacks to him spending time with his brother. Did Freddie’s accent get better? It used to crack on Bates Motel, but since here his character is autistic and doesn’t have outbursts of rage he easily passes for an American. Freddie Highmore has been lucky to star in 2 amazing shows. I may have teared up a few times while writing the quotes below.

I am a surgical resident.
Who here has a sharp knife.
Excuse me, excuse me please.
Apparently he’s one of our doctors.
Why were you rude to me when we first met, nice to me the second time and now you’re trying to be my friend.
I couldn’t save them. It’s sad. Neither one had a chance to become adults. They should have become adults. They should have had children of their own and loved those children and I want to make sure that’s possible for other people. And I want to make a lot of money so I can have a television.
I want to be the first to welcome you to the hospital.
Never forget, you’re the smart one. You can do anything. I’m proud of you, Sean.

10/10

The Good Doctor 1.02

No, the bus was late. I did nothing wrong.
Am I being punished for something.
I look forward to learning.
I’ll be honest and fair.
If you don’t do the test right now, I will throw a rock theough your window.
If you want to get anything in life, Sean, never be afraid.
Part of my condition is that I keep thinking about things.
Prepare an OR for surgery.

The Simpsons 29.02

Once again, learn the patient’s name.
Horrible, it looks like it was drawned by an 8 year old.
You need to start with something simple like people.
Those are people.
I want to be looking at a window, wondering if she’ll ever get out of the weight of her own expectations.
Please try to pretend I am not here.
Okay Steven.
Damn it.
Homer and Maggie eating pizza for dinner and breakfast.
You’re not my owner.
I kinda am.
Why can’t dreams come up with something new? That’s why they’re losing viewers to Netflix.
You better muzzle him, he’s a biter.
I think you may benefit from art therapy.
As the author of Persepolis.

The Simpsons 23.03

Back stabber, snob, so judgemental.
Well, an elephant does live here.
There’s no room in the trunk, sir.
You wack who you shouldn’t and you don’t wack who you should.
You;re gifted too!
Diva.
Woke up too many mornings with stuffed animals whose names she didn’t know.

American Horror Story 7.07

God I hate this season. Glad to see more familiar faces though, but the whole Zodiac killer theory and Lena Dunham’s character were unnecessary. How absurd (and funnt) was it when she said women coupling with men should be killed, ironic cause her Girls character is definitely into sex with men as in too much. Which is why I don’t watch Girls. Not a prude, just too asexual for all that sex, it’s not like it’s Sex and the Citym Now that was a show. I’m liking Beverly more and more, I even don’t mind her lysp anymore.

I’m Beverly motherfucking Cole.
You’re a fool to underestimate the rage of a woman.
They’re at their best when angry. Don’t you think?
Aren’t we all?

2.5/10

AHS 7.08

Kill the motherfucker.
That’s incest.
As he enters you, I enter him.
What the fuck is this?
This is too screwed up. I feel like I’m being raped.
Winter?
Let’s all join our new member.

6/10

Absentia 1.04

This show could not be any more boring. I am watching this for Stana Katic, but this show is a snoozeville. I hoped we would focus on the kidnapping and the captivity, but what they’re doing could be reduced to a 6 episode mini series.

I am back! It’s only been 3 weeks into the new season and I already miss my old job where I could write reviews on a weekly basis. It will be a bit easier now that Mr.Mercedes and Liar ended this week.

Congrats to Big Little Lies and The Handmaid’s Tale on all their success at Emmys! And to Sterling Brown for being recognised for his work as Randall on This is Us.
Congrats to Hollywood Darlings on being renewed for season 2! It’s my great guilty pleasure of 2017 and I mostly love it for how much Christine Lakin swears in it. I always find it unnatural how no one is ever aloud to swear on TV (thank God for Showtime) considering half of the words I say in a day are curse words.

SVU 19.02

The smartest and most valuable show is back! The girl they chose to play the victim ruined this episode for me. Her acting sucked and I’ve never seen anyone act badly on this show before. This was new and disstressing. I have mixed feelings about Brian Cassidy returning to ruin Olivia’s life just because he’s still in love with her and never wanted her to adopt a child. He shows up 3 years later and tries to take the child away from her? Shouldn’t he have moved on with his life already?

We’re being played, Liv.
God knows I trust your instincts.
A lot of kids grow up in foster care and a lot of kids have crappy lives.
They stop seeing themselves as victims, so they stop being victims.
He kissed her before she used the inhaler.
You never really look at their faces.
He said there’d never be an investigation if it wasn’t for Brian Cassidy.
Probably a singing lesson.
Would you stop you’re getting crambs everywhere.

Greys 14.01

Drop everything cause Teddy is back!

10/10

Greys 14.02

That Meredith sleeping with George reference! I always shipped Owen with Teddy and was hoping he would leave Cristina for her. Here I was thinking Arizona’s new girlfriend is perfect for her and then we learned her profession. Every episode since has been about female orgasm.

10/10

Greys 14.03

Every impulsive decision Amelia has made has been because of cancer? And she didn’t get tested for brain tumor when her child was born without one back on Private Practice 5 years ago? They’ve mentioned Richard’s brain tumor from season 1!! and Nicole Hermann!

Meredith’s psychiatrist from 2 or 3 seasons back is now a patient.

I’m a psychiatrist. I work upstairs.
It’s nice to see you, Meredith.
You’re not of sound mind and you haven’t been in years.
I hope you’ve cleared your schedule.
Who’s Nicole Hermann?
What about Meredith and Maggie?
Is Nathan in love with you?
Years ago I had a brain tumor and Derek removed it.
You’re a bigger mess than I am.
If you coukd have a scalpel in your hand at the end of your life, would you?
I’ve checked your mortality rates when you arrived at Grey Sloan. It’s a 0.9%. Derek’s was 1.3%.
Yours is better than his and he didn’t have a brain tumor.
I was proposed to with a flash mob.
This is my brain.
I have a 10cm tumor in my left frontal lobe.
Maggie, don’t cry.
Owen and Meredith don’t know either.
I’m gonna need your help telling Owen.
And you are gonna have to tell Meredith, because I can’t do it. She’s been telling me I’m crazy for years and this kind of makes me. Kind of makes her right and I hate that.

10/10

Greys 14.04

Meredith mentioning kidnapping Zola back in episode 8.01 was one of the many highlights of this episode since they never mention season 8 unless its the planecrash. I am still extremely upset that they haven’t had Tyne Daly back on the show since season freaking 5, even though Derek and Meredith got married, Derek died, Amelia got married and there were tons of ocasions she should have been a part of. They keep saying ‘nah it’s cool don’t call my mom’ at least once a season. The Beach Boys playing during surgery? This is what surgeon I would be. The interns saying innapropriate stuff like when they lost their virginity or the weather is amazing (how can it be amazing it’s Seattle) or clearly stating Grey Sloan is their second choice at the interviews. Avery inheritted quarted of a billion dollars!

In this moment, I love you people tremendously.

They can’t hear me.

I stole her. I kidnapped my own daughter.

You should call Derek.

The yellow in your eyes means you need to have your liver checked.

The Middle 9.02

I’m a school bus driver.
It turned into a whole different colour when I cleaned it.
Welcome to statistics 204.
Mom’s not aloud to come.
And the Freshmans are all taller than me.

How to Get Away With Murder 4.01

She even fired Bonnie?! I am honestly not interested in getting to know Laurel’s family and what happened to her family.

10/10

How to Get Away With Murder 4.02

This was an exceptional episode. I loved how Annalise defended her prison friend (Rose from Lost), but what happened in 4.03 ruined this for me. I can’t decided whether Analise’s or Jasmine’s monologues were better, they were both fantastic.

The luckiest thing that ever happened to me was not being chosen to be a part of her cult. Each of her interns nearly flunk out due to her drama and those are the ones still alive.
You wanna save me? Go back to when I was 13 and my daddy sold my ass to a crook for a couple of bags of smack. You know what they do to a new girl? Strip you naked and take turns. They call it wolf packing, because then you are so broken, they can work you full time. In vans, in basements and only way to get through it is to shoot up and get numb.
You think she’s you.
You mean the sexual abuse that she’d experienced as a child.
And you actually believed that a 13 year old child was making a choice to have sex with grown men for money?
All of these cases are virtually identical to my client’s. Except for one. My client was black and all those girls were white.
Many of the women that I see with addiction issues have been abused often physically, sexually.
If Jasmine were treated like a white girl, she would have been sent to a safe place to eat, sleep, maybe even given an opportunity to go to school.
Because that’s what we do to black people, women and gay people in this world. We turn a blind eye and tell them that their lives don’t matter. But they do matter.
You will be eligible for assistance and job without disclosing your criminal history.
It’s as much of a fresh start as the law will allow. The one you should have been given in 1968.
It’s the firm that represents my father.
Because he killed Wes. My father killed Wes and you’re gonna help me take him down.

10/10

This is Us 2.01

I have yet to watch episodes 2 and 3, but the ending of this one had me devastated. This is a major spoiler so scroll down if you haven’t seen it. On my way to London the other day, I saw the wreckage of the Grenfell Tower from the bus and it left me uneasy knowing the tower will probably haunt visitors for many upcoming months. The Grenfell tragedy left a huge emotional impact on the UK population, but seeing the wreckage with my own eyes made it painfully real. If you watched the episode you know why I found Jack’s death devastating, as burning alive may be one of the most awful ways to go. The episode was not perfect, but the last 60 seconds certainly were, with teenage Kate telling Randall she should be the one to tell Kevin about their father’s death.

He should hear this from me.

American Horror Story 7.01

I was enjoying this season…for the first 3 episodes, now I know better. This is even weaker than Hotel and Ranoake. And I am happy there’s no Lady Gaga this season.

10/10

American Horror Story 7.02

Someone cutting the wires, random ice cream truck, Audrey freaking out, Audrey telling her son to take his glasses before escaping from the house and all the clowns already had me hooked at that point. Now I know they’re just a bunch of stupid, childish and angry kids and despise Evan’s character and the entire Cult.

Is she okay?
We don’t scare easily.
Did she tell you I was the one that killed him?
Lesbians!

6/10

American Horror Story 7.03

I was upset when my DVR deleted it out of the blue after only 3 watches. This episode is gold. I know there won’t be a better one this season.

10/10

American Horror Story 7.04

Emma Roberts has been brought back this season, for only one fucking episode. Wtf?!

3/10

American Horror Story 7.05

I was so glad the Hotel maid was back and then she got killed off as quickly as Emma Roberts.

You used the word cult.
There’s a cult in this city. They’re the ones responsible for all the murders.
He’s like a modern day Charles Manson.
Are you saying you believe me?

8/10

The Goldbergs 5.02

This may as well be 5.03 I’ll check later.

Any film student who spent a large part of their childhood running around with their camera, plotting film scenarios, scripts and scenes in their head will surely feel nothing but comfort when they see Adam being once again told to ‘keep making movies’. The beloved voiceover responded ‘And I did.’ This sort of the quite common now The Goldbergs thing always leaves me teary eyed.

Well that content was shockingly simple but wow, you have a video camera!
Don’t be this guy!
That’s a worrying cautionary tale.
As you know I have a video camera.
I think we all know how that held you back socially.
Indeed.
Yes, thanks and what the fuck is this movie.
I suggest you keep making more.
And I did.

3.5/10

Scandal 7.01

QPA? What is this a babysitting service?
He’s a spy. That’s what you do to spies that get caught.
Brought you a hand sanitizer.
It’s four years during which every high school freshman in this country won’t work as hard as they might if they believed their government gave a damn about them. Four years of high school graduates moving into low skill jobs because they can’t afford to take on student loans.
Do what I say and you’ll become a monument.
Which one do you want to be?
A monument. I want to be a monument.

7/10

Liar 1.01

One long SVU episode, starring Joanne Froggatt (who’s Downton Abbey character Anna Bates was also a rape survivor) and I’m just really happy this was made.

How badly does he need to hurt me for you to call it rape?
He swaped the glasses!
Are you saying he drugged you?
He is a rapist.
244 likes.
I’ve posted it to his page.

10/10

Liar 1.02

4000 shares.
This is my life.
And this my body.
It’s 10 000 already.
He deserved it. She looks like a slut.
85 000 of women a year raped in the UK.
5.7% of cases reported end with a conviction.
What are you watching?
Excuse me I’m not feeling well.

Liar 1.03

I was a headmaster.
That’s what happens when everybody thinks your dad is a rapist.
You’re pregnant?
You’re just a predator.
I would tell you that I don’t drink with men who rape women.
I’ sorry we let you down.

4/10

Liar 1.04

And he raped me.
I thought I was drunk.
It felt like it happened to someone else.
He said it was my idea and I believed him.
I feel like I’m broken.
He’s done it twice, who knows how many more.
Suddenly you don’t know what’s important anymore. You’re wondering why you bother to get up in the morning, get dressed and do the same old thing day in and day out.
I’ve changed and I don’t know how to change back.
Maybe you don’t have to. Maybe you just have to learn who you are now.
You don’t get to do this to me twice.
You raped me.
I just nought GHB.

8/10

Liar 1.05

Looks like some sort of a bruise. A few actually.
I want you to test me for GHB.
You won’t get away with what you did to me.
You raped me.

Absentia 1.01

Stana Katic has a new TV Series! The pilot was great, shame the next two episodes weren’t.

You’ve been gone 6 years.

10/10

Absentia 1.02

This sucked more or less.

2/10

Absentia 1.03

Did you see how her son was thrown and hit his head! Woah this was too brutal for television and left me in a state of shock. The show isn’t that interesting, but let’s be honest, I have and will watch anything with Stana Katic.

3/10

Gifted 1.01

Not too good even for a teen show, but I’ll stick with it.

4/10

Gifted 1.02

Okay that was really bad.

1/10

SEAL Team 1.01

That was boring. I knew I should have started The Last Ship instead of this. I’m not sure I will watch more as not even David Boreanaz and Max Thierot can save it.

Greys 13.15

For Greys this episode was just meh.

You need to replace the mattresses in all on-call rooms.
I’m the Avery of this hospital.
Floss. Can’t sleep without it.
I know.
Get anywhere with you? So you admit, there’s somewhere to get with you.
Some days will run you down.
I think about you a lot, I can’t stop, I’m telling you. I’m in, if you are.

SVU 18.12

What a wonderful episode.

Local girl makes good and this is her welcome home present.
Nothing has changed. You’re the same person that you have before.
Some survivors prefer to go public.
You didn’t do anything wrong.
A predator raped and assaulted you, embarrassment doesn’t even enter the conversation.
And what do I do, lieutenant? What’s my mission.
You heal.
Get away from me, bitch.
I cherish women.
Then I took a cab to go see my grandma.
Grandma? Is this guy for real?
In my work, over the years with survivors, there’s this amazing power, this freedom in coming forward. Something like this changes you, but it doesn’t reduce you.
It will not define me, it will not break me.I will not be ashamed of what happened to me. There’s only honor in being a survivor.

8.5/10

The Middle 8.16

Go find a place it will look nice in.

Nashville 5.09

We all knew Connie thought of leaving, but this was brutal! Next episode Rayna had this line where she said she wants to live, because she has two daughters and now Connie just gave up on them. They brought Nashville back to kill Rayna off?

Oh my God, that’s Rayna James.
Miss Barnes?
If you know who I am, you know I don’t take orders.
She doesn’t care anymore. It’s just my mom. She’s the only one who cares.
It’s just a stupid concert.
Don’t say that. Don’t ever say that,okay You have a gift, honey. It’s your priveledge. It’s your responsibility to share that with people.
You know who also loves you? Deacon.
I love you, Deacon.
I love you, Rayna.
All I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me.

10/10

Nashville 5.10

You know how Juliette said she will never forget the first time she heard Rayna Jaymes sing and I will never forget the first time I heard this beautiful song Rayna had ‘. I don’t think a song has ever got me like this. Whole 100 percent. That song was me to the fullest.

Bucky crying and Maddie crying on stage and Daphne and Deacon helping her finish Rayna’s song.
Because your mother meant the world to so many people.
Why did mom have to die?
Life can be so beautiful and then so cruel.
Juliette Barnes would like to see you in her dressing room.
You’re her daughter, you should be doing this. This is not my song to sing, it’s yours.
I will never forget the first time I heard Rayna Jaymes sing.
Her daughter, Maddie.

This Is Us 1.09

I got my parents hooked on this show and they are just as mesmerized by it as I am. As of this week, I only have 3 episodes to go.

I want Wes’s immunity deal.
Whoever killed him cut the gas line.

Attention perverts, look away from the hot dog girl on a stick.
Nobody loved the mall more than my brother and sister.

If I ever get a job in show business, I am not taking you as my date as anything.
Our Hollywood dream is back on the table.
Your mom’s in La La Land.

That was without a doubt the shittiest episode of Modern Family.

He’s interviewing for a job in the Warehouse. He’s a forklift operator.

Riverdale 1.05

I put it in my notes to get that funeral song, and It’s Think up Anger – Shout, it was played when Cheryl walked to the aisle dressed in white, so that’s what I’m doing.

Bones 12.05

We learn that Fisher had a thing for Brennan and wrote a fanfiction of them having sex and solving crimes together.

Boner Street.
Is Brennan really going to narrate her new book?
Contact lens. if we can pull his fingerprint off of it.
I myself spent time in foster care.
I have to record an audition.
I attended North-western.
I assure you, offence was taken.
More of an Adams Family kid?
Spiders, how about a warning.
Don’t ever take credit for how well I turned out.
A plot centred around a tormented intern who had an affair with his boss.
You’ve not only read my novels, you were once a devoted fan of them.
Despite your apathetic affectations, there are things in this life that bring you joy.

Nashville 5.08

Rayna’s attacker said everything we ever wanted to say to our favorite artist. Thanks for being there in my loneliest moments and understanding me when no one gave a crap.

I’m not going to a show with a creepy dude following me around.
I want to do my next album with you in the choir.
I got my period. I need new clothes. My clothes got all messed up.
I remember you and Rayna sneaking around when I was little.
I can’t believe Maddie called you.
I’m gonna push Highway 65 to sign you.
You’re not this angry kid anymore.
I wanted to tell you that you understand me better than anyone I’ve ever known.
How can that be true? I just met you.
That’s not true.
You met me the day I heard your first single on my Mom’s stereo back in West Memphis. You spoke to me in a way that I couldn’t speak to myself. You changed my life. You’ve known me for a very long time. And all I’ve ever wanted was to meet you.
It was given to me by an awful man. An alcoholic abuser like your husband.
Deacon’s not an abuser.
I wanted to talk to you ’cause I could see that you were different.
You weren’t like the ones that lie, and make fun of me behind my back.
Make up stupid excuses like I don’t know what’s going on.
You think you’re the only person who’s ever been abused in your life? I didn’t say that.
Well, I’ve got a story for you. And this is not something you’re gonna find on the Internet.
You wanna hear it? My father was a sociopath. Killed my mother, covered it up. And that happened when I was 12 years old. And I have to deal with that every day of my life. And then sometimes it gets to me, and I overcompensate with my husband. And in my business, and I say things to my daughters that I know deep down are just gonna make ’em want to run away from me. But it’s like I can’t help it. Cause that horror, it’s just right there at the surface. And I don’t want them to feel that.
And I don’t want them to think I’m feeling it. So I write songs and I sing them, cause that’s the only way I know how to deal with this pain that I carry inside me.
And that loser husband of mine? His daddy whipped him every single day. And that’s the same piece of crap that got him drinking in the fourth grade.
How is it we can be so awful to the people we love the most? That just makes me so angry.
Makes me so sad. I know you’re carrying that kind of pain too.
I see that.
But the only choice we have is we got to go on.
We can’t give in to that.
You give in to that, that evil man, he wins.
‘Cause that means he broke you just like he wanted to.
Now you being here right now, you’re giving in to it.
I have two daughters who need me, okay?
You’re working with Rayna James, right? 911 from her phone.
My husband goes by his middle name.
And that’s the same thing that got him drinking in the 4th grade.
I have two daughters.

Switched at Birth 5.06

I lost a lot of weight.
So you can just tattoo that?
They’re looking for diverse teachers.
I wouldn’t be pre-med if it wasn’t for you.

Got him into law school.
We’re just gonna sit around and act all victimy.
You can call me whatever you want.
They think you’re a joke now.
This bitch. I’m no joke.
She did a DNA test on Wes, idiot.
I was pregnant 8 months, they killed my baby.
Sorry about your baby and Wes too.
Did you know her when she was pregnant?
She admitted she moved the body.
Wes was cremated.
I think Connor is the annonymous source this whole time.
That’s why we’ve been following you and trusting you. Because you said you knew what you were doing, but now one of us just got killed and we need to find out who did that.
You checked your voicemail.
You went to Annalise’s house that night, didn’t you?

9.5/10

The Goldbergs 4.17

Adam swears for the first time and everyone gets their own jar. Adam gets an Adam jar for everytime he says something nerdy. JTP gets a new member.

Who taught you to do this?
You.
It’s gonna be fucking fun.
We’re like best fucking friends.
Oh, fuck , you’re so adorable.
Adam Jar for every time you say something nerdy.

The Simpsons 28.14

Smithers, the bodies. ‘Christmas decorations’.
People don’t deserve so many awards. People suck. They should just be glad to be alive.
Tofu bell.
I’m sure you have an explanation for where you were?
The best! I was eating hotdogs.
That is so stupid, it must be the truth.
Well, you were young then, and you’re stupid now.
If we split up, no one gets Homer.
That’s when I started eating my emotions.
I’m the smartest ball in the bag.
I would never forget you, how could I?

Modern Family 8.16

Nathan Fillion and Jane Krakowski guest star yet again in one of the most plain and uneventful episodes of Modern Family. Mitchell goes on a tea brunch with Hayley and Nathan Fillion and Cam join them, meanwhile Gloria fights with Jane Krakowski’s character.

You know it’s loud when you can’t hear my voice.

Scandal 6.04

Cyrus is stuck in prison and we learn that he did not do it.

I’m leaving you.
You said you’d never leave me.
Ready for the belt now?
Everyone in my family voted for Frank Vargas.
I don’t want you to bleed all over the carpet.
I am a monster, but I am your monster.
At some point the debt has to be paid.
Be a man you can be proud of, Cy.
I’m going to die in here.
I will always be your friend, but I will not speak to you again.
Give me your belt.
I’m innocent.
You’re innocent.
I just wanted to see you suffer.
I’m innocent.
Tom couldn’t do it, which means Cyrus is innocent.

8.5/10

The Good Fight 1.04

Matthew Perry guest stars and complicates things and I don’t think we could care less. Are we supposed to ship Maia and Clarissa?  And Maia is bisexual, not gay? What a disappointment.

Yeah, my girlfriend is pretty hot.
Was that the first time you slapped someone?
I guess it was.
Fuck you.

Congrats to SVU on 400 episodes!

Grey’s Anatomy 13.11

30 years to life.
That’s not even his case.
The pelvis is broken, trapping the baby’s head.
I was going to go home and tell my kids that daddy was a hero today.
How did it get from that to like everybody’s dying?
You’re not welcome on my case, and Webber, he’s a friend of mine.
Is she ok? Is she sober, at least tell me that.
Is this guy breathing funny.
I need to be two people. I need to Alex.
You saved that kid’s life.
Stuff like this happens and I’m built for it.
Amelia? Where’s Amelia? Where is everybody?
So you keep going, you don’t give up, you stand tall, you fight.
I miss Alex, I hate that he’s gone.
They hurt, they break, they bleed.

9.5/10


SVU 18.09

SVU serves another amazing episode, and the last two lines between

I think I’ve been raped.
Can you tell me what happened?
I can’t, I don’t remember anything.
The lab results came back and it shows two separate semen samples.
Are you saying two men raped me?
The sample is a familiar match.
Don’t worry dear I can afford it.
If they’re coming to the party, what do they expect?
When your grandfather sees someone younger than he is, getting somebody prettier than he gets, he can’t stand it.
Your mother was just pregnant with you, she was beautiful, radiant, he invited us to a party and he gave her a drink, a special drink.
Do you think this generation is better?
I don’t think this generation is any better, or different. It’s just younger.
Lieutenant Benson, SVU.

Nashville 5.07

Are we really ready to see Maddie dating a guy who lives in a basement-like apartment?

These are the facts, honey, the rest is just cheap whisky.
Where exactly were you when the cake burned?
An alarm went off.
Does it hurt… being in love?
But underneath the pain, my favorite hurricane.

3/10


Scandal 6.03

Meredith’s father better gets out of prison as this show cannot afford to lose Cyrus.

Why are you investigating Cyrus Bean?
I crawled across the lawn to get here, let me in.
They were sleeping together.
I’ll withdraw, if Mellie does. Let the country pick a new president.
What you called the most beautiful thing, I’m keeping it. It’s not safe in your hands.
I want to be the president of the United States.
You deserve to die more than anyone I’ve ever killed.
He confessed.
Mellie, you are the next president of the United States.
Cyrus, I want you to be the vice president.

How to get away with murder 3.12

In case of emergency.
They’re not coming? The kids.
The memorial’s today.
Keep coming for me, maybe I will murder somebody.
She just confessed to burning down the house with her brother in it.
Of course not, that would be illegal.
You honestly want me to believe you lost the body.
They lost his body that proves you’re being framed.
You said you didn’t believe me.
Do you think me and you up here had nothing to do with it?
He didn’t do it.
We are all crazy debating over who killed our friend.
You didn’t just neglect them, you molested them.
Take a picture.
Who the hell are you?
Beyonce. Who the hell are you?

Switched at birth 5.02

Bay got a job as a Tattoo Apprentice.

Is that your book.
Those guys were talking about robbing you.
I speak Mandarin, I know ASL.
Can I see your portfolio?

The Good Place 1.12

I’m going to sit alone in my house watching wedding fails on the YouTube, drinking margaritas through a straw until I pass out on my vibrator.
Do you have a second to talk about the environment?
No bug off whale humper.
Is there a 7-Eleven on the way?
I’m talking Kristen Stewart on red carpet level of emotionless.
Eleanor is not currently in the bad place, we have no idea where she is.
This is not your bar mitzvah anymore, bitch, now it’s my 24th birthday.
I was disturbed particularly by starting fire in the mailbox to get the mailman to take off his shirt.
Oh your accomplices will go to the bad place instead.
We’re off the hook!

8/10


The Good Place 1.13

I cried when they restarted everything. This was an awesome season finale to a so-so show.

You do realise the bad place is not exactly a couple of the retreat.
This is the bad place.
We’ve been torturing each other.
Hey, now this is the bad place.
Side note, I might legit be into Tahani.
Welcome, everything is fine.
You Eleonor, are dead.
Eleonor, find Chidi.

Congrats to Greys, How to Get Away and Scandal on joining The Middle among the shows we’ll see next year!

Greys 13.12

It seems ridicoulous for DeLuca to drop the charges, Karev injured his eye for Christ’s sake. How can you just forgive him to save a girl you have a crush on. Just wait how mad he’ll get when she goes back to Karev. They actually replaced Grey with Kepner as the chief of General Surgery as Meredith gets suspended. We meet Maggie’s mom and they rob us of the moments she met Webber and Meredith. At least Meredith loves her. Meanwhile, a woman is stuck in a razor wire and Hunts cuts himself on it as he tries to calm her down.

I’m dropping the charges
Has he threatened you?
I get a star what I do play nice with others.
Maggie your mom is here.
Arizona and I are already old friends.
She told on me?
Then you no longer have an OR.
You’re suspended.
Bailey took out Grey.
Look at the hospital sign. Grey seems untouchable.
I just lost mine.
I need to introduce him to my mother.
Did Shepherd got canned too?
Then you get Meredith Grey suspended?
You’re Maggie Pierce’s mom so yes.
Your mom’s in the kitchen.
My mom? She met you without me. You met?
I’m in love with her, the woman’s incredible. I’m going to binge watch TV tell her she can move in.
Karev? He’s in prison.
Why did she leave though?
Bailey already found the new chief of General?
Bailey replaced you with Kepner.

10/10

The Middle 8.13

Shockingly, even The Middle has bad days.

I feel like anything I say here is going to be wrong, so you wanna just hug me?
The paved the bump.
Do you weirdly feel like you want to eat a lot of ice cream?
I weirdly do.

4 / 10

SVU 18.10

Congrats to SVU on 400 episodes! Sadly, this was one of the weakest, they should have left it off with the son being a perv.

He’s my son’s best friend.
You sexually assaulted him about 10 times.
Nothing natural healthy about statutory rape.
She’s Borderline.
He was standing there, masturbating.
What my mum said about me, It’s a lie.
I know that.

4/10

How to get away with murder 3.11

I killed Wes, tell Annalise I’m sorry.
I trusted you to get me out on bail.
Frank turned himself in.
I know what it’s like to be scared of Annalise.
He knows about Sam, I told him.
You need to put it on Frank.
They don’t like gay people there.
They charged Frank as you co-conspirator.

9/10

Nashville 5.05

Write ‘Their friends are sitting over there’.
I’m sorry I’m not comfortable with that.
You’re bipolar.
The only thing holding you back is you.
Maddie tells us you’re a musician.
Not like you, I play some country and blues.

2.5 / 10

Nashville 5.06

I don’t care if he’s green blue or purple.
I want toMake a gospel album gospel and spiritual.
We have big plans for you.
Daphne, I’m a friend off Rayna.
You don’t know my mum.

3 / 10

Scandal 6.02

I dodn’t realize Mellie’s middle name was Margaret. Same as Olivia Benson, and oh right, me. I’ve always hated that name, but now I’m getting to being okay with it.

I want you to join me as vice president.
Mary Margaret Grant.
I’m pretty sure it’s just love. I have gone without it all this time. Can you believe I went for so long never feeling. Is this what you felt with Fitz, because if it is, I understand. You should have it.
You can’t be the person who destroys every single relationship I have.
Good luck getting back to the White House.
We don’t have a candidate anymore.
Over my dead body.

5/10

The Simpsons 28.11

Loved the McDonalds reference, I only made it through 5.5 days myself. The episode is disappointing, unfortunately it’s not thant uncommon recently.

I thought you would say grandpa died.
The meeting isn’t over yet.
I got turned down by McDonald’s.
You are imagining mayonnaise doctors?

2/10

Switched at birth 5.01

I’m not really into that China thing. I thought it was pretentious last year, and it still is. And to learn the language as hard as Mandarin just by living in China for 8 months is ridiculous. I’m unhappy about Bay working as a tattoo artist as it does not seem realistic. They should shave shown her pursuing art, painting benches and having her little art projects, only a few artists go into tattooing. I really admired Emmett’s storyline up until the point Melody said he was depressed. Can’t he just fail without turning it into a mental breakdown? I hated how snobby he was all last season talking about his big film projects and never failing once. I guess they’re gonna move him back to Kansas and I’m actually okay with that. No parent is as concerned about their child’s depression as Melody is in this episode and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels sad and betrayed by this episode. I couldn’t care less about Travis and Bay, I think they work fine together, so it’ll be a waste when Bay and Emmett get back together.

I’m gonna work at a tattoo parlor.
Where do you think Travis was living those 8 months.
Pre-med classes are closed.
I know for a fact that he was rejected from all the big festivals.
He was always talking about how things were so much better in high school and how life will never be as good as it was back then.
I shouldn’t have made a movie about what happened to you.
I thought it was going to open all these doors for me but it didn’t.
Why don’t you move in here?
Do you remember your uncle? He commited suicide.
He was this thriving, funny, ambitious kid and then in the course of a year, when he was around your age, he changed. He would just suddenly feel deeply profoundly lonely and he didn’t know why or how to stop it. And then it turned into a tragedy.

9/10

Riverdale 1.01

What really caught my attention was the wonderful narration of the show. I’ve done my share of radio work and honestly, this is the material a radio person or a voice actor would want to work with. Just try reading these five lines:

‘Our story begins as that’s what the Blossom Twins did that summer.
A week later the Blossom family buried an empty caskett.
He was looking for the girl next door, instead he found me.
It was a town of shadows and secrets now.
On Tuesday, halfway through 5th period,the first arrest would be made.’

I personally loved these lines, shout out to you, Riverdale for doing such a good job. I will stick around for the lovely scenography for example in scenes like: where the Blossom twins hold hands or get out of the car with their red haid and Cheryl’s red shoes. It was aesthetically pleasing.

Another thing worth mentioning, Betty squeezing her fists so hard, her nails left bloody marks on her hands, plus she’s on Aderral.

By the rivers Edge.
I dropped a glove in the water and Jason reach down to get it accidentally tipped the boat and panicked and drown.
Don’t rush this time, Betty, it goes by so fast at your age. One summer can change everything.
Sunday night, thank God for HBO.
Wonderful, 10 minutes in and I’m already the Blue Jasmine of Riverdale High.
We heard fireworks.
He was shot.

7.5/10

Riverdale 1.02

The episode was much much worse than the first one.

Watch it, Wednesday Addams.
Most of the time the people we like, don’t like us back.
Oh little Archie,we’re too young. Ask me when I’m 18 and I’ll say yes.
Get the hell out of my house before I kill you.
Why were you so against them being together.
Did you and Donnie Darko kill him together?
Jason died over a week later.

3.5 / 10

Riverdale 1.03

Girls took down school players, it all felt forced and unnecesary.

Polly’s in this book, next to Jason.
You want to be a bad girl like a sister Polly was.
Archie has talent, unquestionable.
I am soundproofing the garage.
You became another person.
If he hurt Polly, I’m sorry.
I saw Miss Grundy’s car by the river.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started as weekly reviews on movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, partially thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd, and partially because of my demanding day job.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years. Here I comment on films and episodes I watch. Enjoy! – Joanne

Spent some time in Bham this week.
Goodbye 2018! Happy New Year featuring my favorite book of 2018 and 5 favorite covers of the year. I think I may make it a tradition and take a similar photo next year. May 2019 be everything you want it to be and so much more!
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎁
Binley, I've missed you.
The indoor aqua park in the middle of the city centre is starting to make Coventry look worthy of its City of Culture 2021 title, especially from this spot, accompanied by the Coventry Cathedral.
Worth staying up for! Coventry, 7:34am.
🎄 Merry Christmas! #coventry
Bull Yard looks especially magical today
Christmas came early! Let's be honest, it's the only snow we'll see all year.
Morning!
This lovely sunset greeted me as I stepped out of the cinema after seeing Suburbicon last Thursday.
Doesn't get more Cov than this. #godiva #ladygodiva
Sunset right now.
For someone who lives 2h from London, I sure don't visit enough.
Got to hear the gong one more time before the renovations fully start!
Subtle sunrise just now.
Obsessed with this one! Best sunset we've had in months!
Sunset from my house.

favorite quotes

‘I used to think about
your life in New York. I tried to imagine your room. I kept track of the time difference, so I  knew when you were awake and when you were asleep.’ (Disobedience)

‘Nothing’s clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?’ (The Aviator)

‘You’re doing it worng. If you’re trying to kill yourself, cut vertically. They can’t stitch that up.’ (American Horror Story)

‘It’s impossible to worry about anything else when there’s blood coming out of you.’
(Short Term 12)

‘I wanted it to happen. And when we were girls… Even then, it was the same. It’s always been this way! I have always wanted it.’ (Disobedience)

‘No razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.’
(Short Term 12)

‘Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good.’ (Greys)

‘Why did you get married, Esti? Why didn’t you just leave? So everything was all right when I left?’
‘No. I was ill.’
‘What sort of ill?’
‘In my head.’
‘If I had to sleep with a man, why not with our best friend?’
‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Have you been with other women?’
‘No. Not really. And you?’
‘No.’
‘But, Esti… Do you still
only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are going to change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed a feel like I might die today.’ (Greys)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Don’t wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don’t. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that make us hold it together.’  (Greys)

‘I am not food, you cannot just eat and eat.’ (The Favourite)

‘At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing, is reason enough to celebrate.’ (Greys)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘What happened last year when you fell in the water?’
‘I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?’
‘You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ammunition.’
‘I was trying to save a patient!’
‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?’
‘When are you going to stop suggesting that I’m suicidal?’
‘When you start acting like someone that wants to be alive.’
‘Give me my chart.’
‘Why?’
‘Because I’m not suicidal, and if it says that I am, then it’s wrong.’ (Greys)

‘No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.’
‘No, actually you do. Your mother quit your father. Your father quit you. You quit your boyfriend and if I read your hospital chart correctly you quit your life momentarily on a couple of occasions. You quit. It’s what you know how to do.’ (Greys)

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’
‘Then show me your arm.’ (Degrassi)

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

‘You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘Look, my whole life, I have been the freak. The girl who nobody picked for dodgeball. The girl who didn’t have a mom. The girl who dressed funny because it was her dad buying her clothes. And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘Where the hell was I that year?’
‘Your were watching television’. (Everybody Loves Raymond)
