Hi-Jacks E7

Why when the series get good af, I’ve arrived at the season finale?

The police really don’t think, and have the nerve to be smug about their decisions, when ultimately they’re loud & wrong. Add in the home office, the UK govt, and it’s a recipe for disaster. And a disaster it was.

I honestly cannot believe (blank) was killed! Omg. Definitely didn’t see that coming. My lesson from this episode, if you see an opportunity, take it. Hesitation can get you killed. With only one episode left, how will it end?

Hi-Jacks

Who the hell was shot?!

Although this show has been out since June, Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert.

So I started Hijack with Idris Elba during the summer but it’s a VERY Slow start, and rightfully so. It had to line up the character development so we’d be invested in what happens to these folks. Well babes, I’m invested. For various reasons each character annoys me, but at this point nobody more than Hugo. Shorty put this whole “plan” with the bullets being blank in effect, only to sit it out when it was time to put in the necessary work. Just silly.

A major moment has happened, and we’re left on a cliffhanger at the end of episode three. Legit, I’m screaming because I need to know, who was shot, and if this series will be reminiscent of the ending of Season One of Game of Thrones.

Also, is it Game of Thrones or Throne?

Concrete Cowboy

In a book to film adaption, I have found myself wanting to watch it again, but to read the book to see where the holes I have can be filled. “Ghetto Cowboy” by Gregory Neri, ‘A street smart tale about a displaced teen who learns to defend what’s right-the cowboy way’. Featuring Idris Elba, and Caleb Mclaughlin, as a son estranged from his father, but it sent to live with him, after his mother has reached her limit. You can feel her frustration with the current affairs of not only her son, but that isn’t able to reach him in a way, that encourages him to change his behavior.

Not going to spoil it anymore than I have, but for me, even though when absolutely needed, the father was there, it was ONLY when he was absolutely needed.

It saddens me, but tough love is nothing without soft love as well. You can’t believe a person is going to be balanced, when only receiving tough love. Nothing is ever good enough love, nah. Tough love is successfully ONLY when paired with soft love, the cycle can never be broken by doing what was done to you.
