Cold Case: November 22 (2009) Season 6, Episode 21

The president wasnt the only death that day

[8/10 · 24 June 2024]

November 22 is a solid episode from a solid sixth season. Many shows are just going through the motions in their latter seasons but Cold Case was still making great television. Not a stand out episode but stilling very well written and produced

This episode is about a pool hustler known as The Rifle and his final few days alive. We learn that his life is filled with ups and down and his cohort Blondie is right by his side. Things are looking up for The Rifle but then he gets a real shock when he learns he has a daughter. We find out she's got the hustler instinct as well but Blondie is not impressed. Then we have local pool legend Baltimore Reds summoning The Rifle for a tournament of pool to see who is truly the "the best gun in town." Thats all leading up to the final minutes of The Rifle's life but who was it... The kid, Blondie, you'll have to watch to find out.

Boardwalk Empire (2010–2014)

Really good show the couldve been great!

[7/10 · 16 September 2023]

Boardwalk Empire is one of those shows where when you read who stars in it, who wrote the stories, its sounds amazing. Its when you actually watch a few episodes where you realize that something is just missing. The strange thing is how there are countless great scenes in the episodes, but as a show its just above average. I doubt I am the only the one who notices but there is just a lack of a certain something that the greats like The Sopranos or The Wire have. Some people call it inspiration, other just call it magic but whatever the term, Boardwalk Empire simply doesn't have it. That's my take on a really good show that could've been great. 7/10.

The Innocent Man (2018)

Important topic, but confusing at times.

[6/10 · 14 January 2019]

These stories are very important and I'm glad I watched this series. However it can a bit confusing with all the different characters involved with these 2 separate incidents. The dramatic parts are lackluster as well but not so bad as to ruin the episodes. Perhaps a pen and paper to write down notes would help keep the stories and characters straight in your head as you watch. 6/10
