THE SHOWS

The Night Of - Part 3
I have no idea if you guys are watching this show yet. It's been awfully quiet but hoping you're all just so stunned by this show that you don't have words or you're just behind by an episode and haven't read my blog posts. Every single character in this show has a story. While each story is an interesting one some are more intregal to Naz's than others. Naz is dealing with his new super scary prison life which could be the only story and we'd all be riveted, but there's so much more. There's Naz's parents, the cab, now we're up to 3 lawyers, one who is part of a very bizarre support group that I need to Google and find out if it really exists. Even the dead girls cat seems to have a story to tell. I'm not sure how this story can get wrapped up in the remaining 5 episodes but it's supposed to. Thankfully, episodes 2 & 3 haven't been as uncomfortable to watch for me as episode 1. I think parents should make their kids watch this show though. One bad decision and this really decent kid's life went into a totally different route and sent him into a totally different world. Scary to think about it but theoretically it could happen to anyone.

UnReal
Wellllll at least now we know what is up with Rachel and her Mom. Turns out that when Rachel was 12, one of her Mom's patients raped her and her Mom covered it up for the sake of her practice. She's been medicating her ever since. We know the big secret and now Coleman does too, not sure that Quinn or Jake or anyone else knows just how damaged and crazy Rachel really is but obviously we all know the girls a hot mess. At least now we know why. Darius came back to the show but only because football's out, the woman he actually wants is out so the show's all he has at this point. He has that in common with most of the people who work there, doesn't he. Quinn and the BF are still together and talking babies of all things.  Coleman and the undercover reporter have found each other and now they're working together. Will he stick with Rachel or ruin her? 
 

THE OTHER STUFF

-Jimmy Kimmel & Matt Damon went back to therapy to work out their problems in time for Matt's movie premiere this Friday. Bourne is back and Matt needs to promote it but rather than go on every other Late Night Show he's chosen to try another round of couples therapy. I actually think this one may have worked. Check it out:

-James Corden must be pinching himself this morning. The guy really needs to send Mariah Carey the hugest bouquet of organic roses or some crazy butterfly ring. If it wasn't for Mariah agreeing to be his first passenger, Carpool Karaoke would have never gotten off the ground, never gotten all the buzz, never gotten all the YouTube views and never would have gotten a deal from Apple Music. Can you believe there was a bidding war for Carpool Karoke and Apple Music won? Apple Music will distribute Carpool Karoke to all its members worldwide. In the new version, Corden will executive produce but he won't be the driver, so not sure if it will be celebs are civilians in the passenger seat. Isn't James THE reason Carpool Karaoke is such a success? A perfect replacement would have been Craig Robinson but guess what? Spike just gave him his very own Caraoke show, so not only did Apple not get James in the drivers seat, now they have competition too. Hope they have someone just a joyful, hilarious and fun to drive otherwise, Apple just bought an accident waiting to happen.


-AMC renewed TURN for 4th Season if anyone cares.
