The Leftovers ended with “The Prodigal Son Returns” last week and after an hour of more despair and some really horrific and devastating scenes, it looks like Kevin and the gang are starting to heal. Kevin even got along with that dog! Matt helped Kevin get rid of Patti’s body. Kevin then thought Matt was […]
Welcome to Sweden finished its first season on NBC with three episodes this past week titled “Breakups,” “Separate Lives,” and “Home,” and, of course, everything worked out in the end. But it was fun getting there. I really liked the last three episodes, which all had to do with each other. And of course Amy […]
This week’s episode of The Leftovers, “The Garveys at their Best” finally showed us a bit of what life was like before everything got all screwed up. And yes, everything was screwed up back then too. And things were just as weird and kind of sort of supernatural and connected. Patti was Laurie’s patient and […]
Welcome to Sweden had two episodes this week, and they were by far the best episodes so far this season. There were parts that were absolutely hysterical. I loved seeing Bruce’s parents clashing with Emma’s family. They were both a riot, the whole ABBA thing with hilarious, and I’m pretty much obsessed with both Amy […]
Okay, so there are two episodes of The Leftovers left, and I’m always left with so many questions that never get answered. This week, in “Cairo,” Kevin blacked out, which we learned he has been doing this whole time (his missing shirts were even in the woods there!), and kidnapped Patti. Patti and he talked […]
The Leftovers’ “Solace for Tired Feet” focused once again on the Garvey family. Jill was being her same old self. She tried to break the record for longest time being stuck in a refrigerator and ended up getting stuck, and that’s when her grandpa showed up. Those two actually ended up getting along. Kevin was […]
Bruce is still struggling to fit in this week on Welcome to Sweden and it’s affecting Emma’s relationships. Her friends don’t want to invite her to parties anymore and her mom says that Bruce isn’t even trying. Bruce tries to fix it by calling her friend on the phone to get an invite to the […]
This week’s episode of The Leftovers titled “Guest” took a look into Nora Durst’s life. She lost her husband and her children in the Departure and she, like every other character on The Leftovers, is understandably not doing well. We saw just how horribly she was doing during “Guest.” She’s been buying the same food […]
This week’s episode of Welcome to Sweden focused on Bruce trying to get a job. He also struggled with the fact that he has a plain face during this episode, which was a funny bit. His job options were pretty limited though. He decided he absolutely did not want to be an accountant anymore. That’s […]
“Gladys” was a very disturbing episode of The Leftovers. It started out with Gladys, a member of the Guilty Remnant, being stoned to death. It was absolutely horrific and ended with Gladys actually speaking and begging for her life. Gladys wasn’t the only member of the Guilty Remnant to speak though. After Patti started to […]
Welcome to Sweden is just getting better and better. It’s really hitting its stride, and I think that this episode was the best. Bruce was still figuring out his new Swedish life. He was hell bent on trying to get to know new people and his neighbors, but Emma told him that that’s weird in […]
This week’s episode of The Leftovers went back to having multiple storylines. I found Laurie’s storyline to be particularly heartbreaking. The part with the picture frames was completely chilling though. Kevin Garvey had two missions this week on The Leftovers. The first mission was to find the baby Jesus that mysteriously vanished from the manger. […]
I liked the second episode of Welcome to Sweden a lot more than the first episode, and I have a feeling it’s only going to get better as the season continues. The cameos have been great so far and I hope that they continue. I love with things get awkward on TV shows and this […]
This week’s episode of The Leftovers, titled “Two Boats and a Helicopter” was definitely different from the first two. Rather than going from story to story as usual, we got to know Christopher Eccleston’s Matt Jamison a whole lot better than before. He is determined for people to know “the truth” about what happened. It […]
Welcome to Sweden, Greg Poehler’s new show based on his actual experiences following his girlfriend to Sweden, is more cute than the laugh-out-loud comedy I was expecting. That said, it is really endearing and seems really sweet. It came to America and Canada after what I assume to be a successful run in Sweden. Poehler’s […]
The second episode of The Leftovers titled “Penguin One, Us Zero,” delved more into Kevin Garvey. It looks like everyone thinks that he’s going crazy like his dad, and he’s starting to believe it himself. It’s really unclear if the bald man with the pickup truck that was killing dogs was real or not, but […]
I’m really not sure how I feel about The Leftovers. It was intense and definitely depressing and left me with a lot to think about. The Leftovers takes place three years after a mysterious rapture-like event that took 2% of the population. The rest of the world is still trying to understand and get over […]
I tried to drag out the second season of Orange is the New Black out as long as I possibly could. I really did, but that show just sucks you in. I love that Orange is the New Black is on Netflix and that they submit the season all at once, but I have the […]
Leslie’s pregnant! Congratulations Ben and Leslie! This is so exciting. Great, that’s out of the way. Parks and Rec has been going back to some classics this season and they’ve been great. First Greg Pikitis and now the Flu Season. Though this episode didn’t have much to do with the Flue. Larry’s in quarantine and […]
Why am I always so surprised when Parks and Rec is utterly perfect? This episode was simply hilarious. It’s prom time in Pawnee and one girl’s soul hangs in the balance. Actually, April’s soul is kind of in there too. Two girls’ lives will be changed forever at the prom! When Leslie finds out that […]
This season of Girls was kind of a downer. I really hope Hannah ends up going to Iowa, though. I think it would be good for everyone. Somehow I don’t see that happening. Maybe she’ll go and quit. Let’s start with the absolute best part of the season finale “Two Plane Rides.” Caroline has been […]
I just lost a little bit of respect for Leslie Knope. Riggins beats Saracen every time. Seriously. What is she thinking? This episode of Parks and Rec, “Galentine’s Day” was pretty hilarious and there was so much going on. We got a nice surprise when Ann made and appearance. Chris wasn’t around, though. He was […]
Oh Patti LuPone, you ruin everything. This week on Girls, Hannah spirals out of control when she realizes she just might be the Mr. LuPone in her relationship. With her being constantly reminded that she’s supposed to be the creative one, and with her friends seemingly finding success, Hannah intentionally gets herself fired, then she […]
A lot of characters were facing some big changes this week on Parks and Rec. Most of them were good changes, even if it did take a while for some people to figure it out. Ron secret is out! At least, it’s out to one more person, for now. It’s only a matter of time […]
This episode of Girls made me really uncomfortable, like season one levels of discomfort. I’m not saying it was bad, necessarily, but it was so hard to watch and there really wasn’t a single moment in there to lighten the mood and provide me with some relief. Yes, my new favorite guy, folk guy (I […]
Ron has a son! And not even he can keep from baby talking to him. He can, though, impart some of his Swanson wisdom. Frustrated with government life and people getting into his business, Ron takes off with his son and finds an empty floor in city hall. He tells a construction crew that he’ll […]
