Black-ish premieres tonight, anyone else going to watch it.
Total Divas
Episode #3: "Roadside Rumble"
I was really surprised that Nattie lost her patience with Summer even though you could tell it was nearing the boiling point. Because all Summer does is cause trouble it's like she thrives on being a jerk and that's her way of getting attention.
Meanwhile, Brie was getting stressed out trying to figure out another way for her and Bryan to earn more money. Since she's taking time out to be with her husband while he continues to recuperate, she thought they should try to run Bed and Breakfast. I'm surprised the two of them didn't think of writing a green living book since they are into that lifestyle. But I have to agree with John Cena in regards to Brie wanting to borrow money that's too much of a risk.
I'm glad everything worked out with Eva and her husband trying to plan their wedding. I can understand why she wanted her husband to convert to her religion but I can also understand why he stood his ground with not wanting to.
It looks like on next week's episode that Brie is still stressing out and taking it out on both her husband and her sister while Trinity maybe having some health problems. And Rosa maybe trying to expand on her friendship with Nattie.
Forever
Episode #1: "Pilot"
Rating: 5 stars
I'm completely hooked already, you hear that ABC. Do Not Cancel this show. This could easily become one of new favorite shows.
Ioan Gruffudd is perfect as the immortal Medical Examiner Dr. Henry Morgan and I love the chemistry he has with Detective Jo Martinez (played by Alana De La Graza). Dr. Morgan can be a little annoying with easily diagnosing things but that part of his charm.
I like the reveal on Judd Hirsch's character that was really interesting. Both the writing and acting were great for this first episode. I can't wait to watch the second one.
Gotham
Episode #1: "Pilot"
Rating: 1 star
While Gotham could easily become one of my least favorite shows.
The first episode of Gotham wasn't exactly spectacular, it was more like torturous to watch. I found it to be boring and slow moving with most of the dialogue being really awful. The bad acting and poor story line really ruined this. It felt like I was watching a low budget film. First episode in and it's not leaving me eager to watch more episodes that's for sure.
I did like the part with Catwoman in the beginning of the show, the actress seems to have a knack for showing Selina's mysterious yet playful side. All without barely saying a word. Unfortunately the actor who plays the young Bruce Wayne is truly lacking acting skills. I hope they keep his parts to a minimum because he's really terrible.
I found original character Fish Mooney (played by Jada Pinkett Smith) to be an amazing combination of crazy and intriguing. While Ben McKenzie did an okay job of portraying Jim Gordon even though he was a little dull and boring in some scenes. But so far I'm not sold on this new take on the Penguin he's more The Adams Family instead of being a menacing and deadly "high society" criminal. And he's such a weak loony that he's laughable.
Why was Detective Renee Montoya so forgettable? She was a boring and useless character while Harvey Bullock was simply great as a crooked cop. Did anyone else think the Riddler or Edward Nygma sucked? Why was he even there? He didn't add anything to the scene. Certainly nothing that Gordon and Bullock couldn't have found out by reading a ballistics report. Poor Poison Ivy this is how they chose to write your origin story. And Jim's girlfriend Barbara was another useless character, they could have waited to bring her in and preferably with a better actress. Oh Alfred, what happened to you? He's so crass and undignified and downright unsavory. Hard to imagine Bruce growing up to be such a sophisticate with this Alfred around to raise him.
I thought the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had the monopoly on bad actors but Gotham could definitely give them a run for their money with having some of the worst actors on a series. Most of the actors were awful with the exception of Mooney, Gordon, Bullock and Catwoman (who by the way didn't say much but was still a better actress than most on the show and that alone tells you how bad they really are).
This first episode was really bad, it's pretty much fast forward worthy except for the scenes with Fish Mooney, Catwoman and some of the ones with Gordon and Bullock. I'm going to give the second episode a chance since Catwoman seems to be the focus, hopefully it will be much better.
