Episode 6 of The Silo, Season One, reveals the Silo Monitor Center, Jules has a very different perspective from the Silo than many of the people living in it, since she met George she got sucked into this conspiracy that George was trying to unveil but unfortunately for both he ran out of time after he was found dead, allegedly he either jump from one of the stairs rails or someone pushes him; Jules lost interest on the conspiracy theory, the conspiracy has been proven to get you killed after George died and Holston was sent out to clean, but she did step in as a Sheriff initially with the intentions to find out what really happened to George not because Holston ask her too or because it was the right thing to do, serve when duty calls, it was mainly to figure out who killed George but recent events like the death of the Mayor and Deputy Marnes have actually put work on her hands and a motive to be a real Sheriff trying to find out if this conspiracy George was obsessed to reveal also killed this two characters that now were so close to her, down the road this events also push Juliette away from persuing her first goal letting her to think its time to go back home and forget everything that happen but she has a great mentor in Martha who tells her to stay firm on her believes and finish what she started, the seek for the truth of George death and indirectly figure out if there is really something more than the Silo itself out there, it took Juliette a few minutes to put her shit together and move forward, she is after all a women with a very strong character and mind of her own who rarely let others influence on her believes but its hard not to when others are one or two step ahead, on this episode its confirm that everyone on the Silo is been watched both by video and audio, they can see you and listen to your conversations, they know what you did, where you at and what you said, this circuanstances will make you doubt and probably whats exactly what happen to Juliette, yes at first she was chocked by what Kathleen told he about George but she should probably trust more George if she really knew him and think that some things he did he had to do in order to move forward with his investigation, he was constantly walking out of the Silo Law line and probably could not be as straight forward as Kathleen or Juliette may wanted too, women more often than men are hardly impact on their decisions by love, it can even make Juliette doubt about her believes after all she is human, mixed feelings almost tip her over.

From all these DOOMS DAY TV series I think Silo gets very close to what will happen to the planet and the human race if things go south with the climate, humans might be forced to live underground, it really surprises me how on the series things like this candy dispenser, at least that’s what it looks like, is banned, Judicial make it illegal for anyone to have something like it, there is a lot of truth on George words when he said: “why do they make it a risk to our lives to have them?”, the answer to that question is that it sparks to more questions like from where did it come from, are there any more like it? when and why is it here? , these are questions that lead to the main question, why are we hiding on this Silo? because so far nobody mentions why they lived inside the Silo, the only thing close to a reason is that the “founders” knew better and put them there but who are the founders and why did they build the Silo, Curious George knew better and was working on answering this question, the big question.

Source

That same little plastic ducky started an investigation and almost broke apart Juliette and Billings, even on the pact they had those things like this are the gateway to criminal activity but it’s not the object the problem it’s the questions that it raises among the people on the Silo, plus if we think about it there must be a lot of people that is not sane inside that enclosure, yes the Silo is very big and sometimes looks like a very small city on the inside it still a close environment.

Source

In episode six we get to see Judge Meadows, the person who is “supposed” to be in charge of the Judicial department but in fact, it’s very clear that its all an illusion, Robert Sims is clearly who dictates the tone of the conversation in the room, she clearly looks manipulated by Sims and also looks sick, wouldn’t be strange that in the future she dies because she was slowly poison.

Source

A living example of someone who probably almost got killed because of having or dealing with relics in the past and has now stopped caring about them is Patrick, he has the look of a guy who is trying to change his life, not the most honest man on the Silo probably but for sure looks afraid of having anything to do with relics as he explains how it destroy his life, he gave Juliette the only name he could, the only dealer he could rat out but in fact, it was because Judicial already knew about her, Juliette is looking for answers behind the plastic duck relic, answers that could lead her to the murder of the mayor but in fact takes her to a dark corner.

Source

When Juliette took the Sheriff’s job she did it for love, she wanted to figure out who killed George as she was so sure he didn’t commit suicide, a recent event especially starting the investigation of where this relic came from, got her to almost change her mind, take in consideration she wanted to know because initially, George gave it to her so she knew anyone who got it after that probably got it from George, Julliete fix George watch because she truly loves him and makes her feel special but finding out that he used other people to continue his quest to unveil the answer to the big question got her think twice if he really love her or was she just part of his quest? Kathleen, the woman on the second picture, almost got Juliette doubt of George’s true motives, Juliette almost quit and went back to mechanical.

Source

The minute Juliette talk to Kathleen, Sims got notified, Sims brings Bernard (temporary mayor) to question her motives because they knew Kathleen hold some information that might raise the same questions George had about the Silo. Juliette manages to shake them off for the time but after a second visit to Kathleen, she gave Juliett a book that not even Sims knew about, a relic before the Silo, until now civilians don’t know they are been watched including Juliette.

Silo is a great series, from episode one it got me hooked, on every episode we get more details about the conspiracy that the management of the Silo runs, and it’s not regular management, its those behind the curtain moving the strings like Bernard and Sims, now when know how they are always a step ahead of everyone but Juliette is slick and will find her way out, it incredible how everything goes back to George, the relic she is investigating might take her to solve three murders but I think Sims is going to stop her, it’s hard for Juliette to do her job when there is a monitoring center with multiple employees watching and listen to her. Episode six also shows Juliette’s decision to find out who killed George and that she really loves him, sometimes you just have to believe in your judgment, even though Kathleen told her he probably used them both Juliette still went back to find out the truth because she loved George, it didn’t matter if he used her, what matter is the moment she spend with him and what she felt when they were together, like when she fix the watch just because watching him happy make her feel the same, that’s true love.

Drops of God: Legacy – Season 1 – Episode 6 – Recap

September 8, 2023September 25, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

As every other Episode, Episode Six of Drops of God is a storm of mix feelings, at times its very confuse to understand what Alexander was thinking when he thought about all this test and contest, on one side I can see him as a mad man who just want to complicate his children life’s more than it is, he never spend time with them as a father when they were adults and now that he is dead may be he came up with this contest to make their life’s miserable or he was really a philosophical guy who truly wanted to expand their knowledge and give them the opportunity to continue with his business and legacy but wanted them to be prepare for what was next.

Camille at first was the little ugly duckling, she couldn’t smell or taste alcohol but always had that hidden talent, she could turn out to be a great sommelier, she proves himself on this episode because it was not about the taste or smell of the wine, it was the experience, during the series she and her father have mention how a wine can make you feel happy or sad, once she even said she heard music, I think that’s possible changing someone’s mood with wine or any other drink depending one what’s that make the person react is it the smell, taste or a combination of both, at the end its all a chemistry, the human body can be very impulsive and react different ways to certain combinations of flavor and smell so it was never about the fruits and flowers on the painting it was about the story behind both the painting and the wine Alexander choose to match the painting.

There is something that I should have seen coming and it was Luca interest on the Ledger Guide, on the previous episode he asks Camille to continue with it, I knew it was a great business for him but never though he was using Camille all this time just for the Ledger, I bought the story of how good of a friend he was for Alexander but the truth is that he was doing all this for his own benefit, he knew Camille had no chance against Issei so may be he thought is she wins great I get a hold at Alexander wine collection and she continues with the Ledger that was the first target but then if she doesn’t win at least get her to continue with the Ledger Guide so he can keep getting profits from the Ledger Guide also power as all the winemakers on the guide fear Alexander, at least that was the description given by Elisabetta, after the trip to Italy looking for this wine that match the flavors of the painting and understanding it was about the experience and not the flavor or smell, Camille also understood that the Ledger Guide was dangerous and hold too much power over wine makers so she didn’t want to continue it, she told Luca it was her final decision and this is when he who her his true face, got mad as fuck, yell at her, told her how he would make sure she get crush by Issei and loose, throw her out of his restaurant and show her he was manipulating her all this time.

Episodes are not more balance between Issei and Camille, at first it was all Camille but on this episode we get more drama from the Tomine Diamonds, with his father gone Issei start investigating the reasons and how his parents got together to find out his real father is Alexander, without physicals proof yet but things start to make sense so he put his mother Honka “on the horns of a dilemma” either she tells him the truth or he takes his father comb for a DNA test and figure out the truth by himself, she had to give in to keep it a secret just between them to avoid public shame since she is part of a very proud family.

Source

Issei goes savage mode on his mother Honoka, when she asks if he have heard anything from his father he answers “the one who’s dead or the one who’s disappeared?” probably the worst slam down of all episodes so far and its not because she lied to him, this is the result of many years of resentment, the way she treat his father and him too, how cold she is all the time like she doesn’t enjoy been with any of them, this when he threat her to take his father comb for a DNA test or she tells him the truth, she didn’t have to say a word after she took the comb from his hands so its true, Issei father is Alexander.

Source

Lucky for Issei life takes from him but also gives him happiness back, I don’t know how because I consider it too fast but may be he just like him, the way he talks, acts, cook, he has all the swag to pick up girls although Issei doesn’t talk too much but Yurika, the reporter that was covering his story now helping him to locate his father, falls for him and they match that day, it was not all dark clouds for Issei.

Source

Camille decided to go to Italy, Milan, since the painting his father choose for the contest is from Fede Galizia, she takes Lorenzo with her and stay at a local house that servers as motel, they ask the owner Elisabetta where they could find the Galizia’s house and she answer “…fascinating, a lot to learn” like she probably knew something they didn’t, but they got no where so Elisabetta told her to be persistent, Camille didn’t mean it the wrong way but then she push wine makers into let her taste their wines using the Ledger Guide name as a method of pressure so they all accept without asking many questions. When Elisabetta find out about it she was pissed at Camille and her father, saying they were bullies using the Ledger Guide power against wine makers but their thoughts change after Camille taste Elisabetta family wine and discover the real connection between the painting and a bottle of wine, it was Elisabetta’s family wine Casa dei Fossati, it was a great story how Alexander compare Elisabetta and her father bond with Fede and her father Nunzio, this two pair of father and daughter work together to produce a master piece, one in a bottle of wine and the other on a painting.

Source

Camille never saw this coming, she basically gets assaulted by Lucas after she insisted not to continue with the Ledger Guide, on her trip to Italy she finds out and think that the Guide have ruin many peoples life, it holds too much power probably same as his father felt there was a monopoly in France when he was trying to become a professional and exactly what force him to go to Japan to start a new market, Lucas goes all savage and tells Camille he will make sure she gets defeated by Issei but what he doesn’t know is that Issei finds out she is his step sister and that will probably bring them close and work together, Issei looks like a nice guy and honest so that’s probably how he will react when he tells Camille the truth about Alexander been their father.

The reason for the contest is now more clear than before with Issei confirm his father is Alexander, also the fact that Camille find out how powerful the Ledger Guide is, this was probably planned by Alexander too as its the same reason why he went to Japan and start a new market when there was a monopoly in France that would not let him grew his ideas probably he wanted his son and daughter to learn this and continue his legacy with a better direction, at first the contest look like a twisted plan to make them miserable and fight each other for a prize but now its looking like he want to bring them closer, he never had either the opportunity or the words to achieve this since he was push out by both Honoka and Marianne, Issei and Camille mothers, so he build and empire that will unite them in the future.

Class of 09: The Fitness Test – Season 1 Episode 2 – RECAP

September 7, 2023September 22, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

The first two episode of Class of 09 show that future where humans stop trusting on what they can do or not and decide to base human behavior on possibilities, Teyo is a master at doing this and the results are positive although is a practice that may create the wrong impression for those affected by the system, those who either get arrested or some how halt before they could commit a crime, in present days that method doesn’t exist, you cant get arrested for a crime you haven’t commit yet, for Teyo is pure mathematics and profiling people and there is a long line of people after him, those who have been intervene by the system and they think its unfair for them but Teyo thinks about the effectiveness and the victims the FBI can safe, its all Minority Report from the start.

The interesting part will be how all this characters build up their stories, Teyo, Poet, Nazari, Lenix, how they all graduate and start their carriers from the bottom all the way to the top, going back and forward between three timelines might be confusing for some people but I find it interesting, makes you to connect dots as you are watching the episode, this TV series has good acceptance by the audience usually with over 7/10 per episode on IMDB.

Episode 6 is more about the struggles of Tayo to start at the FBI, make it and stay a the top, he is not the gym type of guy so it was obvious he would have troubles passing the physical test to become an FBI special agent he was probably ashamed of his shape because all the other guys on the locker room were fit and he was a bit over weight but he has a lot of determination, a very analytic guy, study people, profile them to stay steps ahead somethings showing he is too cold as time goes by specially when he is at the top as FBI director.

Source

Its only the second episode so its normal that we still have some of this first episodes focus on giving background of the main characters, in this case its Teyo everywhere, it starts with his class taking the physical exam, one and a half mile under twelve minutes and twenty four seconds for the men and fourteen minutes for the women, he is out of shape and initially failed, its true that some agents will become very important desk agents, them do most of their work with their brain and field agents are usually in better shape but when they are starting at the academy its the same rules for everyone, doesn’t matter what they want for them in the future they all have to go through the same training, Teyo shows since the first episode he is a desk agent, how he profile people and understands how the system works, that’s is his best skill analyze others and try to predict what will be the outcome of a situation, he does something similar with one of his college how tries to bring him down after he failed the test basically telling him to quit but Teyo knew there was something more to it.

Source

Teyo is send out with Agent Nuñez to visit Mark Turpirik a wealthy man who lives in the country side, this was in the present of the story line 2023, Mark has a large amount of followers, in his defense all he is doing a great service to the community by joining all this broken men who lives and work their farms, mostly forgotten by the society but he brings them together and gives them a place and purpose to keep going, it seems that part of the country side has a lot of suicides and homicides, he even compare his movement with the natives who have their reservation a share of the country their own space.

Teyo knows why the are there and his mission, as I mention he is very good at profiling people, Mark was already interviewed by the FBI and the previous agents found nothing, agent Nuñez went with Teyo without knowing why they are really visiting Mark if they have no warrant and previous agents found nothing, not that they had to tell her the mission but she didn’t get it, Teyo mention they can be provocative and reveal things just by showing up, he is hoping to make Mark nervous for a second visit from the FBI provoke him to make a mistake because the FBI thinks this movement could be harmful and probably under the hood is a conspiracy against the FBI, turns out they were right, agent Nuñez help by Mark’s wife finds a basement full of proof that Mark is about to hit the FBI. The cover of this post is Teyo after a shooting with Mark’s people, while they were leaving him and agent Nuñez were shoot at and he had to go all Die Hard to save his ass and Nuñez.

Source

There was a little bit about Poet on this episode but a very interesting comment from Nazari who Poet will have to spy on in the present timeline 2023 it seems that doesnt end well since on a conversation with Lennix she mention it has been nine years since she talk to Nazari and now she might need her help with a key card that Amons left her with some code on it, Nazari told Poet her thing is saving people, she lend her money to stay and now wants to help Teyo train for his next physical exam, this might be true and probably why Amos Garcia was looking for her, choose her to bring out the truth about the FBI department, this in the future timeline 2034.

Source

This is the guy who try to make Teyo quit, well it seems Teyo profile him correctly, they guy had a racist attitude after attempting to brake a sprint record saying he is now the fastest “white trainee”, you cant come up with that attitude at the FBI specially if you are just a trainee, Teyo pick it up fast and told him he has now been reveal basically saying he expose himself, the FBI is constantly after any kind of racist supremacy movement and this guy behavior fits the profile.

Source

Humans tend to get cocky when they are at the top, we usually think nothing can bring us down and its worrying how Teyo while talking to a senator about the system compares it to something send from heaven like it was created by God himself, he has no hope in humans or even the law, for him profiling people before they could or try to commit a crime is more important than law itself as long as the system keeps bringing positive results, on the other hand the senator tells him not everyone sees the system as a savior.

From what I have seen so far the hero might turn into a villain, Teyo might get consume by power in the future, he is so good at his job that he could turn to be a victim of his own success, can you imagine him getting arrested by the system he created, Teyo becomes a prodigy at the FBI and goes up all the way to the top, on his way up he makes more enemies than friends, the only two that kind of stay close are Lennix and Poet but they had a relationship at some point that didn’t end bad so that’s probably why but it looks like work and success got Teyo away from everyone leaving him alone. If its true that the FBI has turn against the people and might be corrupt or manipulated as Amos says then in the future probably Nazir, Poet and Lennix might go after Teyo to reveal the truth, I’m very exited to what comes next.

The Wheel of Time: A Taste of Solitude – Season 2 – Episode 1 – RECAP

September 6, 2023September 6, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

The Wheel of Time, probably my favorite TV series with House of The Dragon, the second one soon to have its second season but be sure that The Wheel of Time doesn’t fall short. The Wheel of Time is a now a TV Series based on the book series of the same name by Robert Jordan, as most of the time I have not read any of the books, from what I have look up on its Fandom page its a fifteen book series that started back on 1990, a world full of magic where women for the most part are the ones in control of the power, the ones that can wild The One Power, men are usually the destructive side of the story, the very few men that can wild the power usually end up corrupt close to destroying everything on their path and its the mission of the Aes Sedai, to stop this men drunk in power but there is a prophesy that the Dragon will be reborn, the Dragon is the champion of light that will fight against The Dark One who has come to earth to destroy it.

Moiraine Damodred (the women in blue) took Rand al Thor (top right white bold guy) to The Eye of The World to fight the dark one, she thought that the Rand was the Dragon, the chosen one, it seem that the five kids she took under her wing back on season one they are all powerful but who is the real Dragon, Rand tried to fight Ishmael but he doesn’t have the experience, training or power to do so, after the encounter with Ishamael they all split and are now on their own path. Moiraine was probably the one who took the worst part as she cant not touch the power anymore and her Warder, Lan Mandragoran, the warrior who protects her, each Aes Sedai usually has a Warder to protect her but there are few exceptions, their bond has been broken leaving Lan with a lot of questions and Moiraine in solitude as she now feels empty inside.

Source

At the beginning of season 2, Ishamael is seen with a girl who was initially running away from three Trolloc that were in the yard of the place she was staying, inside there was a meeting from different people who were cover up in black ropes, the Dark Social meeting. Ishamael takes the girl outside and show her that the Trolloc is probably afraid, he is not a monster and both pet the Trolloc.

Latter during the episode the same girl was been chase by Padan Fain who was seen at the Dark Social meeting, he smile at her but latter on he was seen chasing her, I wonder if she is the Dragon or this are scenes from another time and the girl is just a representation of a future Aes Sedai.

Source

Egwene (left in white) Nynaeve (middle in white) form part of the five potential Dragons that Moiraine took under her wing, after season one they both went back to The White Tower to become novice and learn how to control their powers, both usually can only wild their power when they are under a lot of pressure, fear, anger, they has to start from the bottom as most Aes Sadai do, Egwene has all the willing to learn but Nynaeve on the other hand refuse, she is hard headed and feels she do not belong there but at the same time wont leave because she is there to protect Egwene, latter on we will find out that this is not so true and that formula doesn’t work anymore.

Source

Moiraine has been looking for a sign, she has been meditating and figuring a way to get back in touch with the source, trying to figure out what will be the next move and if the battle between Rand and Ishamael was the last or the first one, she talk to a sailor who brought her a poem and a rock, a heart stone, the power was found next to the heart stone written in blood, the sailor is been follow by Shadow Spawns, creatures of The Dark One.

Things between Moiraine and Lan are very tense, she doesn’t tell him much and he is lost without her, for some inexplicably reason she keeps pushing him away, not sure if she feels he will die for nothing protecting her or if she doesn’t need him to protect her anymore, the bond between Warder and Aes Sadai is close to what loves feels, its said that the Warder can feel everything his Aes Sedai does, if she is afraid, sick, in pain, worry, not been able to know all this things from Moiraine is killing Lan and he is doesn’t seem to be patient enough to know that Moiraine doesnt want him close for now, he thinks he know her because they had this bond before but you never stop knowing a person, you cant go through all circumstances in life with everyone you think you know.

Source

At The White Tower Aes Sedai fight for power, they all do in some way, Liandrin Guirale is part of the Red Ajah, those Aes Sedai who police the misuse of the power, they have no Warder and are very powerful, Liandrin has shown in season one how she show no mercy for the enemy, she is trying to show Nynaeve her true power because she thinks she is the best weapon that has come to their door step in over a thousand years, the perfect weapon against The Dark One, she tries to make Nynaeye to focus her anger and wild the power but she sort of understand Liandrin just wants to manipulate her.

Source

Next to Liandrin is Mat, who is in a very comfortable “jail” because he has a history of taking a dagger from a place that was full of shadows, shadows that belong to The Dark One, he got posses by this dark power that was on the dagger but at the same time he was feeding from it becoming more powerful like he was destine to use the dark power, now Mat is under observation, prisoner at The White Tower, seems that Liandrin is the one in charge to watch him.

I didn’t expect episode one to be full of action, this are very sad moments for Moiraine and Lan, moments to meditate and figure out whats coming next now that she is in disadvantage since she cant wild the power, we don’t know where all other five main characters are so there are five stories to talk about probably during the first three episodes, we get close to four of them but mainly just Egwene and Nynaeve the most part, there still Rand, Mat and Perrin story after Rand went to The Eye of The World, Moiraine has been exile from The White Tower but she has decided to go back even if she dies trying and that’s what almost happen close to the end of episode one, I’m sure she wont die that easy but Land had some work to do, I didn’t want to spoil the only action scene of the episode.

What to watch on September 2023

September 5, 2023December 1, 2023 SkipTvAds

September is going to be fire with the upcoming Tv Series, at the moment of this post one of them already roll out, two of this five tv series come from solid background that is Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead and The Continental from the John Wick Universe, The Wheel of Time after a solid season one comes back plus two series that I’m sure wont disappoint they are The Changeling and Gen V, I’m all in on the first four although Gen V doesn’t excite me that much since its a spin off from The Boys a series that I don’t like that much due to its dark humor, sadistic and a bit extra violent.

Source

Prime Video ordered a second season of their epic series a half year before the first season premiered. That should tell you something about the streamer’s investment in Rafe Judkins’ fantasy juggernaut. Word has it, these new episodes will have bigger action, set pieces, and emotional stakes.

Source

The Wheel of Time

The first season was fire, so far I have seen the first to episodes and they were a bit slow although we coming from Moraine loosing her ability to touch the source, all her powers are gone and the five kids the once took under her wing are spread out each living their own path but soon with meet once again, so don’t expect action right out of the back of the first episode on season 2, I have not read any of the books, if Im not mistaken its a 15 books story that started back on 1990, I’m sure they have more details that are not into the TV series so for sure worth the reading for any book worm, season one receive high scores around internet starting at 7.1/10 on IMDB probably the site that most people criticize without much base IMO so consider it a very high score, release date September 1.

Source

The Changeling

From what I have read about this series it has some vibe like Servant (2019), “fairies” take a mans kid and left back a creature that looks like his baby, its a Victor LaValle’s novel adaptation, at times I feel it might sound ridiculous them trying to pretend nothing is wrong with the kid just like in Servant but I hope the story around the other characters keep the series alive, this kind of confusing stories are not successful all of the time and it could be worst if they move back and forward in the time line of events, just speculating on what might happen, release date September 8.

Source

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

BAD ASS Daryl Dixon comes back to the screen, I never finish watching The Walking Dead, at the moment don’t even remember why but I think I got tired, to be honest at times it was depressing but I’m willing to watch it all over, the Daryl Dixon is one of the many spin off that will come out from the original Walking Dead, just as recently came out The Walking Dead: Dead City, the story is post the eleven seasons of the main series, I guess Daryl split out to continue his journey, I’m probably going to spoil the seasons I never finish but it is what it is for me, release date September 10.

Source

The Continental: From the World of John Wick

If you saw any of the John Wick movies you must be very familiar with The Continental, a network of hotels around the world that operate as neutral ground for criminals, mostly bounty hunters, professional assassins, in the image above young Winston Scott who turn out to be a great friend of John Wick, same as Constantine this is another series that every Keanu Reeves fan would love to see more of it, even Keanu admit that if there is a role he wants to play again is John Constantine but who knows if we will ever see him again as John Wick, at least this time there were four movies and the last one put up a good ending to the story, although having tv series from the John Wick Universe is a great addition to the fans, release date September 22.

September is going to be full of great series, this are just a few and for me the ones I will be looking for three of them will be great to watch with VR googles only to keep 100% focus plus they will be full of action, I already start The Wheel of Time Season two and planing to release my recap of episodes 1 and 2 before the end of this week, Gen V is a wild card I will give it a try to not too excited about it.

This is probably a series of articles that I will keep posting at the beginning of each month, I also got a few tech related post that can help other manage their video library and have a better experience at consuming online content too. From the time I was away working on a set of content I’m behind on other series that I plan to post the rest of the episodes RECAP.

Trying to send a message to Alex, she didn’t say anything at the moment but look like wanting to cry while she hold his hand, when ever she was pissed for some reason she quickly take it on others, for example her neighbor Emma who was a very kind woman, she talks a lot but was nice, the dark side of Alex have no mercy and quickly told her she didn’t care for her AT ALL!!! , on the last three episodes of this season we quickly see how dangerous Alex was, its like her character comes from been a normal person that’s at first when she was with Dan, first episodes where everything was great between them and she was happy to the point where the series start really tell who Alex was.

Clay kept trying to bond with Alex, kept telling her its ok to have problems and its ok to be herself and cope with her problems with her mental health, its weird because it doesn’t look like love, it looks like pity or compassion based on what he saw his mother go through and I think that’s what upset Alex, she might have metal health problems but she is not stupid and constantly bother how Alex try to “help” her, probably if he kept so playing along she probably stay with him and never be part of Dan’s affair, that would be a twist to the story and probably Clay was the right person to her but he rush things instead of waiting for the right moment to have an opinion about Alex problems because they were just dating, they haven’t even fuck once and he already want to help her.

At the time all this happen Clay use to work at Legal Aid, Dan had a few people over there that didn’t like how much power he had, how successful he was and some times how he make wining a case so easy to do so it was obvious that when Dan fall he had no hope, he had no chance, he was too big to fail and he did fail so Dan became a trophy for the system.

Source

This was the exact moment when Alex got tired of Clay trying to correct her, remind her of what she said or not, with age this is a natural thing for humans to repeat things or forget what they said a few days ago but I have a feeling Clay wanted to make it all about her mental problems, like anything she does wrong has to do with it and its probably that he was obsessed with this topic because of his mom history mental health, so Alex telling Clay to fuck off had nothing about she been crazy or not, as any other human she got tired of him trying to correct her and been pity.

Source

At first Dan didn’t have the right name of Clay, he and Mike thought it was a Biff, Cliff, Smith something like that but they had to go to Legal Aid and ask, waiting for them was Ruth another person who back in the day didn’t like Dan for what ever reason but mostly the obvious, his power, his success, the most expecting thing to do, don’t help Mike, that’s what her order to the department, Ruth was just one of the many people that were not friends with Mike mostly because he was with Dan.

Source

If I had to make a list of Mike and Dan “enemies” I would be out of ink and paper, deputy Ibarra also didn’t want to do anything with their investigation, after all its a fifteen year old case so he was off the hook although at some point he was also chased by Alex but never said anything about it formally and was not called to testify on Dan’s case, we start see how the narrative of Dan been a trophy to the system starts to pick up.

Source

Earl Broker, another one, in this case a crime investigator who was not part of Dan’s fan club, he and Dan had history and when he took the case he prepare Dan’s bed, set him a trap and Dan fall for it but the problem is not that he lie to Earl, the problem is that he had an affair with Alex so it wouldn’t help if he said the truth or not if no body take the blame for Alex murder with proof, because someone taking the blame for her murder doesn’t stop Dan been a big fish for the system to catch and put behind bars, even under that circumstances he could still end up in jail but its true that the worst thing he could do is lie to Earl.

Source

The only two that had Dan’s back when he didn’t had the money for his attorneys defense was Julia and her husband Arthur

This is something definitely helpful to remember down the line, at the time Julia had cancer and was dying slowly, Arthur love her very much, they were Dan and Beth best friends, it was a lot of money they were going to spend on Dan’s defense, Beth’s father didn’t want to help because he didn’t have the money and also said he wouldn’t even if he had it.

Source

I don’t like rushing things and at the moment of this post I haven’t seen the other episodes so I’m not sure whats next but I don’t think we are getting a second season, hope we do.

On this episode we see how Ellen starts to get more attention than in other episodes, I’m not talking about screen time but things related to her specifically, we have to see her from time to time talking with Dan but she starts to stalk Stella and Richard, Stella a student partner and Richard a professor who have a relationship, Ellen at firs tries to tell Richard to stop it because its for the best this based on how Dan’s affair end up with Alex say Ellen had that example but now she is following them so I wonder if she was doing this because she wants Richard for her?? and not because she is doing him a favor

The most interesting thing we could get out of this episode is how bad Alex was mentally before he met Dan, at the same time she was still conscious of her actions proof of this is how she got tired of Clay but at the same time proof that she had temper issues is how she told Emma that she didn’t care at all about her, Alex had serious issues before she met Dan and I’m worry Ellen becomes a monster similar to Alex, would be very ironic but after all this is all fiction, the most obvious topic from this episode is how Dan had no chance and back then and even now everyone was against him, I still believe he didn’t do it, have no proof and it would be a hidden scene that comes up at the end but based on the facts until then for me he didn’t kill Alex, the moment he had all excuses and right motives to snap and kill her he stop himself and want to make her go away using his power at the court and just killing her.

The title makes reference to the story of Toni Wolff and Carl Jung, doctor and patient relationship, Toni end up as Carl’s mistress, the term medial mostly apply for people who live the reality and their own world, I’m no expert on the matter but it really applies to Alex, how she even had conversations with herself and tend to imagine things that never happen, but I wonder why they use that as the name of the episode when we saw that happening on previous episodes, unless I’m wrong and they referring to Ellen or Stella although so far both seem to be very realistic and had not mental health problems. Here a link that I found online about the topic.

A Small Light : Boiling Point – Season 1 – Episode 6 – RECAP

September 3, 2023September 22, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

The title of this episode is very well deserve and that’s exactly what I try to recreate with the cover image of this post, at this point in time Miep is loosing it, the pressure is too much to the point she totally expose herself after a pair of German officers in a bike almost ran her over, she starts screaming at the and call them bastards but they just laugh at her. She had so many things on her plate with Kuno staying at their place as someone not welcome by the Nazi Party, Jan working with the resistance taking risky tasks to safe more people, hiding the Frank family who is now so positive that the allies are close to end the war but only Miep and Edith seem to be the only ones realistic enough to understand there is so much more to happen before the war ends, on top of all this there is Tonny Ahlers a man who is looking for Otto to collect on a black mail scheme that has been going for some time and he has connections within the Nazi Party that can come straight to the Frank’s door, put all that together for a perfect mix of none stop stress yet there is still more coming to Miep so imagine how she could felt at that moment the German Soldiers almost ran her over with the bike to the point she didn’t care anymore, she had to vent out and she did but quickly realize it could be her worst mistake when they stop and one of them pull his pistol. Miep and Jan could probably ran away from Amsterdam when the Germans arrive and be free some where else but they decided to stay, in the case of Miep she couldn’t because her passport was revoke by the Germans but then when she married Jan then they could ran away and live a better life away from the war but friendship and patriotism kept them in Amsterdam, the friendship Miep had for Mr. Otto Frank and the love Jan had for his country, those are the main reasons they stay and decided to help those pursued by the Germans.

There are places on earth where you are constantly in danger, serious danger every day you wake up you don’t know what to expect, some times there are those who don’t even have the chance to wake up as things happen over night, one of those places is prison, in such aggressive environment where most of the time only the strongest and the smart survives you don’t know where will problems come from, either the guards or other inmates, sometimes situations that had nothing to do with you but you are confine to a specific space that force you deal with it, war seems the same but with bigger borders, in the case of Jan and Miep the had an entire city but everywhere they go is a danger zone, things change over night either because the resistance did something that alerts the Germans or because allies hit them hard and Germans decided to rush things, just when people thought the war was getting closer to end, the worst part of it come to them and I think this is exactly what will happen to the Frank’s in the next episodes, Ahlers is getting impatient and is looking for Otto under every rock he can until he finds him.

Source

I really like how this moment represent how things change when Amsterdam was occupied by the Germans, one night this woman was a recognize musician playing the fiddle with a great orchestra for a large amount of people to came to see her, now she is playing to keep the mood up for all those victims of the war, a theater and now serves as refuge for those waiting to be transport to the German camps, most sick, tired, without hope that things will change for better but she knew she had to keep playing, at least there is one person on that room who still has hope and that’s her.

Source

A Small Light will probably go down in history as one of the best Tv Series to transmit the struggles of people in Amsterdam and other places during World War II, all the risks they took to survive and help others, Jan was part of that movement, they had to be ingenious to take advantage of every second, every space, every inch they could to trick the German Soldiers and sneak people, kids and infants out of the city without them noticing there was some one missing, but even Germans also where very smart to the point that they develop this skill set of persuasion, how they walk, how they talk infringes terror on those hiding and running away, most crack right there in fear of what was coming but those within the resistance were brutally brave and had the courage to stand up to the task, here is how a nurse standing across the street pretend to be smoking but the moment the light train comes by she receives a baby through a window and run to Jan so he could take the baby to the country side, then she keeps walking like nothing happen and goes back into the nurse house.

Source

The moment Miep thought things couldn’t get worst a set of event come to her very own place, this is what really make things boil up for her

– NSB Agent is now her neighbor
– Omnia Trust employees come to collect Jewish assets after Mrs. Stoppleman move out
– Kuno is terrible sick, fever and looks like dying making all kind of noises, NSB Agent upstairs
– Two nurses working for the resistance are now hiding at her house

All this within less of twenty four hours, next day she had to go work, walk to the office and pretend on the street that everything is fine, I walk every day from home to work, its a fifteen minute walk and I usually think about a lot of things, imagine everything that went trough her mind during the time she took to walk to work.

Source

Things get slightly better for Miep and Jan at home, Kuno was not dying only had an infection because of some acne probably that end up bursting making feel much better, was gross and bloody too, Jan took the nurses and Max out of the city through the local guards transport, some where working with the resistance under cover and help him get all this four resistance members out of the city. This doesn’t solve all Miep problems as the heavy duty is still at work with the Franks who are now loud, hopeful, basically out of control since they think the war is coming to an end soon with the allies landing on France, getting closer to the Germans.

Source

Mrs. Frank has also hit the boiling point, she cant even stand her own family anymore, cant stand been confine to the same walls, without properly seen the sun, been outside, its been two years in lock down hiding from the Germans and the war still not over, all of the sudden everyone thinks it will end soon because allies are closer to them but they still need to end it and she cant see that happening any time soon, she feels things will get worst, I have not been in any War but have been lock down for more than two years and I know the feeling when at least if you had an exact date even if its ten years from now you can probably take it and wait but the worst part is not knowing when will it end.

Source

This episode leaves me hanging but I think actually I’m sure this is Tonny Ahlers doing, either Otto pays him or he tells the Germans they hiding at the office building, I think that’s what happens next and the reason for the image of a man pointing a pistol at Miep inside the office.

Not hundred percent sure why Boiling Point is the title of this episode, either because Kuno fever or all the troubles Miep went through a single day, its like the war burst at her place in one day bringing all kind of troubles to her door step, every single one of them could get her killed, not even arrested so it was a matter of time before she burst out too and that’s what happen when she start yelling at the German Officers who almost ran her over, considering she was caring an illegal radio to the office, not only disrespecting an officer in public but also smuggling a radio to the place she is hiding her friends, it was the perfect combination to get killed on the stop and she didn’t care anymore for a few seconds, this was probably a booster to keep on going after she vent out.

Dead Ringers – Season 1 – Episode 5 – RECAP

September 2, 2023September 25, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

On Episode 5 of Dead Ringers a more raw version of the birthing center investors came up, its a selfish project where only Beverly thinks its for the best of women, Rebecca to make ton of money from wealthy women and Elliot to play GOD and experiment with their patients, this is the true reality around the birthing center.

Elliot for me has always been the star of the show and she is about to get on deep troubles, you cant play at been GOD without any compromises and repercussions, at some point in time her experiments will go wrong, she will be over confident and everything will blow up on her hands at once, part of her experiment is her sister Beverly, she is pregnant and the baby she is carrying is Tom’s without she even knowing it, that’s a time bomb for another day but on this episode Elliot meets a man Marion, Susan’s father who thinks the same as Elliot but in a more open and public way, in my opinion he only feed Elliot’s ego and got her to get curious with Marion’s daughter Florence at the moment she was giving birth, there is the double moral how Marion said it was ok to experiment and learn but when Elliot did it with his daughter then it was not anymore, after everything went down Rebecca, Susan’s wife, again make it clear for everyone, she is the BOSS and owns everyone for all the money she is putting into this project.

A new character is introduce, Silas Jordan a writer who is a bit wash out, after wining a Pulitzer he haven’t written anything worth it but in his own words, nothing has caught his attention but the twins fascinate him, because of how he looks at them and talk, mainly Elliot I think he probably going to try to destroy them and expose how Elliot is playing GOD with women child and Rebecca exploring them for money, this was very clear explain when at dinner Marion talk about a seventeen years old girl in the 1940s enslaved who had all kind of horrible problems to give birth and a Dr abuse of her, making her the guinea pig of his experiment, operating on her over thirty times in a span of five years without anesthesia, usually history is a lie, its written and tell in a way that benefits someone specific but its those who live it holding the truth, this girl most likely was force to this operations all for a Dr to experiment and learn from her. Now days this is illegal but still happens, there are parts of the earth where the sun don’t shine and its all darkness, Silas was against Marion and Elliot way of thinking and operate, he will enjoy exposing Elliot’s experiment.

Source

After last episode the Mantel Twins are back together, Beverly was about to move away and had all kind of plans with her girlfriend Genevieve specially now that Beverly is pregnant but Elliot could not allow this, she is in love with her own sister and cant let her go so she revel to Genevieve how she got her for Beverly, that first day at the bar she was not kissing Beverly she was kissing Elliot, obviously that infuriate her because she ask them both if something like that have never happen with her and both Mantel said no, the most obvious thing happen the Twins are together again, sadly for Elliot not for long.

Source

The Mantel Twins and Silas arrive to Susan’s parents house, this scene was hilarious for me, seen two pairs of twins and btw Florence on the left is expecting to give birth quadruplets, the man on the right Marion, just look at his smile he looks like a twisted mind person, as I mention in the intro he openly describe some of his experiences with patients as experiments, his wife left him and no body give details on that, I think he actually experiment on her so they could have twins although they said Marion and even his mother were twins, that’s just me speculating none the less we don’t know the real reason his wife left him.

Source

At dinner Silas kept debating the safety, legality and morally right of the Twins procedures at the birthing center, he was hired by Rebecca to right an article to idolize the Mantel Twins work but he was very direct and open with his opinion and this is a moment were Beverly use that phrase she loves “pregnancy is not a disease” , Silas answer “Oh I’m going to fuck all of you so bad and make you eat those words” …between the lines.

Source

This one a very uncomfortable dinner for Beverly and Silas, Marion kept saying how back in the day it was experimenting with patients constantly, learning new things every day and sadly it was true, anesthesia was first used in 1946 for a medical procedure so before that it was all butchery some times and Drs like Marion love it, he sees things different, he thinks science first and then the patients, he knows Elliot does too and Beverly doesn’t, on this very first scene he talks about how he didn’t had the opportunity to experiment more often because lack of patients and use this expression “make do with um hmmm” is he referring to his wife? or daughters?

Source

Beverly leaves Elliot, this time is suppose to be for good and wants to get back with Genevieve, things really move fast for the twins, at the beginning of the episode she loved Elliot and at the end leaves her, all that talking with Marion made Elliot cocky and lead her to get curious with Florence after all four baby were born but the cherry on top was that Elliot brought to the world a twenty four week baby that no body knows she grew for four weeks before artificially get it into the mother body, when they were talking about it at dinner Marion open Beverly eyes when he said “She sees it like that….you don’t” referring to Elliot plus Elliot kept lying about it so Beverly only sniff the truth and decided to leave.

Source

Just when they thought everything was great because Beverly is pregnant, their dreams came true and now opening their second birthing center, this episode turn out to be a shit storm for the twins and when I thought it was over, the old woman Elliot bush over the balcony was not an hallucination, she was real only that in her way down she fall into the building gutter and didn’t fall, that’s why Elliot never found the body and thought it was not real.

I loved Dead Ringers : Episode 5 because for the first time someone said things as they are, Marion told to the twins how they are making progress in science, experimenting and improving, he knows Elliot is pushing farther than what the laws aloud and how Beverly didn’t want to acknowledge the cruel truth, also the first person to call them out is introduce, I’m talking about Silas, he will be a stone on their shoes when he starts to publish articles about the truth of the Mantel Twins procedures, both Marion and Silas change Beverly opinion about Elliot and their job so far, probably open her eyes and that’s why she left Elliot.

The Walking Dead – Dead City : Old Acquaintances – Season 1 – Episode 1 – RECAP

September 1, 2023October 28, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

I didn’t finish watching the Walking Dead and I have been planning on retake it but from the start, same as its parallel series Fear The Walking Dead, I remember those times, those were great times for Tv Series and everyone was into it for many months just waiting for the next episode to air but I have to say it is one of those series that can make you feel sad for everything that the characters go through, The Walking Dead – Dead City is more of an action series, even without knowing the end of the original series it doesn’t surprise me that she make it alive, after all she went through but the real twist is that now she have to work with the man who savagely killed the man she loved, Negan smash Glenn head with his bat in front of her and now she is asking for his help to rescue her child from a man who use to work for Negan, The Croat.

Zombies on this series are more like an accessory, yes there are still a lot to kill but they are not the main issue, although are a great problem considering Maggie and Negan went to the place with the most dense Zombie population, Manhattan was one of the epicenter of the Zombie Apocalypse there for there are millions of them on a small place, they still slow and weak, humans have develop a kind of of rope system that helps them travel from one building to another without touching ground so you can say the ground is dominated by the Zombies and humans travel through roof tops, society is also emerging again with new states or populations with Marshalls who enforce their laws, Negan is a wanted man and it seems this Marshalls wont stop until they get him so we have the zombies, the marshals and the Croat going after Negan and Maggie while they try to get her son back

I’m not sure how long this series will be in terms of how many seasons, but it already has a 7.9 rating on IMDB and would help to last for a few good seasons. It has to do a lot with its predecessor series that ended last year. The Walking Dead was a great series with a lot of fans that will follow any sequel as long as it is at least half as good as the original series, some of this actors made a decade out of Walking Dead and some keep pushing, you definitely have to be very talented to stay relevant for so long, the past two months after The Last of Us and Mandalorian season ended there was nothing exciting to watch but now Tv series are starting to pile up, great things coming up.

Source

The first episode starts with Maggie tracking down first her son who got kidnap and then Negan but not necessary for pay back, Maggie is on a very desperate situation and got now choice but to ask for the help of the man who killed the man she loved very much, she is looking for him to ask for his help but on a world with a vast population of Zombies and humans trying to bounce back as a society no body likes outsiders sniffing around the place, Maggie gets to a motel’s bar to have a few drinks with the excuse she got robbed at her place and the bar tender tells her there is a guy at who lives at the motel who can help her, Maggie already knows who is he talking about, its Negan and she came for him but a local gal put her eye on her and caught Maggie at Negan’s room, but this woman is confuse she thinks Maggie came in behalf of some one else so they pin her down on a table and try to cut her face as a message, Maggie is a though fighter and after many years running away from Zombies and Negan she learn very well how to fight so she fuck them up and start chasing Negan who ran away with a little girl after he finds out Maggie is after him.

Source

Maggie gets Negan down the road after chasing him, they are not friends, for now, and Negan thinks she wants pay back but he has no fear for her. They sit down and talk about the real reason why she is looking for him, few weeks back her place was raided, those who assault her took all her food and said will come back a few months latter for more but as collateral to make sure Maggie gets more food and resource for them they took her son Hershel, Negan is an old fox who wrote the book of how to extort people during Zombie Apocalypse so he quickly finds out the real reason why she is looking for him, the raiders took her kid and the guy who did it probably has something to do with him, a blast form the past. Negan agrees to help Maggie but only if she takes Ginny, the girl he is now protecting, to her place at the Hill Top where she will be protected, feed and go to school.

Source

This Marshalls from New Babylon, a new independent state that is trying to build up society again and have put this men in charge to enforce their laws, they are no joke, they know how to track down guys, are well train and are good shooters. They are looking for Negan for murdering a magistrate and a few more, they don’t want to put him in jail, they looking to execute him but when the Marshall show up and start telling his part of the story something doesn’t match because he said Negan has build an empire like he still roles with his old crew but he is now alone, no a threat anymore to any large group of people. The same woman who had Maggie pin down to the table at the bar was questioned by the Marshall until she gave up and rat out Negan, to make an example out of her the Marshall throw her to a group of Zombies outside of the motel’s fence while the rest of the people was looking.

Source

Maggie and Negan got to a boat to cross the Hudson and land on Manhattan but right at that moment Marshalls arrive, a young one tries to sneak on them and Maggie got him, she brings him with them as insurance, not that she cares what happens to Negan but for now she needs him, been Negan he wants to throw him to the river as he will latter on become a liability, I don’t think this guy has a very long life with them but she refuse to kill him and its here where Negan starts to preach truth and let her know its just survival and he is one of the best at doing it not because he is a bad guy but because he does what ever he needs to do to survive and keep those with him alive while Maggie is still thinking about good and bad guys, Negan has a wider way of thinking and how to navigate the world they living in to stay alive.

Source

I don’t remember see The Walking Dead develop inside a city with tall buildings and for sure not inside an island, in the case of this scene Walkers heard Jano, the Marshall apprentice fall and since there are Walkers everywhere there are Walkers on the roof top so they start falling like its raining Walkers, we also see the water infested with floating Walkers and I’m sure there must be those that have sink for some reason wondering at the bottom.

Source

This is the main villain of the story so far, The Croat, as describe by Negan one of the most crazy psycho that use to work with him back in the day, it seems that he now runs Manhattan with a new crew with similar practices to what he use to do back in the day when he was part of Negan’s crew, he loves torturing people and play mind games, on this scene he let a guy escape but only to cut the rope he use to slide from one building to another and see him fall from twenty floors, after seen the guy fall and scream, The Croat just laugh and said that has to be a new record, he does have Hershel and is still alive, if The Croat is anything or worst than Negan this is going to be a very interesting story because it wont be easy to surprise him.

I’m loving this series, it puts a smile on my face on every episode, either excitement for all the action or Negan dark humor, having characters like Negan and Maggie as main really keeps the original series alive with now another battle field, a big city with tall buildings infested with walkers and with a similar threat like Negan was, audience support so far has been great with 82% on RTT and 7.9 on IMDB, at the moment of writing this post I have seen two episodes and the next episodes keeps reveling who Negan is, there is a lot I ignore about the original series as I never finish watch it but its also great they bring this part of him for new viewers to get interested and probably go and watch the original series, bring questions like “Was this guy so bad?” besides Maggie cant stop having flash backs from when he smash Glenn skull with his bat, that episode I saw and remember how cruel was it, there were moments that I close my eyes and cringe. I have to watch The Walking Dead again and Fear The Walking Dead too, this are two series that are as good as The Godfather or Braking Bad and it is still relevant, I’m not a comic guy but there is a Walking Dead universe that for sure will pump out more Tv series.

The Crowded Room : Exodus – Episode 1 – RECAP

June 9, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

An introverted, unpopular, shy, frustrated and scared of the world young Dany gets arrested for a crime during the 70’s but its possible he didn’t do it and the police fears he was controlled by the real killer that might strike back.

I’m a sucker for serial killer movies, investigations and movies from other eras like in this case the 70’s, the moment I saw the trailer remind me of Mindhunter when Holden Ford a detective who started a thesis on how to build serial killer profile visited Charles Manson, the room, the fact that Dany was probably used as a tool to commit a crime I also like Tom Holland on the role of Dany, people are use to see him as Spider Man since that’s what he has been doing for the most part in the last six years he did Uncharted too but that was still an action movie, on Crowded Room is more about the mind game rather than an action movie for teen ager like Spiderman, Crowded Rom seems to be about exploring Dany’s thoughts about how lot of people that he knows tend to disappear but he is the only one staying, the first episode makes me curious and believe that he probably has two personalities and could be the reason why is not so easy to figure out what happen to everyone who disappear and why he was found on a house with blood on the walls and the floor, whose blood is that?.

The series will probably go back and forward on the time line to describe Dany before all this happen, the first episode started with him and Ariana chasing a guy who they want to kill but at the last moment when Dany had him in front of him he couldn’t pull the trigger and Ariana took the gun to blast the guy but only got her on the shoulder, at first I thought he got caught because of that murder attempt but it goes deeper than that and there is a lot he is not revealing yet during the interview with the agents at the police station.

The person doing the interview is Rya Goodwin, on the first episode it is not explain much who is her and why her but looks like she is a professor or that’s how she is known at the police station, still don’t know but she is in charge of interview Dany and profile him, figure out what really happen, the who and the why.

Just looking at Dany makes me feel uncomfortable, the guy looks really troubled, like something deranged him, there is something that wont let him sleep, this is a shot at the train with Arianna before they try to murder a guy in the middle of the city in front of a lot of people, it almost look like he is on drugs at the moment to look that disturbed, many people do drugs before comiting a crime, the drug make them numb to the idea of what they are about to do

This is Danny’s face, he froze when he saw the guy him and Arianna were going to kill, I’m sure he knew the guy something happen on that very moment, I’m starting to think this person could be his step dad that he had so many troubles with growing up he basically abuse him mentally or a friend from school, it had to be someone he thought he could kill and then when the moment came he couldn’t, I don’t think it had to do anything with the fact itself nothing to do with killing a person.

Arianna was more cold blooded and took the gun from Dany then starts shooting at the guy until she ran out of bullets, I think she ran out of bullets because she shoot the guy six times only one got him, people start screaming, sirens in the background and it seems Danny never saw Ariana again.

Another very important character on all this is Yitzhak, he is from Israel and became neighbor with Dany a few years ago, the first time they met Dany and his friends from school came to Yitzhak house to say hi as the house was empty for some time but everything change for Dany the day some bully was kicking his ass, Dany was always picked at school by everyone even adults so he saw a kinda of father figure on Yitzhak, not much has been said about Yitzhak or Ariana so far but that’s just my first impression of him. Latter and I say latter because I do not know exactly how things happen after Dany and Arianna failed to kill their target, how things went down but looks like Yitzhak didn’t approve what they did, the police probably follow Dany to the house and he gave in after they surround the house.

Besides Dany there is this other character I’m very interested in, her name Rya Goodwin, she is the one working with the police to figure out what happen, where is Ariana and why a lot of people close to Dany disappear too? did he kill them?. The interviews go for days, they didn’t mention it but you can see Ryan with different cloth between scenes, she also mention that the year Yitzhak move to the neighborhood there were some assaults.

There are several scenes, memories that go through Dany’s mind as the interviews continues, mostly things that he is not telling Rya yet or he straight up says he doesn’t want to talk about, on the first interview Rya starts with Dany from scratch because he is no snitch so he wont rat on Ariana or Yitzhak, thats clear for her and keep pushing or threating Dany with jail wont do the trick so she decides to psychoanalyze Dany and his story, they start from zero, how and when did he met Ariana and Yitzhak, there starts the story of how he was picked at school, how things were very bad at home with his step father, his childhood story but nothing really relevant to the murder attempt, Ariana or Yitzhak.

Dany and his friends were selling weed to make some money and basically sustain their vice, but one day he got caught with a joint at school so he ran home as fast as he could to hide and a group of bully led by a guy who try to snitch on Dany but then got suspended when it didn’t work was looking for him and start chasing him until they caught him on the street in front of Yitzhak house, they start beating him to the ground until Yitzhak came up and safe him, then invite Dany in to clean up and that day he also met Ariana.

Everything is narrated by Dany and Rya, when they get to this part there were a few key questions that Rya ask Dany, why would you think Yitzhak help you? what was your first impression of Ariana? Rya through the entire interview is trying to insinuate that they use Dany for their own benefit, to accomplish certain task on their agenda, there are some flash back pictures one was Ariana playing with a gun in the house with Dany and another Yitzhak covering Dany mouth so he shut up probably some one was in the house looking for them so there is a lot to discover.

Dany keeps telling Rya he doesn’t know where is Ariana or Yitzhak but for sure there is a lot of blood and killing he knows about but probably Rya is not asking the right questions yet, she again threaten Dany with jail but he is no fool, he knows they cant do that, yes they found blood and a bullet hole on a window but there is no gun, but he did admit he was with Ariana and attempt to kill that man although he point the gun at him but never pull the trigger, I’m not sure if that’s consider murder attempt hmmm

The Crowded Room is doing great at tv series sites like IMDB or RTT, so far a 7/10 on IMDB that’s very good considering that in real life that’s an 8/10, because its Tom Holland the main actor I think this is going to take a lot of positive reviews and people wont be bitching that much about the time line, going back and forward, Class of 09 is the same thing and the internet bitch about it so hard so who knows why, the production and music are very good at setting the tone of the series, I like how from episode one a lot of things are hiding its like little crumbs that you need to put together and then you get to know the truth and some times during the way things shift, you cant watch this series without been focus because you will get lost easy and end up rewinding to understand what’s happening, the first three episodes where release but as usual I like to watch one episode per day or week depending on the format of the tv series, totally recomend The Crowded Room, Apple+ keeps releasing bangers.
