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

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

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

Below are the 50 TV shows I followed this year:

1. Grey’s Anatomy

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

2. SVU

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

3. Shameless

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

4. Fuller House

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

5. Carol’s Second Act

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

6. American Horror Story

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

7. Crikey it’s the Irwins

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

8. Orange is the New Black

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

9. When Calls the Heart

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

10. Station 19

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

11. The Handmaid’s Tale

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

12. One Day At a Time

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

13. The Insatiable

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

14. The Unbelievable

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

15. Big Little Lies

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

16. Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath

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

17. The Goldbergs

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

18. Schooled

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

19. How to Get Away with Murder

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

20. Killing Eve

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

21. Ozark

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

22. Good Girls

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

23. Thirteen Reasons Why

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

24. This is Us

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

25. 911

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

26. The Resident

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

27. Modern Family

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

28. For the People

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

29. Chernobyl

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

30. Riverdale

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

31. The Simpsons

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

32. The Good Fight

I still haven’t caught up.

33. The Good Place

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

34. Veronica Mars

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

35. Absentia

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

36. F For Family

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

37. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

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

38. Divorce

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

39. Younger

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

40. When They See Us

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

41. Looking For Alaska

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

42. Dead to Me

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

43. Soundtrack

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

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

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

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

‘Every song is a love song’.

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

44. The Politician

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

45. The Act

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

46. The Morning Show

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

47. The Society

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

48. Light as a Feather

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

49. Grace and Frankie

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

50. The Loudest Voice

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

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

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

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

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

Have a wonderful 2020!

SVU 18.07

Olivia saves Carissi’s life and Tucker tells Olivia he plans to retire. SVU’s social media account sure gave us a scare with the whole Olivia retiring rumor. Boy was that a fright. For the first time since season 15 we’ve had an episode that wasn’t haunting or a bit exceptional.

It changes you for the worse, not the better.
Who are you and what have you done with Carissi? You really feel that way? The job doesn’t change you, it makes you more of who you really are.
It’s okay. It’s completely normal.
Not in a creepy way.
There’s no other way to stalk someone.
Yeah, this is detective Amanda Rollins NYPD SVU.
This is not your fault.
They’re predators. They look for light, they look fo goodness and try to steal it.
Being a cop didn’t change him. He was always bad.
Hope this does not make you want to retire.
No, the exact opposite.

7/10

The Middle 8.10

The Hecks go to an escape room and they try their best to beat the Donaghue’s high score. I rated it as 3.5, which officially makes it the weakest episode of The Middle.

We’ve finally given up.
We ate pop tarts, because we like to support American businesses.
That’s what’s great about you Hecks, you have fun no matter what!
Dreaming is just showing off while you’re asleep.
We beat the Donoghues!
What do you mean how was my day?! We beat the Donoghues! It was a great day!

3.5/10

Nashville 5.01

Juliette survives the plane crash and Rayna has PTSD after Juliette’s flying experience and decides to take a road trip back home to Nashville. We will probably never see Lyla again, and Rayna has realised that she failed as a producer, but she cannot produce her own music as she doesn’t feel she has anything left to say. It was the most wonderful 43 minutes we could ask for and I’m glad we brought the show back! I just loved how the petrol guy reacted to seeing Rayna. The heart-breaking scene between Rayna and the blind older man asking her if she sings in the shower was just ah, wonderful.

Oh sweet Jesus, there’s bodies, there’s two, three.
Fill it up m’am? Can I get your autograph miss James?
They found the plane 20 miles from here.
This was the plane Juliette Barnes was flying from Los Angeles.
Are you okay, Miss James?
I’m not recording anymore because I don’t have anything to say.
I’ve worked so hard to keep my label afloat, I forgot who I am as an artist.
You know how many times I’ve been stuck and then saved by somebody who at that moment could see stuff I couldn’t see.
How do you know the words.
I listened.
Don’t care for singing?
I sing a little bit.
Yeah, in shower?
You should let yourself sing.
Why’d you say that?

10/10

The Goldbergs 4.11

The episode revolves around pervy boys tormenting a girl about boobs and the Dead Poets Society and it’s incredible! And even though we knew that Barry would become a doctor, it was revealed it in this episode, they still pretend Murray is a furniture salesman, not a doctor, but I guess that was a successful attempt at making the show be more relatable. I almost wrote a shoe salesman, as I’ve been watching Married with Children reruns every day. We haven’t had The Goldbergs in two weeks and I’m already having withdrawals!

This movie proves that a sub is the most important person in a child’s life!
Female reproductive system. And out. Class dismissed.
I used to eat lunch at school bathroom.
In that moment I finally saw how hard it was for Emmy and I knew exactly what to do.
Growing up is an awkward adventure.
I’m your big sis, that’s what I’m here for.
Beverly Goldberg believed in you this whole time.

10/10

Scream Queens 2.10

I know season two sucked and almost no one watched it, but I still sort of want season 3. I will miss seeing Jamie Lee on the small screen. And even though I can’t stand Channel, it was nice to see Emma Roberts on a weekly basis again.

Oh my god, Channels are impossible to kill. It’s like their stupidity and narcissism is a protective shield.
Hester, you should have warned us.
Collateral damage.
Survival is about being skinny, pretty and ruthless.
Rich again.
You be you, America, cause Channel Oberlin is gonna be me.

Didn’t you just love season two of Fuller House?! Expect a post on it very soon. I haven’t posted for two weeks, because I have been too tired from crying over Gilmore Girls. If you want to see my review, check my previous post.

The Middle 8.05

Sue chooses a quite shocking major that made me think of Lorelai Gilmore the minute she said it. Mike beautifully explains to her she needs a good job to avoid the Heck lifestyle and Brick learns how to drive and hits the Orson cow with Axl’ RV.

Anything I should know?
The Lord’s prayer.
I am 15.
I thought you were 12.
Uh! Astronomy!
Should we be concerned about how much we hide from our kids?
Theatre Where’s the future in that?! She’s not good!
Veterinary school? That’s harder to get into than med school!
I’m thinking of adding Criminal Justice as one of my majors.
There’s no inheritance, so you need a job that pays well. You can’t just sign up for everything that looks fun.
The only reason you’re still in school is that Dad sold his half of the diaper business.
If you start digging around this yard in 5 minutes you’ll hit a report card.
I need to pick one major, so tell me what you want me to do and I’ll do it.
What? I’m not gonna do that.
You were never supposed to know. I just didn’t think you had to worry about that.
I don’t want you to be on the first name basis with an operator from the gas company. Even though Joyce is very nice and lets us spread the bill over three credit cards. I don’t want you to have to share a battery between two cars. I don’t want you to hope for a tornado to bring your next appliance. I’m not trying to scare you kid, but it’s hard sometimes living like we do. And what I hope for you is just that it can be different.

10/10


The Middle 8.06

The Hecks eat Nancy’s Thanksgiving food and the episode is hilarious as always.

Other people watch you like a pig, cause you got three scoops.
When Cindy doesn’t get what she wants, Brick doesn’t get what he wants. Reading time.
I didn’t recognize you in youre uniform. Thank you for your service.
No, I don’t have a middle name. Except for Rose.
She’s losing memory, so It’s important we see her.
Or you could just tell her you saw her.
I don’t like her either. Cindy said she could not get a conversation going with her, and Cindy can talk to anybody!
Because I’m responsible for you.
I never want you to stop looking out for me.
So she’s not even related?
Oh no she is to somebody, but not actually to us.
And by the way, not a good babysitte, cause she obviously dropped April on her head a few times!
Try a few hundread times!
Thank you Lord, for the Hecks. The best neighboors in the world.

How To Get Away With Murder 3.09

I was surprised to see who died. He’s the main character! Bonnie and Annalise almost hooked up and Olly knows about the night of Sam Keating’s disappearance. Police finally finds Rebecca’s body and Wes learns she was murdered.

Junk food is all I’m doing.
I wasn’t high, I was traumatised.
Traumatised from what?
Like you don’t already know.
Social services rescued me and I sescued myself.
You’re fired. Did you not hear me?
You’re the problem with the gay community.
We’re all the problem with the gay community.
Bonnie, who is it?
It’s Wes.
Middleton student identified as fire victim.

10/10


SVU 18.06

Hands down worst episode of SVU ever. They wanted to make another transgender-centred episode and they screwed it up big time, as we were presented with a extremely boring script. Read these to see the only good things about this episode.

Can’t people yse the bathroom they were born to use? Is that really so damn hard?
He thinks that because he’s in love with a transgender woman that he’s gay.
Three lives destroyed all because a woman named Eva was born a boy.
He killed a woman of your dreams.
The single just hit number one. That’s all that really matters.

3.5/10


The Goldbergs 4.07

The fourth Thanksgiving at The Goldbergs was just plain bad.

Everyone, come back! It’s fucking thanksgiving!

2/10


American Horror Story 6.10

Who wasn’t dissapointed with the Lana Winters link or camoeo? The finale to the Ranoke season. I didn’t exactly enjoy it, but the same can be said about the whole season. I hope you understand, that I could’t give it a 10.

Are you sure, it’s not me you love.
But they did die, didn’t they?
Welcome to the Lana Winters special.
You turned everyone else down. Because of you, because of who you are and what you’ve been through. I mean, Jesus. You killed your own son, Bloody Face.
I killed a psychopathic murderer before he could kill me.
Where is she, she was reported missing by her grandparents an hour before we went on the air.
She talks to much.
Sydney didn’t ask me to participate, and as it turns out, fortunately so.
Are you people crazy enough to be shooting another show here?
Lea Harris showed up in the middle of the night.
You stupid fucks, you deserve to die.
Not if Precila ddid to me what you wnat her to do to you.

9.5/10


Younger 3.06

Such a funny episode, more of them I beg of you!

My one desire is to service Charles.
We’re all beginning for more cock.
Look, Nancy Drew and leggier Nancy Drew.
It started as a writing exercise.
She’s someone in the Empirical family, we don’t want her making a relationship with another publisher.
Make the offer, we have to keep him in in the house.
That was a big safe, Liza.

Younger 3.07

As above, good episode.

It’s difficult to keep a secret, especially when you pretend to be someone else in order to be taken seriously in your profession.
It gets better.
That’s what they say to kids who are severely bullied.
He’s flirting with you through The New Yorker.

5.5/10


Younger 3.08

What a great episode, first one this season! Liza gets hit by a car while trying to return Diana’s city bike and Charles almost saw Liza’s real date of birth on her hospital wristband.

In my experience sex can be nothing and a kiss can mean a lot.
I had to buy extra storage on my Dropbox judt to open te file.
Your bike has been in an accident.
The one they gave me is wearing off. I think they didn’t account for my height.
I’m fine.
The bike is not FYI.
That should have been Becky.
Diana alerted the Empirical legal team and they alerted me.

8.5/10


Scream Queens 2.05

Funny, and overall good, everyone speaks with different accents, possibly the best this season. Why oh why did Jamie Lee say Freddy Krueger instead of Michael Myers?

For the love of God, number 5. Denise is dead could you maybe let us have two minutes that aren’t about you?
I finally  know what it felt like to be Freddy Krueger.
Hello non-doctor idiots. Sorry to interrupt your hard work cleaning bedpans, the only thing you’re qualified at any hospital on planet earth. Sorry, doctor tiny bitch.
These bed pans can wait till we find some less attractive people to clean them.
I’m pretty sure I ordered codde?
You didn’t order anything, this isn’t a restaurant.

9/10


Scream Queens 2.06

There are 3 Green Meanies!?

We’ve lost a lot of blood, so donate yours.
I’m sorry I haven’t welcomed you properly, by having sex with you.
And she’s a serial killer.
She’s a what?!

I just realized that most of the shows will go on their Christmas hiatus in two or three weeks, so I better catch up with my reviews. Posting a few today and then I’m off to watch new Greys. Expect a massive post tomorrow.

Shameless 7.02

Shameless was just added on Netflix UK! In the newest episode Frank disinherits the whole family and all of the kids are actually relieved. Also, Frank washing himself up in the toilet.

I’m filling out the paperwork to disinherit you, abortion should have beens.
I’m chaning her name to Harriet. Harry.
That’s a perfect name for the diesel dyke she’s going to grow up to some day.
Tough titties.
I’m the only woman of color and I’ll sue your ass.
Excuse me, I saw your help wanted sign?
Hey Olga, you’re fired.
Don’t be corrupting my son with your interracial bisexual funny business.
That’s okay. You don’t have to go to college.

10/10


Shameless 7.03

Frank found himself a new family. Debbie continues to steal. Fiona has an amazing monologue on how she still can make something of herself after she inspired by a millionaire high school dropout.

Welcome, new Gallaghers.
He sold her into sex slavery.
I got some money. I took it from teacher’s purse.
That’s the new Fiona.
You’d call the cops?! What kind of a Gallagher are you?
She’s retarded.
Who gave you the right to occupy these premises?
Statue of Liberty when she said come the homeless and Jesus Christ when he washed the feet of the homeless and gave them wine.
Are those Greek letters on this motherfucking house?
I am just as likely as anyone else in this family to make something of myself and it’s about time you got that you arrogant shit.

9/10


The Goldbergs 4.05

Beverly summing up exactly what the show is about had me in tears! Unfortunately, the episode itself wasn’t too good.

You spread the rumor of me dating the lunch lady!
I’m his muse?
Actually, Stephen King is his muse.
You were there for me. If that’s being a Barry, I’m okay with it.
You keep writing about me, about this family. It may not all be true, but it’s pretty damn good.
Turns out the best stories are the one that come from home.

3/10


American Horror Story 6.06

I am never more excited than when it comes to murder. What a bloody episode. Best this season, and unfortunately the last good one as well. I absolutely loved the ‘Blair Witch’ warning in the middle. What did you guys think of Sarah’s British accent? I thought she’s doing a great job, especially compering to Evan’s really bad one a few episodes ago. I loved that Kathy Bates’s character went full on ‘Mysery’ and killed some. Also, OJ Simpson and Martha being friends in this episode made me so damn happy. I know every teenager everywhere plus one of my good friends are mourning Evan’s character, but he played just really shitty this season and his character was unnecessary in the first place.

If they look out the window and see trailers parked in the fucking yard.
You became obsessed.
You’re not on the show. You’re never gonna be on the show again.
We only want real people this year.
I’m a real person.
You’re unstable.
Do you think the restraining order will keep her away?
God, I hope not.
I have no interest in finding out who that is.
Was that Agnes?
She’s here to steal my Saturn!
Your car?
No, my Saturn award!
Over the next three days during the Blood Moon, every participant in this series died under mysterious circumstances. Except for one.
The show planned by the producers never aired . This is the assembled found footage.
Hi, girl.
Hi, Dominic. When did you get here?
Fuck you, Sidney.

10/10


Younger 3.04

I know Younger is from the Sex and the City creator, but it annoys me how sex centered the show is getting. This shitty episode fo example was all about period sex.

I’m recommending we cut stuff by 45 % next quarter. Not you. Just the old people, like Diana.

1/10


Younger 3.05

New lingo, what not to say anymore. At least we got rid of the stupid millionaire kid. And email will never go out of style. It’s just too good. And we all know Snapchat etc. will die just like Vine and so many others are.

I think there is a way to view private. I think it’s called stalk-book. I’ll check it out.Oh you can put my finger on it.
No, I don’t have Google alerts, maybe my assistant should set it up.

3/10


Scream Queens 2.04

Loved the SVU reference, but other than that it was a really bad episode. At least all the annoying characters are getting killed off.

Where I come from sad and skinny 20 something’s feelings are more important than some stupid documents!
These are their stories.
You stupid hobo.
That’s because you insist of Snapchatting during sex.

3.5/10


The Good Place 1.06

All the Friends references!

Sicko, freako, creepo, George Washington.
Is it that movie where Laura Linney cries in a lake house, because Jude Law left her for his ex wife’s ghost?
Like if your uber driver talks to you, the ride should be free?
I even watched all 10 seasons of the show called Friends. How did they afford that apartment? A waitress and a chef with those Manhattan real estate prices?
Since we’re becoming friends like Ross and Phoebe.
We’re combo but okay.
Unlike Ross when he promised Emily not to talk to Rachel.
I feel like Friends in season 8, out of ideas and forcing Joey and Rachel together even though it made no sense.

4.5/10


The Good Place 1.07

Only the very ending made sense.

Michael, the problem in the neighborhood is me. I was brought to The Good Place by mistake.

Greys 13.05

Webber being all pervy accidentally asking a patient’s sister to get in bed with him.

Close the fridge.
You are quite young.
I’m a baby.
You look super sketchy.
So this isn’t real. Wait, I hugged you and you haven’t even peed on a stick yet? Tell me when it’s real.
No oh my gods and no hugging until she pees on a stick.
I need to get you in a bed.
She’s 25.
But screw her, granny is getting a liver today!
My answer is hell no!
Yes, I’ll hold. (eye roll)
Why am I not just a friend?
Ugh. (eye roll)
I gave Zola a shirt, and then with Ellis, I was off the hook, becuase he was dead.
Last time I didn’t have to tell the father, because he was dead.
This is for the Christmas card.
She’ll be talking for two now.

10/10

The Middle 8.02

I felt the episode wasn’t as good as usual, but It was still funny enough and I did count 20 great lines/scenes so it’s a 10.

College can be so impersonal.
Your financial aid got resented because you failed to renew it.
East Indiana kicked me out! I’m not in college anymore!
Did you tell them how poor we were?!
When was the deadline?
March?
I am not an adult!
Everyone has to learn to grow the hell up right now!
Kenny, stop talking.
Wait, I gotta poop again.
I’m gonna have to ask you to stop touching the photo of my cat.
If I’m gonna sneak out of work in the middle of the day, it better involve a margarita or a cinema.
Why can’t you parallel park!?
I swallowed the pill! I am a man!
Who cares!
I think you just lost our side mirror.
What about your parents’ business manager?
Why is the school emailing me? Don’t they know I don’t go here anymore?!
What happened to your side mirror?
Who cares?
I paid for it. I sold my half of the diaper business.
Why would you do that?
It’s Sue.

10/10

How To Get Away With Murder 3.04

A fantastic episode. Annalise’s licence is revoked. And Femke came back to say goodbye.

They found another body at the house.
I’m gay, she’s…
It’s complicated.
The defendant is represented by an unlicensed lawyer.
That’s physical assault.
Goofy looking table.
I am now in charge of this case.
Oh my God, it’s about your dad.
You stood by while your buddies raped Tiffany Howard
You think anyone ever believes a child in cases like this?
What the hell am I gonna do in the city? Move in with you, become your trophy wife?
I’m down with that.
Eve’s got more balls than all of you.
She sure thinks she’s Annalise.
You raped my client.
I plead the 5th.
I’m an alcoholic.
I’m sorry, I met someone. She wants me to move to San Francisco.
Does she love you? Do you love her?
I do.
You deserve it more than anyone. You deserve to be loved.
My father is dead.
It’s good to finally meet you, pop.
Who are you?
Frank.
It’s still not gonna make up for what you did to her.

10/10

How To Get Away With Murder 3.05

They showed up Frank’s backstory, Annalise’s miscarriage, Sam was back and Bonnie and Frank hooked up.

Cremate him.
How was it?
Lovely.
This is sexual harassment.
11 years earlier.
If you want me to take a pro bono case how about nit a wite guy wgi has violent tendencies.
How is this different than you asking me to help Bonnie?
Only a moron commits those kidd of infractions when you’re up for parole.
Ding dong. The bitch is dead.
We need to storm the presiden’t office and do Oh captain, my Captain.
Plenty of people prefer life on the inside. Someone feeds you., tells you were to be all the time, sounds nice to me.
It is illegal to do an unlawful search and seize of someone’s property.
Run away with me.
You were 13.
I planned it for weeks,
Frank you’re an idiot, you couldn’t even kill him right.
Sociopaths don’t cry after what they did, Frank.
Just tells us where your accent’s from.
We’re also messed up. Annalise especially, but you.
Frank isn’t gone.
I’m not in the mood to see your needy faces.
She can’t speak for herself? That’s not the Laurel I know.
Laurel is pregnant.
Annalise’s house burnt down.
Where’s Connor?

10/10

Younger 3.03

An average episode, I wish the next two were half as good.

What if I’m straight?
I gotta tell you something. People in this town know me and it’s possible they might be saying things about me which might be confusing.
I’m not the person you think I am and I don’t want you to be shocked.
What’s the big secret?
I was a slut in high school.
Stop trying to be so interesting.
You never know what’s gonna happen when you get in bed with a 26year old.
Wow, you are the real deal.

5/10

Scream Queens 2.03

Poor warted Taylor probably saw you naked and gaged and you were so enraged you killed him. Loved the Julia Roberts reference, since Emma is her niece, And it’s true, two people were left at the alter on Grey’s Anatomy, first Cristina by Burke, back in season 3, and much later Matthew the paramedic by April Kepner. At the end of the episode one of the most annoying characters gets killed.

Folks were being killed left and right.
I am alive, but I’m not living.
His ass was held back 8 years in the second grade.
61 degrees. You are dead.
Being left at the alter works in Julia Roberts movies and on Grey’s Anatomy.

6.5/10

Secrets and Lies 2.01

How come season 1 was so good, and season 2 is a disaster? I knew I shouldn’t have started it. Favorite part was when the mannequin fell from the sky while the victim’s family stopped by. Also, the show stars Terry O’Quinn or Locke from Lost, so I’ll keep watching. Did anyone notice how they force interracial couples on the viewers? 3 interracial couples in one family, seriously?

You didn’t know your wife had someone else’s baby?
I didn’t mean to kill him.

Our shows are back! What do you guys think about the new fall shows? I hated Notorious, I watched two episodes and it may be one of the most boring TV shows ever made. I think I’ll just stick with The Good Place. And I still need to see This is Us and The Exorcist!

Greys 13.01

I hated this opening episode with every fiber of my being. Karev beat DeLuca up, and was that eye injury really necessary?

2/10


Greys 13.02

Didn’t they close the Denny Duquette clinic back in season 6? When did it get reopened?

Felony in the second degree.
How do you plead, Dr Karev?
Not guilty.
Which parent is ready to hear that yes, your toddler i dead, but here’s a bill for quarter million dollars anyway.
Do you have a decent lawyer, do you need help?
You got along at the wedding.
It was a wedding, I had tequila.
She named her tumor after her ex husband’s mistress.
I was attacked, I remember.
I think I might have just threatened DeLucaa
Who is Mrs Petercan?
She doesn’t know that you’re madly in love with me.
What hear about you threatening DeLuca?
Where is Dr Alex? I want Dr Alex.
You were the big surprise. You were most improved. The person who beat up DeLuca is a person I thought you left a long time ago.
The Denny Duquette clinic?
We walked through doors as interns, we’re thrown into the deep end together, told to save lives together, to save each other, we become family.
I slept with Riggs.

10/10


Greys 13.03

What is happening to Greys?! Yawn, yawn, yawn. And why did they show us the eye surgery again? Other than that, Ben was just his perfect self yesterday. And Tucker Jones is so grown up! He looks 12 already!

Edit

After rewatching the episode, I realized it was actually really good.

It sucks but I’m fine.
Welcome back, Robbins.
Morgue. There’s not much emergencies in that job.
Excuse me?
You’re the boss.
I am a big chunk of this hospital, so technically I am.
I don’t want to go to jail.
That’s the guy you trained and raised or whatever.

SVU 18.01

I was running on reruns and holding on to the last straw. Season 18 started off with an intense Central Park scene, where Liv had to calm down a little child who pointed a gun at her and her son Noah. What a season opener. The episode went more into a terrorism side, than what the show is all about, but Olivia didn’t give in and did everything she could to help the abused Muslim woman. SVU covered recent mass shootings, while staging a Central Park shooting. Throughout the whole episode she had a lovely ‘fed up with perps’ attitude and Mariska was an absolute scene stealer. Here are some quotes I loved, you know the drill.

I am in the park with Noah.
I found him in Central Park, he had a gun.
Rita, you’re representing terrorists now.
Hell of a ride to get on.
She was raped and tortured by him and his brother.
Your job cost my son his life.
Rape or no rape she is a killer.
I am going to investigate a case that everyone wants me to ignore.
Unless you had in vitro, you had sex.
She asked you a question.
I want a lawyer.
Okay. (the way Mariska said ‘okay’)
I believe her and so does she.

9.5/10


SVU 18.02

A teenager was obsessed with Amanda and lied to please her and Amanda said it was not her fault he has a crush on her and that was the best part of the episode. A man rapes the only daughter of a woman who accused him of raping her years ago as the prison ‘made him a rapist’.

The girl was raped, beaten and stabbed.
She was pretty, like you.
Plus Detective Rollins…
I know she’s an attractive woman.
Detective Rollins flirted with you.
It’s not my fault he has a crush on me.
I was raped in prison all the time.

5/10


Shameless 7.01

Woah, season 7, what are you doing? I disliked most of the episode for the first time in the history of watching this show! It started off okay and then it got…boring! I didn’t know nurses had to wash coma patient’s genitalia, so thanks for that Shameless. I’ll tell repeat that to my best friend who’s finishing nursing school now. Another reason not to go into medicine. And I hated that Carl’s girlfriend practically bullied him into having a circumscription at 15, what the fuck. Not everyone is a jew, you know? The only thing I liked about this was that Lip will work at Fiona’s diner and I really enjoyed Debbie stealing these baby strollers and getting a nanny. I still don’t understand why Fiona got to keep her ex fiancee and boss was the one who moved away.

Holy Mother of Jesus.
It’s okay. I’ll just superglue it.
You’re thing is kinda weird.. It has all that extra skin. It freaks me out.
I could use an extra person on dishes.
Done.

3.5/10


The Goldbergs 4.01

When I heard The Goldbergs were doing The Breakfast Club episode, I thought it would be epic. Hell, I was expecting tears running from my eyes. I usually hate when shows act out the famous scene from this teen classic. I loved their tribute to The Goonies! And many other films, including Dirty Dancing or The Ghostbusters, etc. The only show that honored and celebrated The Breakfast Club well enough was Cougar Town a few years back.

Aww The Breakfast Club. Truly the ultimate teen movie of the 80s.
Why aren’t you moving?! Stop it! Start moving your body!I received my teaching license and I am now a substitute teacher.
See you in the halls, delicious people.
It’s just like The Breakfast Club!
I’m not the nerd!
Again, this is just like the movie.
You’re all wearing hats, like idiots.
Sincerely, The Breakfast Club.

6/10


The Goldbergs 4.02

I hope the whole season won’t be this bad. Why is Erica so obsessed with Geoff, she didn’t care about his feeling for years. I would have understood if she realized he was her soulmate, but why the sudden obsession?

Bookkeeper is not a librarian.
And most of my customers is me in different costumes.
My first professional paying gig!

1.5/10


How To Get Away With Murder 3.01

Frank shot Wes’s father and one of the students or Bonnie die at the end of season 3! Screaming in the woods as a form of letting go.

You get to be lawyers, responsible for your own cases.
Killer.
We’re good people now.
At least they chose a good photo.
Why are you always stalking me?
You were never normal, you just didn’t know it till now.
The five is in the bottom 10%.
When I look at you, all I see is Frank.
Who is it?

How To Get Away with Murder 3.02

I wasn’t concerned until you started talking how not concerned you are.
I did what you did. I killed a guy and I got away with it.

Transparent 3.01

Moira’s scenes at the beginning were amazing! Anything else was awful. Ali was practically sexually assaulted, but sure whatever. Every time the kids defend their mapa’s genre I feel so proud.

Told us to sign that in case we were kidnapped.
Can you change the M please?
Go fuck yourself.
Okay, I will.
She’s a woman! Her name is Moira!
His vitals.
HER vitals!
I am not doing things I could be doing.
I don’t want to die with some arrogant asshole calling me Mr Fefferman.

3.5/10


Younger 3.01

All this Liza Charles business is insane. I want them to get together. I doubt he’d care that she’s 40. So she lied, everyone lies about their age. I never saw the Liza/Josh connection. Homeless man in the wedding dress, though! Excellent.

Charles kissed me in the man’s department.
The sales who picked it out…
That’s for fat people.
You want a tour?
Sure.
This is were I sit. This is where I sleep.
It was just a kiss, Liza. Let it go.

4.5/10


American Horror Story 6.02

Anyone actually enjoying this season? For me it’s boredom. Remember how good the first 4 seasons were? I miss Jessica Lange every time I watch this show.

Percilla. The little girl with weird clothes.
Do you see her?
I see her.
Is that the same guy you saw in the video?

5.5/10


American Horror Story 6.03

Inbred hillbillies drinking pig’s milk and then masturbated while OJ Simpson had unconscious sex with Lady Gaga. Yeah, it’s finally getting fucked up. Doll with pig’s head and other cute gory things equally on point.

Your daughter is with Perscilla.
There can never be a friendship between dead and the living.
You were screwing this woman against the tree while these hillbillies watched.

5/10


Scream Queens 2.01

I guess now we all know why they invited Uncle Jesse to the show. Yes, my favorite scene was the one where Emma Roberts took her clothes off the minute she saw John Stamos naked. I also enjoyed that a Netflix documentary exonerated the Channels. And we all know people who went to med school even though they didn’t study enough and then there are people who really should be doctors and had to retake their exams even though they were much higher than the rich ones the first time. Don’t even get me started with online med schools and doctors who can’t diagnose the simplest things and check everything online while you’re asking them questions. Is everyone else loving Kristie Ally in this as much as I am?!

That Netflix documentary that exonerated us.
Shut up, number 5!
Turns out, I love blood! Looove it!
Turns out I’m really good at poking people!
Oh my god, thank you, right?!
Uhm, let’s go over what’s expected of you.
Dr. Hot.
Through the power of the Internet, anyone can be an M.D.
Still dressing as sluts, I see.Your obvious stupidity will not get past me.
You rich dumb whores.

8.5/10


Scream Queens 2.02

So bad it hurt at times.

Have you graduated high shool to become a detective?
I haven’t been man handled in 2 years.
Lot of work for relatively small and insignificant amount of land.
Call the police. No don’t call them. They’re morons!
From now on, when someone is about to take off the mask, don’t interrupt them with stupid questions!

Woah, I’m really behind. That’s probably, because I watched 61 films in January instead of writing here and watching only 40. I’ll do better since all the shows start again later this week. I wish I could watch the shows on a big screen and type on my laptop at the same time, like I did this week, when I watched Pretty Little Liars on Netflix and typed on my laptop. Also, I finally found the rest of my old notes.

SVU 17.14/Chicago PD 3.14

Congrats to SVU on Season 18 renewal! Rednik and Yates pulled a Shawshank. How did they fit through that small hole we’ll never know. Yates and Rednik were on of my favorite serial killers out of all cop shows. William Lewis was fantastic too. Nothing beats The Gravedigger from Bones though. I mean sure I liked Palant on Bones too, but not the third one they intoduced later, and I can’t stand the 3XK and the senator on Castle. You see what I’m getting at. I don’t watch Chicago PD, I tried, but I found it boring, so I wasn’t really concerned about Lydia’s death back in May. I am definitely going to miss Yates. How is it that SVU got rid of both of their biggest serial killers? I am definitely downloading all the Yates and Rudnik episodes to analize. I liked it better when Yates was hooked on Rollins instead of Lyndsey. I was surprised Yates didn’t rape his victims, except for the trooper of course. The SVU episodes was much better than the Chicago PD one and Erin was making lots of irrational decisions.

He just offered this up for humanitarian reasons?
He wants to discuss it with Rollins.
I just don’t want her anywhere near him.
I’d be much more comfortable with Detective Rollins.
Why? Oh. She must have had her baby by now.
Get her here.
Are you breastfeeding?
You know how this works, Amanda.
Barba, I didn’t know that Uber came up to New Heaven.
I’m not depressed, I’m pissed off.
I have a baby, so I can’t talk to serial killers.
3 drones.
You say Rollins understands him best, then get her here.
She helped William Lewis escape.
Don’t you do background checks?
They look like two church ladies.
Fin and I are on the next plane.
No victim shows any sign of sexual assault.
Too bad you’re at the station, Erin. You’re missing all the fun.
Get everyone out of the building. Get a bomb squad.
We X-rayed it. It’s not a bomb.
He’s talking about going home. Where was Yates born?
The answer is yes, you do remind me of my mother.
Special thanks to Lieutenant Olivia Benson and Detective Tutuola.

The Middle 7.14

The episode itself was quite average, but Sue not being able to pitch in for all the things the roomate wanted to buy was very relatable. Frankie has gotten more grumpy this season. I need Brick’s T-shirt saying ‘Some of my best friends are fictional’. When Brad said ‘I can’t make love to probably’ to Frankie I simply could not stop laughing.

Sue was actually getting the roomate she wanted.
He said I’m going places.
Like to your own place?
Some of my best friends are fictional.
Pay me back later when you go to the ATM.
She said ‘It’s only 300 dollars’. Like I say ‘Something is only 1 dollar’.
We have a long plan where we die before we need to pay anything off.
I can’t make love to probably.
This is magic.
I think that’s Shake it Off! We love you Taylor.
Sometimes the key to a great friendship is not having lots of other options.

Castle 8.08

Who else can’t stand Castle this season? The’obsession’ quote though was worth watching.

I would walk into a tornado for you.
Deep down inside you like being broken. And you need this obsession.

5/10

Grandfathered 1.08

That’s what I’m saying, people who only have problems like where to party where to eat are just so annoying.

When we get to Malibu, should we go massage then beach or beach then massage? Ugh, I hate dillemas.

2/10

The Good Wife 7.08

Grace is finally kicking some ass with prerecorded office noises and getting all those firms.

We are a little busy, but we’re never too busy for a business like yours.
How did you get all those firms?

6.5/10

The Good Wife 7.09

3/10

The Simpsons 27.07

Hey, man, how’d you get that seat?
They thought I was pregnant.

5.5/10

Scream Queens 1.10

But then she had a little accident.
Oh God Would you stop with the screaming.
You have a bright future ahead of you in the sex offender wing of a supermax prison.

6.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.13

That was you in that silver jag?
I ordered a beer.
We can’t serve you that.
You worried when I skip a meal, how was I supposed to tell you I was skipping school.
Is he writing about you?
She was small like me, get over it.
You went through a lot together.
It was high school.
Not for him.
I would never do that to you.
I’m broke
I left school.
I’ll lend you the money.
She sounded a little typsy so I thought we could maybe fool around.
There isn’t an ice machine at the end of that hall.
It’s time to go, now!

5.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.14

Pappy? Who calls their future father in law Pappy?

Tobyplans to propose.
I erased the security footage.
Twitter is the new Facebook and Snapchat is the new Twitter.
Charlotte DiLaurentis will walk streets of this town after my dead body.
Why is it so easy to fall back into old habits?
That’s why they’re called habits.

Pretty Little Liars 6.15

What, Mike is in college already? The Montgomerys remarried. Who else really doesn’t care about the liar’s made up jobs? Spencer and Caleb is just not something we want to watch. So Hanna watches Downton Abbey because her boyfriend is British, steryotyping much? Hanna and Aria took Ashley’s house apart, they went through her serial? Who hides a drive in cereal? Stash of moisturisers would be nice.

You know you can’t tell her that to her face, right?
It’s just like Downton Abbey when Bates goes on trial.
Did I miss a memo of calling our parents by their names?
Team Sparia.
Stash of moisturises.
What are you going to do after that?
I’m using the money to finish school.
Please tell me you don’t own a selfie stick.
Can you come back here and toss me like a freesby.
You can find your mug with your other things in your box on the desk.
Weren’t you the girl who came in here with a five year plan?
There’s a line of girls lining up to take your place.
Good, let them.
This was Charlotte’s room she stayed in when she was in Radley.
Can we just keep driving?
If you can change the rules, so can we.

The Leftovers 2.08

Like The Godfather?
Exactly like The Godfather.

I can’t seem to get the old wordpress dashboard to show up. I have been using it instead of the new one for the last three years. Here is quick part one of the missing notes on the episodes I misplaced during my move. I’ll post the second half tomorrow, as I can’t sit still any longer without watching the new SVU. I haven’t posted them earlier, as I have been busy with watching all the nominated films before the Golden Globes, and then I decided to watch 7 seasons of The Middle and here I am.

SVU 17.09

Dr Wang is back. Good case.

He’s been leaving messages for Rollins at 3am.
Hey what’s up Amanda. Hold on, I’ll come get you.

10/10

Bones 11.08

I’m still trying to figure out what on Earth happened to Bones. Why has it been such a drag these last couple of seasons? Remember season 4? Remember season 6? Season 1? Anything in between? I don’t want to think of it most likely ending this season, because o Emily and David’s lawsuit, but the writers really need to step up with the cases, or we’ll say goodbye to what once was my fourth favorite show.

I’m not buying you a jet ski so you could kill yourself riding around like a 16 year old.

6.5/10

Castle 8.07

The show got a lot funnier since Ryan shot Esposito in the ass. Someone watched The First Wives Club too many times.

Tell that to the whole in my ass.
Someone didn’t enjoy being screwed…out of their money.
Based on what? The plot of The First Wives Club?
Who shot me on the ass on purpose.

7.5/10

Nashville 4.08

Maddie was offered a deal. One of my favorite episodes of the show, as this is what I’ve been waiting for since the pilot.

I’m blond now.
They want to sign her.
I got an offer?
Sony wants me?
This is way too personal.
All great songs are.
Lot of people wanted to take advantage of me.
Maddie is exactly like me.
My father kicked me out at 16.
You were offered a record deal?
They only wanted you.
You don’t need me. Nobody needs me.
I think it may be the time you sign with Highway 65.
Almost forgot what playing real music feels like.

10/10

Scream Queens 1.09

I’m sort of gay now too.
To make me popular enough to get a rich husband.
She could have at least get attacked in a fresh new way.

10/10

Grandfathered 1.07

This is where I shoot my makeup tutorials.
Who does she think she is, the bread police?

8.5/10

The Good Wife 6.08

Where’s Peter?
Sleeping.

10/10

The Leftovers 2.07

I had a huge problem watching the finale, and two months after the episode premiered, I still haven’t made it to the end. I already tried twice, and turned it off because it was unappealing and frankly quite boring. Season 1 was wonderful. This one? I have no clue what this season is.

Why do you think I died for a fucking cult?

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!

At the pictures 10 times a month. I rate films within genre. I watch all interesting titles about to expire on Netflix and HBO Go. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. Over the years I’ve seen 140 TV Shows.

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)

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

‘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)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘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)

‘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)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘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)

‘OK, then, listen. Let’s not get caught.’
‘What are you talkin’ about?’
‘Let’s keep goin’!’
‘What d’you mean?’
‘Go.’
‘You sure?’
‘Yeah. Yeah.’ (Thelma & Louise)

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’ (Brothers and Sisters)

‘You will be left all alone with your bitterness and your rage and your knowledge that you loved her and she loved you and you threw it away for them.’
‘Do you love her?’
‘Yes.’
‘And Have you always?’
‘Yes.’
‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

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

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