New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 8 "Three Dots" Review

A patient's treatment plan takes an unexpected turn when Max gets overly invested. Meanwhile, Reynolds celebrates his birthday with some help from the hospital and Kapoor grapples with a case that hits close to home.


This was a really great episode that had a bunch of really well-done scenes and each of the different stories told in this episode or so well done in really well detailed and had a good beginning and ending to each of them. Everything with Max and him dealing with this patient who has some form of cancer and has opportunity to get this surgery but it is much more likely that this patient will die on the operating table so Max dealing with this patient refusing to get the surgery and rather choosing to live a rather short but less painful life was an interesting thing to see how Max grapple that. And just that whole story told by this Rabbi about all these different comparisons to the Bible and all these different stories and stuff was really interesting to see how those comparisons were made. I'm still very confused and somewhat uncertain about the ending for Max we're through all this he decided to go with experimental surgery to cure cancer instead of the regular way and that just felt like a sudden turn that didn't quite fit his character in my opinion. Then everything with Dr. Reynolds and him dealing with not wanting to celebrate his birthday did make for some fun scenes but that was probably the weaker of the stories in this episode but it still did show some more of his character growth and getting to know his character more which was really interesting and entertaining to see. The moments with Dr. Kapoor were probably some of my favorite moments in this episode because his whole storyline revolves around this patient who has depression and her Asian heritage doesn't really believe in mental illness so they are struggling to grapple with how to help her when they don't necessarily believe that she's sick. And Kapoor dealing with those similar problems because he's someone who feels the same way and him going to this patient's mother and sort of working through how to approach this and how to truly understand that this is an illness that needs to be cured was really interesting to see. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode and I'm so excited to see what they're going to do next especially with how this episode ended for Max.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 5 "Tagumo Attacks!!!" Review

A new fugitive is loose in 1951 Tokyo; As Constantine struggles to recover, Ray must look outside the team for help; Ava joins Nate and his family for an unconventional Thanksgiving dinner.

This was such a fun and entertaining episode that did a very good job with the whole storyline that was created around this big theme of having some sort of source to deal with your emotions and all the different forms that that can take for a different people. And I really enjoyed the whole concept and idea around the creation of Godzilla and how there was originally this other creature known as Tagumo that was created through this magical book that the director got a hold of and he used it to get all of his emotions out around the bombing of Nagasaki I believe and him working through that by creating a monster that could be the villain. And just how the team dealt with this monster and discover the truth around this book was really fun especially with how it eventually brought Mick and his ability to be a good writer into the mix and him using that as a weapon to essentially write his own story and own way to help them defeat this monster. Then Ray going on the side mission to track down where Nora is hiding so that she can come aboard the ship and save John was really interesting to see how all that played out. I especially loved the conversation between John and Nora where they talked about the differences between light and dark magic and how if Nora does accept and give in to her dark magic nature that is something that from that point on can never really go away and she has to learn to accept that it's going to be a part of her permanently and that just felt like such a touching moment to hear from Constantine and I just really loved it for that. Then everything with Ava and Nate was really fun with them meeting Nate's family and seeing where he comes from and why he's so agitated towards his family was really interesting to see because overall they seem like such nice people but they have this pressure and side to them to want Nate to be perfect, and to be like them and he isn't. That was just really interesting to see. Then overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode that had such a great storyline to it and it was so much fun to watch and see how everything played out.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 10 "Bad Day to Be a Hero" Review

Magnum must help Rick's crush after her illegal poker game is robbed by masked gunmen.

This was a really great episode that did a good job of giving every character a role in the main story. Everything with Rick and him working on trying to save this relationship he has formed and things just keeping going wrong for him leading to a somewhat of an unhappy ending. Then meeting Rick's father and seeing some of the life he grew up in and possibly why he is the way he is was really great. The whole break down of which shady person at the poker game was involved with the robbers was interesting with how the ruled out each player until something came up. But the actual truth behind the robbery just felt like a very dramatic shift and like they were trying to fit two different episodes into one which made for a very rushed ending in my opinion. Overall this was a really fun and exciting episode that had a lot of good parts to it.

Charmed Season 1 Episode 8 "Bug a Boo" Review

While on the hunt for Jada, Harry and Charity learn a Changeling Demon is putting one of the sisters in danger.

This was a fun and okay episode that had some troubles because of the fact the three different sisters stories were so different it was a little to much plot for one episode. Everything with Mel in this episode was interesting with her joining the Sisters of Arcana to figure out what they're planning and what they took from Tartarus. The truth coming out about Jada and why she has the powers she does was an interesting concept with her being a mix of witch and whitelighter. Everything with Maggie was fun with her working to get an internship in Chicago and making Macy sign up for the dating app in order to get over her feeling for Galvin. The side story with Parker working to get the sister's blood was well done with him using his illness to his benefit. Macy going on a really bad date and getting kidnapped was a fun way to introduce the monster of the week and it being a bug monster that needs a home for its eggs was also fun to play on Harry's fear of bugs. Then just overall this was a really fun episode that was so exciting to watch and I can't wait to see what will happen next.  

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 7 "Chapter Forty-Two: The Man in Black" Review

Fearful that he will be caught, Archie hits the road and ends up at a farm outside Riverdale; Betty finds herself up against a formidable foe from her past; Veronica makes a risky business decision that could cost her everything.

This was a really weird and not all that entertaining or exciting of an episode that had some good parts to it but it just felt so out of place. Everything with Archie and Jughead on their whole road trip adventure was just odd and out of place, where they go to this random town and get a place to stay on this farm as long as they do some work. And through their work they discovered that the Griffins and Gargoyles game has reached this town and apparently Veronica's dad essentially owns the town and everyone follows him blindly and that just felt so odd that this random mob boss guy could take over a bunch of small towns in would want to just for the chance that it could come in handy for him in the future. Then Archie having this random one-off relationship with the owner of the farm felt so odd with him just breaking up with Veronica. Then how they eventually escaped and outsmarted Hiram was just odd too and didn't make much sense and it just felt so overdramatic. Everything with Betty and her stay in the Sisters of Quiet Mercy Asylum was probably some of my favorite moments in this episode with her going up against and also teaming up with Ethel to figure out more of the history around the Griffins and Gargoyles game and dealing with some of the people that are the most in-depth into this game. Then everything with Veronica again felt like just a bunch of shoed in moments to give Veronica something to do in the episode where her whole part was to figure out how to get more money for her speakeasy so she decides to have a casino night and brings in one of her dad's mobster friend's sons to host and then she figures out a way to outsmart him so she actually is gaining a prophet and it just felt really kind of pointless and unnecessary for the grander scheme of this episode. Then just overall this was an okay episode that had some good moments but it just felt really odd and unnecessary and just way too overdramatic and overdone.

The Flash Season 5 Episode 8 "What's Past is Prologue" Review

In the 100th episode, Barry and Team Flash come up with a plan to stop Cicada. However, the plan calls for Barry and Nora to travel back in time to gather some key necessities. However, Barry hesitates, concerned about his daughter seeing certain parts of his life. Meanwhile, Sherloque takes his concerns about Nora to Iris, and Caitlin turns up a key asset in the fight against Cicada.

This was a really great episode that was so much fun to watch and see what they did with Barry and Nora going back in time to get items that could stop Cicada. And they did a lot of similar things to many other shows when they have 100 anniversary where it's like a recap of everything that led up to where they are now. But in this episode, it was done a lot better than in Arrow and in many other shows because of the fact that it had a solid storyline behind why they are recapping through everything. Now having Nora interactions with all the different villains that Barry has fought over the years was interesting with her reactions to everything. With her actually seeing things versus just hearing stories about what happened to her dad. By far the best scenes were the ones with Nora and Barry going to go and meet Thawne and him recognizing Nora but not fully which made for a fun moment of him sort of hinting for the Tornado Twins and Nora having to step in and be like no I'm not her I'm Nora. Which sort of help to fill the idea that there might be multiple timelines that Thawne is dealing with which would be interesting to see in the future how that plays out where there might be a different future where the Tornado Twins are a thing. Then how they got all the pieces together to make this device that helps to take the shrapnel out of Cicada so he can no longer have his powers was interesting with how they chose to lure Cicada in and what they did to hide the weapon from him until they used it. Then ending with the reveal that Thawne and Nora have a relationship together and that she does know him was really interesting to see the fact of Nora's reactions when she learns the truth of why Barry and Thawne have had such a bad relationship together. Then everything was Sherloque and him looking into whether or not they should trust Nora was interesting but I also feel like it could've been done better and it just felt like a random scene to get Sherloque and Iris in a fight. Then the reveal around the idea that Caitlin/Killer Frost can't be affected by the dagger because she's not a meta-human on the same wavelength as the rest is an interesting idea that she still has the ability to use her power and fight against Cicada makes it very exciting to see what they're going to do in the future. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode and I'm so excited to see what they are going to do next.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 9 "Dead Reckoning" Review

When Ben and Michaela put everything on the line to save the other missing passengers, the mission goes horribly awry and not everyone makes it out alive.

This was a really great and interesting episode that had a very great storyline to it that was great to see play out and bring up the tension. All the steps that everyone went through to finally uncover were the missing passengers are being held and how everyone played into things was great to see everyone working together. I did have a problem with how heavily Jared is following Michaela and wouldn't really let her do anything on her own. Seeing Ben and Vance working together was great to see that Vance truly is a good guy just trying to figure everything out. Then Cal showing up and helping everyone figure things out because of his visions was really great especially with the moment with him making the comment the Ben is the only one who can guide everyone to safety was weird but great with Ben seeing a path that no one else could see. Which then lead to the other group that wasn't with Ben getting lost and hurt. Killing off Vance was surprising and I'm very curious to see what they might happen now that he is no longer there as a higher up to help. And I'm also curious to see what might happen to all these missing passengers now that they are saved but still comatose. Then overall this was a really great episode and I'm so excited to see what will happen next.  

Charmed Season 1 Episode 7 "Out of Scythe" Review

When Harry informs the sisters that Hilltowne is a portal to hell, they must band together to fight off a shadowy demon trying to obtain a collection of powerful magical artifacts.

This was a really interesting episode that had some good moments to it and some moments that were a little hard to follow. Everything around the gathering the pieces of the scythe and figuring out who is after it was great. Especially with all the other kind of mystical creatures that the sister encountered. Then everything with Maggie and Parker possibly starting a relationship now that they are free from possibly hurting Lucy is an interesting thing that I wonder what is going to happen going forward once more secrets are revealed. Mel working through what she wants to do with her life with time rewriting things was interesting with the new weird electric witch showing up to add a new love interest to her life. Macy being given the task of firing Galvin was great with Macy working to figure out which is more important her new job or her friendship with Galvin. The only problem I had with Macy's scenes how easily she managed to save Galvin and prove his important by basically saying that Galvin is a good friend to everyone. Then overall I'm curious to see what will happen next now that the scythe is all put together. 

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 8 "Bunker Hill" Review

Nia has a powerful dream about Agent Liberty but refuses to look at it as a prophetic dream and pushes it aside. After noticing something is bothering Nia, Kara enlists Brainy's help, and the two try to persuade Nia to embrace her destiny. Meanwhile, Manchester Black pays Ben Lockwood a menacing visit.

This was a really great episode that was so well done in its storyline and had a lot of great moments to it. Everything with Brainy and Nia was great with Brainy helping to guide Nia though her dreams to figure out what everything means and where the attack is taking place and just really helping Nia to control things more rather than just living through her dreams. Then all the scenes with the three of them going to this small town to hunt down Ben Lockwood was great with them seeing more of the reach of the Children of Liberty and having to avoid getting into to much trouble. Manchester Black's confrontation with Lockwood was great with Lockwood's wife learning what Ben has been up to. And just seeing all the conversations and fighting between Manchester and Lockwood was really great. Then the final moments with Ben being arrested for his actions and seeing the public outcry for his arrest was interesting to see. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was so great to watch. 

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 5 "Drown the Sadness In Chardonnay" Review

Lem makes a shocking decision; Olivia's past comes back to haunt her; Fiji seeks outside help from her fellow Light Witches; A suicide pits Manfred and Kai against one another.

This was a really confusing episode that was entertaining to watch and had some good moments to it. Everything with Lem in this episode was just odd with his decision to stop being a vampire so that he can have a family with Olivia and everything else that he wants. Then everything with Olivia in this episode was just weird with her finally confronting her father and finding out that he is still stuck living in the past to live where he felt happiest. How Olivia got stuck in her fathers trap and how Lem and others got her out of it was a little confusing, rushed, and felt like they were trying to wrap up everything they set up.

Fiji's parts in this episode were great with the truth coming out about her curse and why she is the way she is. That truth is that she is actually a dark witch and not a light one was a great reveal but a little confusing. Because why would that be a secret to her and if her own family didn't know how could they not. I feel the difference between a dark witch and light witch should be easily seen so it is known. Then it was also confusing how Fiji was all the sudden a master at dark magic once she realized she had it.

Then the moments with Manfred and Patients really felt like it should have been its own episode because it also felt a little rushed when trying to compete with the Olivia storyline. I did enjoy Manfred trying to figure out the mystery of why this girl killed her self and figuring out that she was actually murdered by her friend. And how all these things lead back to the idea of no one can escape from Kai was great with how it is becoming known that Manfred and Patients are in a relationship. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was a little hard to follow but it had a nice couple of storyline to it.  

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 6 "Chapter Forty-One: Manhunter" Review

Betty follows some strong leads in hopes of finding out who the true Gargoyle King is; Veronica's attempt to prove Archie's innocence lands her in hot water.

This was a very confusing and a real mess of an episode that was kind of hard to follow and really felt like they were trying to just connect events all in the hopes to start tying up all of the storylines they have set up. Everything with Betty in this episode was just a mess with her working to find out who did the original poisoning during the Midnight Clubs events. And everything with Penelope is just confusing being her motivations and actions just don't make any sense. Then everything with Jughead is just out there with him continuing to follow leads to bring him the Gargoyle King. I did enjoy the moments with them confronting Joaquin and learning a bit more about the in's and out's of the game that they haven't gotten to yet. Veronica's moments in this episode were just odd with her looking into freeing Archie and the evidence she found was just way to easy and her confrontation with her father made very little sense. Then Archie's actions in this episode were just odd where he went to confront the other kids who accused him only to find them dead at Hiram's hand. Then just overall this was a confusing episode that felt like a bit of a mess with how it was all put together. 

The Flash Season 5 Episode 7 "O Come, All Ye Faithful" Review

While Nora grapples with unresolved anger over her father's disappearance in the future, Barry and Team Flash must stop a powerful new meta, Weather Witch, from killing her own father, Weather Wizard.

This was a really great episode that was so much fun to watch and see how everything turned out. Everything with Weather Witch was interesting to see with her going through all these different things in order to gain the chance to kill her father. The meta-tech that Weather Witch had was also cool with her having this staff made from broken weather radar parts that now helps her control the weather. Then seeing Nora throughout this episode was interesting with her having this growing fear of losing her father so she is doing a lot to try and protect him. One of her ways to stop him was well done with her comment being the best way to stop him from getting hurt is to have Barry stop being The Flash. That was really interesting to hear because it was true but then seeing Barry showing that he truly loves being a hero and having Nora see that he needs to be a hero was all well done. Then just overall this was an entertaining episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next. 

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 9 "The Ties That Bind" Review

After a 16-year-old kidnap victim escapes her captors, her parents hire Magnum, who experienced similar trauma as a POW, to find who took her.

This was a really great episode that was so interesting to watch and see how everything turned out. Everything with Amanda was very interesting with her working through all the pain of what happened to help to then be able to help Magnum track down her kidnapper. And the truth comes out more about Magnum's experiences in the POW camp was interesting to see how Higgins reacted to everything. Then the part about locating was Amanda was being held was interesting with the police searches ended up going in the wrong direction and that is why they could never find her. Then the whole truth that the reason the kidnappers took Amanda was to get her father to kill someone he had access to was an interesting twist to the story. And how Magnum managed to save the day and stop things from going bad was all just entertaining to see. Then just overall this was a really well-done episode that was so entertaining to watch.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 8 "Point of No Return" Review

Ben forms an unlikely partnership with Vance in a high-stakes race to locate the missing passengers; Michaela helps a suicidal passenger; Cal goes back to school.

This was a really entertaining episode that had a good storyline to it and it was interesting to see how everything turned out. The moments between Vance and Ben were interesting with Ben continuing to try and locate the facility that the missing passengers are being held at. It was especially great in how Ben gathered information and what other passengers were willing to help Ben and Vance out. Then it was interesting to see how much other groups are hiding from Vance and the NSA. Everything with Michaela and her adventure through this episode was interesting with her finding a possible connection between telling people about the callings and those same people ending up dead shortly after. How Michaela and Ben reacted to this news and what they did to protect those they care about and working to figure out if trouble is coming or not was just all really interesting. Then Cal going back to school was just really sweet with some of his old friends gathering up to have a good time with him again. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm so excited to see what will happen next. 

Charmed Season 1 Episode 6 "Kappa Spirit" Review

As Maggie attempts to make amends with Lucy, she asks for Mel's help to figure out who the new Kappa member is.

This was a really entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch how everything turned out. Everything with Maggie was the main part of this episode and it was so entertaining but also a little confusing. I enjoyed this vengeful spirit working with Lucy and driving a bigger wedge between Maggie and Lucy. The confusing part came when Maggie was trying to identify which type of ghost this spirit is and she needed this book and all this help the first time around but then later she just switched her mind to a whole different section of ghost and had all this information on how to stop them without any help. Then Mel and Maggie going back in time and encountering there mother when she was pregnant with Macy made a good push forward in the storyline around the mystery of Macy. Then Macy looking more into the mark on Galvin and getting Harry's help on it was fun to see Harry interacting with Macy's friends and trying to figure out what is going on with Galvin. Then just overall this was a really fun episode that was so interesting to watch.

Supergirl Season 4 Episode 7 "Rather the Fallen Angel" Review

James falls in deeper with the Children of Liberty in his efforts to meet Agent Liberty. Meanwhile, Supergirl and Manchester Black follow a lead on Agent Liberty's location, but things take a dark turn. Lena kicks off her first set of trials.

This was a really good and interesting episode that had some very entertaining moments to it. Everything with Kara in this episode was interesting with Manchester Black going against Supergirl's back to try and get closer to Agent Liberty faster. Then the whole scene with her being locked inside the monument was interesting with what all she did to alert James of her presence. Then James continuing to befriend the Children of Liberty and having to go through this big action to prove his loyalty and save his friends was all really well done. Especially in his actions when he finally decided to turn away from the Children of Liberty and fight against them in a way that saved both of his friends. Then everything with Lena was so well done with her going through these first human trails of her new serum. How she chose to approach the situation at first was very interesting with Lena choosing to only call the patient by his code number but then growing to become more familiar and friendly with the patient and suffering a bit when he eventually dies from the serum. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode to watch and see how everything turned out. 

Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 4 "Wet Hot American Bummer" Review

When the Legends discover that kids at a summer camp have disappeared, Sara, Ava, Ray, and Constantine find themselves as the new camp counselors. At camp, Ava struggles to get along with the kids, but Constantine whips up a potion that helps Sara and Ava bond with the children. Luckily, the team finds clues to the whereabouts of the missing kids, but the battle to save them leaves one member in bad shape. Meanwhile, Rory and Zari are tasked with watching the fugitive and Rory finds a kinship with their "prisoner."

This was a really fun and entertaining episode that had a fun storyline to it and it was interesting to see how all the different characters dealt with the situations they feel into. Everything with Ava and Sara was interesting with there different approaches to trying to get information out of the kids. Then the plot around Ava finally getting to experience what it is like to be a kid and how that played into them finding the monster was great. Then seeing Ray and Constantine try and work together was so much fun with how much there personalities clashes. Then the witch who is the monster in this episode was really confusing because they did all this set up saying that the witch is female just to then switch things up and have the witch actually be male was so odd and confusing to follow. Everything with Rory and Zari was interesting with them getting to know Charlie more and figuring out where she stands with the team and really stepping up to help everyone identify that monster. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch.

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 4 "I Put a Spell on You" Review

The Midnighters join forces to protect a weretiger; Fiji takes extreme measures to save Bobo; Patience and Manfred bond over relationship troubles.

This was an okay episode that had some good moments to it but it did get a little long and confusing at points. The whole story with the baby weretiger and Olivia working to take care of it and truly understanding what it's like to have a normal family did make for an interesting storyline for this episode. But everything else around this baby weretiger was really confusing where the mother to this weretiger was looking for the Rev but it was never explained how she knew the Rev or why he was the one she went to for help. Then the whole weretiger family tree between the mother, grandmother, and father of this baby weretiger made no sense to me because they had it as the father being weretiger but never really explaining what the mother or grandmother was besides being the owners of this fighting ring of supernatural creatures. So then the confusing part to me is, did the mother go against the grandmother's wishes and have a child with this weretiger that she was imprisoning or did the grandmother pushed the mother to have a child with the weretiger. Then everything with Fiji was interesting with her wiping his memory of everything that happened between the two of them but things not working out because the fact of their love and attraction being too strong that no magic can stop it so the ending of her turning him into a dog was interesting to see. Then everything with Manfred and Patience was okay but a little confusing and felt a bit like it was adding more drama than what was necessary. Then just overall this was a really fun episode that had a good storyline to it, it just felt like they were missing pieces to the story.

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 10 "Apocalypse Then" Review

The witches prepare for a final epic battle with Michael.

This was a really interesting but disappointing episode because they made all this setup for this big witch vs antichrist fight just over it to fizzle out and be nothing really at all. Everything at the bunker and leading on where episode three left off started out great with all the people who came back and all the back and forth but there Michael just kind of ripped through all the witches without much effort which was all the entertaining to see. The one line by Cordelia and how there will always be witches coming for Michael because he is one and the witches are a legion.

Everything with the time travel ended up with it being a lot of my fears because the time travel concept is something that is hard to maintain and control especially when not introduced right away. So the time travel was completely messed up in this episode compared to the previous episode because last time it showed Mallory only being able to travel for a short time and then went back to her current time while what happened in this episode showed her fixing things and then sticking around back in time and remembering all of what happened previously. So that makes little sense to me and I want to know it that means there are two Mallory's running around now or two Supremes running around in her and Cordelia. Then the fix to stop the Apocalypse also changed a lot of other things in Mallory sticking around and changing other things so like she brought Misty back and stopped Queenie from going to the Hotel Cortez so what changes did that effect in the big final fight at the Cortez.

And the way Mallory killed Michael was just really dumb and written off so heavily as a joke and undermined everything that this season set up for Michael. Which just really confused me because this whole season set up to make us feel for Michael and see where he is coming from so just to kill him off in a mundane way is just so odd to me. Then just overall this was a really weak and disappointing final episode to end an otherwise great season.   

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 5 "Chapter Forty: The Great Escape" Review

Veronica devises a dangerous plan to break Archie out of juvie; Betty finds herself in a race against the clock to save Jughead when takes his investigation a step too far.

This was a really interesting but weird episode that had some good moments to it but it was also just really confusing. Everything with Jughead was interesting with him and some of the serpents playing the game and looking for new quests to go on. Then the blurring on the line between reality and the game was the main thing that was really cool but also confusing. Because I enjoyed how it was shown with Jughead narrating everything the Veronica and Archie were doing as if it was part of the game but it was just weird to see how all those similarities matched up. But seeing everything around the planning on the breakout and how every character played there part and how it all went down was very interesting to see. It was also confusing on the parts with Maddog coming back to life out of nowhere to fight Archie and Joaquin having a mission to stab Archie to gain his freedom. Then I enjoyed the bait and switch they did in order to distract the police and get Archie out of there. The ending was also interesting but confusing with the Warren going through the achenium ceremony and Archie hiding out in the bunker with others taking turns watching over him. Overall this was an entertaining episode that had some good moments to it.
