This Is Us: Miguel (2022)
"I loved your father. I loved him so much; but I'm in love with your mother now."
Miguel and Rebecca's love story is beautiful and I believe this to be the best episode this season. Miguel has been through so much heartache and disappointment in his life despite working hard and doing the right thing. His smile on his face the moment he reconnected with Rebecca that stayed there until he died was beautiful. Jon Huertas is phenomenal as Miguel Rivas. The subtleties of the episode never disappoint from the Mike Rivers application to Sophie and Kevin's matching wedding bands at the end. Showing Kevin at age 27 having his little temper tantrum at the cabin and storming out with Pilgrim Rick's hat, and then seeing him 20 years later lifting Miguel up after putting on Rebecca's slippers and then finally spreading Miguel's ashes with his son Andy over the baseball field in Puerto Rico shows how much Kevin has grown. The last 5:48 with Billy Joel's "And So it Goes" was the greatest ending in TV history. Goodbye Miguel. You were a great Pearson. You were with this family for a long time. God bless you.
Ray Donovan: The Movie (2022)
Fish Gotta Swim Raymond...Great Ending... Sláinte..
Who was Ray digging that grave for in the beginning? That was for Jim Sullivan. Those were all flashbacks from the last two seasons that they showed us in the beginning. This "movie" was made because the network, showtime, canceled the series without notice. This "movie" was made in the place of season 8. The people moaning and whaling about how bad this "movie" obviously did not watch the series closely. If you look back and see the pain that Ray was in and how traumatized he was as shown in his therapy sessions with his court appointed therapist in season 5 and current therapist in season 7 and the movie, you'll understand that trauma causes memories to erase or be altered. This is why Ray finally understands his past and loves his father and is now at peace. BRAVO to the writers, and the actors. My only complaint is that Mickey died. That sucked but ya know.... fish gotta swim....
Sláinte.
