American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 8 "Sojourn" Review
Michael grows desperate when his warlock allies are slaughtered and enlists the help of unlikely allies in his quest to start the apocalypse.
This was a really interesting episode that was a little slow in how its plot was shown but also it was a nice episode to show more on how Michael ended the world. I really loved the opening scenes where Michael discovers that his allies are dead and the whole confutation between him and Cordelia was so interesting. Then the moments of Michael in the woods was interesting with what he hallucinated and I'm curious to fully know what all the different hallucinations meant. Then the Satanist was really weird with how dedicated they were to Michael even when they just met him. I did enjoy the jokes surrounding what the Satanist thought of as true evil vs what actually is. Then the introduction of Jeff and Mutt was interesting with how they helped Michael and created a new and better Ms. Mead. Then just overall this was a really weird episode that was a little slow and boring but I'm really excited to see what will happen in the next episode now that Michael is gearing up to end the world.

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 2 "The Monster of the Week Is Patriarchy" Review
Manfred investigates a gruesome murder in the hotel; Lem and Olivia's psychic connection drives a wedge between them; Bobo's life is put in danger.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that continued to do a good job of getting into the motions of what makes Midnight. Everything with Manfred and the hotel was interesting with him working to figure out what these murderous ghosts want and what he can do to free them. I really loved the moment where Manfred has both of the ghosts inside him explaining their sides of the story of what lead to there deaths and why are they angry. Then everything with Lem and Olivia was interesting with this eager girl wanting to become a vampire and finding a way to make that happen by tricking Lem. Then just the whole hunt down moment with Lem and Olivia was great with how it was all shown and done with Lem having to use the little information he gathered to find where the girl might go next. Then the discovery that Kai can remove supernatural forces from people makes me really curious to see who might choose to be human again and who might fight against Kai because of what he can do. Then the moments with Fiji and Bobo were okay with them slowly discovering that something is going on but it kind of felt unimportant for the grander scheme of what is going on. Then just overall this was a really fun episode and I'm curious to see what will happen next.
Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 Episode 2 "Witch Hunt" Review
When the magical Time Seismograph goes off, the team finds themselves headed to the Salem witch trials. Sara notices that Zari is taking the case personally when she promises to save a mom, who is being accused of being a witch. However, the team quickly learns that there is a magical creature in the town creating problems they hadn't been expecting. Meanwhile, Nate and Ava work together to try to keep their Time Bureau funding by proving to them that magic exists.
This was a really interesting and fun episode that had an entertaining story to it. Everything around the witch hunting was really interesting with them bringing up Jane Hawthorne and what happened to her and the legends have to decide whether they should interfere with this major event. I do wish they would have gone into more detail on what happened to Salem afterward because they somewhat proved the existence of magic and let Jane go so Salem didn't burn down so what effects did those changed have on Salem or did nothing change. Then the introduction of the fairy godmother was really great with the rules they set up when John couldn't just ban her to hell without banishing the girl the fairy godmother is connected to as well. So how they managed to get Prudence to reject her fairy godmother and fix the mistakes she made was all interesting. Then the conversation between John and the fairy godmother was really exciting where the godmother refused to work for John and said that hell would be better than fight what is coming for John, and that makes me really excited to know what it is that is coming for John. Then the moments with Nate and Ava working to prove that magic exists to Nate's father were so much fun with how they used Ray to do so and how the relationship between Nate and his father grew because of this discovery of what Nate does. I really do hope that Nate doesn't leave the team to join the bureau because he is one of my more favorite characters so I don't want him to disappear into more of a side character. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
The Flash Season 5 Episode 4 "News Flash" Review
Barry and Iris face the ultimate parenting test when Team Flash battles Spin, a savvy millennial armed with meta tech, and a dangerous agenda for their daughter, Nora. Ralph is feeling defeated until unlikely source issues a challenge to help boost his confidence.
This was a really interesting and fun episode that I really enjoyed how it introduced a new kind of meta-human. Everything around Spencer was really great with her using her meta-human phone to help boost her popularity by making the new happen based on what she wrote and hypnotizing people into making the events happen. It was really interesting on how Spencer put a heavy focus on boosting up XS and how she did it by tearing down The Flash. I just didn't get how she thought it would be good to have XS kill The Flash, how would her story make it seem like XS is the hero. Then the big reveal of why Nora doesn't like Iris was a big surprise and really interesting where Iris chose to hide Nora's powers her whole life. Now I'm just really curious to know what happened six months ago in Nora's life that caused her to discover her hidden powers. Then the discoveries with Cicada were interesting with Ralph looking into the masks and Sherloque finding out that Cicada has a bad lung due to the satellite explosion. And it was really great how the two of them just barely missed Cicada when they went to ask some questions. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode that had an interesting story to it.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 6 "Anthropocene" Review
The pressure is on as Max takes on his first annual fundraising gala at the hospital and emotions are high as some of the doctor's families join them for the event. Iggy struggles to break difficult news to his daughter and Bloom and Reynolds continue to deal with the fallout of their argument. Meanwhile, Kapoor and Dr. Sharpe work together to find out what is making a father and son duo so sick.
This was a really interesting episode that didn't have a lot to it, it was mostly about just a lot of small moments playing out simultaneously. Everything with Max was nice with how his work was somewhat of divided in this episode. When it came to the fundraiser it was weird how they chose to make Max's secret weapon a mystery when it was easily Georgia, it was nice to see how Georgia did her work to help Max though where she showed him off to donors by stating how instead of being there talking to people Max is out there being a doctor. Then everything with Max and Reynolds was some of the better parts of this episode where they are dealing with cases at the prison where prisoners are being drugged to be more compliant. And how Reynolds found all this out and got evidence together to hold the right people responsible was really great rather than seeing him get into fights he didn't need to which was his first actions. Then Bloom setting up Reynolds with someone new was an interesting way for her to get over him and know that he won't be coming back for a while. Then Iggy dealing with his family was some nice small moments in this episode where he had to explain to his daughter that there normally is not the same normal for others and how that all works and that was just really interesting to see. Then the bigger side story with Kapoor and Sharpe was a very entertaining story with this father and son having this mysterious illness that no test can figure out. Then the truth of what this illness was and why it was hard to find was really interesting where it was an older version of a common illness that the machines couldn't pick up because the machines were so up to date with the newer stains they forgot the older ones. Then just overall this was a really nice episode with a bunch of small interesting stories.
Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 6 "Death Is Only Temporary" Review
An aging tycoon asks Magnum to find his lost love, who supposedly died 30 years ago; Rick and TC meet an injured fellow vet who is having a hard time adjusting to civilian life.
This was a really great and entertaining episode that had so many fun moments and it was just really interesting to see how everything played out. Everything with the case was really interesting with how the tycoon got this message from a lost love and he hires Magnum to see whether this truly is the women or if it is just spam. Then how the actual people planned out to hide from the cameras and use just the right amount of information to prove themselves as this women was really great especially with how they stumbled upon this information on this women by finding her dead body. Then the actual murder of this women was interesting where she leaves but tried to get back in contact with the tycoon when she discovers she is pregnant but the friend of the tycoon drives her away because the tycoon just recently married the fiend's sister. And a course the murdered women and the friend get into a fight leading to an accident and she dies and the friend decided to cover it up and hide her body. Then how Higgins played into all this was nice with her being the support for the tycoon whenever his dementia started to act up. Then everything with Rick and TC was some really great moments where they were trying to befriend this other vet and the vet just wanted none of it and he thought no one would fully understand. And all the conversations between all of them was so interesting with them talking about how you never fully get over the trauma you just learn to work past it. Then what TC decided to do for the vet was a nice way to end their story where TC offered the vet a mechanic job similar to that the vet wanted before going to war. Then just overall this was a really great episode that had so many entertaining moments to it.

Charmed Season 1 Episode 3 "Sweet Tooth" Review
The sisters are put through witch lessons, but when Macy learns of a mysterious death in her lab, she informs her sisters and together they devise a plan to suss out the demon.
This was a really interesting episode that defiantly had some nice moments to it. Everything around the Harbinger was interesting with the girls discovering that it has a weird reaction to sweets so they decide to try and find it by handing out a lot of really sugary treats. Then the whole conversation between Mel and Angela was interesting with what it revealed about there relationship. Then everything on Halloween night involving the Harbinger was really fun because it stopped trying to hide and everyone just believed it was a really great costume which was so much fun. Everything with Maggie was fun with her deciding to throw her sororities Halloween party at her place and she decided to use magic to make things look perfect. It was really fun to then see the side effect of Maggie using all this magic when bad things started to happen to counteract all the good. Then everything with Macy was interesting with her revealing the some of her backstory and why she has a hard time making friends with others. The only major part that bugged me in this episode was how Mel chose to stop the Harbinger by using this really powerful spell that almost killed both of her sisters, to me that was such a dumb and horrible move I just don't see why she would ever think it was a good idea. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that had some really nice moments to it.
