The Ones Who Live

Season One Episode Four

After jumping out of the helicopter, Michonne and Rick end up inside a building on the top floor. The apartment the end up in is state of the art with all the modern gadgets.

Michonne and Rick are furious with each other for different reasons. Michonne changes out of the army gear and tries to relax. Rick on the other hand is thinking of ways to contact the Civic Republic Military so they can get picked up.

Michonne is not happy with Rick because he is trying to leave so she decides to venture out on her own. She gets caught by walkers and Rick comes to help her. After some convincing, Rick decides to join her.

Now they have to figure out how to get out of the building before it collapses. Going through walkers on the staircase, they finally make it out of the building. They spot a car and lucky enough it has gas. They speed away before the building comes down.

Now that they are out of the building, where will they go. Are they going back to Alexander? I’m sure it will not be a straight shot and there will be drama on the way. Until next episode.

Michonne is now in the unit Rick use to be in; and working to kill the walkers coming to the fence. She becomes friendly with one of the other workers who is her partner. After saving her partner from a walker. Michonne is making a good impression and the commanders notice.

Rick meets up with Jadis and she is trying to make sure he is not trying to escape again since Michonne is there. Jadis knows what both of them can do together and is warning him.

At this point, Rick comes up with an escape plan for Michonne. He gives her a map to follow through the tunnels. Michonne thinks Rick is joining her but when she gets to the end, Rick is not there. All Michonne had to do was get on the boat and leave. Michonne is not leaving without her man. And she is confused as to why he was not there. So, she decides to go back.

Rick is talking to Pearl and looks up to see Michonne at her post killing walkers. He is so mad but can’t show it. Rick gets Michonne on an assignment so he can keep an eye on her. In the middle of the mission, Pearl points her rifle at Michonne. Rick sees Pearl and steps in to let her know he sees her. I feel like Pearl is jealous of Michonne. Pearl doesn’t know that Michonne is who Rick has been looking for. If only Pearl knew. I bet she would turn Michonne in.

On the way back to the base, Michonne is thinking that Rick does not want to leave the Civic Republic Military. Michonne does something crazy. She opens the door of the plane and pulls Rick with her as she jumps out of the plane. Talk about a plan to get away.

Can’t wait to see where they end up. Of course, they will both make the fall. I never would have jumped from a plane. Really? What was she thinking!!

Season One Episode Two – Gone

Michonne is back. The episode follows Michonne on her journey to look for Rick. She comes across a group who desperately wants her to stay with them but all she wants is a horse. Michonne needs the horse to get to the place where she thinks Rick may be.

After agreeing to stay one night with the group, Michonne becomes friends with Nat and a few other people. She has a talk with the new friends and they decide to join Michonne on her search to find Rick. The new group is traveling together and are hit by smoke bombs from planes flying in the air. How did the airplanes know they would be in the area?

The bombs make everyone pass out. They find a warehouse to stay in and to hide from any future bombs. One of the females in the group is pregnant and when they all wake up, she is unable to get over it and eventually dies. Her husband also gets bit by her and dies.

Michonne and Nat stay in the warehouse until they get their strength up. It takes a while and when they get strong enough, they venture out to continue the search for Rick. They come to the place where Michonne thought Rick would be but is disappointed to see that the place is deserted with a bunch of burnt walkers.

Michonne has a breakdown, but Nat convinces her to keep looking. They hear a plane overhead and it is getting close. Nat makes firebombs and shoots at them down. Once off the plane a group of soldiers see them and start shooting. Michonne comes across and few and fight them with the sword. She comes across one soldier and was about to stab him, but he takes his mask off. It’s Rick. They are both overwhelmed that they found each other.

Rick knows that another plane will be coming soon, and he tells Michonne to act like she had been caught so they would not kill her. They get back to where Rick is living and Michonne is interrogated by a group. Later, Rick and Michonne meet up and he tells her to be very careful. Michonne is now curious about what the place is all about.

Next episode they should get into more details and see Michonne get adjusted to the place. Rick and Michonne are still trying to get away from there to get back to their family. Let’s hope they come up with a plan.

Season One Episode One

Rick and Michonne are back with their own spin off to The Walking Dead. It was a great first episode. The premier was Sunday on AMC+.

We finally find out where Rick went after the explosion on the bridge. He is in the new city and not happy to be there. He has tried to escape from this city at least three times. The last time, Rick loses a body part.

They didn’t show Michonne a lot yet. Only a few clips of him thinking about her. Now I know he is trying to get back to her, but what about his kids. Not once did they mention them. He did say he was trying to get back home, so maybe that meant the kids.

Rick has taken a new role in the city and he thinks this will be a better way for him to escape. He becomes something like a guard and I assume they protect the city.

Don’t want to give you too many details, but you will love the first show especially if you are Walking Dead fan.

Dear Child

The episode starts with a women chained to a sink in what looks like a supply closet. A man come in the room calling her Lena. The woman is refusing to say she is Lena, so the man leaves her chained up and does not give her food or water. Once she says she is Lena, the man takes the chain off her. He then proceeds to dye her hair blond. He also bands her hand, and she passes out.

When the woman wakes up, she has on different clothes and two children are standing over her. Her hand is wrapped up because of the scare. The man begins to tell her there are rules she must follow. The man also states that the children are hers and she refuses to believe it. The man gets angry.

They come back to present day. Finally, clearance is given to get the boy out of the house. Once the door is opened, Aida searches for the boy. Gerd is talking to the mystery woman who says to look under the bed. There she founds him. There was also a man found dead in the house. He is taken to the morgue.

Finally, we learn that the woman’s name is Jasmine Grass. Gerd agrees to call her father and let him know she is alive. Jasmine is relieved that the nightmare is over.

Aida brings Jonathan out of the house where later he is taken to the same hospital where Hannah is. Jonathan is very quiet and seems in shock. He mentioned a baby sister. Hannah tells him to keep quiet and he does.

Hannah thinks back to one Christmas at the house. The children received presents from Father Christmas. Jonathan gets a snow globe. Hannah gets a stuffed cat she finally names Miss Tinkie.

Gerd goes to the house to look around. They found cameras in the ceiling. Gerd goes into the kids’ room and sits on the bed and found drawings. He thinks they were done by Lena. There is one picture of Lena’s father, and all the places Hannah has imagined in her mind that she has been to. Gerd sends the picture to Lena’s parents, Karin and Matthius, which explains why Hannah recognized the Matthius.

The man they found in the house is not the father of either of the children. Who is this man? And how did he get in the house? There are a lot more clues in this episode. I’m hooked on the show and trying to figure out what is going on!!!

Dear Child

Season One Episode – The Grandfather

In this episode, the mysterious woman is revealed. She is still very reluctant to talk but Gerd gets her to say who she is. Seems like she is hearing voices in her head and at first was afraid to say too much. Then once she revealed who she was, her family was called. They also show flashbacks of her after she was taken and what she was put through by the abductor.

We also see that the real Leena was taken by someone in a car as she walks down the street after leaving a nightclub. She must recognize who it is because who would get in the car with someone they do not know. Well, most people will not do that.

There was a search for the brother, Jonathan. The dog scent took them to a remote area that looks like a military compound. There is a lot of commotion in the area because it was discovered that live bombs have been placed throughout the area. The search was called off a while for it to be surveyed.

Once the area was cleared, the police and the dogs found a door to a unit. Inside, they found a small but well-kept living space. At first the boy was not located but later found under the bed hiding. Aida helped him out from under the bed and he held on to her and would not let go.

Hannah is moved from the hospital into something like a group home for kids. Beck is upset because they are taking her away. Beck follows the car to see where Hannah is being taken. There is also someone else watching Hannah’s destination too.

Dear Child

Season One Hannah

Looking through the Netflix app, I came across this series. It caught my attention right away. This is an unbelievable show but I’m sure this happens every day. This show makes you very aware of your surrounding and who you let into your space. This show make you think about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It starts out with a woman and two children playing in a room. They hear the keys and locks at the door and freeze. When the door opens, there’s a man coming in and the three of them are standing in a row with their hands held out. The children are approved by the man, and they get a snack. The woman is reprimanded and is crying. What is going on?

Later, the woman is seen in her nightgown running through the woods. She goes to the road yelling for help. It goes blank and she gets hit by a car. There’s an ambulance showed rushing her to the hospital. And the little girl is in the ambulance with her. Where did she come from? She was not seen running with the woman.

They get to hospital where the woman is taken into surgery. It is discovered that her name is Lena according to what the child says. The little girl is waiting outside but is later greeted by a nurse, Ruth, who takes her to change her clothes because she is in night clothes too.

Hannah seems smart but strange acting. She seems too calm with her “Mama” being hit by a car. Hannah talks to Ruth revealing all kinds of disturbing information about her family. Ruth even learns there is a brother, Jonathan, who is home alone. You can tell Ruth is very uncomfortable.

Later, a detective (Ida) comes in with a doctor (Benedict). When they get to the room, Hannah holds her hands out for inspection. Everyone looks confused. Hannah states that her had hands must be inspected for clean fingernails and to show there are not hiding anything. Ida starts asking Hannah questions, but she shuts down.

While all this is going on, a state detective comes across some information about a woman who had been found. Apparently, she fits the description of a missing woman from 13 years ago named Lena. He calls the couple of the missing woman, and they immediately head to the hospital where the woman is being held.

The couple gets to the hospital and demand to see the woman. They are escorted in the recovery room and discover that the woman named Lena is not their missing daughter. They are understandably upset, and the father causes a scene. At the same time Hannah walks down the hallway and sees the couple. The couple take on look at Hannah and she looks exactly like their Lena when she was a child. Hannah recognized the father as her grandfather. Now, I’m really confused.

The woman is thinking out loud to herself and hearing voice from the man. She is also thinking she knows she is not Lena. Who is this woman??

Average Joe

Season One Episode Two

Joel, Leon, and Touch have to get rid of the evidence like they should have
done before. Tess, Angela, and Cathy know everything now. And they all must
work together.

Deon is in charge of founding peanut butter; Cathy is in charge of going to
the hardware store and gather all the plastic she can found. Joe and Touch are
in charge of getting the bodies back to the hardware store; along with the
Russian named Moltovo that came to their house to kill them.

Joe brings in the Moltovo who only wants to find Dimitri now. Moltovo pulls
the gun on them and demands to see the boy. Dimitri is wheeled out in a cart
and Moltovo sees that he is dead. Joe then explains to Moltovo that he is to
cut up Dimitri’s body parts. Well, that does not go very well. Moltovo gets
emotional and explains that he must die now because he was not able to protect
the boy.

After all the Moltovo commotion, Joe takes Moltovo to an open area where he
proceeds to kill himself. Joe leaves the scene, goes back to the hardware store
and founds Leon throwing up.  Joe walks in on Cathy and Touch in the middle of cutting up body parts of Dimitri.  

Joe, Leon, Touch and Cathy head to the woods each of them with a bag of body
parts to spread out. Tess and Angela have no idea that this is all going on.
They think that the bodies are being buried somewhere.

And this is only episode two. Nothing is working out the way it was planned,
and they are starting to get deeper and deeper into the situation with no way out.

Average Joe

Season One Episode One

If you want something lighthearted and will keep you hooked on what will happen next, this is your show. You can found it on BET Plus.

Joe is an average guy who gets mixed up the Russian mob. Joe’s father has just died from a fire and goes to the office to clean it up. The mob shows up at his tow truck shop looking for money that the father owes them. They ask Joe for the combination to the safe and Joe says he does not know it. They proceed to break his fingers.

The guys that are sent from the Russian mob are not what you would expect. When I think of the mob, it’s scary to look at them. They look like average guys to me. Joe gets in a scuffle with the guys and ends up killing them. Yes, average Joe does this.

Joe has a friend Leon that shows up because he sees Joe’s truck parked in front of the shop. Leon looks through the window and sees these two guys attacking Joe. But when Leon finally gets into the office, he sees the dead bodies. Now they must figure out what to do.

Joe proceeds to tell Leon he does know the combination to the safe. He opens it and finds 100,000 dollars and a key. Now the two really don’t know what to do. They have all this money and two dead bodies. They decide to keep the money and Joe gives Leon 20% to keep him quiet.

Angela, Joe’s wife, has been calling him and she can’t get through. She calls Joe’s friend, Touch, who also happens to be a police officer. Touch reassures Angela that he is going to go find Joe. Touch passes by the the shop and sees Joe’s truck and Leon’s car. Touch goes in and sees the two dead bodies and the money. Now Touch says he must call it in; but is also convince by Joe and Leon not to call the cops and gets 20% of the money.

Now at this point, the men are trying to come up with this plan to get rid of the bodies; and to take Joe to the hospital to get his broken fingers looked at. Touch specifically tells his friends not to mention what had happened to anyone. Not to even mention what their plan is.

Once Joe, Leon and Touch leave the shop, everything goes downhill. Again, if you want to watch a show that doesn’t take a lot of thought, this is your show. And I didn’t even mention everything else that happens in the episode. Enjoy.
