Loose Ends (Girls 2x01 It's About Time Episode Review)

Hanna and her girl friends (with their respective boys) are finally back!

Girls season 2 opened up where we were left of last year. And it was good.

Let's do it one girl at a time, shall we?:


  • Hanna - still being under Adam's wings for being the reason why he was hit by a truck last season. Adam broke his leg, thereby making Hanna his personal servant (giving her orders and such). But unbeknownst to him, Hanna is already dating someone - played by Community's Donald Glover (and the first black recurring character for the show). Moreover, Hanna's already roommates with her former guy-turned-gay roommate Elijah.

Scottish Nightmare (Downton Abbey Season 3 Christmas Special Episode Review)

As mentioned in the title of this review, the Christmas Special of Downton Abbey's third season is a nightmare for fans. Why?

First, a flat and disappointing episode. 

Second, the death of a major character - as in, if you think Sybil's death was devastating... you might want to think again.

Of Crickets and Affairs (Downton Abbey 3x08 Episode Eight Episode Review)

Downton Abbey had concluded its junior run with an episode which hilighted the solemness and grandeur of the writing, the direction, the actors, and of the scenery. 

Basically, the season three finale tied all untied knots from the past seven episodes, and also it gave us a glimpse of who may not return on the show for season four. UK's Most Watched Television Show really knows how to make viewers feel so much emotions for just an hour. However, I do believe that the finale could have been better. 

As a bonus, I'll share to you - my lovely readers - my top 5 most favorite storylines for this season of Downton Abbey. I think it's pretty amazing how a show with only few episodes every season introduce us to a lot of subplots for the lords, ladies, and servants of the manor.

La La La La Lalalalala (Suburgatory 2x01 Homecoming Episode Review)

Last night I had a pleasant nightmare.. La La La La Lalalalala

Well, the premiere episode of the second season of ABC's Suburgatory was not surely a nightmare. But it was hell lotta' pleasant. 

Bad Nurse (American Horror Story:Asylum Welcome to Briarcliff Episode Review)

That was a crazy wild ride!

American Horror Story: Asylum has finally opened its doors for a brand new ass-kickin' season. If the pilot episode of the show from last year made your minds jumble like there's no tomorrow, this premiere episode confused the hell out of all us. There were the usual scary elements, monsters, crazy characters, religion vs. science, and aliens.

Guns and Prison (The Walking Dead 3x01 Seed Episode Review)

Bang, bang, bang.

The Walking Dead's season opener surely, well, opened with a lot of bang.

The cold open set up the tone of the episode, and of the series - it was dark, fast paced, creepy, and downright outrageous.

Also, the third season premiere of AMC's The Walking Dead did a time jump which was really obvious in Carl's hair and Lori's belly. Another surprising and refreshing thing in this episode is all of the characters - even Carol - know how to use guns and kill zombies. They're not backing down, and as a team, they have one goal in mind: to survive.

Revenge is Green (Arrow Pilot Episode Review)

The CW's much awaited new series has finally premiered... and it was amazing.

Arrow is the modern retelling of DC Comic's Green Arrow, and obviously, it's a origin superhero series.

The show centers around Oliver Queen, who was stranded in an island after the yacht - which also carried his father and "sex friend" who then died - sank into the ocean. Five years later, after everyone thought he's dead, Queen was rescued.

It all Changes ( The Vampire Diaries 4x01 Growing Pains Episode Review)

After a few months of waiting, TVD is finally back!

And it was good. The wait is totally worth it.

Let's do a quick recap shall we? 

Elena is now a vampire thanks to Dr. Pretty Little Liars, Klaus took Tyler's body, Damon is still in cahoots on Elena's decision that she chose Stefan... well, I guess that's pretty it.

Sherlockians (Elementary Pilot Episode Review)

 Ever since it was announced that an American adaptation of UK's Sherlock, fans all over the world went into clamor. Many people have complaint, even the creator and actors of the said British series, do not have anything good to say about this.

Another Door Opens (Once Upon A Time 2x01 Broken Episode Review)

After a long wait, Once Upon A Time is finally back!

The opener episode of the second season of the said show opened more doors of storylines that we could never have imagined. Instead of having answers from what happened in last season's finale, we were overwhelmed with more questions that had arisen.

Everybody Leaves (Grey's Anatomy 9x01 Going Going Gone Episode Review)

Well... that was sad.

After the horrific events of last season finale's plane crash, the doctors onboard of the plane try to do their best to live normally and to forget what had happened to them. But for the two of them (with the exception of Lexie who died in the crash), moving on would be really really difficult.

Favoritism (The Middle 4x01x02 Last Whiff of Summer Episode Review)

I think it is safe to say that this premiere episode of The Middle season 4 is better than the entire third season of Modern Family.

Yup, it's that good.

Preggy Gloria (Modern Family 4x01 Bringing Up The Baby Episode Review)

The Emmys are over and while Modern Family has some celebration to do for taking home the Best Comedy Award for the third time in a row, the show is back to business.

The premiere episode of the fourth season of Modern Family began a day after the events of last season's finale. Gloria just found out that she's pregnant and the best day to announce it to her husband is during his birthday.

The Return of the Yellow Umbrella (How I Met Your Mother 8x01 Farhampton Episode Review)

The yellow umbrella has always been one of the biggest clues in the whole mother mystery in CBS' How I Met Your Mother. It has been a few years since we were given a glimpse of this object, and on the premiere of the 8th season of the said sitcom, the famous umbrella appeared once again.

The episode is divided into two timelines: the present and the future. 

The Mindian Project (The Mindy Project Pilot Episode Review)

I am deeply sorry for the title of this review post. I really want to be clever... but it turned out to be a bit racist.

Anyway...

The Mindy Project is starred in, written and produced by The Office's Mindy Kaling herself. This is her way to explore more facets of comedic writing after her years of stint as a writer and actress in her former NBC sitcom.

Moving Forward (The Office 9x01 New Guys Episode Review)

 On the premiere of the final season of The Office, the show finally did something we never thought a mock-documentary show like this would do... the camera men finally interacted with the casts (well, only with Jim and Pam).

I have entitled this review MOVING FORWARD because this is the episode's main focus are the characters' new ventures in life.

So... What Now (Revolution Pilot Episode Review)

I am really not sure what to feel about Revolution's pilot episode. With all the hype in the show and the credibility of the producers of it, episode one was placed between the lines of mediocrity and quality television. 

So many things had happened in this episode that it became difficult for me to divulge in the characters, especially to Charlie who's obviously the lead star of Revolution. There were fights and battles here and there that it seemed like I am watching a badly written movie where all the writers want is to give a number of unnecessary action packed sequences to the audience.

Tying Knots (Downton Abbey 3x01 Episode One Episode Review)

Are those wedding bells I hear?

Yes it is! Mary and Matthew finally tied the knots in Downton Abbey's third season premiere. But of course, this is Downton Abbey, it will not reach such joyous occasion without some\ bumps and blows along the way.

Time Bomb (Breaking Bad 5x8 Gliding Over All Episode Review)



Walter White is, as we all know, is a ticking time bomb. And what's worse about bombs? When you think it will explode, it will not. But when you least expect it... prepare to die.

Disclaimer: If you have not seen the midseason finale of Breaking Bad, do not proceed. If yes, go on!
