Politics: So Now They Care about Sex Crimes?

If you have been paying any attention to the Ketanji Brown Jackson Supreme Court nomination hearing, then you might have noticed that Republicans think that she has been too lenient on sentencing child pornography offenders. There have been plenty of other things of interest in the hearings as well. But this is what I’m writing a post about. Because after all that happened with the Kavanaugh hearings, it seems weird that only now do Republicans care about sex crimes. Only when it is a liberal judge facing hearings do they think consequences are needed against those accused of it.

 

Let’s start with the more recent hearings relating to Ketanji. She served on the United States Sentencing Committee. The Republicans have made it seem like she was giving sentences below the sentencing guideline or not having the accused faced mandatory minimums. But what they won’t tell you is that these sentences are not uncommonly lenient and nearly all of the others on the committee supported these decisions. And as she has pointed out herself in the hearings, some of this was done based on a law change that Congress made. Of course those in Congress wouldn’t like their own potential mistakes being brought back to them.

 

Why is this important and hypocritical? Well, as already stated, things were way different in their minds when it related to the Kavanaugh hearings. People still seek to discredit Christine Blasey Ford. They wonder why she never came forward sooner while also doing everything they can to make her seem like a liar who cannot possibly be telling the truth. But she is brave for not just getting on a flight despite her fear of flying but also facing the man she accused on national TV in front of many people to see.

 

I’ll point this out to anyone just blindly convinced that these allegiations were out to ruin the now justice Kavanaugh: if they wanted to ruin his reputation, why did people hate him BEFORE we knew of these allegations against him? You would have to have a good reputation already for these to mean anything.

 

There are a lot of things that will never make sense regarding Kavanaugh. But what does make sense is the eternal Karen “victimhood” that the right loves to claim. If they are ever accused of anything bad, they are the victims. And for the one person who doesn’t know what a Karen is, this will explain it to you.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_(slang)

 

It makes no sense that a majority of polled Republicans think that if the accusations against Kavanaugh are true, that it shouldn’t even matter and he should still be confirmed like he was. So if someone tries to rape someone, that shouldn’t matter? Are you sure about that? There was an ethics complaint against Kavanaugh, but it was dropped. It wasn’t because they didn’t find anything. Indeed, we’ll never know if they would have. They just thought that he had too high a job in order for the investigation to work.

 

Of course, this makes no sense in comparsion to Ketanji Brown Jackson. Suddenly, the right thinks that they can care about sex crimes and this doesn’t contradict their opinion regarding Kavanaugh. She isn’t even accused of any sex crime herself. They just think that she offered too little a sentence to those accused of one. As for Kavanaugh, they jump through hoops as they defend his accusations and seem to have no reservations with him being on the court himself with him having possibly committed sex crimes. As usual, they don’t care about the same thing or something even worse when a Republican might have done it.

Politics: The Supreme Court’s Backdoor

There is something very weird going on in the modern world of politics in relation to how the law is supposed to work at the highest level. It seems that John Roberts, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, doesn’t fully understand how the very court he serves on works to the point of inventing a backdoor with the legal challenges that come before it.

What do I mean by that? Well, whenever a Republican side is arguing in favor of something, but doing a terrible job at it, John doesn’t have the patients for these fools over their terrible legal arguments. But he does seem to always say in these decisions that fail can come back with a better argued case in the end. That’s not how the Supreme Court works. Well, it shouldn’t be how the Supreme Court works, but maybe that will change now.

You might point out the fact that there are a lot of Supreme Court decisions that overturned previous decisions. This seems normal, right? Why is this a new thing that changes too much of what’s going on?

Well, the cases that overturned previous ones were ones that took time to go through the whole court system again. They weren’t just ones that immediately returned to the court after they had failed right before it.

Another failure of this new policy is that they are excusing failures and giving these people a second chance that they don’t deserve. There have been numerous Supreme Court cases that reaffirmed the Affordable Care Act, for instance. All this time and Republicans have yet to find any evidence that it has actually harmed people. This is despite the alternative fact that people have not kept their doctor under it. And while the courts have still ruled against a repeal with John even seeming like a constant vote in favor of it, he seems to keep arguing that if they actually had good arguments, that it can come up in court.

This isn’t how the court is supposed to work, as stated before. The decisions of the Supreme Court are supposed to be final. They aren’t supposed to be just overturned on later decisions willy nilly as if the whole process to get there didn’t matter at all whatsoever. And while it could take a while for any of these decisions to reach the court again, it should not be the role of the court to overturn what it doesn’t like whenever it wants to.

Cast Update 3-4-2022

I don’t know who here has read the political posts in my blog on The Good Fight, but I have decided to delay this month’s post until later in the month until I’m able to write and get it done. It likely won’t be done this coming Thursday when it was supposed to be the one before. But I can say that this might be the only time that I get it done in the end. And that’s all that I can think of mentioning in the introduction this time around.

 

Spin-off information- My review of the spin-off will follow later in this post. It will probably stay for as long as the show is still on. If the show leaves the air, then I’ll probably cut it. I did create a blog for it. I guess that I will just have to keep you updated on when it might be released in the future.

 

Link to blog about it: https://adamdeckerthegoodfighttvshow.blogspot.com/

 

Julianna Margulies: I don’t see what else she is doing right now at the moment, but hopefully will in future posts. I didn’t find anything relating to her from this update so there’s nothing to include here in this update here in the end right now. She has a recurring role right now on The Morning Show, an Apple TV drama. It might be more of a major role, but I don’t know how much yet.

 

Josh Charles: He will be in something new called We Own This City. It is nice to see him doing something worth covering in this blog again as we tend to lose a lot of his updates as they just aren’t worth covering anymore. But this one is for now.

 

We Own This City: This is about Freddie Gray. It is a planned miniseries on HBO. It does not have a trailer just yet. But it is an interesting idea for something that we will hopefully see presented in the best way possible to learn more about it. It currently has a release date of April 25, 2022.

 

Graham Phillips: We’ll see if we see more of him there in the future or not. Hopefully, he will be doing more than just that in the future. He is set to be in Keeper of the Cup. I hope that he does more over time, although what he has done, I haven’t been able to see.

 

Keeper of the Cup: This is about disappointed fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It has no release date or trailer just yet. I can’t tell that much about it just yet. But I do think that this could be a heist film, but that isn’t yet clear.

 

Archie Panjabi: This actress did a lot after leaving the show. She is doing Departure, mentioned more in the next part of this blog as usual. She is set to be in the third season of Snowpiercer. That’s all that I can think of putting in here for now.

 

Departure: This has been released. It is a Canadian show about the search for victims of a plane crash. It will air on the Global network that I don’t think that I’ll be able to see any time soon. But I’ll keep track of this as much as I’m able to. This is on the Peacock streaming service for those in America available now. A review now follows.

 

Departure: Show Description- A plane goes missing and people have to figure out what went on. Behind the Scenes- Archie Panjabi from The Good Wife and Blindspot is a character on this show. I think that she is the lead. My Thoughts- It seemed pretty good, although I’m not sure how there will be enough material for the show to last. I also have no idea how much beyond the first episode is available for free. Long Term Prospects- I don’t think that this will last, although it can. It is worth noting that since this is a Canadian show, the ratings here don’t matter. Where to Find- Available to stream on Peacock

 

Snowpiercer: This is a TNT TV show. I don’t know when it airs. It is about people on a train in a dystopian future. There is a lot of drama and classism. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to see this series or not. But it will remain in the updates as long as Archie remains a part of this show in the future.

 

Christine Baranski: After rejecting various pilots and other projects in the hopes of getting a spin-off from the Good Wife, she got what was wanted and will be on a Good Wife spin-off. It will only be available on CBS All Access (and hopefully DVDs in the future). The spin-off is called The Good Fight. She’ll also be in a movie called Bad Moms’ Moms. We’ll see what becomes of that. Another thing she will be in is The Gilded Age. That might be it for now.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on Paramount+ to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online at Paramount+ and some is on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Bad Moms’ Moms: This has no trailer and no release date just yet. It doesn’t have a plot yet outside of being the third installment of the Bad Moms franchise. I imagine this would likely relate to the end of Bad Moms Christmas. Still, I hope that they come up with a better title for it. Is there something wrong with “Bad Grandmas” as a title?

 

The Gilded Age: This is a TV show. It is out now on HBO. You might have remembered me talk about this in my TV show blog where I put it with the cancelled shows since it was never made. Well, just like with Emerald City, this has found new life again and is set to air on HBO. It is airing there now. There is a teaser for this show now:

 

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYBuU32B8PI

 

Thoughts on teaser: I wish that we could find out more about this, but I guess that we will have to wait until something else is known. It actually says more in the description of this video link than anything this teaser mentions. I hope that more can be known in the future with an official trailer and not just this one. If you don’t see one in the next post, then you might not see one at all. But this could be in the blog for a while regardless of if I’m able to see it.

 

Matt Czuchry: All of this time that you’ve seen me doing updates for him in this blog, you only saw me mentioning the reboot of Gilmore Girls. Well, I can finally take that off the update list and report on something new he is finally doing. It is a TV show called The Resident.

 

The Resident: This is a show that is on at 8/7 Central on Tuesdays on FOX. I’m not sure if there’s a better way of putting it than calling it a medical drama, which is what it would be. The main thing that would make it different is it focusing more on medicine than other shows have, according to one description that I read of it. That description may be wrong upon seeing the trailer, although I’d have to see the show to know for sure. A review of the show now follows.

 

The Resident: Status- Currently on 8/7 Central on FOX on Tuesdays. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this for my Good Wife blog and to fulfill my promise to watch a midseason replacement on FOX this season. Description- This is a medical drama that features different doctors, some new, and there are various problems at the hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot that is hard to sum up easily. It should make more sense as it goes along. Notable People- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good Wife and Gilmore girls. Pros- It points out the flaws that can happen in a hospital, but does it in a good way. It can seem more humanizing than most medical dramas that I’ve seen in the past. Cons- It seems similar to House. The lead can be strange and arrogant. Note to Parents- It airs with a content adversary warning in some episodes so that’s all you really need to know about it. Recommendation- I’d say that this is good to stay into if you want to. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch this until the very end. Whether I’ll be able to see every episode or not remains to be seen. Prediction- It is hard to tell for sure this early, but I think that it might last a bit for now. Reception: mixed. Grade: B.

 

Makenzie Vega: She has been working since The Good Wife ended. Sadly, she hasn’t been doing that much. I haven’t been able to find something that I could review just yet. I hope that she ends up doing something good soon. Otherwise, I guess this will be one less person to worry about. She will be in something called Growing up Gorman.

 

Growing up Gorman- The name of this movie is based on a character from the movie. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The person in this wants to win a battle of the bands competition. We’ll see if it avoids being cliché or not.

 

Alan Cumming: Here’s an actor who’s known for starring in Broadway plays and productions. Perhaps you have seen him on the Tony Awards that you always watch because you can’t afford to see Broadway any other way. It looks like he has a lot of future projects in the works. He is in Bright in a Hollow Sky. Yet another thing that he appears to be doing is a TV movie called Going Back. There’s also a new project called Run. He might also be in a show called The Prince. That’s a lot of projects to keep track of. He will also be in Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men. And another thing that he seems to be doing is called Schmigadoon! One last thing he’s in now is Marlowe.

 

Bright in a Hollow Sky: This is a movie about people trying to find what they have lost by going on a road trip to do so. It doesn’t have a release date or trailer just yet. Hopefully it can do better than other projects where nothing seems to come from it.

 

Going Back- This does not have a release date or trailer just yet. It focuses on a man who creates a frenzy by pretending to be a teenager. It seems to be set in Scotland, so that might be where it might be released. Hopefully, it will be released here too. This is no longer on imdb.

 

Run: This has no release date, but it does have a trailer. The plot is about a man who seems to have lost something important and will try to live life in a different way from this point forward. I’m guessing that running in some way will factor into the plot. It might be out, but I can’t find much information about it right now. I don’t think that it is yet.

 

Trailer Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8900306/videoplayer/vi3245521689?ref_=tt_ov_vi

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks very good and interesting, although I’m not sure that I can make anything out of the plot just yet. I’ll have to see what becomes of it in the future. Whatever it is, I hope to see it and want to watch it, not just out of an obligation to doing this blog in the future.

 

The Prince: This is an animated show that seeks to look into the life of a prince that might be real as the show is obviously a comedy in the meantime. It is currently available now. It has no trailer right now. I’m not yet sure what network this will be on. This has been cancelled.

 

Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men: This is possibly out now. Apparently in this movie, a mother tells her daughter about her sex life in hopes that her daughter will learn from this. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBpixut4sl4

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like a very different movie than what I originally thought that it would be. It looks kind of dark, but could be worth seeing despite how this could be emotional and quite a serious topic being discussed. I had no idea of Nathan Fillion’s involvement in this so now I’ll have to include this in both my facebook groups of Drive and Firefly: Where are They Now?

 

Schmigadoon!: This is available now. It is streaming online. It is about a backpacking couple who find a magical town of sorts. There is no trailer for this yet, as I would have to guess that they haven’t filmed this yet. We’ll have to see what happens with this over time. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBQmIoSJHOs

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, I’m still not entirely sure what to make of this, but this could be fun in some ways, although I can’t tell if it looks interesting enough to me or not. It does seem strange, but what were you expecting from a musical? I guess that I’ll have to see what all might happen, but this is yet another streaming service that I don’t have and thus will probably not get to see this. Thus, I’d need a show or movie to be on them before I can put a review for it in this blog of mine.

 

Marlowe: This is named after the last name of the character in the movie that this is. There is no release date or trailer for this yet. It is about a PI tasked to find a woman’s ex lover and, as usual, there is a much bigger case that winds up going on as a result.

 

Zach Grenier: Well, he’s finally doing things, such as being in a movie called The Vizitant. He’s also in The White Stuff. He will be a fourth season regular on The Good Fight. We’ll see what else he does over the course of time while still working.

 

The Vizitant: This has an unknown release date. Apparently, this movie is about a defeated politician who is given the power to change the world by a mysterious entity. Perhaps the Monitor is giving him the book of destiny. Whatever will happen, I hope to find out more when there is a trailer for this. I hope for a release date soon as well.

 

The White Stuff: This is now set for release in 2021. In it, a man learns something very weird about himself: he can’t see race. This is a short of some sort. It sounds interesting, but I have no idea if I’ll be able to see any shorts like this one or not as I wouldn’t know when they are available. I do not know yet when I might be able to see this. This does not appear to have a rating or later time frame of when it could be out other than last year.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on Paramount+ to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online only at Paramount+. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Matthew Goode: He has been doing a lot of projects since leaving The Good Wife. I might as well get to mentioning all of them. A thing he appears to be doing is Medieval. Yet another movie he’ll be in is The King’s Man. We’ll see what happens with them. He will also be in The Offer.

 

Medieval: This is a movie with a release year of 2022. I don’t know if this is based on a true story or not. But it seems like it is about two people and how they seek to win against an army of people. They probably have people helping them with it.

 

The King’s Man: This looks like it will be a prequel to the Kingsman series of movies. I’ll probably post review of the other movies in the series at some point. That will at least give me an excuse to watch them again. It is currently on DVD. There is a trailer for this. There are newer trailers that I don’t care about right now, although I should have as that would have meant more than just the thoughts on a teaser being known.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82JHkkPw54

 

Thoughts on trailer: I can’t gather much from a teaser like this, but may keep it in here instead of going with an official trailer later. You see, this looks interesting to me like all the other movies in the franchise have thus far. I look forward to seeing it. I just wish that a bit more could be revealed about it.

The Offer: This is set to be released on Paramount+ on April 28, 2022. It is about the making of The Godfather. I haven’t seen The Godfather yet. Maybe I will some day. I wonder if one could enjoy this while not having seen The Godfather. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Z9H9mG-SI

 

Thoughts on trailer: This seems far too vague a trailer for this to look any good at all. This might be good, but the trailer clearly isn’t. I won’t know what else to say about this except that I hope it can do justice to the iconic movie and actually be interesting. This show does not look that interesting based on the trailer. But while I think that the trailer is bad, I’m just not sure if the show would be.

 

Cush Jumbo: She will be appearing in a TV show called The Beast Must Die. I can’t tell much about this right now. But I will talk more about this in the next paragraph since that is what I do in this blog now. She will also be in something called Stay Close. Another thing that she’s doing now is Balestra.

 

The Beast Must Die: I have no idea what it is about right now, but hopefully will be able be able to see it, but it might not be on American television. This is available now on British television. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAb0VPSKq_w

 

Thoughts on trailer: The trailer seems vague in some ways. It could be interesting, but just seems generic in some ways. What is there even to make sense of this? What all could I say? I’m just not sure that I care right now.

 

Stay Close: This is out now. It is a TV show that I think will be on Netflix. It is about how three people’s lives are affected by something horrible that happens. But maybe some good can come out of it? There is a trailer for it:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nonC9TyX9hM

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks complicated with many layers to it. Maybe this would be a good thing to watch. Maybe it would be too confusing or hard to follow. I’m not sure how this makes sense with the description that I have for it now thus far. I guess at least I know this is a mystery. But is it one worth keeping up with? This is over already so I’m taking it out of the updates.

 

Balestra: It is hard to understand some of the plot. It has an unknown release date. It has no trailer at the moment. From what I understand, a disgraced athlete tries to do some new thing that allows her to extend her training hours but causes reality to blur.

 

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: He is now in the cast of The Walking Dead. He’ll also be in The Integrity of Joseph Chambers. I wonder what else he might do over time. He’s currently also in a project called Fall. I guess we’ll see if that’s it or not.

 

The Walking Dead: This is a popular gory cable zombie drama about humans trying to save themselves from what is known as The Walking Dead, or walkers, zombies who are often the bad guys. But who else are causing problems?

 

Review: Status- Currently on AMC at times. Why I’ve seen it- I borrowed this on DVD from a friend in order to review it for this blog. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from comic books of the same name. Description- A man wakes up from a coma to find that he now lives in a world with zombies, his old world gone. Notable People- Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who was in The Good Wife, is now on this show. Pros- It has a good premise that works for the most part. Cons- It can be too slow moving and seem longer than it needs to be. Note to Parents- I wouldn’t let your kids watch this. Teens might be safe, but I might steer clear of that too. Recommendation- Maybe this is worth watching if you like this sort of show. I’d put it at a toss-up myself as to whether or not to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch the whole first season on DVD. Whether or not I’ll see any more after that is unknown. Prediction- This is currently airing its final season. Reception: largely positive. Grade: B-.

 

The Integrity of Joseph Chambers: This is set for release sometime in 2023. I have no idea what the plot would relate to or if it relates to a true story like I think that it might, but just as easily might not. I’ll wait to see what this might be about.

 

Fall: This project has very little known about it thus far. I don’t know yet what type of project this is about or even what it is about. Its release date is July 7, 2022. Maybe I’ll find out more about this over time.

 

Robert King: Here is where we switch to writing credits. He and his wife are helping with The Good Fight. He’s also doing a TV show called Evil. He’s working on another TV show called Girls with Guns. He’s also doing Would I Lie to You? Another thing that he is doing right now is Your Honor. And he’s doing Happy Face. That’s a lot of projects.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on Paramount+ to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online only at Paramount+. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently streaming its second season now. We’ll see how long it might last beyond its current known run.

 

Evil: Status- Currently streaming its second season. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I had planned to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. With it now on streaming, I doubt that I’ll be able to watch any new episodes of this again. Prediction- I might last if the good streaming numbers keep up. Otherwise, it will be toast pretty soon after that. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

 

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. I could not find out more information upon further research as I doubt google would be helpful with this.

 

Would I Lie to You?: In this show, people are told stories and they have to tell reality and fiction apart. I hope that this is different from To Tell the Truth. This will start airing on April 9, 2022. It is set to air on the CW.

 

Your Honor: I forget if I mentioned this show before but got confused by it. But this is a show that is currently airing somewhere, even though it is on hiatus right now. It is a courtroom drama that is renewed for season 2.

 

Happy Face: This is a TV show. I have no idea what network this would air on. It has an unknown airdate right now. In this show, we learn that a child discovers that her father is a serial killer. This could be interesting, but it better avoid being anything like what Prodigal Son wound up being like.

 

Michelle King: Since she is married to the previous person, it would appear that she would probably have the same projects in the works as her husband. This section may be redundant since any similar projects that these people have would be the same thing and thus have the same information. She is working on The Good Fight. She’s also doing Evil and Girls with Guns. She will also be involved with Would I Lie to You? She’s doing Your Honor as well. Yet another thing she’s doing is Happy Face.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on Paramount+ to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online only at Paramount+. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently streaming its second season now. We’ll see how long it might last beyond its current known run.

 

Evil: Status- Currently streaming its second season. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I had planned to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. With it now on streaming, I doubt that I’ll be able to watch any new episodes of this again. Prediction- I might last if the good streaming numbers keep up. Otherwise, it will be toast pretty soon after that. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

 

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. This will likely be about girls with guns. But more of a plot beyond that is unknown.

 

Would I Lie to You?: In this show, people are told stories and they have to tell reality and fiction apart. I hope that this is different from To Tell the Truth. This will start airing on April 9, 2022. It is set to air on the CW.

 

Your Honor: I forget if I mentioned this show before but got confused by it. But this is a show that is currently airing somewhere, even though it is on hiatus right now. It is a courtroom drama that is renewed for season 2. This airs on Showtime.

 

Happy Face: This is a TV show. I have no idea what network this would air on. It has an unknown airdate right now. In this show, we learn that a child discovers that her father is a serial killer. This could be interesting, but it better avoid being anything like what Prodigal Son wound up being like.

 

Erica Tazel: This former Good Fight actress has projects in the works. I look forward to seeing what I can of her work in the future. She is in The Devil You Know. She will also be in Heart of a Lion. And the wings of a bat? Because it’s midnight!

 

The Devil You Know: In this movie, a man has to try to make things right for himself after spiraling one way and not going back to his dark ways of the past or something like that. It has no release date at this moment. Hopefully, one will happen. This might be on Tubi at some point, if it isn’t already at this point in time. It does not appear to be out yet.

 

Heart of a Lion: This is set for release on April 7, 2023. It is about George Foreman. That is all that I really know about it at this moment. There’s nothing else really to say and talk about. I just want this paragraph to be a certain length.

 

Poppy Montgomery: I don’t know if she acts less now than she used to. We’ll see what she does. She does not have any projects in the works as of this post. Maybe this will change by a future post. For now, there is nothing else new for this part.

 

Jaimie Alexander: This Blindspot actress will now be the first alumni from that show to be covered in this blog. I actually now have another one covered in a different blog. After not being in the third Thor movie, she will be returning for the fourth one, Thor: Love and Thunder. It’s about time that I can finally include parts of the MCU in this or any of my blogs. You might see me review every MCU film now at some point, or at least the ones relevant to Thor which will include the first three Thor movies and more than likely the first four Avengers movies. She’s also set to be in Chase. Another thing that she will be in is The Minute You Wake up Dead.

 

Thor: Love and Thunder: This is set for release on July 8, 2022. There isn’t much of a plot known to this yet. I have no idea what the conflict would be based on the title. But I look forward to the film and will now have to get a bunch of other MCU films on DVD and finally get caught up on what I haven’t seen of the franchise at some point.

 

Chase: This has no release date or trailer yet. It sounds interesting and follows a missing person plot that I find interesting for some reason. It does throw some twists at you with it being a man looking for the woman he is divorcing, potentially spoiling the end if it turns out to be a happy one for him and her. But I look forward to it in time.

 

The Minute You Wake up Dead: This doesn’t have a trailer yet. It also doesn’t have a release date. This is about a person who gets involved in scams that lead to murders. And that’s all that I can know about it at the moment.

 

Enrique Murciano: He is doing Father of the Bride. He’s also in The Night Agent. There isn’t too much else to say about him other than that so far as there aren’t any other projects that I see for him.

 

Father of the Bride: This has no trailer yet. It has a release date of June 16, 2022. It seems to be about a Cuban-American family dealing with his upcoming daughter’s wedding and a lot of other issues too, potentially. I guess it could be similar to some of what we’ve seen already, or maybe not.

 

The Night Agent: This is a planned Netflix series. It has no release date yet or trailer. But it does have a plot: a person low on the FBI totem pole suddenly is thrust into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the White House. That’s a better way of phrasing it than the grammatically incorrect way it is currently described on imdb, which might be a sentence fragment in the end.

 

Hugh Bonneville: This actor from Downton Abbey will be the first of any people from that show to be covered in this blog here. (That show is on my second list of things to watch from right now, but I have not yet been able to watch it.) Anyways, he has lots of things in the works right now. A thing that he’s doing is Bernie’s Gift. He’ll also be in The Amazing Maurice. Another thing he is set to be in is Downton Abbey: A New Era. And he’ll also be in I Came By. We’ll see what else he’ll be in.

 

Bernie’s Gift: This has no release date or trailer right now. The plot sounds complicated from what I understand of it online. This relates to a man recruiting two people in order to go on an adventure of sorts relating to food and other things.

 

The Amazing Maurice: This is set for release on January 6, 2023. This seems to be a take on the pied piper story from a previously unseen cat’s perspective. I hope that they can improve on this fucked up story that kids are told for no good reason. There is not yet a trailer for this as it is still filming at the moment of the writing of this paragraph.

 

Downton Abbey: A New Era: This is set for release on May 20, 2022. It is a follow up movie to the first movie set after the TV series in general. I wouldn’t know for sure what all this might cover, but I look forward to seeing it. There is a teaser for this now:

 

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaSIjLJJRuc

 

Thoughts on teaser: Apparently, there are more secrets to be known about one of the characters. This may be setting up a new TV show, but I guess we’ll see about that in the end if that will happen or not. I can’t get much out of this, other than the fact that there will be a new castle in France. But what else could happen in the film?

 

I Came By: This has no trailer yet. It is set for release in 2022. The plot is about someone who does graffiti that discovers a secret that could harm him and others. It does not sound too original, but could be interesting. I might never know.

 

Sullivan Stapleton: He has two different projects in the works. You’ll recognize one of them as it is Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men. I wonder if there should be a shorter title for it. Another thing he is set to do is After the Verdict.

 

Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men: This is possibly out now. Apparently in this movie, a mother tells her daughter about her sex life in hopes that her daughter will learn from this. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBpixut4sl4

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like a very different movie than what I originally thought that it would be. It looks kind of dark, but could be worth seeing despite how this could be emotional and quite a serious topic being discussed. I had no idea of Nathan Fillion’s involvement in this so now I’ll have to include this in both my facebook groups of Drive and Firefly: Where are They Now?

 

After the Verdict: This is set to air sometime in 2022. It is about four people and their lives relating to a high profile murder trial. I don’t yet know where this is airing or streaming, but I do plan to watch if I can as it could be interesting.

 

Hank Steinberg: He has no projects known in the works right now. I hope to see more from him in the future. We’ll see if more happens or not. He might appear at some point in time in something, but this has not happened yet.

 

Jessica Brown Findlay: She’s in a lot of projects. One is called Whatever After. A second is Life after Life. A third thing is The Hanging Sun. A fourth thing that she is in is Iris Warriors. There is nothing else to keep track of regarding her just yet.

 

Iris Warriors: This is set for release on April 2, 2022. In this movie, two warriors have to fight against their evil mother to try to bring color back to the universe. They have to bring light and beauty into the world. You’d think that they’d win, but I guess that we’ll see. There is a trailer for this:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcG_UGrv4wI

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks all like, huh? What? Huh? I think that this looks like it could have some good parts to it, but there are confusing aspects. This is set during what seems to be World War II, but that’s just a frame story while this dancing weird thing going on. Is this a kid’s movie then? I’m confused by some of this.

 

Whatever After: This has no release date yet. It also has no plot. It is a miniseries of some sort. What else is there for me to say about it? I’m unsure. Hopefully more about this will be known over time. One can only hope that it will.

 

The Hanging Sun: This has no release date at the moment. In it, a hitman who is on the run seeks refuge in a village, but there are other things going on as well. I don’t want to just copy and paste what imbd says as I don’t think that I can.

 

Life after Life: Based on a book, this TV show is about a woman who keeps dying and being reborn over and over again, living out different lives in the end. It has no release date yet and I’m unsure what network or streaming service it might be on or if it will be in the American places or if it will be foreign. It is hard to know what goes on with projects sometimes.
