Who will even watch Castle without Beckett? Every Castle fan ever is feeling very crappy this week as Stana Katic was written off Castle. (Lanie too) No one wants to see Castle, Alexis and that new PI in LA or NY or wherever as long as Beckett is not with them.

Greys 12.18

I just love CCTV portrayal in films and TV, as that’s what I do for a living. And yep, that door opened.

Mom’s in OR 1, dad’s in OR 2.

9.5/10

Greys 12.19

Who would have thought I’d be Callie and Arizona fighting for custody, not April and Avery. When I heard Callie say Arizona can come visit I thought why is she so sure, she’ll get custody, cause Arizona cheated? And then as Arizona was sitting at that lawyer’s office, I remembered that Callie is Sofia’s biological mother, and however unfair it feels (Arizona raised that child from day 1), Callie has custodial priority. The jury with Maggie and Meredith and Owen was just the perfect fit. Ben calling Tuck his kid was just the cutest, also when Bailey called him Benjamin. I am so happy they changed the kid who plays Sophia, cause this one is a cutie. Also, why does the new Zola look so much like Shonda? Is that her kid?

I know I’m only here for support…
About, I don’t know a 100 feet.

So I don’t leave our child asleep in his bed.

10/10

SVU 17.13

Sometimes the more witnesses, the less help.
I learned to function while drunk.
I think she’ll be drinking by Friday night.

4.5/10

Shameless 6.05

We are so organized for a homeless family.
Never fails, Gallagher crisis, Frank is drunk and high.
We got evicted.

10/10

The Good Wife 7.13

That monologue. Probably best of The Good Wife of all times.

He just whispered Help Me.
Sir, if you want my help…
Sometimes I want to pull covers over my head and never do anything. I’m drinking like I never had before.
And al I wanna do is have another one.
Now I’m sick to death of everything.
I’m stuck in this stupid little apartment.
I’m not build to be an unhappy person wondering what ever happened to my life.
Do you have any guns in this apartment?

10/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.15

Hmm, is Frank gone?

What’s wrong with you, you stupid?
I live alone, it’s not that bad.
Micheala relax, I know how to handle this.
Caleb killed my mother.
Because I’m in love with him.
Are we supposed to believe any of that?
Why do you keep doing it? Believing what men tell you.
He needs to go.

10/10

Nashville 4.15

I’m obsessed with that Wild Car song.

I’ve been with him since I was 14.
I’m a sick chick, I’m a real sick chick.
To the man I have always thought of as my father.
Everybody’s got a sad song and this one’s mine.
To tell the truth, I always knew I’d be one.
Like choosing the band leader.
I miss performing.

7.5/10

Faking It 3.04

Another good episode, also every time Lauren or someone else says What the Fuck the show gets better.

With all the lesbians this summer.
She really fucked me this time.
I didn’t choose my label. I’m stuck with it.
You refuse to label, how convenient for you.
If I talk about it, it’s real.
Somebody asked me today what normal even means and I didn’t have a good answer. Maybe I need to find one.

7/10

Faking It 3.05

I love Parent Trap, both of them and It Takes Two probably even more, so i enjoyed this episode.

I’m frustrated that you’re going down her rabbit hole again.
Two Lindsay Lohan have nothing on us.
I know you’ll be busy Parent Trapping.
I was the first person to come out, in 4th grade.
I want you as my sister.

6.5/10

American Crime Story 1.01

Started off great, but why is he sleeping with his lady in his friend’s daughter’s bed?

He didn’t ask how she died.
Please don’t kill yourself in my daughters room.
You want your kids to grow up with no parents?
Oh my God, we’re gonna look like morons.

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?

More young creatives.
My avocado post got more likes.
She’s having an argument with an Uber driver about the ring.
It looks like I’m engaged to myself.

5.5/10

Younger 2.10

How did you like this season? It was light, but good.

I think he shares an assistant with a bunch of other guys. (I bet he does)
I’m not some emo teen who just lost their virginity.
Either you tell her or I will.

5/10

Younger 2.11

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

I’m tired of skinny jeans, but you just take a deep breath and hang in there.
Liza Miller is your mom?
Oh please tell me you’re not her new boyfriend.
Ice T
You can tell everyone about me, I don’t care. She deserves to know who she’ll be spending the rest of her life with.

3.5/10

The Simpsons 27.17

‘Excellent’ episode.

…Married to Homer.
Why am I on this? Swipe.
Finally I’m payed to act.
I’ll be in my trailer.
This isn’t Fiji water.
Someone’s using it for unmerry purposes.
Fishing license.
I’m dictating my autobiography.
Release. Release. Release!
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.

10/10

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.

10/10

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.

9/10

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.

4/10

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.

4/10

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?!

4/10

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.

8/10

Younger 2.12

What’s with a super weak finale?

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

3/10

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?
A college degree.

how to get away with murder, svu, tv show reviews, tv shows reviews

Fuller House has been renewed for season 2! After just 5 days! Are you guys just loving it?

Since I’m going on a holiday this Saturday, here’s part 1 of the remaining reviews.

Greys 17.11

The little Kepner wanting to have 3 children was adorable. Why on Earth didn’t she say she was pregnant? I honestly never could stand Avery, now it’s pure hate.

3/10

SVU 17.10

A case about a tacher sleeping with her students, meanwhile a wrestling coach sexualy assaults boys.

Danger of getting laid.
There are two predators in the same school.
Predators know who to pick on.
I woke up, because his mouth was on me.
It wasn’t your fault. It was nothing. It didn’t mean anything. You were drugged and your body reacted.
Whatever he may have made you do.
He’s the kid who got it from the wrestling coach.

9/10

SVU 17.11

One of the best episodes this season where Olivia goes to the house of a family her babysitter works for, and ends up being one of the hostages. The 16 year old daughter is raped, and Olivia once again cannot stop the rapist. The mother then calls and asks how are their kids and they answer they#’re okay but no one tells her her daughter has been raped. The girl’s brother was screaming Somebody help her, Make him stop’ which made it excrutiantly painful.

I just yelled ‘Stop police!’, but I’m not police.
All you have to do this go in there.

10/10

SVU 17.16

Liv and Tucker, seriously? Remember when he was always on hers and Elliot’s asses and basically hated them both? A vlogger gets raped and Rollins does something very stupid. Why would she risk being raped for one victim? They should have had one of her followers attack her, not some random pseudo celebrity. We all knew the new sergeant would run the place, just because of his daddy, and Liv would be left behind.

I’m a vlogger. My followers want to know anything that happens to me.
You didn’t deserve what happened to you.
Her exact words?
I don’t know her head was in my lap.
You used yourself as bait?
They tried to rape me.
Rollins in my office, please.
She lied to me. She said she didn’t post it.

5/10

Castle 8.10

A good Castle episode, that’s a shocker. I know I should contemplate every week, but there’s nothing to contemplate. But then Castle wanted to get thrown in jail and we remembered why we love it so much.

I went to high school with Nina. What high school?
I’m gonna get thrown in jail.
Joanna, how would you like to have a character in my next novel named after you?
How about a villain?

6/10

The Middle 7.15

What is going on with The Middle? This is definitely the weakest season.

Who’s that?
None of your business.
You would recognise it cause you never talk.

1.5/10

The Middle 7.16

Weakest episode of the season.

Free Wifi and a nice view.
Let me just stick my head out so I know what’s our new address.

3.5/10

Younger 2.8

I just love this show.

Millennial Print, you really are shameless.
#goodluck
What do creative directors do exactly?
Someone else’s coke mostly.
That girl is something special.
Assistants don’t have a lunch.
I’m not 26, I’m 40.
Now I’m interested.
Now I got another shot at my 20s.
According to New York Times you don’t exist.
Liza, are you crying?
I’m just so happy for you.

7/10

Scandal 5.11

I am loving this Liv/Mellie friendship. Carlos Solis joins the cast.

Because that Muppet is in love with you.
I left for the same reasons you stayed.
That’s what you write.You write that you were scared. That you couldn’t stand up to him. You didn’t need Fitz to give you the power. You had that power all along. It just took you a little longer to realize.
Get out your laptop, start typing.

7.5/10

Scandal 5.12

I loved how Cyrus staged for Carlos from Desperate Housewives to get shot, just so he can be the hero.

It’s easy , you just need to be in touch with your inner child.
Since you’re my only friend now, you can call me Fitz.

4.5/10

How to get Away with Murder 2.11

Ask miss Winterbottom. Clearly she’s the only one listening.
Don’t feel bad when i’m gonna end up shooting myself.
Wes went to the health centre to get some sleeping pills and they checked him into the psych ward.
You’re fired. My old Bonnie is back.
First year’s the hardest and I’m so behind.She needs therapy.
We all need therapy.
I killed Lila.

5/10

How to get Away with Murder 2.12

Oh, I hope Wes killed his mom.

Let mommy take care of it the way she always does.
Now what, mommy?
Now I have five of them and it’s the worst experience of my life.
When he applies to law school she helps him get in.
That one of you will be Wes Gibbins.
Is it true? Did Wes kill his mother?

7/10

Grandfathered 1.17

So do I just pay him in cash when he gets here?
This is Juliet.
Where’s Romeo?

7/10

Grandfathered 1.18

Is this really how they want to finish this and possibly the show’s only season? With them dating other people? It was the show’s worst episode. Also, too sex crazed, and not enough Granfdfather-ing.

With this Sarah this happened?

0.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.17

Now the new A has Emily’s fingerprints on the murder weapon.

That person may be storing my future offspring.
I’ll sleep when I’m unemployed.You get a chance to make people better than yourself.
You are the writer in the family.
We’re all different people now.
At least one of us will have a degree that matters.
You need to start talking before our baby does.
The protagonist is not Aria. We never meade it past Philly.
I think it’s fate. People who were meant to be together take a break and find a way back to their first love.
We graduated and we grew up.

I tried to do a lot, and I still have to review so many episodes! Good thing I have 7 shifts this week, so part 2 tomorrow.

Greys 12.09

This episode wasn’t exactly necessary. Meredith has been through enough. I was really scared Shonda would make an SVU episode out of it, but thank god, knock on wood she didn’t think of that. But you have to admit, that opening narration did suggest it. Zola was being a little brat and I felt so sorry for Mer when the kids didn’t wanna see her. Alex was either crying or about to cry through the whole episode, which is exactly how every fan of the show felt. Ellen crushed it, her performance was incredible this week. I honesntly couldn’t even look at the screen, because of her pain was just too hurting.

Or the silence will kill you.

10/10

Shameless 6.01

Shameless is back! Who else is really happy? How are you liking this season? I think it’s a little weaker one. And what happened to Deb? Why does she insist on having that kid? She was supposed to be the one Gallagher that actually accomplishes something. And now it looks like it’s gonna be Lip.

It’s the ghetto. Lots of noises in the ghetto.
That Turkish idiot.
You’re pregnant.
I’m I’m late for work, and you all look like you haven’t had gainful employment for decades, so if you don’t mind, I’ll just, um Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
Well, Jesus freaking Chr If a man can’t find a little comfort from the Catholic Church, maybe it’s time to admit Martin Luther had a point.
Let’s give the Lutherans a try.
What could you possibly have to confess? Your cooch dried up before Nixon went to China.
Guess our reputation as a shithole still stands.
Lots of kids have to take it up the ass to survive?
He set his dad on fire.
We’d like to talk to you about the baby.
What else did I miss?

7.5/10

Castle 7.09

Finally a Martha episode, they don’t show her often enough. A Pitch Perfect kind of episode with accapella groups. I like how protective Espo and Ryan are of Beckett. I know that Swetlana is one of the most common Russian names, but I hoped Castle would reference Shameless.

Castle, we talked about this! You can’t be here!
Castle, what’s the 911?!
Or someone! You cheat on her. You cheat on us!
He told us about Swetlana.
I only have one specialty, performance.
We still like Martha.

7.5/10

The Middle 7.11

Sue wants to join a sorority, but as always, no one wants her. She finds her first college friend in the process. We rewatched the episode where Sue spends the whole day in the sun holding her hand on the car to win it. And even though she wins, she doesn’t get the car, as it’s another Frankie’s ex boss’s scam, and she wins a trip to Disney World instead. Sue is not crashed at all. My dad said this is exactly what we should do with our lives. Strive to be this happy. Mike being clueless about Twitter, is just like my dad is with the computer.

Angelina Jolie was never in a sorority.
Like murder mystery with poop.
You seem like you’re really into being happy.
I can call them myself, you just need to tell me who sets it up.
What would the call time be like.
Is this what rejection is?
Yep. Luckily you’re with a pro.

8.5/10

The Middle 7.12

Sue just isn’t fit for critical thinking. Brick imitating Mike with ‘Why I I I’

Why’d you come to college?
Because I graduated high school.
But I’m not a critical person.
When mom flirted with that bag boy, I got his name and his Wallmart ID number.
You and Axl are pretty much the same person.
You and Axl are the drama queens of our house

6/10

The Good Wife 7.11

Yes, The Good Wife is ending with this season. Are we sad? Not really as the last two season weren’t interesting at all. I mean they tried to make Peter a president, what? I’ll miss Eli, that’s for sure. Everyone else, not so much. The show isn’t addictive. You can’t obsess over it like some other dramas, so sure I’ll miss it, but it won’t be a struggle, like with so many other shows, Private Practice, Dexter, The Big C, Desperate Housewives or even Lost to name a few. I thought of another Sunday show today, Revenge, as I was watching The Middle and Axl mentioned it a couple of times. There are 8 more episodes, so don’t worry we’ll get to say goodbye. Episode nine was probably this season’s weakest.

Alicia broke all the plates and wears sunglasses all episode.

I would have said yes.
There was a young man in love with me.
I would go back to Criminal Law 101.
Your sister is Grace?
She likes you.Peter’s not number one. She is.

How To Get Away With Murder 2.10

Wes would have never got into Annalise’s class if she didn’t know his mom! Also, Annalise had a baby? Did she give it up for adoption?

Hurry, before Bonnie gets back.
You’d fall apart if they blamed him for this
Don’t make things up.
They’re my records. They should be gay.
You all belong in hell.
She didn’t do it.
She just broke priveledge.
I shot Annalise Keating.
I was drugged by Philip Jessup.
You wanted to die that night.
You knew I wouldn’t let you do it if I was there.
We didn’t call Asher that night. None of us had his number. If we did none of that would have happened.
I get it now. Why my mom did it.
You knew my mother, didn’t you?
You knew her. That’s why I’m here. Why I got in from the waitlist.
He’s adorable.
I think you’ve ruined me. Get out!

10/10

Younger 2.01

From what we’ve noticed so far, Layla’s daughter is annoying. Diana chipped her tooth.

3.5/10

Younger 2.02

How come every time I see you, you look younger.
You know who I really am. And that’s too much, or too little.
We’re gonna be 26 year old bosses!

5/10

Younger 2.07

I got a 40year old shoulder when putting on my backpack the next day I watched this episode.

I think there’s a pattern.
They also called it a 40 year old shoulder.
He was up everyone’s ass.
I fell of the eliptical this morning.
All we need is one chapter.
30? Who are you kidding?
Bitch, there is no book!
As long as the check clears, I’m good.

6.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.11

They moved 5 years forward, to avoid them being separated. This way it’s much easier to put them all in one place. The first episode after 5 years ended just like the pilot did., with a funeral.

We’re the brotherhood of ex-boyfriends.
We have scars to prove it.
Everywhere she went it was like she saw something she wanted to forget.
I couldn’t see the point to it. To college. To anything.
N0. I would not feel safe.

7/10

The Simpsons 27.11

This is what happens when you buy cheap food, maybe not that fast, but since when does cheap mean good.

I’m tired of my son having a mustache like a pool boy.
She’s never seen an episode of Friends.
Even The one with…
No.

5/10

The Simpsons 27.12

The Simpsons isn’t really that funny this season.

Swipe left on that accusation.

All the remaining episodes are here, now back to weekly tv reviews and film reviews too.  Expect the next post next Saturday, now enjoy!

Greys 12.06

How are we supposed to like Derek’s killer. I hope they’re not gonna make her a series regular. She killed Derek and now she took Arizona’s place.

And you didn’t find that reason enough?
Is there any part of this job that you can handle?
I’m talking to Derek.
And you came in. The spitting image of your mother.

6/10

Greys 12.07

I can’t believe the finale is next week. And yet another 4 month break. This episode they did a skull transplant. Webber being Arizona’s wing man was almost as good as the elevator scene, where Mer told the new McDreamy that her story is too long to tell and when she told Owen she promised Cristina she wouldn’t let him go all dark and twisty. Also Maggie explaining racism and white privelege to Amelia.

Wilson, I have three kids. Three. Do you know how little sleep I get?
Are any interns interning at the lesbian bar?
I wanted to punch her in the face.
Guess where I’m from.
Australia.
Wrong, New Zealand.
I made a promise to Cristina that I wouldn’t let you go all dark and twisty.Just tell me. Do we hate him?
We hate him.
And they’re telling me they’re not boarding coach yet.
Your name is on all the walls. What’s the story there.
It’s too long to tell.
So you wanna grab a drink?
I’m a friend of Owen Hunt’s, so no.

10/10

SVU 17.07

Right on top of my notes it says, ‘The pastor, right?’ and indeed that was the case. One of the best episodes this season, but I really thought brother was the rapist just like in the Dugglars’ case.

I had sexual activity.
You didn’t to anything wrong. You’re still a good person.
That’s what he told me.
How about you write it down?
These issues don’t just go away.
He got her other sister pregnant.
I’ve been binge watching this show.
I’m usually right.
Rollins, you’re alright?
I really screwed up. I won’t be able to do this.
We’ve got family, camera crew, and that pastor.
He gets them away from home.
Married?! She’s 13!
She’s legal.
He is Tate’s baby’s father and I believe the other child’s too.
You need to stop talking to her.
He told me that’s what people in love do.
I want him put away!
Most rapists don’t hunt on the streets, they hunt where they’re trusted.

10/10

Downton Abbey 6.06

I’ll miss this show dearly. It still does not register it’s ending.

Matthew died in a car crash.
Marigold is sweet but why would any man take her on. She’s so stupid to have settled herself with a child.
Could this be love?
Oh shut up.
Shouldn’t we shake out his pockets?
Have you found anyone to hit with it yet?
If I had it my way, I would have hit a lot of them.
No you may not.
My word is still not good enough after all these years.

10/10

Downton Abbey 6.07

So happy for Mr Moseley! Now I just hope he marries Miss Baxter in the Christmas Special.

This is the first place that I’ve laid down some roots.
Nobody is always friendly.
I’ll be very glad If you’ve joined the teaching staff at the village school.
Well done, Mr Moseley.
I can’t give you up.
You will be hurt again, but that is not the reason to give up on the man who is right for you.
What’s so funny?
Just life, Mr Carlson, just life.

8.5/10

Downton Abbey 6.08

Beautiful finale, but they should have went deeper into Thomas’s suicide attempt. I know he’s just the help, but It would be nice to see the emotional fallout. I hope Barrow will be Little Goerge’s Carlson. Sprout will write to Edith’s magazine, under a female nickname. Can’t wait for the Christmas episode.

A house of its repute.
Edith would outrank us all.
She’s quite handful.
You ruined Edith’s life today.
Mrs Pattmore has been loyal to this house and now this house has to be loyal to her.
He said he hoped I made more of myself.
Barrow slit his wrists?
Thomas has cut his wrists.
Do you still think dismissing Barrow was a useful saving, Papa?
And Barrow tries to end his.
Tom says he is in love with you and you’re in love with him.
I can’t be a crash widow again.
Sprout?
I’ll be best man at both of your weddings.

10/10

The Good Wife 7.05

Oh Howard. I haven’t seen him represent one client over the last 7 years, but okay.

I’m doing it alphabetically.
That’s convenient.That’s code for old. That’s code for Jewish.
Old fart. Gargoil.
I call Diane Lockhart to the stand.
I see you’re running an adult day care now.

7.5/10

The Good Wife 7.06

She’s black. She suffered. Like my people.

3.5/10

Scream Queens 1.06

Funny and I don’t get all these stuck up people who think this is crap. Every time they reference The Silence of the Lambs, The Shining or Texas Chainsaw Massacre my day gets a little better.

We have gathered here today because a backstabbing little bitch got exactly what was coming for her.
Like a bunch of hobbos.
This dumb dead bitch.
Have fun being dead.
Will you please go kill some people?
Are you having sex with a goat.
Cops finger Dean Munch.
You wanna play quid quo pro Clarice?
It’s a lawsuit.
No, hooker.
For saying Chad was having sex with a goat.
Liquid laxative.
To young girls getting what’s coming to them.

7.5/10

Nashville 4.07

Jeff is dead and they’re having a concert and Scarlett cut her hair. One of the best episodes this season. Julliette finally asked for help and got sent to a rehab centre.

10/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.07

Bonnie’s past and Asher covering up rape is all I care about this season. Is Annalise Wes’s mother? Is that what they’re tryng to say? Is that why he got added to the program from the waitlist? Was Annalise checking all her potential students and then saw him and added him from the waitlist. What are the chances that a son would follow his mother’s footsteps without knowing anything about her? Also, the lady who committed suicide was not his biological mom. Are they saying Annalise got pregnant from rape when she was a little girl?

She’s blafing, you idiot.
Who is she? You’re blushing!
Cause I get to see you again.
We run off together.
Four guys took one girl upstairs so don’t you dare say you didn’t know what they were going to do to her.
She went to a party and her life changed forever.
You just keep on being you.I can’t look at you the same anymore.
She told you, didn’t she?
That’s no problem, I’ve got Sam’s money.
He’s not just some student, that’s him.
You exposed me!

10/10

How to Get Away With Murder 2.08

Get on board or you’re the next dead body out there.
Bonnie crying in the shower.
Stop. Call it in.
Bonnie would have already been at the lab.
I need you to be my new Bonnie.
Sinclair has been tapping our house!
Maybe Mr Millstone should be my new Frank.
Speak.
Another one for Mr Millstone.
Miss Castillo could be me one day.
He’s a part of an incest. And she only had one brother.

7.5/10

Scandal 5.07

SVU case. Bill Cosby case.

To tell the president he just hang a medal on a rapist.
The fact that you rape women.
You knew? Did you give him the drugs because you knew what he would do with them?
So if he rapes a few, then it doesn’t matter.
Liz is gonna be the vicepresident’s chief of staff.
He’s not the President anymore. You are.

7/10

Scandal 5.08

First he leaves Mellie, now Liv.

Kill me now.
Olivia is judge, jury and executioner.
Helen of Troy.
I’ve read it throughly.

5/10

Bones 11.05

What is it with Bones this season!?

It tastes like metal.

1/10

Bones 11.06

And I thought it couldn’t get worse than last week.

Same as with Bones, what the hell is going on?

Hi guys. I know I haven’t been reviewing films, (or writing proper reviews of shows either) since summer, but I will once the year ends. I have seen 253 films this year, and I want to make it to 300 by 2016. Here are some reviews I had time to rewrite today, some are missing, but will get posted on the weekend.

Greys 12.05

Oh the ugly dinner. Why are we keeping Derek’s killer on? And the bitch had the audacity to come back and pee in Mer’s bathroom. Shonda is making such a mistake hiring her. Best episode this season.

I like the whole where the wall was.
You’re smiling, like you’re in a hostage video.I like drunk Robbins.
Calliope. I used to call her that.
She’s going to join the program at Grey Sloan Memorial.
It’s where Derek died.
Perfect Penny killed my husband.
Derek was my brother.
Penny killed Derek.
Meredith said she killed him.
Penny was just going to tell me how my brother died.
So tell us how. I wanna know what happened. Tell me what happened.
Tell me the rest. Tell me all of it.
Did he say anything to you before you killed him?
Get her out of my house!
We’ll fire that bitch.
She killed Derek.
You should have told me.
Get her out of here before I kill her

10/10

SVU 17.06

Amanda’s sister is now a hooker. When she said ‘you were raped on the job’ I wished I could punch her through my screen. She never would have been raped if she didn’t have to protect your stupid ass. Also their mother is not much better as it turns out with her ‘maybe by then you’ll learn the value of family’. Important to point out: Kimmy convincing their mother it’s her agent calling her not her pimp. The new sergant is annoying and does not know anything.

No, that could be DNA.
What happens at SVU, stays at SVU.
Help Amanda and her baby.
You were raped on the job.

10/10

SVU 17.08

The new seargant is clearly not SVU material. He messes every case up and doubts Liv all the time! Come on, Liv knows what she’s doing!

He’s successful.
For your facebook page?
Its for Rollins. She’s gonna be pissed she missed it.

4/10

Downton Abbey 7.05

You’ve read too many novels, you’ve seen too many movies.

8/10

Switched at Birth 4.19

Do I really want to work for free?
Who cares what your mom does for a living?
Who said they need to be fixed.
What’s wrong with being abnormal.
Why is it that you tell her everything?
You chose her. Like always. Right now it feels like the last 4 years never happened.
You’re taking my job?

7/10

Switched at Birth 4.20

John being jealous and being mad at Katherine for wearing a tight but not so revealing dress. 10 months later Bay is a tattoo artist. And the last line that reminded me of Lost, ‘we have to go back’. I am said the second halfof season 4 flew by so quickly. I know I would have appreciated this show more If they played it as always, during summer, so no other shows get in the way. And I’m disapointed, as it may mean that we won’t get new episodes in January, but March or something.

You’ve got to let her go.
Your boyfriend payed 400 for the night.
In that dress.
You will be the artist you want to be, someday.
Go on your own.
I’m gonna do that.
But it gets better. I promise.
You should come with me.
To China?
You’ll bring your sketchbook. Get inspired.
The Switchters.
He’s perfect. He’s absolutely perfect.
Look at us honey, we are grandparents.
Carlton now. Carlton forever.
10 months later.

9.5/10

Bones 11.04

Booth stresses over Bones killing off a characted based on him.

You can’t kill Agent Andy. He’s based on me.
Thanks for the spoiler alert.
He’s easily replaceable. Just like agent Andy.
You’re killing Agent Andy? But he’s your husband.

4/10

Castle 8.05

Who knows, you guys. All Castle cases are the same.

6/10

Grandfathered 1.05

Gerald (Son).
Move the freaking car, man!
I think Vanessa has the car situation handled.
He was blasting Taylor Swift.
She was crying. He was loving it.

3.5/10

Grandfathered 1.06

You’re taking advice from a prepubescent kid.
Hacking into your mainstream.
That woman who tamed George Clooney.
And you are attractive.
I already told everyone in the bus over here.
Fake enthusiasm.
I’m binging on ice cream.
That’s not ice cream.
My sweat is staining up my shirt.
Are you using me for shade.
You were blessed with a big head, share your gift.
It’s locked it’s locked it’s a push.
I don’t play baseball. Did you bring it from your house.
My Amal is out there somewhere.

7/10

Nashville 4.03

Deacon’s sister dies.

3/10

Nashville 4.04

Yes idiot. I know.
I’m upset because I can’t be the way I am with you around people.
If I didn’t work with people with complicated lives, there would be no one to write with.

5/10

Nashville 4.05

Maddie sang with Juliette and lost her virginity to Colton all in one episode.

5/10

Nashville 4.06

Why is Dean’s sister from Gilmore Girls being a dumb groupie? Maddie is acting out. I guess they had to kill Jeff off as he joined Scream Queens.

What you wear what song you choose leaves a mark about who you are as an artist and as a person.
What is it, drugs, booze?
You are so talented.
You’re practically her father.
She was a born performer.
I would like to sing you one of her songs. She used to close every show with that song.

7/10

Scream Queens 1.05

I’m gonna look like a skinnier Angelina Jolie.
Someone always goes lesbian.
It’s super weird that you sleep with so many old people.
A panic room. Jodie Foster’s was small and gross.
I’m about to get murdered.
The only thing we can do is watch him die.
There wa snever any food in there. Just laxatives.
You and I are gonna outlive that nerd.
Thank you for making that announcement that no one cares about.
What a great way to pretend all those people we knew were not brutally murdered.

7.5/10

Scream Queens 1.07

I love Jamie Lee Curtis in this, but I do love her in everything.

And i do best to try to pretend I listen.
I saw that movie 50 times.
Just cause some damn hoe got murdered in it.
You know a woman’s face was burned with it?
We dont really eat around here.
This university can survive a series of killings.
You know why I never went into therapy? Beause the less we know about ourselves, the better.
Two babies?
That unusually weird girl with weird candle fetish.
You toothless inbreds.
Stupid foreign assholes.
Grace is the killer and this thing proves it.
You can stop killing everybody.
Why are you the same size as a 40 year old woman.
We all have mommy issues.

7.5/10

The Leftovers 2.03

Amy Brenneman centric episode. Finally. Laurie ran off some Guilty Remnants, and broke into some people’s house to get her laptop back from a kid.

I just need a file off that laptop.

7/10

The Leftovers 2.04

Evangeline as in Evangeline Lilly. Nice touch Lindeldolf.

Did it happen again? Are the people gone? Are they gone?
And then there are people who really wanna fucking die.

6/10

The Leftovers 2.05

Definitely my favorite episode this season, with Matt not being able to go back to Miracle and signing himself up for public punishment, by ‘carrying a cross’ just like Jesus did.

We live here.
I wanna free him. Because it’s my turn.

9.5/10

The Leftovers 2.06

Why so little Amy Brenneman this season? We’re halfway through and she’s been in 2 episodes.

Did you touch her that day?
Yeah its called lensing.
Because we asked them for help and they banished your brother.
I’m a lens?
Yes.
Demon has chosen you.
Say it again and say it slow.
It’s Laurie Garvey.

3.5/10

Scandal 5.05

Weirdos, focus.
A criminal, a whore, and idiot and a liar.
You fired Elizabeth?

6/10

Scandal 5.06

I don’t recall.
Olivia Pope’s band of lawbreakers.
Harrison Wright.
We’re all going to hell.
I didn’t say kill, you really have to let that go.
How sick is this. How sick are you?
He killed your son. My father killed your son.
Please hold for senator Grant.
You are my freedom.
You are going to make me the President of the United States.

10/10

The Good Wife 7.04

This is not To Kill a Mockingbird or Anatomy of a Murder.

6.5/10

The Simpsons 27.04

My friend actually did this, asked the police if he has the right to restrain a guy who attacked him a few days prior.

24 years trying to kill a 10-year-old boy.
Let’s move on to the next suspect.
Yes, there are intruders in my basement. Do I have the right to shoot.

3.5/10

The Simpsons 27.05

You gave money to this idiot?
Homer something.
You got into a fight with her because she wanted to give you a bike?

3.5/10

Faking It 2.20

What an awful finale, remember how good the season one finale was or the first half of season 2? When Amy told Karma about her feelings? Lauren can’t leave to Texas, she’s probably my favorite character, with her constant ‘What the fuck is this?’

You can tell me that kiss meant something.
I can’t.

Here are some quick October reviews. Look out for the remaining 15 episodes this Thursday.

Greys 12.04

Derek’s killer is Callie’s new girlfriend.

Who screws the interns?
The father of my children.
I’m a widow, I’m dead inside. I’m widow Grey, I’m all okay.
Yours is the face they will remember for the rest of their lives.
I’ve had that great amazing love.

9.5/10

Downton Abbey 7.04

Robert better not die. This is not Parenthood. Moseley and Baxter better end up together, and they better show us. Rose came back and acted weirdly. The writers need to understand that none of us cares about the hospital.

Trying to get through life the best that we can.
And you’re wrong about me, I mind what people say.
But he hasn’t ruined you, has he? And the proof is you’re standing here.

10/10

Castle 8.04

As I asked myself where the f do I recognise this guy from It got to me that it’s Gabby’s pervy stepfather from Desperate Housewives.

No, no. Well, yes, yes.
Pathological liars anonymous.
The blind priest just ran away.

6/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.04

This season seems much less planned out.

Do you actually think that murdering someone is not a big deal?
I think about it a lot. Killing myself. Have been since I was a child.
If I don’t deserve to die, than you definitely don’t.
Let’s all find a cliff and go out in style.

4/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.05

We finally got Bonnie’s back story and it was painful, and the show is finally getting more valuable again.

I found Wes and Nate last night?
Screwing?
That man is her father.

1.5/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.06

I see what you’re saying, Asher is dating Bonnie who as a child was sexually abused by her father. Asher on the other hand gang raped a girl as a teenager. This is good. Who cares about all the other storylines this season, none of them are worth our time.

Contamination the crime scene. Let’s make a note of this officer not wearing gloves.
Tiffany was gang raped.

3.5/10

Grandfathered 1.03

Paget’s character reminds me of me a little more each week.

The age I lost my virginity. 13.
Thanks to you he’s one step away from being Norman Bates.
Mother in Parenthood.
Which Friends character are you?Come on, I’m Monica!
You delay, delay, delay and suddenly it’s too late.
What’s this, a cheesy rom com.

4.5/10

Grandfathered 1.04

Come on, Stamos you do know who Big Bird is, remember how obsessed Michelle was with him on Full House? Posting fake reviews and lying about leaving home on point. Other than that, weakest episode of the season.

Anonymous 2023.
Almost there. Traffic is awful.

2/10

The Good Wife 7.02

Jeffrey Dean Morgan joins the cast! An SVU case about mom taking naked pictures of their kids and selling them as art.

Have you seen the movie It Follows?
That’s when I got my first email from a pedophile.
After I came back from school, these men would wait for me.

8/10

The Good Wife 7.03

Grace working as Alicia’s assistant/secretary is my new favorite thing about the show. Interns caring about their boyfriends was hilarious too. Don’t go to law school if you want a normal life, simple as that.

Do these new summer interns seem less concerned to you? They worry about their boyfriends and having easier work days.

10/10

Scandal 5.03

How can Fitz still treat Mellie like crap?

Shut it down or get fired, people.
We’re running, people.

10/10

Scandal 5.04

Quinn has recruited a new gladiator.

Gladiators don’t ask questions.

2/10

The Leftovers 2.02

What is it with this season? Pure boredom. Miss Patty and where the heck is Amy Brenneman? So Kevin is a part of rapture number 2?

1.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.18

Were we supposed to be surprised that Daphne’s tutor was gay? Wasn’t that obvious? A very weak episode.

2.5/10

Faking It 2.19

Karma is just jealous that Amy does not pay attention to her anymore that she may actually try to be with her for a while, ruining Amy’s feelings.

The real you is so fantastic.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started in 2010 as weekly reviews of 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, mostly thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd.

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

About the Author

All I do is watch movies, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes I make my own.

Check out my latest film (120K+ views on Youtube):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3Iz23hD7M

I’ve seen over 6000 films and 220 TV shows. I have a degree in Film Production, and wrote my dissertation on Italian neorealism. I mostly gravitate towards social issues films, anything Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica or Jafar Panahi, etc.

I rate films within genre. I watch a lot of films on Mubi, Filmbox Arthouse. My favourite directors are Yasujiro Ozu, Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Zhang Yimou, Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, Brian De Palma, Vittorio De Sica and Andrzej Wajda. My favourite actresses have always been Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. I’m at the cinema 10 times a month. And I’m a Polish-British millennial.

I will watch anything:

psychological | arthouse | foreign | independent | drama | horror | lgbt | strong female characters | female centred films | dysfunctional families | sexual assault | troubled childhood | mental health issues

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

favourite film and tv quotes

‘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)

‘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)

‘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)

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

‘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)

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

‘There comes a moment when our lives change forever. The moment we admit our weaknesses, the moment we rise to a challenge, the moment we accept a sacrifice, or let a loved one go. And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Yesterday I went to the movies all day by myself. One after the other. I’ve never done that before. I had a really happy day.’ (Doing Time for Patsy Cline)

‘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)

‘Bree sobbed quietly in the restroom for five miutes, but her husband never knew, because when Bree finally emerged, she was perfect.’ (Desperate Housewives)

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

‘I don’t love him.’
‘Of course you do.’
‘No!’
‘Don’t take me for a fool Olive,  I’m many things but I’m not a fool.’
‘I know that, you’re brilliant.’
‘Don’t you see, it’s over. Whatever this is, was, it’s over.’
‘I love You.’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

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

‘Many years ago, a neighbour and a good friend of ours took her life, and that left us all heartbroken and perplexed. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room, I forget about all the pain that she caused. In those awful moments, I thought maybe she had the answer.‘ (Desperate Housewives)

‘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)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘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)
