Month: October 2020

Season Five of this show began on October 27th. What a way to bring back the season, good job!! They waste no time digging into the COVID 19 pandemic and racial tensions in the country today.

Randall is the key to start to the season. They are living in the start of the pandemic with Beth checking Randall at the door with hand sanitizer, and Randall having to take his clothes off before entering the townhome. Randall states later that she has turned in Dr. Fauci; great compliment. They watch the release of the video of George Floyd and are like most devastated by the outcome. On top of that, it’s the Big Three 40th birthday coming up; and Randall has declined to go. Randall and Kevin are still not speaking because of the exchange they had at the end of season four. Kate does her best to reach out to Randall and feels rejected.

Rebecca gets lost and it brings all the Pearson children together. Kate lets Randall know that their mother is missing and he goes off to the cabin. When he gets there, Rebecca has been found and resting. Randall is very cold towards Kate and especially Kevin. Randall goes to see his mother to make sure she is fine; discovers that a medicine she is taking made her have a relapses. After figuring out Rebecca’s problem, Randall turns to leave. He is ready to get back to his family. I don’t think at this moment he considers the Pearsons as his family; just my opinion. Kate is devastated that Randall is leaving and tries to talk to him. She is upset about everything going on in the world with the racism and does not know what to do. Randall turns to to her and ask her what her concerns are. He states that she was never concerned before and that the family never talked about racism. Randall reveals that he carried that burden alone. Kate is so upset and uncomfortable and doesn’t know what to say. Randall says that he is “exhausted and is done trying to make this family feel comfortable.” Those are powerful words. It needed to be said. I may even use that line in the future.

Kevin is the most clueless of all. He is so wrapped up in himself and the pregnant Madison that he does not even know what’s going on in the world. He tries to talk to Randall but it was all about him and the new babies coming. Randall does not spend a lot of time talking to him. They will need to work out their problems this season.

This was part one of a two parts. Everyone needs to watch this episode because it hits home for a lot of people. I commend NBC for taking on the issues of COVID 19 and race. And they are even wearing mask!!

I finished the final season of Greenleaf and it was touching to say the least. From the beginning of the show, Grace has gone through a lot with her mother. She could never figure out why her mother was so hard on her.

Well in the final season, it’s revealed that the Bishop James is not her real father. Being the good man he is, James excepts Grace as his daughter which took a lot of stress off her. She discovered she has a new half brother, Aaron.

We also discover things about Grace’s long lost son, AJ. Grace had given him up when he was a baby and he is having a hard time with that. When she found AJ after being released from prison, he was not happy to see her. AJ has other secrets also. You will have to watch and find out. I did notice that the same luggage Grace came with in season one was the same luggage she left with in season five. That was a nice touch or I’m I the only one that noticed that.

In the end, the family becomes stronger and realize that it’s okay to need each other. Cherish your family, it’s all you have to depend on.

I kind of stumbled on this show and it turned out to be a win. Catherine of Aragon is the Princess of Spain. She was sent to England at the beginning of the show to marry the future prince of England, Arthur. She arrives in England on a rainy day leaving behind the warm climate of Spain. From the start, she was not happy with the surroundings. It was cold and lifeless compared to bright surroundings of Spain

The entire first season is about her marrying a prince so she can become the Queen of England one day. She goes through so much with the royal family, especially the mother of the King, who does not think she is fit and that Catherine brings a curse to the kingdom.

Catherine does have her own secrets she is keeping from the King in her pursuit to get married to the son Harry after the death of Arthur. She is determined and would do everything in her power.

If you want a quick watch and is looking for something new, this may be the show for you. It’s not mind boggling with minimum effort to watch so don’t expect much.
