<i>Suits</i> - “Hitting Home” Retrospective. Sibling Rivalry. 2

“Hitting Home” begins with a rare flashback to a young Harvey (Buddy Arbuck) coming home from school early only to find his mother entertaining a man who isn’t his father. It’s a moment that has weighed heavily on Harvey’s (Gabriel Macht) mind not only during season five but throughout the series as a whole.

VIDEO: Inside <i>The Strain</i> Press Room – Cast and EPs/Writers Talk About Season 2 4

Attending San Diego Comic-Con isn’t for the faint of heart and neither is watching FX Networks’ drama series, The Strain. Slated for a five-season run, The Strain is based on a trilogy of graphic novels written by Chuck Hogan and Guillermo Del Toro. The books are brought to extremely vivid life in the series; if you’re not careful, you may become grossed out by some of the special effects used to create the slithering worms that spread the vampiric infection. Bear in mind, while The Strain is based on the premise of the books, as well as the characters, the show itself is an entity unto its own. Being able to interview the cast was an added bonus at this year’s Comic-Con because I was able to interview several cast members I didn’t speak with at last year’s event.

<i>Ray Donovan</i> – “Come and Knock on Our Door” Review. When to Sell Your Soul. 23

Frankly speaking, I’m bored with Mickey and Daryll’s foray into the world of drugs and sex, and miss the tension-filled interactions between Mickey and Ray. Until “Come and Knock on Our Door,” Mickey and Daryll’s story line has been nothing more than filler. Thankfully, episodic writer David Hollander changes all that with the brilliant dialogue that highlights the intensity of Mickey and Ray’s embittered relationship.
