Pretty Little Liars — “Whirly Girly“ Review. Welcome Home.
ABC Family’s hit TV series, Pretty Little Liars (PLL) is back at it again with a very special ALIVE guest—Alison DiLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse)! Shame on executive producer I. Marlene King for not realizing we’re not naive enough to believe Alison was really dead. Since she’s back now, has she changed for the better? Or is she going to cause even more trouble and madness than before? Hopefully we will know by the end of the season or perhaps, even sooner. But I think having Alison back in the flesh will bring a whole lot of dynamic into the show.

HBO Presents 112 Weddings An Intimate Exploration of Relationships and Marriage
For the past two decades, filmmaker Doug Block (HBO’s “51 Birch Street,” “The Kids Grow Up”) has helped support his documentary work by shooting the occasional wedding. Known for his intimate, fly-on-the-wall style, he repeatedly found himself bonding with couples on their big day, never to see them again once the video was completed. Having long wondered what became of some of these marriages, Block began to track down a few of his favorite couples. Juxtaposing rapturous wedding-day flashbacks with remarkably candid present-day interviews, the documentary 112 WEDDINGS asks what comes after “I do,” exploring timeless themes of love, romance and commitment when it debuts MONDAY, JUNE 30 (9:00-10:35 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO.

Penny Dreadful – “What Death Can Join Together” Review. Unleashed.
Control. We all think we have it in regards to ourselves. We control our urges, suppress dark desires, and even deny our deepest, primal instincts for fear of judgment and retribution. What happens when you give in, just a little, to those urges? What happens when you give up a bit of control and let the darkness in? For Vanessa (Eva Green), bad things happen when she lets her hair down, so to speak. Penny Dreadful does it again with “What Death Can Join Together,” as we are taken on a journey down a dark lane full of malice, mayhem, and a dash of penitence.

Suits – “One-Two-Three Go…” Retrospective. Same But Different.
After three season of Suits, it appeared the writers were running out of ideas to keep the series exciting. Countless episodes of internal power struggles became all too familiar and the rotation of names on the Pearson Hardman Darby Specter wall had become a running joke. A shake up was needed but not one that would upset the balance of such a wonderful ensemble cast. So, why not just give Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams) his own spinoff?
