While the last episode focused on Anton being remanded and more pieces to the murder puzzle being provided, this episode focused on the ramifications of Anton’s arrest and Sarah’s efforts to find evidence against Kyle. The episode kicks off with Bindy, Danielle and Maddie running in the morning and coming across graffiti on Anton’s restaurant. It then cuts to Sarah
Read moreNow that the pilot has aired and the premise and characters of the show have been established, the real fun begins with developing the story arc and subplots. The episode kicks off with Sarah trying to take the kids to school, only for detectives to show up at the door to inform her they are taking Anton’s car and have
Read moreWhen I published my blog post on the TV Week 2019 Previews issue, I said that one of many shows I am looking forward to seeing and reviewing is Bad Mothers—and the pilot certainly didn’t disappoint. The purpose of a pilot is to establish a show’s premise and characters. In the Previews Issue, the premise of Bad Mothers was described
Read moreWhile I said the previous episode was an improvement, this episode was solid. It was solid as the family (including Kenneth) was split into their own subplots. JJ and Ray were in the A story. Maya, Jimmy and Dylan were in the B story. Kenneth and Dr Miller were in the C story. The A story revolved around JJ getting
Read moreThis episode was an improvement over the previous two. This episode mainly focuses on JJ’s college tour of Danton College, an expensive college six hours away. However he isn’t really there to tour the college, he is there as he has a part in an American Pie-esque movie, Bikini University 3. When Dylan finds out about JJ’s plan, she threatens
Read moreLike the previous episode, this one wasn’t the best. This episode revolves around Thanksgiving in three different ways–Maya’s mother coming to dinner, Jimmy’s brother coming to dinner, and Kenneth’s father coming to dinner. Maya’s mother, Andrea (Holland Taylor) coming to dinner is the A story of this episode. To please her mother, Maya tries to be what her mother wants,
Read moreThis episode wasn’t the best. The A story revolved around students, teachers and even lunch ladies at Lafayette High “shipping” JJ and Nora, the latter being a new student who also has cerebral palsy. The shipping is going on as the students, teachers and lunch ladies think that they will be the perfect couple as they both have the same
Read moreI’m carrying on my annual tradition with this blog post—buying the previews edition of the TV Week and blogging about what shows look good to watch this year (and that I’ll possibly review). The first article I saw was one on the reboot of the much-loved late-90s Aussie show, Seachange. News of the reboot came out last year although very little details
Read moreThis episode was this year’s Halloween episode and departed from the usual DiMeo unique costuming and focused more on old candy giving almost each family member nightmares. The premise of the episode is established when JJ, Ray and Dylan search for the Halloween candy and find old candy in a duct, only for Jimmy and Maya to tell them that
Read moreThis was another solid episode with complementary A, B and C stories, but this one was slightly better as it was more profound and touching. The A story of Maya and Kenneth training the staff Principal Miller can’t fire to be aides, is a follow-up from the second episode. At first the staff don’t care about becoming aides but behind
