The period show based on the books of James Herriot has already been confirmed for a second season.Īll Creatures Great and Small was renewed for a second season in late 2020. The music was a staple of the first season, and I really hope the hits just keep on coming.Can't get enough of Masterpiece PBS's All Creatures Great and Small? You're in luck. I didn't catch the name of the opening song at that #FreeLucious rally, but it was everything and more. Maybe I missed something, but did anyone mention just where exactly Vernon is supposed to be these days? Also, was Boo Boo Kitty actually somewhat likeable this week? I know, I can't believe I said it.Īndre is still haunted over killing Vernon. Mimi had some strong eyes for Boo Boo Kitty, but even a little dirty dancing didn't keep Mimi from turning her back on Cookie. It's looking like Jamal is.sorry, I'm already bored by Michael's return and lost my train of thought.Īside from the aforementioned guest stars, the other big addition was Marisa Tomei, whose shady investor Mimi screwed over Cookie and ultimately let Lucious keep control of Empire! Sneaky, sneaky lady. Notice how his entire family has deserted him, Jamal? Do you want to end up like that? These two have always been my favorite pairing, and I'm hopeful they will find their way back to one another. The bromance between Jamal and Hakeem has cooled considerably, and I am not happy about it. And don't ever get it twisted, Empire is a deliriously entertaining nighttime soap opera affair! Although, I've seen enough soap operas to know that no one is ever truly dead until you see a body. So, at Cookie's request, Lucious dealt with Frank Gathers. They will always be family, for better or worse. No matter the circumstances or time they've spent apart, there is a respect there that will never go away.
#EMPIRE SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 REVIEW FULL#
I could go on and on about the chemistry between these two, and I have before, but it was on full display during their tense reunion. : It's crazy how I can love your ass and hate you at the same moment.It's crazy how I can love your ass and hate you at the same moment. The severed head in the box we've seen before (RIP Jemele), but it let Cookie know that things were serious, and she needed Lucious to help protect her and their family. For some reason it was in that moment that I could finally see why someone would ever possibly be scared of him. I have to admit, I did not buy Chris Rock as any kind of menacing figure until about the tail end of the hour when he met with Jemele and was eating that steak with a napkin draped across his chest. When she finally did visit him, it was for protection from the powerful, dangerous Chris Rock Frank Gathers. For all that Lucious has put her through over the years, why would she be running to visit him and make sure he was okay behind bars? : Did ya'll bother to tell him that when I was rotting away?Ĭookie's decision to not visit Lucious was justified, and I didn't blame her at all.It's refreshing, important and another reason why I feel this show has achieved such phenomenal fanfare.Ĭookie: Did ya'll bother to tell him that when I was rotting away?
Henson.Īs we talked about in our Empire Preview with showrunner Ilene Chaiken, there are always social issues permeating throughout this show, as they've never sought to shy away from tough topics. Cookie's impassioned speech about incarceration in the black community was another shining moment for Taraji P. How absurdly amazing was that? From Al Sharpton to Andre Leon Talley, it was clearly the place to be and Cookie and company pulled it off beautifully. Her main goal was to finish the takeover of Empire and finally force Lucious out, but she also wanted to publicly show her support for Lucious by throwing a massive rally that would court celebrities and investors alike. Speaking of Cookie, she was all over the place. Hakeem has come a long way from Empire Season 1, and while he's still a bit of a petulant child like 95% of the time, I enjoyed him more this week than I think I ever have.
