Weekend Summary

(spoilers in text)

Besides enjoying scones and frivolous amounts of tea, I've finally caught up with the likes of Agent Carter, which series finale will be coming up next week. Peggy is in harsher waters than ever before, as she's challenged by the people who work with her. While Leviathan is seemingly leading, having gotten their hands on equipment that will certainly throw shade over the eight episode. But she's not the only one suffering, as Annalise finds difficulties when Sam's sister shows up - besides Sam's body. My favourite leading ladies aren't experiencing any fun time these days, but it's certainly interesting to see them under such circumstances. The intrigues just continue to simmer under the layered web of How to get away with murder and they're certainly at a rise in Broadchurch. 

Cliffhangers and emotions are being used rather well this week, and hopefully before the great summer draught aka the hiatus - we'll have some solid answers, instead of just constant conjecture.

To cool down my blood pressure I took in the sweet feel-good film Pride (2014) that's about the year 1984 when the miners went on a strike, and a bunch of lesbians and gays supported them by gathering in money for their cause. Of course it is sentimental, but it doesn't dig itself too deeply in that easily gone territory. They don't want you to feel sad for them, but more for the people who oppose their help, which frankly one cannot help but do for their sheer ignorance. This little group of people go out of their way to support a little place in Wales, which at first, seems like a terrible idea, but in the end works out despite differences.

The film sends out a beautiful message and a good one. This is the sort of message we need these days under the climate of people opposing difference, whatever difference it is. Basically see the film and be cheered by this tale, as it's wonderfully executed.
