2015 Fall Premieres Part 1

Minority Report
I remember seeing early promos for this and thinking "this looks interesting, but I don't know." I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This is one of those shows that wastes no time and keeps your attention from the moment it begins. I don't think I was able to look away from my screen until the commercial breaks and I loved it. I feel like this show just had a bunch of my favorite things in it. First, it's a cop drama. Second, it's set way into the future and there's all this super cool future tech. Third, they did a great job referencing things from today, like Tinder.
I know I usually give new shows 2 episodes before I render a verdict, but I wanted to give you my initial reaction because I liked it so much. I will definitely be tuning in next Monday and most likely each week.

Rosewood
Initial thoughts. It was like CSI Miami but less intense and more fun, but a little corny. I don't know how I feel about Morris Chestnut in a TV series. I think he might be better in movies, but we shall see. I think it has potential so I really have to see more.

Empire
This show is crazy, CRAZY! But, this isn't surprising because we all saw the first season.
Why the rally Lucious?! This man is a murderer. I would've appreciated it so much more if he was actually innocent. I did like the song that Jamal sang for it though.

Grey's Anatomy
Loved it. This show never fails to make me cry in the first few minutes and the music is always on point. I thought it was a classic episode of Grey's. Fun, intense and hits you right in the feels. I just want to mention how much I love Callie and Maggie and how Mer and her sisters are living together! Love it all.

Scandal
The first thought I had after the episode was "but we've seen all this before." I even tweeted that this all happened before. Let me tell you what: Olitz having sexy times, Fitz telling Mellie he wants a divorce, Fitz reducing Mellie to nothing but a trophy wife, Liv being leaked as the president's mistress, etc etc. This all made me think that the coming episodes would be predictable. Like, Mellie's not going to sign and they'll stay married, Olitz will break up, rinse and repeat. I still feel this way but I was wrong about one thing. I thought Liv was going to break it off with Fitz on that balcony at the end, but I was wrong.
Here's what I liked. One, Sally Langston gave me life! I never thought I would say that. Two, I'm so glad that Olivia told Fitz to basically calm down because he was acting like an overexcited puppy with all that talk of getting a divorce and going public. And she was right in saying that they need to fix their ish before they do anything more. Shame they won't get the chance to because of her name and pics being leaked (probably by Elizabeth North). And Fitz will be all like "so what, who cares" and Liv will be like "OMG kill me now."

HTGAWM
I seriously don't know what to say but WOW! I didn't see any of that coming and I am SO ready but so NOT ready for this season. I just want to talk about the ending. It looks like Annalise is dead/dying and that's what they want us to think. I mean, she's lying in a pool of her own blood gasping for air. But, to think that's her own blood and that she breathing her lasts breathes would be too obvious. She could very well be gasping in horror because whoever's blood is on the ground. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Well, that's all I have for this week. Next week I'll be giving my final  verdict on Minority Report and Rosewood, and talking about the season 3 premiere of Sleepy Hollow.

Returning Fall Shows 2015

Here is a list of all the returning shows that I'll be watching this year. As I said before, I will be including a little blurb on how I feel about some of these shows new seasons based on what happened in the previous season(s), most recent season finale, and/or any spoilery info that has come out during the hiatus.

Tuesday September 22
  • Fresh off the Boat, 8:30pm ABC
Wednesday September 23
  • The Goldbergs, 8:30pm ABC
  • Black - ish, 9:30pm ABC
  • Empire, 9pm Fox
Thursday September 24
  • Grey's Anatomy, 8pm ABC
    • I'm excited because Meredith is living with her sisters in her mothers old house. I can't wait to see that dynamic.
  • Scandal, 9pm ABC
    • Marcus is back as a series regular and he's probably the newest member of OPA! I think that's the only thing I'm really excited about. My hope is that we never hear about B613 ever again. Oh and for Olitz, yall know I've been over it for a while. Maybe Fitz will actually get his life together and stop being such a dud. Then maybe I might want them together. MAYBE!
  • How to Get Away With Murder
    • I just recently read that we are going to learn more about Bonnie and Annalise's relationship which is something I really wanted to know about. Also, who killed Rebecca?
Thursday October 1
  • Sleepy Hollow, 9pm Fox
    • What can I say? This show as had it's ups and downs, but I have hope. I think they're hitting the rewind button and take things to back to how they were in S1. I think they'll do kind of a reset so people who haven't watched, can and not feel like they missed anything, but leave things in there for us OG Sleepyheads. From what I've read, there's great things on the horizon. I mean, Joe Corbin is back, Lance Gross is a series regular, and there's a time jump. I'm super excited about all of these things. 
Tuesday October 6
  • The Flash, 8pm CW
    • I love this show SO MUCH! I am so excited about season 2. We get Wally West, we get Iris working with STAR Labs and we get mama West (Vanessa Williams)! I can't wait to find out where she's been and why she's been gone for so long. 
Monday October 12
  • Jane the Virgin, 9pm CW
    • I'm so ready for another season of this crazy show. I just want to know where Jane's baby is.
Friday October 30
  • Grimm, 10pm NBC
    • I don't know what's going on with this show right now. I wasn't happy with the direction they went with Juliette nor do I like the fact that Adalind is pregnant, again. I'm sill curious to see what happens next.

Hey Friends!

Yes, something is a little different here. It was time for me to revamp things around here. This is the first of many changes.
The next change comes with what I'll be posting. I'm still doing reviews on TV shows and movies. There will still more TV reviews than movies, unless some miracle happens and I get to the theater more often or have more hours in the day to watch movies. But back to the TV reviews. I want to try something new. First, I won't just be reviewing a select number of shows; I want to talk about everything that I watch. This means that I probably won't be reviewing every show each week.
The other change is that I want to write about what you want to read about. This means that if something happens on a show and you want to talk about it then find me on social media and let me know. I want to have a conversation with you. I want to make sure that I'm writing about the things you want to talk about.
Lastly, since these shows come on different days of the week, my posts will come out at the end of each week and/or over the weekend. But, if something HUGE happens and we must talk about it ASAP, I'll try and have the post out the day after the show airs.

So to summarize
  • Still doing TV and movie reviews
  • Talking about ALL my shows
  • NOT talking about them all every week
  • Want YOU to tell me what you want to talk about
  • Posts will be at the end of the week unless something major happens, then it will come out the next day.
Also, be on the look out for 2 posts: a list of new shows I'll be checking out and post of all the returning shows I'll be watching. I'll also be giving a little blurb on how a feel about the upcoming seasons for my returning shows.
