TV Show of the Week

I am so in for this week’s show. Leverage Redemption! It is the continuation of the old Leverage series that ran from 2008 to 2012 starring Timothy Hutton. It had this whole Robin Hood theme where they robbed the rich to give to the folks they took advantage of. It is a fun show to watch because they always have to work their way out of a situation.

In the reboot, three of the old characters take on new partners to do the same thing. Where I have really become happy with series that are just 8 episodes, I was excited to see they added a few more in this new series. Gina Bellman is still the grifter, Christian Cane the hacker and Beth Riesgraf as the thief. They added Noah Wylie and Aleyse Shannon to the team.

They also have added great guest stars, like Levar Burton. This show is on the IMDB channel. Fall in love with show, like I have.

It Was Just One Of Those Things

I never knew how hard Ella Fitzgerald worked to be as good as she was. Ella Just One of Those Things is a new documentary on Netflix that tells story of the singer with people who were her contemporaries. It will introduce you to pieces in her catalog with a story or two behind them.

Fitzgerald’s resilience stood out to me. It was inspiring to see someone with a vision from their teenage years make it happen despite the struggles life through her way. It is stories like this that would encourage other women to not give up. Although her life was not perfect, her music was.

She and her generation open doors for today’s performers by working in places where they could not even eat or sleep. Stories like this remind us of the price that was paid to get to modern day. Something we all needed to be reminded of.

If you haven’t seen the new Fantasy Island, give it a try. Roselyn Sanchez takes on the role as the operator of the island, as Ms Roarke. Like the old show, there is an array of guest stars which make it fun to watch. It also gives some back story to how Elena came to take over for her great uncle. They also give Elena Roarke a story of her own , complete with love interest. This show is on Fox.

These Are Their Stories

The Sistas take on one of the stories they know the best. Law and Order has been on for more than two decades.

There are millions of stories in the city and Law and Order has covered them all. The long running series about crime and punishment has told countless stories in the US and UK.  Ripping pages from the headlines and current events, this new Law and Order has put its spin on some of the most heinous and unusual crimes in the world. Our Law and Order experts (Sistas!) tell you if the latest one is a hit or miss.
