Dead Ringers is probably one of the few series that watching an episode every week will get you lost, from the fact that you have twins that switch places at will depending how well they feel with their current situation, to the delusional state of Elliot, one of the twins; sometimes you end up without knowing how to difference from their reality to the effect of drugs and alcohol, I’m sure this is a Mini Series because I don’t know how they would fit another season after the last episode. This TV Show needs to be watch either during a day or at least sperate them in two parts, three episodes each, so its easy to keep up. I never saw the original movie and now have a perfect excuse, Dead Ringers from 1988 plus I still have to watch Fatal Attraction from 1987 so I can compare their two modern versions. One thing I would advice is not to compare them as in a heads up race because this series are not intend to be the same, they are similar, adapted to modern tv guidelines and meta, trying to take a movies from the 80’s and adapt them into a TV Show as Mini Series so comparing them will ruin the experience.

Episode six brings the end to this Mini Series, an end that I was not expecting, by this episode Elliot is lost, devastated, at times I thought she was going to kill someone, its very little what’s known about her during the previous and this episode. Beverly is pushed to destroy Elliot after Silas a writer covering their story and their birthing center got them against the wall, threatening to destroy everything with what he found about Elliot, all I’m saying might make sense if both twins, Elliot and Beverly are alive, living the during the same space and time but it doesn’t seem to be that way, in just the very last minutes of the series, everything is changed and there are a few things that will make no sense anymore, its like they give you two separate endings or two separate stories, the ending was Epic.

Source

After Beverly decided to move out and start a life with Genevieve, Elliot is no where to be found or at least next to Beverly, this kind of make sense to what could be an alternate ending for the series, Beverly has everything she wanted, when they started all she wanted was getting pregnant, have their birthing center running with them having total control of it, at first Rebecca their mayor investor was always on their way but towards the end with their success she gave them more freedom. Everything looks great for Beverly, clear skies but it looks like she cant be happy, she probably does not know what that is like. From the start I have been thinking they are in love with each other, the Twins, they cant be far from each other and this is killing Beverly on the inside even though she doesn’t express it.

Source

Rebecca and her wife Susan invite Beverly and Genevieve to dinner at a restaurant, they are nominated for “The Karlovich Institute Award” so they gather to celebrate their success in science and the business, the techniques that they have develop within the birthing center has help many women so its becoming very popular, at the same time the business side is thriving, they must be making a killing from all this patients, at the end Beverly seem to accept that the birthing center is not for the masses, is not for poor people, she tried to fight this concept at first but this kind of boutique clinics are for a wealthy sector.

After celebrating, the real reason why they were their, the reason everyone knows about except Beverly, even Genevieve talk to Susan and Rebecca behind her back, they want Beverly to publicly recognize Elliot has nothing else to do with the business from no on, the dinner was an ambush, Beverly only had two options, be loyal to her twin sister or burn her to the ground after Silas has written a very well article explaining all Elliot’s abuse, miss behave, drugs addiction and potentially murder accusation, this could end everything Beverly dream of.

Source

After the dinner the thought that she doesn’t know and cant be happy was born on Beverly’s mind and coincidence a patient came back to the clinic who is having a very hard time with been a mother and describe it as “awful mistake that I can’t figure out how to take back” similar to what Beverly is experiencing after she have finally achieve everything she always dream the only problem is that Elliot is not there with her making her feel sad, empty, like no matter how much success she has if its not with Elliot its pointless, until this point there is all kind of proof that Elliot is real, she still alive, she appears on a few scenes during episode six, doesn’t say or interact much but she still there.

Source

The night of the award comes, Beverly is under a lot of group pressure and she gives in, throws Elliot under the bus in front of everyone and there is only one person who still probably cares and tries to safe Elliot, that’s Elliot’s right arm at the lab, Tom, he is a bit less devilish when it comes to science but still walk the same path as Elliot, he confronts Beverly and I like how from one second from another he looks totally drunk, wasted but suddenly starts talking perfectly fine telling Beverly how Elliot did all this for her and this is how she pays her own sister, its like Beverly is living in two realities, this is the first time that looks like Beverly is experiencing things from another reality, she constantly hear the word “Baby Sister” and feels like Elliot is next to her but scene with Tom as creepy.

Source

After the event Silas went to visit a gallery where Greta, the twins maid, was performing, she is a very talented artist, drawing, paints and even acting, during all the episodes she took thinks from the twins and even their parents, all kind of objects from clothes, trash, tampons, and use it for their art, I thought initially she was another scientist trying to steal their experiments although she did have a lot of information about the Twins, including most Elliot’s crazy adventures and Silas tries to exploit that, but we most likely wont know what’s next since this is a mini series from my understanding.

Source

This is not the first time that Beverly gets mad at her sister and distance from her but this is the first time she hurt Elliot so bad, the first time Elliot end up so high she actually killed a women throwing her out of the balcony and then thought she hallucinate it, eventually Beverly came back and so she did this time, Genevieve went out on a business trip and Beverly took the chance to visit Elliot, the apartment was a total mess but Elliot was not there. Beverly goes to the only place she could be and that was her lab, there was Elliot with two big babies artificially grown waiting for Beverly. This is where the story start to shift into possible endings.

Source

At the lab the twins have this conversation where Beverly decides to die so her sister can live on as Beverly, Elliot injects her and cut her open taking out the babies, its impressive and gore, lots of blood, the scene was very savage so I didn’t want to post pictures. I remember Rebecca saying at the start of the episode during the dinner, Elliot was her favorite of the two, Elliot is now at a bed sitting with Susan and Rebecca and you can tell how Rebecca knows she is Elliot and Elliot gets it but tries to cover up.

Its a very twisted ending because what happen with Beverly? we see Tom crying leaving the city but is he caring Beverly body in the trunk of his car? or is he caring the two babies that Elliot grew on the lab? because those are never mention.

The episode DOES NOT END when credits come up, there are a few more minutes with Beverly/Elliot sitting at the park where a women stop to talk to her and in the exchange she mention it must be hard for her to talk about her DEAD sister, Elliot/Beverly has NO RECORD, NO MEMORY of this happening so was Elliot or Beverly part of her imagination, she as Beverly says how when they were 10 she says

Do you remember when we went swimming and I could not find you or you could not find me?? ….I couldn’t get back to the boat or you couldn’t ….

Elliot says that didn’t happen, but Beverly describe it as she doesn’t know who is talking is it either Beverly or Elliot?? makes me think that this entire time most of the story was part of Beverly imagination, besides they are genius Beverly and Elliot so may be everyone around her learn to deal with her double personality but at the end only one survive, the end will make your brain explode if you saw the entire series. I give this series a solid 7.5

Silo : The Janitor’s Boy – Season 1 – Episode 5 – RECAP

September 9, 2023September 25, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

Episode 5 of Silo : The Janitor’s Boy really tells how the administration, sheriffs and judicial have different interest and agendas for the Silo, for their people, for the structure and the future. The entire plot about the internal conspiracy from why they are really inside the Silo and if the outside is really safe or not is very interesting but every time they mention how they are confine to this space and how its an eternal circle of people been born and die inside the Silo without really seen the outside world, without experiencing what is to be free makes me sad and claustrophobic, the Silo does look big and when they go through the apartments looks like small corridors of a small city within the Silo so its very big although you can go from top to bottom in a single day as they have mention before so compare to been free outside and travel to any country or place you want makes a lot of difference, you are still limited to planet earth but its way more bigger and you get to meet different people every day, see the world, the landscapes, different cities, been free is just more than what they consider free on the Silo, besides they are not really free as George Wilkins thought and probably discover the reason why there is a conspiracy and why they are all tricked into thinking the outside is not safe and how the Silo population is manipulated by those in high hierarchy charges like judicial or the mayor.

On this episode we also know more about Robert Sims from judicial and his ambition, at the end he tells Trumbull how hard was life for him as a kid, as the Janitor Son, his father was a janitor who was proud of his job and how important it was for the Silo despite of what other said but Robert as a kid probably didn’t think the same and grew up with that ambition of been important and have power to step over those who look him and his father over the shoulder, now as part of judicial he has got part of that power that he wanted but his ambition is bigger than that, Bernard is there to remind him he is in charge and not Robert, as an intern mayor, I think this intern position was all planed and we are soon to discover how they did it, there has to be a network of spies, mics and cameras around the Silo and probably secret passages, rooms and doors that aloud them to control and do things without people noticing.

Source

It seems that the Mayor and Judicial always have plans to been steps ahead of the Silo sentiment, right now after the murder of the mayor and a sheriff people are scared to go out, kids to go to school, adults to go to work because they think a murder is loose out there and they could be next, after all there is not much room to run away, to prevent this chaos the mayor and judicial have come up with ideas to distract people, Sims idea (judicial) is to offer a holiday, Forgiveness Day although Bernard is more creative and came up with a celebration to commemorate Marnes and Ruth as an in love couple who were murder but the narrative is to talk about how great their last years together were, how much they love each other and on that day do things they “like” , for example having a race to the top in honor of Marnes, Robert disagree with the idea but Bernard idea generates a story, more than just giving a day off to the Silo and keep people thinking about a murder that is still out there, this two are going to clash in the future but Bernard is in charge, Robert cant step over him.

Source

As the clever man Bernard is, he tries to guide Jules around Judicial, not for them to be friends but to keep her alive, Im sure he already knows why she took the Sheriff job and wants her to also stay distracted thinking she can solve George murder case but at the same time keeping her away from the truth that might involve either him or Sims, keeping here running in circles but Jules is too smart to fall on that game, she is going to become a problem for Bernard and Sims.

Source

I would say that the first ten minutes of the episode was the interesting part where you have to analyze how Bernard, Robert and Jules think, how they react to each other, Paul Billings was there too but more like a compliance auditor since he knows so much the pact but the real talk and tension was between this all three, Bernard thinking he is the smart one on the room and have everyone figure out, Sims trying to step over Jules and Jules not giving a fuck about anyone and determine to discover what really happens with George.

This scene shows how Ruth and Marnes are buried together as a couple something that was just for married couples based on the pact but Bernard made an exception as the mayor, this was part of his plan for people to think about a couple in love and not about a couple with high hierarchy jobs murder, that was smart.

Jules gives a small speech that really reminds how sad is living within the Silo, how they are all trap without knowing why, how there a large population that knew Ruth as their only Mayor since they were born, this shows the monarchy and monopoly of politics within the Silo.

They are buried at a very low depth in a field of apple threes, everyone bites an apple an throw it at them because they will now serve as fertilizer for the apple threes and all those apples they bite are the seeds, the cycle of life and death within the Silo.

Source

Its all about distractions, shining things and mirrors, but this time Jules caught it right, she front runs Judicial and got Patrick Kennedy under her custody without telling anyone else, few days after Ruth was murder Marnes visit Patrick as a suspect of his witch hunt and got his ass kicked, he was the last person to have an altercation with Marnes and now Judicial wants to incriminate him, Jules picked up that thought fast enough to safe his Patrick’s live but also putting her own at risk, she was going after someone with way more power than her, Sims, who mention at the first scene of the episode how he was visit Marnes the night he died to convince him to make Paul Billings Sheriff so he could have inside man of his own. Jules takes Patrick and then stay around his apartment waiting for someone from Judicial to show up and she was right, Douglas Trumbull a man who was mislead by Sims under the impression he was a candidate to be Sims shadow, he was doing the dirty work for Sims and when Jules caught him in the act of planting false evidence on Patrick’s apartment there was a chase that ends on him pushing Jules over the stairs railing where she almost fall, same as George died, it was an intense scene.

Source

After Douglas failed to plant false evidence on Patrick’s apartment, got discovered by Jules and failed to murder her after he got caught, it was evident that he was a threat to Sims, its here where Sims shows how drunk with power he is and his complex of been the Janitor’s Boy, he gives Douglas a pep talk about how hard was for him to be the Janitor’s Son and how after all the limitations he got to the point he is, even tells Douglas that he is going to be his shadow, the man smiles at Sims of happiness because it but Sims throws him to the bottom of the Silo, this shows how twisted and sick Sims is and he will anything to stay in his position of power, but I’m sure there is more to it, how he kills a man publicly and gets away wit it, there must be an insurance system that lets him manipulate the stories.

I got to say I really enjoy Episode 5 of the Silo: The Janitor’s Boy, there was a lot of suspense and the action scenes were intense, on this Episode Sims starts to become an important character of the story, I remember how I mention this before, we start to see how Bernard and Sims are the ones really in charge of the Silo, from the first two episodes when Bernard was introduce he look like a robot, never thought he could be so sleek, sharp and manipulative, how he came up with the story of Ruth and Marnes been in love to change the narrative around the Silo, Sims show his true colors manipulating Paul, Douglas and telling Jules straight to her face how he is going to work to get rid of her and send her back to mechanical. I still don’t know who killed Ruth and Marnes, going to watch the episode again if cant figure out then probably on the next episode they will figure out the murder.

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.

Silo : Truth – Season 1 – Episode 4 – RECAP

June 1, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

Major Ruth has been murder, poison, they mention rat poison and that she was NOT the target. Jules gets involve in the case as a new Sheriff this is her first murder case officially, saying officially because she is after George murder too, Marnes is devastated by Major Ruth death but if Major Ruth was not the target and it was Marnes who from all the people he has pissed off in the past wants him death, if I have to take a quick guess is Robert Sims, remember how he wanted to put some one on Jules Sheriff position but Major Ruth intervene then the next vacancy would be Marnes because killing Jules could be hard to pull besides its too obvious.

After three episodes we already know enough about Jules, about her family, how she started her career on engineering and never came back to the upper floors of the Silo until now that she have been given the job of Sheriff, who is her father but on this episode its also mention how her brother dies and the impact it had on her family reducing it to she and her father only. On episode four I think concludes the story of Jules as a kid, how she stay on deep in the Silo shadowing engineers, starting from picking up scraps, repair them, all the way up in ranks to the point she was trusted with the Silo generator, its an interesting story and its like and episodes that holds up a lot of action for the next one, there is a lot of story from when she was a kid but also the start of an entire drama that is the conspiracy of Major Ruth accidental death because the real target was Manes, in the mean time Bernard is assign as temporary mayor but on whose side is him? also he and Jules have some story.

Source

Marnes is totally broken by Major Ruth death, they were lovers but had to hide it to the public because of their roles in the Silo, he explains Bernard and Sims how when you walk the Silo people usually drink from each other bottles because its easier to reach from others back pack but Major Ruth bottle had a leak so he didn’t drink any water from her bottle, raising the question was she the target? was she the only target? probably the murder didn’t think about it and poison Marnes bottle only thinking he would drink from his own water bottle or was Major Ruth the real target? I already mention that I think Sims wanted Marnes Sheriff position open to give it to one of his own people, I always felt suspicious about Bernard and Sims, each with their own agenda within the Silo and probably know the truth about why and how all this people got into the Silo.

Since Marnes cant be rational at the moment Jules gets the case assign to her by Bernard acting as proxy Major, Marnes is pissed and has no hope on Jules but at least she can act rational and be proactive.

Source

Its no secret that only Sheriff Holston wanted Juliette as a Sheriff and that was because he had other personal reasons and probably not because she was capable of pulling the job, she has everyone against her including Mandy who use to be Holston’s assistant, but Jules knows how to be a real pain the ass so she pulls the I’m The Boss card on Mandy and get her to look for George’s file, problem is that its no where to be found.

Source

Jules have some big shoes to fill in and her first day at the job has been a nightmare, not only Major Ruth dies after putting Jules as the new Sheriff but she now has to baby sit Marnes who started his own witch hunt, he is not a popular guy around the Silo but people respect him although he got a few grudge here and there that got him his nose broken after insulting some ones wife to not get into unnecessary details, Marnes just went rouge and is getting peoples attention and hate making him a target again, before things go south for him Jules was able to explain him her relation with Holston how he was working on George case but she cant figure out where the case file is, all she knows is that the word Truth on Holston badge was the sign she was waiting for as the last time she saw Holston he said “when I find the truth I will send you a sign” that was the key worth Truth on the back of his badge so they agree to help each other.

Marnes has been constantly drinking since Major Ruth death, he cant help himself, after a visit from Sims he gets another visit but this time from and unknown uninvited guess whose mission is to kill him, if judicial aka Sims was the one who wanted him dead then now is the chance with him all drunk and not be able to fight back.

Source

Jules got very lucky when she found George files inside an air vent on Holston apartment, he knew they were going to clean it up after he goes out to clean and “die” so he hide it inside an air duct, as we confirm on prev episode the Silo is govern by a conspiracy, the outside world is not what it seems from the inside but its hard to believe or prove it if you have never been outside and there is a pact with tons of restrictions to figure this out making it almost illegal to know more about it and that is the reason why George was murder, it would be very hard that he commit suicide, he was killed after finding something that he shouldn’t and was about to tell Jules but it was too late when she arrive, Holston also find out the truth about the outside but why he haven’t come back knocking on the door or probably he did but upper management wont reveal it, anything outside the Silo and how they got into the Silo is a mystery, soon all the characters will get involve into the conspiracy story and this story time episodes will be over.

This episode at times felt boring but also like is setting up for something bigger now that we know the real target was Marnes and his killer accomplish the mission after the first attempt but ended up killing Major Ruth creating a bigger buzz around the Silo, so far it doesn’t look that this mistake would change their plans, I’m sure soon Jules will become a target as she starts to get deeper into George case and discover the same thing got him killed, there is a lot of screen time dedicated to Jules story as when she was a kid and how she started on the scraps yard recycling Silo trask, looking for things to fix and send them back up, how she and her father never had a good relationship after her mother died pushing her to isolated into tech, fixing and repairing things, leading to going deep into the Silo and end in charge of the Silo generator.

Fatal Attraction : The Watchful Heart – Season 1 Episode 3 – Recap

May 23, 2023 SkipTvAds

Source

Alex not looking so good, after been rejected by Dan, Alex has now brought this new personality of hers, it haven’t been said but it looks like she takes some kind of therapy and if not she should because rejection doesn’t go well with her and the worst part is that she has to deal with it the entire time she is at work, been Dan a very renounce lawyer everyone knows him and interact with him every corner he look at, this is wont do any good to Alex, not only that she is basically gone looking at her on the mirror at a point on the scene for HER only her the lights go out and she is alone in the dark, its only when a woman comes into the bathroom and she reacts, Alex is deep into a trauma that will make her take wrong and extreme decisions soon. From now on I expect all kind of craziness from Alex public exhibition, taking her rage against others, doing drugs, alcohol, harassing Dan at home and work, even suicide attempt, when I say attempt is because she wont do it she just wants Dan attention.

Source

This is Dan face coming into court after he sees Alex, Alex is covering for Conchita, the interesting part is that I’m not sure since when and why, Alex brought the officer on this picture some fritters, they were just chatting and when she gave him the fritter he said “You need to stop this” is Alex hitting on the officer too? or just asking for favors in court? worst part is that the officer gave the fritters away to the guy in charge of the court agenda, this for sure make Alex mad, she even ask if they were good.

Dan is action professional, he is trying to not let Alex affect his job or performance at court, Dan doesn’t love Alex it was an affair but Alex is getting the wrong signals, probably she have gone through other experience where the man doesn’t know better and gets to the same position as her, aggressive and keeps arguing with her, Dan probably knows better and staying neutral but Dan is still a man and he likes to fuck Alex so he is weak and will do it again when she give him the chance soon, that’s going to be trying to put off a fire with gasoline.

Source

As suspected, Alex does take and need therapy, here is she talking with someone on the line, at the moment saying how great things are which is a BIG FAT LIE but only on her own world everything is fine and at the same time mention she have been looking for someone referring to a therapist but cant find anyone that can work with her “busy” schedule and tries to convince this person on the line, who I assume was her therapist, to at least have sessions over the phone because all she needs is advice from time to time although this person sound very very opposed to the idea and ends up telling Alex she is not certified on California and she needs to keep looking. You know that moment it feels so awkward that you feel sorry for that person even though its not you on the spot, make me want to skip the scene, after she hangs up the call took her shoes off and hold ice cube on her hand while repeating “The hidden source is the watchful heart” a quote from a poem by Derek Mahon called “Everything is going to be all right” , repeating a phrase or a poem could work as a trigger to overcome stress or certain situations, all this are big red flags for Dan who is not aware of this side of Alex.

Source

All Alex dirty laundry is coming out on this episode, not only it has been confirm the she needs therapy, but it doesn’t stops there, her neighbor across the door name Paul is a therapist that had a few sessions with her but decided to stop and has been avoiding her to the point of not answering the door, we don’t know why for sure but I think she is the type of person that reacts aggressive when things don’t go her way, they bump each other on the hall and she start questioning him why he has been avoiding her, Paul didn’t want to be rude or cause problems but had no argument and all he could say was he has been just too busy, minutes latter we find out a men who probably had some sort of relationship or live with her send her a box with her things and have short argument, she still mad asking for an apology from him and he says there is nothing to talk about. When someone has so many people mad or avoiding them at the same time, she is the problem, that lovely woman we saw on the first episode and a half is gone, Alex needs help, she has also been stocking Dan at work and I think she imagine a conversation with him one time when they were close to each other, he didn’t said a thing it was all her imagination at first and then exchange a few words, good for Dan he knew how to keep the distance.

To continue unpacking all Alex craziness, this episode confirm my suspicion that she started the fire alarm at the restaurant plus she hurts herself when she feels mad I’m not really sure what she feels because now there are a lot of mix emotions but she once burn her fingers when Dan had to leave and then start hitting her knew with a dumb bell after he left, because he wanted him to stay? I cant tell what exactly was going through her head but has to be something really bad to the point that Dr. Paul her neighbor he move out days latter after they saw each other and had that awkward conversation, the guy left and change his address just not be near Alex.

Source

This train isn’t stopping yet, Alex is going through all the phases of someone who cant handle rejection, from the compassion and kind where she tries to come close to Dan again but he prove me wrong, seems he never fuck her again, not even drunk when he had the opportunity, respect to Dan he knew how to stay away and then politely told her is not going to happen again. Then she turns into the crazy person, notice I didn’t say woman because this state of mind can be achieve by men too, and left Dan a message basically saying she wont be available for ever so its now or never for him but she got it wrong by going to Dan place and talk to his wife, not sure what it was that about but then he goes back to Alex place and had an argument about it.

This woman is a menace, there are no limits, after her argument with Dan one night through acid all over his car, if from now on Dan never slept with her again and kept the distance I can really see why he declare himself guilty, Alex is the type of person who knows how to and is willing to stage up everything to incriminate Dan, as he told his daughter Ellen, in order for him to get out or at least keep that option available he had to plea guilty and wait a few years. He is now working with his old friend Mike, who was his lawyer to bring back the case and prove his innocence but no body is willing to help him.

One last Alex crazy thing she did, remember that case she was working for Alex, the woman who was unconscious at the hospital that SHE TALK TO and took her declaration to identify the aggressor, that was another big fat lie to come closer to Dan, that woman was brain dead, Dan got that call right before he discover Alex was at his place.

I knew that at some point the script will unpack all what Alex did to Dan or Dan did to her so she ends up dead and Dan behind bars but this was crazy quick, it was trauma after trauma all the things that Alex was dragging from where she use to life and her neighbors, the fact that Dr. Paul avoid her as a therapist, a probable previous relationship send her things to her, how almost everything she said or did was just to make Dan be with her, cant understand how people kept saying this is a bad series, episodes are getting higher scores on IMDB and I’m sure there is a lot of things to unveil before Dan can prove he didn’t kill Alex.

SWARM : Fallin Through the Cracks – Episode 6 – Personal Thoughts

Episode 6 is a fake documentary, when I started to watch the episode I was so happy finally there is some light into the tunnel when Detective Loretta Greene comes up trying to explain how she figure out the hole thing, at first a girls name Andrea Greene pops up and I had to Google it, I knew that had to be Dre in “real life” but turns out its fake, Janine Nabers told the LA Times its a fiction story based on real events, meaning some of the events on this series did happen but not in the exact order or not all murders were done by the same person, as I watch the episode it feels like a fake documentary, like a parody at some point that’s when but it was still a good one as it gives more context to Dre story, one thing is certain that its possible this kind of murder happen within the fan culture that exist for mayor artist in real life, I’m talking about big celebrities, for the most part I think its women, I don’t remember the last man that show on the internet guilty for murder because someone insulted Snoop or 50 Cent, men who let influence them by rap music that’s another thing but what Dre. did during the series is a different motive. During the documentary there are a few things that were discover for example the different cars, she was robbing cars left and right, she stay at peoples house after she kill them eating their food and it wouldn’t be strange if she rob them their cloth, money because the only time I saw Dre during the series working was at the strip club. I really like they did an episode as a documentary because it clears up things, I think thats why I like this series that for some might look foolish but its different thats for sure, sometimes you get tired of always watching the same thing, same format, same context, Swarm is different and probably thats why viewers enjoy it. At the end Andrea Greene is not real but on this episode they did make it look like so, even gave out a phone number to call during the documentary I thought that was funny, Im sure someone is going to try to call.

At first Detective Loretta Greene is investigating a random murder that the local police was attending, they had no clue or a process to figure how things happen, Loretta with more experience doesn’t look like you classic movie’s detective with a leather jacket or a suit, she just look like any regular average person, she seems funny too but did show a set of skills that let her think and imagine how the woman was murder, by the direction and amount of blood on the wall and then on the floor, looking around for clues that let the person to murder this woman so violently, she mentions usually there is an event that gives motive but this was not the case so she had to dig deeper.

Loretta asks for the victim social media credentials, Tiffany Long was her name, she starts looking around at her Twitter account. Loretta explain how often people give in themselves posting the evidence on social media but this time she was looking for people who may be didn’t like her or what was Tiffany talking about that could trigger some one else to murder her.

Another murder case pops up and people who knew this victim had a tight alibi so Loretta goes back to the evidence that’s when she figure out based on what the person eat and how the place look that it was no white murder, had to be a soul sister based on the things laying around the house, there still no connection between the first two cases probably because Loretta didn’t look deeper into who was interacting with the Tiffany Twitter which I find naïve, if Dre killed her then for sure she probably answer something back after she talk shit about NihJa, accounts within a platform become a chain once they start interacting.

On episode two Dre killed a man called Reggie, a man who talk shit about Marissa and NihJa on Twitter, Dre was working at a strip club because she was after him, he mention on Twitter it was his second home, so when Dre and four other strippers from coming back from a party Dre’s car broke and Reggie shows up who had a repair shop at home and tow them, it was like he show up at the perfect time for Dre to kill him, one of the strippers was MAD AF with Dre, at the moment they knew her as Carmen and that’s when things start to fall apart for Dre, she was sold out by one of the strippers but they had the wrong identity, no body knew who Dre really was, after all Dre didn’t kill Regggie she try and failed and it was one of the other four strippers who pull the trigger trying to defend Dre, she got rid of Reggie for free. Loretta got interested on similar cases with the same trauma and that’s when one case pops up, its Khalid case, from here it was just a matter of time before Loretta finds out about who is Dre in real life.

Loretta visits Khalid house and talk to his brother, after asking him a few questions he talks about Marissa, didn’t say her name as he had no clue who she was on real life but knew she killed herself a few days before Khalid was killed, Loretta visits the Jackson’s house and here is where she finds out about the connection between Dre and Marissa, then subsequently the connection with Khalid, she also figure out how other victims were related to Dre and its because of the SWARM Twitter community, that’s when things started to click for Loretta. On this scene it was also explain how Marissa and Dre because step sisters, the Jacksons adopt Andrea Green aka Dre. They explain the entire process how Dre became this aggressive since very early age, how she was bully at school, how close Dre and Marissa were and that the Jackson’s return Dre to the foster house like she was an object, there were a lot of cool details about Dre relation with the Jacksons and how everything started.

At the end of the documentary Loretta got Dre, the woman on the picture really looks like Dre on the series, probably Dominique with different make up, it seems Loretta found Dre, they got her after she jump on stage at a concert, I knew she would try to get to Nihja again by the easy way or the hard way, remember this person Andrea Green doesn’t exist but I can GUARANTEE there is people who call that number to give information.

A very different episode, as I mention that’s probably I end up liking this series, at some point it can turn gross and a bit hard to digest when Dre start killing people, its not graphic with the murder scene but the amount of blood on the floor and how she starts eating after is disturbing, same as how she reacts when becomes desperate without a place to look up for answers that makes me feel sick, some times ashamed for her, but over all a very clever way to give context to the story, it couldn’t keep up with so many things without explanation like the cars, money, cloth, how was Dre surviving, this episode also reveals that she probably killed more people that the ones shown during the episodes, Dre easy has more than ten murders under her belt, I give this episode a solid 7+/10
