Harvey

I'm rewatching this little gem of a show and ugh, the scene where Nell reveals her miscarriage is so good! The more I re-watch the more I notice what a great job the actress did, putting these emotions in just the right words. It really makes me feel things.

Well, the they are already sowing the seeds of jealousy Veg will feel, he noticed that Lisa was sharing her joy with Danny, not him. I thought the bahtroom repairman's storyline was really funny and also cute with that small-stake marital debate. The best plotline of the series so far.

I watched the first 3 episodes today, and I think that's where I'll stop. The main problem with this show is that not one character is likeable. In fact, most of them are actively horrible. Whoever voices the mantitaur is doing a terrible job, every line they say annoys me with that style of pronounciation they use. And it is just not funny. 3 whole episodes and it did not even make me smile once, but it did succeed in making me feel aggravated by it's stupidity. It's a shame as I love mythology, I wish this could have been better.

Fun update: Marcel Spears just became a father last week! He has a baby girl.

New series debuts on november 9 on Apple TV

In the abscence of any new shows, I started rewatching season 4 of this little gem. One thing that stood out to me on the re-watch that I like is that despite everything going on, the one constant thing is that Abishola and Bob are well-suited to each other and they make each other feel better just with their presence. It is such a nice dynamic we don't see much in entertainment and it was illustrated in a great way in the final scene of this episode.

This show should be re-booted. With the new cultural landscape there are so many more places they could go.

OK but like am I the only one who couldn't care less about "catching Rick prime"? Like, this big overarching theme about Rick's (uninteresting) backstory and the exploration of why the way he is the way he is and getting revenge is, first of all a very cliche story, secondly it's just boring and not interesting. Just give us fun episodes exploring different absurd concepts there is no need for all this "hurr durr I will avenge my dead wife" BS.

OMG the way I called it!!! Well, that was a good finale. Other than Sheila not getting a positive romantic ending, everyone else's storyline wrapped up very well. I do feel that Sheila's journey is not even close to being over yet and I'd be happy to watch another 10 episodes of her just figuring out how to be happy, but we were already lucky to get a season 3 and she was left in a much better place than where she started. I don't know if it was necessary to give so much credit to Bunny, but that's how they chose to play it and that's fine.

I am curious if they will do a thing where they bring back everyone for the finale. Bunny / Tyler / Breem / Danny's campaign manager / Sheila's mother

Well, I am not sure what was the point of this episode, specially when we only have 1 more to go. There was way too much Danny. And it was sort of like a play, them just talking about random things. The thing is, it was not engaging at all, and I kept waiting for the episode to just end. They have a lot to do next week, I hope they get this right. But I don't see how can they accomplish everything they need to in just 30 minutes.

Their own.

S3EP07: Oh wow, the show is really knocking it out of the park in it's final season. The therapy session between Sheila and Breem was so cool. And I loved the demonstration of Sheila's inner struggle while she was having dinner with Carlos. And it was even better when she was alone in her bed. Breem and his wife bonding in that destructive way at the end was kind of cute I guess. Their relationship is so weird.

EP 6: I love how Danny's sister keeps explaining his behavior and giving us the necessary context to understand his behaviour. Sheila's honest moment was amazing, and so well acted. I had to re-watch it 3 times. The show is really going out on a bang, can't wait to see what happens next.

I don't understand why the trailer just focused on Loui. Lestat was the strong point of the series and he's also more important in the books. It just doesn't make sense.

Is that a new art style

S3EP5: oh wow, this episode was so good. FIrst of all, I love that the self-deprecating voice is back. It's fascinating and it was so heartfelt watching the end of the episode, and how Sheila fought against her own inner turmoil, trying to make things better. I loved her scenes with Breem, and also with Carlos. I was shocked she was honest with him about what happened. Of course she kept the fact that she went on another eating binge a secret, which means she will do it again. Shockingly, even Danny's scenes were okay. I like that the backstory provided by his sister makes his character and behavior make more sense.

So I guess that's how Sheila will win, Vinny dies, and Deschanel's character doesn't really like exercise so she will leave the business when she gets a different opportunity. So then Sheila can go on to dominate that niche in the exercise market.

Oh wow this looks really good honestly.

Looks promising. I'll check this out once it drops.

S3EP4: Wow, this episode was really good. I love that Danny / Breem were not in it at all, all the focus was on Sheila. As it should be. I am not sure what exactly freaked her out so much on stage, but it was interesting to see her relapse and be led astray by her competition. I am not sure where they are going with Vinny's illness (I guess he has cancer?) but I am sure they are building towards something.

S3EP3: Wow, I loved the scene where Sheila owned her nastiness in front of Danny. "This is who I have always been. I just didn't let you see it". That was so empowering. I started just skipping the scenes with Breem. I literally do NOT care about his wife or family drama. But at least in this episode most of the focus was on Sheila and not the secondary characters, which is where the show shines. If I saw correctly, the Italian guy fed Sheila a simple salted tomato. While that is flavorful, it is not THAT good 😄. The scene where she told Greta about meeting him was so cute though🥰

Agreed with the casting mishap here. Zooey Deschanel is just not pretty enough to be a realistic nemesis for Sheila even if it's in her head, and that blonde wig they make her wear looks ridiculous. Like okay I get that it's a manifestation of Sheila's insecurities but still, they could have chosen a better actress...I sure do hope she won't be sticking around for long. Danny still gets too much screen time, specially in the second episode, and I hope to god it will lead somewhere since we know the writers knew this was going to be the final season, but for now it's just a bunch of nothing. I loved the scene with Sheila in therapy, that was good.

With that ending, they must be very confident about a season 4 renewal, which surprised me because I never saw a show being aired in such a strange way, years after it's filmed. It's like the network owning the rights does not care about it at all.

Actually, the entire season did. I am halfway through, and wow, it's heavy heavy...I love how complex the cases they give to Abigail this season are. The show really upped it's writing.
