This is Us: Hopes for Season 2

I truly am a glutton for punishment. Upon finishing the first season of This is Us for a second time, some ideas came to mind as what the writers should try and focus on in Season 2.

1. Stop making Kevin such a jacka**

I will admit, that my first viewing of This is Us did not find me liking Kevin. He was egotistical, vain and annoying. I found little sympathy for him during the first half of the series. Compared to some of the more serious storylines his left me a little cold. That feeling started to thaw when we were introduced to his ex-wife Sophie. That made me like him just a little bit.

I hope that when season two kicks in that we find that he has evolved into someone who has a little bit more depth.

2. Kate is a person.Not a number on a scale.

Please give Kate a storyline that doesn't involve her weight. There is more to a woman than her dress size and Chrissy Metz who plays Kate has proven that she can do so much more. A well-rounded character arc is all that I'm asking.

3. Jack is not flawless. He is human.

This kinda blends in with Kate's story. Jack has been portrayed as being the perfect dad, husband, friend etc. That's awesome. But it doesn't happen in real life. He has to have some sort of flaw otherwise I'm not going to believe in him anymore.

I could go on, but these were some of the glaring ones that I saw. I can't wait for This Is Us to return on September 26th on NBC.

Once Upon A Time Season 7 Episode 1 Recap

Goodbye Storybrooke, Hello Hyperion Heights. After six long seasons of "Magic always comes with a price," and "I will always find you," we now are taking Once Upon a Time in a new direction. Thank God. There is still some fresh meat on the bones of this series after all. Don't get me wrong, I adored all the past seasons in their own unique way. (Save for the Frozen half of season 4. We get it, Frozen is a thing. Can we move on, please?) However, it was starting to drag with underdeveloped characters, repeated stories, and foes. When it was announced that a season 7 would air, despite half the main cast leaving, I was intrigued by the possibilities. And now we have come to the fruit of those possibilities: Hyperion Heights. It was a nice send up to the original pilot episode while setting out to be its own story. It makes it very clear from the opening that this isn't going to be the same old story that we've come to know and love. Henry leaves Sto...

It-A Review

For me, the mark of a scary movie is whether not I can sleep after watching one. After viewing It, I walked away terrified that Pennywise was around every corner ready to snatch me up. A sleepless night was in order for me. I can't even begin to express my awe over this production. The cast is superb. There can't be anything more that can be said about Bill Skarsgard other than creepy . His Pennywise the clown is probably the scariest clown I have seen to date. For the moment he appears in the drain, you know that he is evil. The makeup and costuming make him look menacing, scaring the pants off you at every turn. Even while just looking at him without dialogue, you are terrified. The child actors that make up the "Loser" Club are awesome. They managed to take the typical stereotypes of a clique and manage to make them unique and interesting. Bill was a character I could support and cheer for. I adored Richie and his foul mouthed behavior. Between the terror, h...

A show to Binge if you aren't already watching-This is Us

Copyright NBCUniversal Before watching this show, I never saw any of the trailers. I didn't hear a peep about it. It was a rainy Wednesday morning and I was looking to watch the Mindy Project on Hulu. However, my computer decided to have a fit and click on an ad for This is Us on Hulu. Cursing my computer, I just let the video play. I had a coat of paint on my nails and didn't want to risk ruining the keyboard. I told myself that if whatever I was watching was so terrible I would turn it off as soon as the paint dried. But I didn't. I kept watching. I was introduced to three different stories and characters all just living out a birthday. Not a monumental birthday like an 18th or a 30th. Nope, just a run of the mill banner year birthday. Yet all of these characters decide that on this day that life is going to change. Jack becomes a dad. Randall goes in search of his birth father. Kevin decides to leave his sitcom acting job to become a stage actor. Kate decides to...
