Laura went to see Gwen so she could explain what she did. Gwen allowed her to explain. Laura told her she would have done something if she knew that Gwen’s mother wouldn’t have taken care of her. Gwen thought she wouldn’t have done anything. Laura said she was thinking about her own family. Xander wanted to know why Victor wasn’t letting Philip quit. Victor said Philip is his son and Titan was going to be his one day. Xander wanted to know what was going to happen to him. Victor said they would both be CEOs. Susan went to see Kristen. Kristen asked her about Brady. While they were talking, Susan told her Chloe was going to see her. Laura told Gwen that she felt like she couldn’t let her mother turn her daughter’s life upside down. Gwen wanted to know what she did to Jennifer. Laura didn’t want to tell her. Gwen wanted to know what she did that would justify turning her mother away. Laura told her that she slept with Jack. Gwen couldn’t believe that Laura slept with Jack. Laura told her she was sick and never met Jack. She told Gwen that she met Jack at the Meadow. She said it was a treatment center. Gwen said it was romantic. Laura said that wasn’t how it was. She said she went to see Jennifer and then saw Jack. Gwen asked if she tried to keep it from Jennifer. Gwen said the secret came out and then her mother came to town. Laura said she couldn’t come between Jack and Jennifer. She said Abby needed her parents. Gwen asked if she thought about what she needed. Laura said she knew it sounded cold, but she had to fix things. Xander was furious that Victor didn’t make Philip pay for what he did. Xander reminded Victor that he was the one who discovered that Philip was laundering money. He wanted Philip to be demoted, but Victor didn’t want to demote him. Xander said he didn’t know what he was doing there. Susan told Kristen that she saw Chloe getting ready to see Brady. Kristen wanted to know what Chloe said about Brady. Susan said Chloe told her that she was glad Brady was okay and that he meant a lot to her. Susan asked if that was sweet. Kristen said it wasn’t because Chloe was trying to take Brady from her while she was in prison.

Gwen told Laura that her life changed because two messed up people couldn’t be honest with each other. Gwen thought she might have had a father and a home. She thought she might have been different. She thought she and Abby might have been close. She said she might not have been a manipulative b*tch. Susan thought Kristen wanted her to spy on Brady and Chloe and report back to her. Kristen said she wanted to watch them herself. Victor told Xander that he and Philip were going to be CEO. He said nothing was changing. Xander said nothing ever did. He said no matter how much Philip messed up, he was given the benefit of the doubt. He said no matter what he did it was never enough. He brought up how he switched the babies for him. Victor said he did it for Sarah. Xander said he did it for him so he could protect Maggie. He said he did a lot and it was for nothing. Victor wanted to know what he was trying to say. Xander told him that he quit. Susan wanted to know how Kristen was going to keep an eye on Brady and Chloe while she was in prison. Susan asked if she was breaking out of prison. Kristen said she had a way to walk out without people knowing about it. Xander told Victor that he hoped he would find his place at Titan. Victor told him he wasn’t going to chase after him. Xander said it wouldn’t have done anything if he did because it was too late. When Xander left, Victor told Philip that he enjoyed what happened. Philip said he didn’t and walked out. Laura apologized to Gwen for what she did. Gwen asked if she could give her her life back. Laura told her she could have her family. Gwen said it was too late. Laura said it wasn’t too late. Gwen asked if she thought Abby would accept her as her sister after she slept with her husband. She said Jack said he wanted to be her father, but it was just guilt. She told Laura that the damage she did couldn’t be undone. Laura apologized. She said it was a mistake for her to come. Gwen stopped her from leaving.

Review of “The Equalizer”

TV Review!

Cast of "The Equalizer" on CBS

“The Equalizer” on CBS Review by Suzanne 2/8/21

It’s nice to see a woman (particularly an African-American woman) kicking ass and taking names on TV. However, I’m not too fond of the concept of this show (as I wasn’t of the original series, either). That is, I’m not too fond of vigilante justice, whether it comes from a cop or a former CIA agent. Sure, I’m fine with vigilantes like Dexter, Batman, and Supergirl because those are not at all realistic. They’re fantasy shows. No real person could be like them. No one person should have the power to just shoot people and get away with it. I’m not saying that this show is gritty and realistic, because it’s not. It doesn’t quit fit into a fantasy world, either. It walks a fine line between reality and fantasy, much like most broadcast TV shows. If you want gritty reality, watch shows on AMC or HBO. Those who loved the original 80’s series, or the Denzel Washington movies, may not enjoy this one as much for that reason.

In this new series, at least they’ve toned down the violence from the original show. Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah) doesn’t seem to kill people. She does use violence, but she doesn’t kill. I’m not sure if that makes the show better or worse. Perhaps they think that having a woman killer won’t fly on broadcast TV. I hope not. It makes sense, though, because of the changes they made in the story (compared to the original 1980’s version). Edward Woodward’s McCall went after violent offenders (the focus was on the villains). This McCall defends women that are being targeted (the focus is on the victims). This makes her a little less vigilante and a little more superhero. Because it’s 2021, she has a computer geek helping her out (like most dramas do now). Woodward’s McCall hid in the shadows, at night; while she works during the day, using disguises.

What makes this show great is that she has a sordid past that she’s trying to make up for. She has a police detective who both helps her and wants to put her behind bars. This makes for an interesting dynamic. They also have a sexual attraction between them. Besides making up for her past, McCall experienced some serious trauma that she’s having to deal with, which affects her daughter. This makes her a very interesting character to watch, which is great if you watch the show.

MORE INFORMATION:

THE EQUALIZER is a reimagining of the classic series starring Academy Award¼ nominee and multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah (“Chicago,” “Bessie”) as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn. McCall presents to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is The Equalizer – an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who’s also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption. Robyn’s clandestine work and her personal life collide when her smart and observant daughter, Delilah, and her aunt Vi, who lives with Robyn to help her balance life as a working mother, discover her secret career as a vigilante. While Robyn contends with uncertainty at home, she is joined in her pursuit of justice by William Bishop, her former CIA handler and longtime friend; Melody “Mel” Bayani, an edgy bar owner, and sniper from Robyn’s past; and Harry Keshegian, a paranoid and brilliant white-hat hacker. As Robyn aids the oppressed and exploited, she sometimes works with Marcus Dante, an NYPD detective who once sought to uncover her identity, but now respects the need for Robyn’s type of justice even as he often questions her methods.

Begins its second season Sunday, Oct. 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and available live and on demand on the CBS app and Paramount+.

    CLARICE, from acclaimed executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet, and starring Rebecca Breeds (“Pretty Little Liars”) in the title role, is a deep dive into the untold personal story of FBI Agent Clarice Starling as she returns to the field in 1993, one year after the events of “The Silence of the Lambs.” Brilliant and vulnerable, Clarice’s bravery gives her an inner light that draws monsters and madmen to her. However, her complex psychological makeup that comes from a challenging childhood empowers her to begin to find her voice while working in a man’s world, as well as escape the family secrets that have haunted her throughout her life.

    A new two-hour “20/20” reports on Benita Alexander, a television producer who fell head over heels in love with world-renowned surgeon Paolo Macchiarini while producing a report on his revolutionary new surgery technique. He took her to exclusive destinations around the world and after he proposed, as wedding planning unfolded, Macchiarini surprised Alexander by telling her about VIP guests that were slated to attend, including Elton John and John Legend. He also shocked her by announcing one of his patients offered to officiate the wedding. That patient happened to be the pope. But what Alexander thought was a perfect match turned out to be a web of lies. There was a storm brewing in Macchiarini’s professional life: several colleagues alleged he committed scientific misconduct by falsifying data to make his new surgery technique – performing trachea transplants using a synthetic trachea – appear more successful than it was. “20/20” co-anchor Amy Robach sat down for an interview with Alexander who opened up aout how she fell for the whirlwind relationship and was blinded by love, discovered a snag in the wedding plan that caused everything to unravel, traveled to his home in Spain where she came face to face with a shocking surprise and dealt with the revelations after uncovering the truth. The two-hour program also features interviews with those who witnessed Macchiarini’s downfall up close including Alexander’s close friends and family and Macchiarini’s former colleagues who blew the whistle. “20/20” also reports on the most recent developments including the criminal charges of aggravated assault brought against Macchiarini for his alleged medical crimes, which Macchiarini denies, and features a trove of home videos recorded during their romance. “20/20” airs Friday, Feb. 12 (9:01–11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC.

  • CBS 48 HOURS – Saturday, February 13 Show More
    Airing 2/13/21 (Saturday) (10:00 PM) THE FAMILY OF MICHELLE TROCONIS, WHO HAS BEEN CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRESUMED MURDER OF A MISSING CONNECTICUT MOTHER, SPEAKS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME ON “48 HOURS: WHAT DOES THE OTHER WOMAN KNOW? THE DISAPPEARANCE OF JENNIFER DULOS” Preview
    Claudia Troconis Tells Erin Moriarty: “This Has Shattered Our Life Because My Sister Is Not the Person That They’re Saying – and She Would Never Be Capable of Anything They’ve Said That She Has Done.”
    The Broadcast Also Features Excerpts from Newly Released Interrogation Videos, Some Exclusive to “48 Hours,” Showing Detectives Questioning Michelle Troconis
    Michelle Troconis has been dubbed “the other woman” in a headline-making story about a Connecticut mother of five, Jennifer Dulos, who vanished and is believed to have been killed by her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos. He was charged with murder, but died by suicide weeks after his arrest leaving Troconis the focus of the investigation, as she faces multiple charges in Jennifer Dulos’ presumed murder. Now, in their first interview, Troconis’ family members defend her in 48 HOURS: “What Does The Other Woman Know? The Disappearance of Jennifer Dulos” to be broadcast Saturday, Feb. 13 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
    “This has shattered our life because my sister is not the person that they’re saying,” says Michelle Troconis’ sister Claudia Troconis. “And she never would be capable of anything they’ve said that she has done.”
    Michelle Troconis, Fotis Dulos’ girlfriend, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder, evidence tampering and hindering prosecution – all charges she denies. And in some exclusive excerpts from interrogation videos, she insists she has no information about Jennifer Dulos’ disappearance.
    “I have no idea what happened to Jennifer. I have no idea where Jennifer is,” Troconis tells police.
    When Detective John Kimball tells her they believe she has information she’s not sharing, Troconis responds: “I don’t have, John, but I can walk the whole world with you if you want
I can do whatever you want but I didn’t do it.”
    Jennifer Dulos disappeared on May 24, 2019 after dropping her five children off at school. Police found her abandoned SUV near a park three and a half miles away from her Connecticut home. At the time, she was in the middle of an ugly divorce and custody battle with her husband, Fotis Dulos. Investigators believe Dulos attacked Jennifer that morning, killing her, and then disposed of her body. Jennifer’s body has never been found. Fotis Dulos died in January 2020 after attempting to take his own life.
    Michelle Troconis is currently out on bond. Her family is adamant she is innocent. They say Troconis is not the person portrayed in stories about the case.
    “Did your sister have anything to do with the death of Jennifer Dulos?” Moriarty asks Claudia Troconis.
    “No, she did not,” Claudia Troconis responds.
    “Do you believe that Michelle knows where Jennifer’s body is?” Moriarty asks Danielle Troconis.
    “My sister is innocent,” Daniela Troconis responds. “Absolutely not.”
    Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos and the case against Fotis Dulos and Michelle Troconis through interviews with their families, friends, investigators, and Dulos and Troconis’ attorneys. The broadcast also includes a 2019 visit to Fotis Dulos’ home, with Dulos and his family, around Christmas, just 10 days before he was arrested for murder, and an interview with Dulos’ attorney, Norm Pattis, on the day his client died.
    48 HOURS: “What Does The Other Woman Know? The Disappearance of Jennifer Dulos” is produced by Liza Finley and Elena DiFiore. Richard Fetzer is the field producer.

Recap written by Suzanne

At Brooke’s house, Hope looks for a favorite doll of Beth’s that’s missing. Brooke comes in, so she tells her about it. Brooke tries to console Hope, who’s putting on a brave face for the sake of her family. Predictably, Brooke blames Steffy for not turning Liam away. Brooke has faith that Hope and Liam will stay together, no matter what. Hope goes to help Liam look for the doll. Meanwhile, Thomas tells Liam that he saw the missing doll in the kitchen because Beth and Donna were playing in a tea party earlier. Liam wonders why he’s still there, since he’s done recuperating. That argue about Hope and Steffy. Thomas points out all the things that Liam did wrong that night. Hope walks in while Thomas is asking how he thinks Hope feels. Hope tells them that she doesn’t know how she feels. She’s not sure how she’ll be able to forgive him if Steffy’s baby is his. Liam confesses that he’s not the same man he used to be. He needs to earn her trust back with his actions, and it’ll take time. He won’t ask for her forgiveness any more. He asks her for a chance to prove that he’s worth forgiveness. She sobs at his words.

At Forrester, Steffy chats with Ridge in their office about some work things, but she loses her train of thought. Ridge knows how that feels and asks if she needs a break. She has some bad news for him. She tells him about sleeping with Liam and her pregnancy. He’s surprised and also shocked that Brooke knows. Also at Forrester, Paris talks to someone on the phone about her foundation work. Zoe walks in and demands that she hang up. Paris reluctantly asks to call the person back. Zoe insists on talking about Carter, who is close to dumping her forever. Zoe tells her about Ridge seeing her with Zende, and how he spilled the tea to Carter. Now Carter wants to end their relationship. Zoe can’t believe how she screwed all this up. She blames Paris for telling Ridge that she was after Zende. Paris denies that and says that Ridge just got a hunch about them. They argue.

Hope and Liam sit around at home, waiting to hear from Steffy about her paternity test results. Hope tries to stay upbeat while Liam keeps beating himself up and apologizing again. She admits that he hurt her and that she’s in pain. Meanwhile, Steffy and Finn visit her doctor to get the paternity test done. She is anxious, but Finn tells her that whatever happens, they’ll deal with it. Dr. Campbell arrives, so Steffy tells her that she wants the baby to be Finn’s. After some more chit-chat, the doctor explains the test to them (even though Steffy already had a paternity test done on Kelly). She just needs blood from Steffy and a cheek swab from Finn. Steffy wonders if there are any risks, so the doctor tells her that they should be able to get the results pretty easily. The doctor tells them that she’ll put a rush on it at the lab. Steffy was hoping they would know today, but the doctor says that’s not possible. She advises Steffy not to get stressed out, for her baby’s sake.

At Forrester, Zende assures Zoe (who’s wearing a clown-like outfit) that they’re okay. She doesn’t want their almost-indiscretion to affect their working relationship. She tells him that Ridge hearing them made her realize how much she loves Carter and doesn’t want to lose him. She’s certain that Ridge won’t be getting in the middle of her and Carter now. She boasts that she fixed this problem and will be married to Carter soon. She gets a text from Carter. Also at Forrester, Ridge tells Carter that Zoe was coming on to Zende. Carter refuses to believe it at first and thinks he’s joking. Ridge doesn’t think Zoe loves Carter like he loves her. He explains about seeing and hearing Zoe and Zende before. Carter is shocked and starts to cry. Zoe comes by, and he’s cold to her. He asks if he’s really the one that she wants to marry.

Recap written by Suzanne

At the Forrester Mansion, Ridge berates Zoe for trying to get with Zende. He advises her to go tell Carter what’s going on. Zoe tries to deny it, but Ridge heard and saw them. He also blasts Zende for betraying Carter. He yells at them both, saying “Shame on you.” They try to deny that they were cheating on Carter, but Ridge knows better. He keeps yelling at them. Zoe claims that she was just scared about how fast she and Carter are moving. She insists that she loves Carter and doesn’t want to lose him. Ridge thinks she’s only saying that because Zende turned her down. Ridge plans to tell Carter about this, but Zoe asks him not to. Zende asks Ridge to let Zoe handle it. Zoe claims passionately that Carter is everything to her. Ridge leaves without telling them what he plans to do. Later, Paris goes to the Forrester mansion, where Zende is sitting, thinking as he stares the fire. With his shirt unbuttoned, of course! Zende tells her that Zoe left. He tries to be evasive about why Zoe was there, but Paris knows what’s going on. Zende protests that he would never hurt Carter, but Paris knows that Zoe has a thing for him, and she’s playing Carter. She accuses Zende of not doing anything to stop it. He assures her that nothing happened with Zoe. Paris thinks that Zoe is just freaking out because of being engaged and is self-sabotaging like she usually does. He tells her that he’s told Zoe that they can’t be together. She thinks that Carter deserves better, and he agrees. She asks him honestly what he wants. He replies that he wants to get to know her better.

Carter chats with Paris at Forrester Creations about his impending wedding. Paris wants to tell Carter the truth about Zoe, but Donna arrives, looking for Zoe. Carter tells Paris that nothing she can tell him about Zoe will shock him. Donna leaves. Carter doesn’t want to hear what Paris has to say. He’s expecting a call, so she leaves. Donna shows some photos of Zoe to Ridge at the office. He’s not in a good mood, which she can tell. He asks if she’s seen Carter, so she tells him that he was there earlier with a conference call. She tells him that Carter has a big night planned with Zoe to pick a wedding date. Carter, still at Forrester, finds Zoe, who finally texted him back. She tells him that they should pick a wedding date right away. He’s surprised at her sudden about-face. She mentions that the men in her life usually let her down, but he insists that he’s not like that and will never let her down. Meanwhile, Ridge walks up and eavesdrop on them. She tells him that he’s the man for her. She pours out her feelings and explains why she was scared. They both say, “I love you.” She promises that she’ll be a loving and devoted wife like he deserves.

Eli told him they were coming inside, but Ivan told them it would be a mistake. Ben was surprised when Susan said there was a gun. He wanted to know what happened. Claire asked her if the gun was fired and she said she lost the signal. Ben asked her to try again, but the signal was lost. She said there might be a way to connect to Ciara.

Rhodes warned Ciara that he had no problem shooting her. She reminded him that Vincent wasn’t paying him to guard a corpse. She knew he wasn’t going to shoot her. Susan held Ben’s hands and realized that Ciara was fighting to get back to him. She continued to visualize what happened when Claire interrupted her. Rhodes let Ciara know he was tired of guarding her. He also told her how he had one thing in his favor. The world thought she was dead so he could kill her. She gave in and went back inside the room. Kristen thought Chloe guilted Brady into helping her. Kristen confronted Brady about lying to her. He admitted that he lied. She wanted to know why he lied to her unless something was going on with Chloe. Chloe stopped the kiss with Philip. He thought he was trying to fix things. He admitted he made the biggest mistake by letting him go. He wanted to have another chance with her. Eli couldn’t believe Ivan threatened his kids while he had a gun to his head. Ivan knew Eli and Lani wanted to be reunited with the babies, but they had to do it a certain way. He said Vivian was fragile so getting the babies would be hard. Lani offered to talk to her. He reminded her that she killed her son. He thought she would hurt them to get back at her. Susan continued to have visions about Ciara. She screamed because a gun went off. Ciara fought Rhodes over the gun. He told her one of them could have been killed. She thought someone heard the gunshot. He reminded her the room was soundproof. He warned her the next time someone got hurt it would be her. Ben wanted to know what else happened. Susan didn’t see anymore. Ben demanded she try harder to find out what happened to Ciara. Claire stopped Ben from forcing Susan to tell him about Ciara. Brady continued to explain to Kristen why he didn’t tell her about Chloe. Chloe thought Philip was dealing with too much right now. Philip recapped what he did and realized he wouldn’t be good for her. He wondered if she was interested in another former boyfriend. Eli refused to give up his gun. Lani was willing to leave her gun in the hallway. Eli wanted to make sure Ivan wasn’t armed. Eli put down his gun. They went inside the apartment and she noticed a towel. Lani picked it up and sniffed it. Chloe told Philip that Brady was just a friend and she wasn’t interested in him. Philip reminded her that Kristen was going to be in prison longer so he would want to be with her. She said Brady loved Kristen. He told her Brady was jealous when he thought they slept together. Kristen thought Brady would fall for someone else while she was in jail. He didn’t like how she did something to keep them away from each other. Susan showed up in Brady’s room. Ben felt like he lost Ciara all over again. Ciara called out for help. Ivan wanted Eli and Lani’s phones. He told them their children were on the other side of the door. He wanted them to promise they would be gentle with Vivian. Eli demanded he let them in the apartment. They went inside the bedroom and he locked them in the room. Ivan went to Vivian and lied about who was at the door. Vivian appreciated what he did for her. He refused to let anyone get in the way of her raising her children. Chloe thought Philip should focus on what he’s dealing with now and not about her and Brady. He wanted to clean up his act and hoped they would get back together. Kristen was upset that Susan was free and she was stuck in prison. She had an idea about Susan. Susan talked to Brady about having a premonition about him being shot.

Primetime TV Review of “Firefly Lane”

TV Review!

Kate and Tully as teens in "Firefly Lane" on Netflix

“Firefly Lane” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 2/6/21

This drama is about two girls who become great friends during the early 70’s. One is shy and unpopular (Kate), and the other one is very cool and popular (Tully), but with a terrible home life. The show traces their beginning until middle age (it goes back and forth a lot, which I found a bit confusing). In the present, Tully is a successful (but lonely) talk show host. Kate has just been divorced and is raising her teen daughter, so she’s trying to get back into journalism. Although they’re good friends, they have their issues. However, they face what life throws at them, together.

I think most women will be able to relate to this great female friendship and the struggles that women have. It’s entertaining yet realistic. There haven’t too many shows or movies that involve important female friendships. There are some fun and lighthearted moments as well as real drama.  Check it out!

Primetime TV Review of “The Long Song”

TV Review!

"The Long Song" on PBS

“The Long Song” on PBS Review by Suzanne 2/6/21

This is a brilliant historical miniseries from PBS. It’s a little bit hard to watch at times because of the realistic depiction of slavery. July (Tamara Lawrance) is a slave in 1800’s Jamaica. She becomes the house maid for a spoiled white woman (Hayley Atwell) and her brother. The Christmas Rebellion, a slave uprising, causes problems for everyone. Then the king declares that slavery will be over soon, and a new young man comes to the plantation to improve conditions.

This is very well done, with lots of great music and drama. Although the slaves speak with heavy accents, it’s easy enough to understand them without the closed-captioning. It’s a bit heartbreaking, but you have to admire July’s spirit in the face of great odds. Although she suffers greatly, she perseveres and eventually finds some love, family and freedom. Don’t look for a completely happy ending, though, because this is not a particularly happy period in history.

MORE INFORMATION:

A tale of hope and endurance based on the bestselling novel by Andrea Levyon MASTERPIECE Sundays, January 31 – February 14, 2021 on PBS. Tamara Lawrance (King Charles III) stars as an indomitable house slave in Jamaica during the era of emancipation, with Hayley Atwell (The Avengers) as her demanding, capricious mistress, in The Long Song. Based on the award-winning novel by Andrea Levy, the miniseries airs in three parts on MASTERPIECE, Sundays, January 31 – February 14, 2021 at 10/9c on PBS.

The British press applauded the UK broadcast of The Long Song, with The Guardian calling it “a beautiful, moving, horrifying adaptation of Levy’s unsimple tale, that honors the source and its subject.” The Radio Times judged it “so finely-tuned and carefully-balanced that it’ll break your heart—and make you laugh at the same time.” And The Times opined, “What can a period slavery drama tell us that we don’t already know? Quite a bit.”Scripted by Sarah Williams (Flesh and Blood), who previously adapted Levy’s International Emmy¼ Award–winning Small Island for MASTERPIECE, The Long Song also stars Jack Lowden (Mary Queen of Scots), Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Rogue One), Jordan Bolger (Peaky Blinders), Ayesha Antoine (Doctor Who), Gordon Brown (Only God Forgives), Leo Bill (The Living and the Dead), Madeleine Mantock (Into the Badlands), and the acclaimed comic, actor, and activist Sir Lenny Henry (Broadchurch). Andrea Levy, who died in 2019, was born in London to Jamaican parents and spent her writing career probing her heritage. Her numerous literary awards included the Walter Scott Prize for The Long Song (published in 2010), which was also a finalist for the English language’s most prestigious book award: the Man Booker Prize.The Long Song is framed by the reminiscences of July (played as a young woman by Lawrance), who grew up as a slave on a sugar plantation in Jamaica and is now looking back on her life. In extended flashbacks, she recounts her tumultuous story, which has been shaped by villains, heroes, and well-meaning people who are an unsettled mix of the two.

FUNDING FOR MASTERPIECE PROVIDED BYFirst there are July’s parents: Her mother, Kitty (Duncan-Brewster), is a stoic field slave. Her father is the brutal Scottish overseer of the plantation, Tam Dewar (Brown), who regularly rapes Kitty.As a young girl, July is callously taken from her mother at the whim of Caroline (Atwell), the sister of the plantation owner, John Howarth (Bill). Caroline wants July for a lady’s maid and bestows on her a more genteel name, Marguerite. July grows up catering to Caroline’s impulses, surrounded by other slaves, including the canny Godfrey (Henry), the spiteful Molly (Antoine), and the haughty Clara (Mantock). There is also the debonaire Nimrod (Bolger), who has bought his freedom and fancies July, promising her a fairy-tale life with him.A moment of truth arrives with the Christmas Rebellion of 1831, a slave uprising that heralds the end of official slavery in Jamaica and other English colonies—but at a great cost in lives, including some who are near and dear to July. In the aftermath, a handsome new overseer, Robert Goodwin (Lowden), rides into the story. He will set hearts aflutter, establish an enlightened tone with the emancipated slaves, and play a tragic role in the fates of all.The Long Song is a Heyday Television Production for BBC. It is based on the novel by Andrea Levy. The Executive Producers are David Heyman, Rosie Alison, Andrea Levy, Sarah Williams, and Tom Coan. Ben Irving is the Executive Producer for the BBC. The Producer is Roopesh Parekh. The writer is Sarah Williams. The Director is Mahalia Belo.

Primetime TV Review of “Jann”

TV Review!

"Jann" on HULU

“Jann” on HULU Review by Suzanne 2/5/21

Canadian singer/songwriter Jann Arden stars in this series, which she also helped create. It’s about a middle-aged singer/songwriter who had some hits back in the 90’s, but now she’s having trouble booking gigs. She’s “washed up,” according to the rest of the world. She has a manager, Todd (Jason Blicker) who’s not very good; an ex-girlfriend, Cynthia (Sharon Taylor) that she still pines for – who ditched her for a younger woman; a mom, Nora (Deborah Grover) with memory problems: and a married sister, Max (The wonderful Zoie Palmer), who keeps getting pregnant and isn’t happy about it. Jann even has to rent out her home to celebrities when they visit her town. One of the best characters on the show is Cale (Elena Juatco), who is not too polite but later helps Jann out. The series is a wry commentary on family, the entertainment world and fame.

It’s a pretty funny show, but I felt that the second episode dragged a bit. It picks up later. This was a hit in Canada, where they’ve aired the first two seasons. HULU has picked it up now. The 3rd season will be filming soon. Since Jann is a real-life person, with real hit songs, they play those in the series, and we do hear her perform as well.

The show is only semi-autobiographical, according to Arden. Just sit back and enjoy the laughs and the music. Check out our interview with Jann Arden below.

− Premium streaming service to become U.S. home to Seasons 1 and 2 of hit comedy from Project 10 Productions and SEVEN24 Films –

− Co-created by series star Jann Arden, with Leah Gauthier and Jennica Harper, new episodes of Season 2 of JANN continue Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CTV –

− The critically acclaimed series was the most-watched new Canadian comedy series of the 2018-19 broadcast season −

“JANN blew everyone out of the water, establishing Jann Arden as a comic force on television.” – TV, eh?

“JANN is the real deal: a funny, biting satire about the entertainment industry that isn’t afraid to make fun of its star.” – NOW Magazine

“Arden aces it. She is fearless, a born comedienne, as in on the joke as a Second City veteran.” – Bill Brioux

“Jann Arden’s narcissistic alter ego shines in CTV’s JANN… Arden, with her sheer force of personality, breezy blunt speak and take-no-prisoners delivery, manages to showcase remarkable comic chops.” – Toronto Star

TORONTO (October 21, 2020) – CTV, Project 10 Productions, and SEVEN24 Films announced today that hit CTV Original comedy JANN has been acquired by streaming platform Hulu. In a deal executed by Project 10 Productions and SEVEN24 Films, Hulu secures exclusive U.S. rights for the first two seasons of the Canadian Screen Award-nominated series. The half-hour comedy, which was the most-watched new Canadian comedy series of the 2018/19 season, was co-developed by Bell Media and Project 10 Productions and is produced by Project 10 Productions and SEVEN24 Films in association with CTV. The first season, consisting of six episodes, and the eight episode second season of JANN will stream in the U.S. exclusively on Hulu early next year.

“Jann has done such an incredible job bringing this character to life, and the series is enjoyed by viewers across Canada,” said Randy Lennox, President, Bell Media. “Along with our partners at Project 10 Productions and SEVEN24 Films, we’re absolutely thrilled to introduce JANN, and the hilarious and heartwarming world they’ve created, to U.S. audiences through this sale to Hulu.”

“JANN is quickly becoming an iconic comedy sensation in Canada, and launching on Hulu is the first step in sharing this series with the rest of the world,” said Andrew Barnsley of Project 10 Productions and Jordy Randall of SEVEN24 Films in a shared statement.

“I cannot even begin to express my excitement and sincere gratitude to be partnered with the incredible people at Hulu,” said Jann Arden, co-creator, star, and executive producer. “We look forward to having JANN join their lineup of world class programming and we can’t wait to launch south of the border.”

JANN is created by multi-platinum award-winning Canadian singer, songwriter, broadcaster, and author Jann Arden, who is also an Executive Producer alongside co-creators Leah Gauthier and Jennica Harper, who also serves as Showrunner. In JANN, Arden plays a fictionalized, self-deprecating version of herself: a singer songwriter of a “certain age” in severe denial of the harsh reality that her former music career is slowly (okay rapidly) fading away. But it’s not just Jann’s career that’s on life support – she’s newly single (don’t remind her), her sister may disown her, and her mother may be showing early signs of memory loss. Jann’s personal life is in shambles and she’s convinced that the cure-all is to enlist a new manager to help rebrand her image. Jann is at the crossroads between who she was and who she wants to be. Can Jann stage a comeback, reclaim fame… and be there for the people who love her?

Starring alongside Arden in JANN are Zoie Palmer (PURE, DARK MATTER) as Jann’s sister Max; Deborah Grover (ANNE WITH AN “E”) as Jann’s mom Nora; Patrick Gilmore (TRAVELERS; YOU, ME, HER) as Jann’s brother-in-law Dave; Elena Juatco (OPEN HEART, SCHITT’S CREEK) as Jann’s new manager Cale; Jason Blicker (F/X: THE SERIES, STATE OF GRACE) as Jann’s long-time manager Todd; Sharon Taylor (BAD BLOOD) as Jann’s ex-girlfriend Cynthia; Alexa Rose Steele (DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION) as Jann’s eldest niece Charley; Ceilidh MacDonald as Jann’s niece Sammie; and Keaira Pliva (TIN STAR) as Jann’s niece Frankie.

Guest stars for Season 2 include singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan as herself; Canadian singer-songwriter k.d. lang as herself; actress Elisha Cuthbert (THE RANCH, HAPPY ENDINGS); singer, host, and actress Keshia Chanté (SOUL, PRIVATE EYES); and more.

Season 2 of JANN airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CTV, with episodes from both seasons streaming on CTV.ca, the CTV app, and Crave.

Primetime TV Review of “Resident Alien”

TV Review!

"Resident Alien" on Syfy

“Resident Alien” on Syfy Review by Suzanne 2/5/21

I love this show. Syfy let me see the first 7 episodes because I recently interviewed the star of the show, Alan Tudyk. The first episode is good, but it gets better and better. There were many times I laughed out loud. The story is great, and it has many wonderful characters.

Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Doom Patrol) stars as an alien that crash-lands in the small, snowy town of Patience, Colorado. He finds this doctor in a nearby cabin and kills him, then takes his identity. His mission was to drop a small device that will kill everyone, but he ends up crashing instead. He then has to try to find his spaceship and the pieces of the device, out in the snowy wilderness.

However, the town doctor is found dead, so the alien, now posing as Harry, the doctor, takes over his office temporarily. It’s fun to watch Harry learn how to be human. We also hear his voice-over, which is very funny. There are many characters, but the writing is so good that you don’t get any confusion about who they all are. Harry makes friends with the doctor’s nurse, Asta (Sara Tomko), and her friend D’arcy (Alice Wetterlund), the town bartender. There is also a funny town sheriff, Mike (Corey Reynolds), his deputy Liv (Elizabeth Bowen), the mayor (Levi Fiehler), the mayor’s son, Max (Judah Prehn), and more. Max is the only one in town that can see the alien as he really is.

You’ll notice that the show will remind you of other scifi shows, like “Mork & Mindy,” “Starman,” “Alien Nation” and more. We’ve really never seen a scifi comedy like this one, however. Not only is it a comedy/drama/scifi show, but it’s also a mystery. For each episode, they really leave you wanting more. As the episodes progress, we see that Harry is not alone here and that there are some people who know he’s here (and are not friendly). Linda Hamilton (“The Terminator”) plays a general that’s hunting for the alien.

Asta and her family are native Americans, and it’s great that they showcase them because that’s rare on American TV. Canadian TV shows seem to show them much more often than we do on this side of the border.

If you’re a fan of scifi or comedy, you won’t want to miss this one.

Primetime TV Review of “50M2”

“50M2” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 2/5/21

In this entertaining Turkish show, a man named Gölge is working for a mobster, Servet, that took him in as a child and trained him to be his henchman. Gölge only has a photo of his parents and wants to know who they are and where he comes from (as well as his real name). He learns that Servet has been lying to him. Servet tries to kill him, but he escapes. Meanwhile, he finds out that a tailor, Adil, in the small village of GĂŒzelce, has died, and the people there think that he’s the tailor’s long-lost son, Adem. He hides out at the tailor’s shop, posing as Adem and building a very different life for himself.

The name is based on the size of the small shop: 50 meters squared (That’s 165 square feet to us Americans).

This is a really cool, stylish show that reminds me of shows I liked growing up, like “Mission: Impossible” or “It Takes a Thief.” It has some aspects of “The Bourne Identity” as well. It’s a good action-drama, but there’s a lot of humor and mystery in it as well. Of course, it is violent, but not exceedingly so. Any fan of action should enjoy it.

Primetime TV Review of “Go Dog Go”

TV Review!

"Go Dog Go" on Netflix

“Go Dog Go” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 2/5/21

This is a very entertaining and cute CGI animated kids show. All of the characters are dogs, and they live in Pawston. They have a lot of energy and fun. Some of them sing. Of course, they also learn some valuable lessons. The show doesn’t hammer you over the head with the “lesson,” though. They like to zoom around in fast cars, which is why it’s entitled “Go, dog, go!”

The main dog is Tag, who’s like a 6 year old child, and in the first episode he meets a newcomer to town, Scooch Pooch. Scooch Pooch is from a farm, so he is new to city life. They have a big dog party in a tree. Everyone wants to go, so the traffic is slow. They keep trying different ways to get there: on foot, by river and by blimp! They are all slow.

The show is based on a series of children’s books that have been around a long time. Dreamworks is behind the series, and they always have top-notch shows.

MORE INFORMATION:

Handy and inventive pup Tag chases adventure with her best pal, Scooch, solving problems and helping the citizens of Pawston along the way.

Primetime TV Review of “Deer Squad”

TV Review!

"Deer Squad" on Nick

“Deer Squad” on Nickelodeon Review by Suzanne 2/5/21

This is a typical children’s show. The characters are deer, but they live in a town like people. They have super powers that remind me a little bit of Power Rangers. Since it’s a show for young kids, they teach many lessons in the show. In the first episode, the rich human “bad guy” wants to stay in bed all day, so he makes giant sunglasses that block the sun. The Deer Squad have to find a way to get rid of the sunglasses, since their powers come from the sun. They learn the lesson that even though the sun might be annoying some times (such as when it gets in your eyes), it’s important for life.

The Deer Squad protect the animals in Central Forest and the people who live in Platinum City. This seems a lot to ask for deer, but they do have super powers. I’m sure young children will enjoy it.

Primetime TV Review of “Bridge and Tunnel”

TV Review!

"Bridge and Tunnel" cast

“Bridge and Tunnel” on Epix Review by Suzanne 2/5/21

This show is about some friends in their 20’s who’ve graduated from college and have gotten together where they grew up, on Long Island.  The acting is fine. I found the story to be pretty boring. There are a lot of characters, and they don’t make us care about any of them, so it’s hard to tell them apart at times.

Even though the show is set in the 80’s, most of the music they play is from the 70’s…not even 1979, but earlier. Now, sure, if you grew up in the 70’s, you would still want to listen to your own music from college and high school, but you’d also probably still be listening to the current music.  Don’t get me wrong — I love 70’s music. I enjoyed that part of watching the show. I’m sure that it would have a great soundtrack. I just wondered why there wasn’t more music from the time the show is actually set in.

I only watched the first episode, so perhaps they do use more music from 1980 later on. I wasn’t interested enough in the show to keep watching, though.  There are so many wonderful shows out there…there’s no time for me to watch something I already don’t like, to see if it gets better.

Also, it seemed like the actors might have been paid extra every time they used the F word. Seriously.

MORE INFORMATION:

This is a cute little show that features Pixar characters you know from the movies doing fun things, such as exercising.

Interview with Jann Arden

TV Interview!

Jann Arden, star of "Jann" on HULU

Interview with Jann Arden of “Jann” on Lifetime by Suzanne 2/2/21

This was fun! I haven’t done many Zoom interviews before. Jann is very professional and yet very charming and endearing.

Here is the video of our call!

Suzanne: Hi, how are you?

Jann: Good. How are you doing? Oh, that’s a nice background.

Suzanne: Thank you. I didn’t know if I had it on or not –

Jann: We’re in Hawaii!

Suzanne: I wish.

Jann: Yeah, you and me both.

Suzanne: Are you up in Canada?

Jann: I am. I’m in southern Alberta, just outside of Calgary.

Suzanne: So, it’s a bit cold and snowy up there?

Jann: Oh, my God. It’s minus twelve today.

Suzanne: Wow. Yeah, I can’t complain then. I’m sick of the cold, but we only get in the thirties and forties.

Jann: Where are you?

Suzanne: Southern Arkansas, near Louisiana.

Jann: Oh, nice. Oh, I love that part of the world. It’s pretty.

Suzanne: Not as pretty as the palm trees, but it’s pretty.

Jann: Aww, come on. We’ll get there. We’ll get there.

Suzanne: I actually lived in Hawaii for three years.

Jann: Okay, now you’re just bragging.

Suzanne: So, what gave you the idea to make a TV series based on your life?

Jann: Well, it’s very loosely based on my life. Yes, I’m a singer-songwriter, and the person in this show is a singer-songwriter, but that’s where the similarities completely end. It’s completely fictitious. My mother passed away years ago, and I actually have a mother in this show. I don’t have any sisters, but I have a sister in the show. I have a lot more dates; TV Jann has a lot more dates than I do. I’m just living alone here in the trees with my dog, but the TV version of me is out there dating and having fun, so that’s very exciting. I just got presented with an opportunity four or five years ago and worked with a friend of mine, Leah Gauthier, and we just sat at my kitchen table. We’re like, “Okay, what can we do here?” And we just spent a weekend laughing our butts off and kind of coming up with this concept of a woman trying to find relevance and sorting out of relationships and trying to see if she can get her career going and has a mother that has dementia, and we’ve just been really, really lucky to get the show made.

Suzanne: What did you have to do to learn how to write for TV, because you are a songwriter?

Jann: I can honestly say, I don’t do the actual writing for the show. I’m involved in all the storyboards. So, we get together here in my home, and I’m with the writers. We have five writers on the show, and everybody sleeps here. I stick them in bedrooms; I stick them on floor mattresses, and we do all the storyboards. So, I’m very happy to say that I’ve been involved in all of that, then those guys go away, and they do something called scripts. I don’t know how the hell they do it. So, thank God I’m not.

Suzanne: Were you familiar with the other actors before they auditioned for your show?

Jann: There are a few of them that I was familiar with. Zoie Palmer, who plays my sister, I’ve long admired her.

Suzanne: She’s great.

Jann: She was one of the stars of of Lost Girl; she was in Dark Matter. I happened to see her when I was working out one day in a movie called Sex After Kids. It was an indie film, and she was hilarious. I just got it in my mind. I’m like, “I want Zoie Palmer to play my sister.” I think she’s the perfect foil for me. She’s straight laced, and she’s uptight, and she just wants to do stuff right, and I just drive her crazy. And it’s really fun working with Zoie. Her husband, Dave, is a gentleman named Patrick Gilmore. I’ve known him for years. He’s in a show called Travelers. He’s done a lot of stuff. You might recognize him from other things.

Suzanne:
Yeah, the name is familiar.

Jann: Elena Juatco, who plays Cale, she was new to me. I didn’t know her until I saw the audition tape and was able to meet her in person, but the whole cast, I think everyone really steps into their characters, and they’re all so funny in their own right.

Suzanne: I see that two seasons aired in Canada. Will there be a season three, or do you know yet?

Jann: We’re just doing season three right now. So, I had my first COVID test yesterday, and I do all my wardrobe fitting on Wednesday. So, yeah, we’re full steam ahead. It’s all written. We’re ready to go, and it’s pretty damn great to have another opportunity to do this.

Suzanne: If it were up to you, how many seasons do you think you would like it to go?

Jann: I’d like to do eight

Suzanne: That’s a good number.

Jann: Why not? Letterkenny’s on its tenth season.

Suzanne: Oh, wow. How did it come about, that Hulu picked it up?

Jann: You know, I don’t know a lot about the business side of that. My producers, Andrew Barnsley and Ben Murray, are the two fellows that own a production company called Project 10. Andrew was one of the producers on Schitt’s Creek. So, I think Andrew had a relationship with some of these people and has been working really this past twelve months with Hulu to figure out when would be a good time to release it, and if it would be a good fit, but we’re very thrilled to be with Hulu. They’ve been amazing partners and have just been nothing but supportive and kind for us.

Suzanne: Yeah, I really love how all these services, and even now, some of the broadcast networks, keep bringing in Canadian and other shows outside the US. I love that. It’s great to see others.

Jann: I think it’s good for all of us. I mean, we love seeing all your shows, too.

Suzanne: I think, internationally, people see more American shows than we see international shows up until recently.

Jann: I think you’re right.

Suzanne: Of all your songs, do you have a favorite?

Jann: I do, and it’s a song called “Good Mother.” I wrote it about my mom years and years ago, but it was the single in the States. This would have been in the ‘90s, so it was a long time ago, but I get so many letters and so many direct messages about that song. It’s one of my long personal favorites. I mean, I love “Insensitive” as well, but a song called “Good Mother” is right up there.

Suzanne: I’ll have to listen to that. When I was listening to some of your songs on YouTube – I’m a few years older than you, and so I stopped listening to music mostly in the ‘80s more or less.

Jann: I get it.

Suzanne: But now I know. Which singers or groups inspired you most musically?

Jann: Oh my gosh, I had so many favorites growing up. I loved, loved, loved Shirley Bassey. You might not know who she is.

Suzanne: Oh, yeah.

Jann: “Diamonds Are Forever (sung)” – loved her. I love Tears for Fears. I love Janice Ian and Olivia Newton-John and Carly Simon and Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, James Taylor. I was really a singer-songwriter kid growing up. Then I started to like Kiss, because my older brother loved Kiss. So, I decided I liked Kiss, and then I started listening to his Nazareth record. And Boston – “More Than a Feeling (sung).” Bread, with David Gates; I listened to a lot of Bread. I mean, so much music. I don’t know if you remember the Columbia Record Club?

Suzanne: Oh, yeah.

Jann: Way back when – “For one cent, you can buy ten LP records,” and when you’re a kid, you’re begging your parents. “Please, it’s only one cent for ten records.” Well, then they ding you. Every month they send, you know, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, for God’s sakes, but that costs you $27.

Suzanne: Yeah, I was in that in high school, the Columbia Record Club.

Jann: Yeah, and it’s impossible to get out of! Anyway, I just listened to so much music, but yeah, there was a just a whack of girl singer/songwriters that I just adored so much. Natalie Cole, I just love Natalie Cole. And then of course, late ‘80s it started changing to, you know, Nirvana and Sinead O’Connor. I mean, I even loved Enya.

Suzanne: I like Enya. So, last question. Are you working on more songs for a future album?

Jann: I am. I’m right in the middle of just finishing up a record now. I actually just need to mix it. That’ll be my fifteenth record with Universal Records.

Suzanne: Wow.

Jann: I know, it’s nutty!

Our Review of “Jann”

MORE INFO:

In Jann, Jann Arden plays a fictionalized, self-deprecating version of herself: a singer songwriter of a “certain age” in severe denial of the harsh reality that her former music career is slowly (okay, rapidly) fading away. But it’s not just Jann’s career that’s on life support – she’s newly single (don’t remind her), her sister may disown her, and her mother may be showing early signs of memory loss. Jann‘s personal life is in shambles and she’s convinced that the cure-all is to enlist a new manager to help rebrand her image. Filled with plenty of LOL moments, she embarks on a quest to return to greatness and go viral, but instead gets tangled in the pressures of her ‘real’ life. Jann is at the crossroads between who she was and who she wants to be. Can Jann stage a comeback, reclaim fame
and be there for the people who love her?
