On The Box This Week

Warning-TV Spoilers Ahead!

I really love Marry Berry and enjoyed watching these Easter inspired recipes

I loved how Mary found different recipes from different religious and communities

celebrate Easter. In the two episodes we saw how Polish, Italian, Dutch, Greek, Russian,  and Jamaican cultures celebrate Easter and the recipes they use at this time. I like how Mary slightly changed each recipe to make it more British and more like her own recipes. I found this show not only really delicious, my mouth was watering at times but also very interesting to see how other cultures celebrate Easter.

I watched this three part series because I love historical fiction and costume dramas

of course the fact that it was written for screen by Downton Abbey Julian Fellowes also helped!

To be honest I was so bored of this show by the second episode there is a reason that Thorne hasn't been used for TV before the plot line is so dull!! Three hour long episodes of will they won't they when everyone with a half a brain knew from the first episode that Frank and Mary would of course get there happy ending and Mary wasn't as lowly and poor as she thought she was!

I really enjoyed the romance of Doctor Throne and the America heiress I would of like to see much more of this not the five minutes we got at the end of the episode! 

The scenery and costumes where outstandingly beautiful but I am looking forward to when

Outlander and Game of Thrones hit our screens again when the beauty of the scenery and costumes match the acting and writing!!

So Modern family was FINALLY back on screens on Monday nights

Phil's ducks are all grown up and the family want rid. Claire comes up with a plan

to help them fly the nest while Phil is away with Alex it's going well until they realise

that the ducks are mirror images of themselves! 

Phil tries to reconnect with Alex who is having a hard time fitting in at college. She tells him she wants to come home. He makes her stay and encourages her to go out more, he leaves her with a prom dress so that she can join in with the freshman tradition of jumping in the pool with it on

When he gets home the gang tell him they now get it and love the ducks, he tells them that its time the ducks take flight as he doesn't want to hold them back anymore. They go to the roof and let the duck fly away. This was a touching heart warming episode and a good way for the second half of the series to start back.

This episode felt like a bit of a filler episode until the last twenty minutes 

when everything was turned on it's head and we know all out war is going to happen

Rosita, Doctor Denise and Daryl go out to find a drug store Denise saw months ago

Daryl isn't keen on bringing Denise out of Alexandria as she has no fighting experience

but off they go anyway! Abe and Eugene are looking for a place Eugene has an idea he is going to set this place old run down metal place into a work shop for making bullets. It finally gave Eugene a story arc this season as hasn't been in it much this season and if they get it to work it's  really good idea. In true Eugene style he pisses off Abe and he leaves Eugene alone after he tells him he doesn't need his help any more!

Meanwhile Denise is pissed off as she gives Daryl and Rosita a good taking to for not believing in her she get a shocking death an arrow through the eye (she basically dies near enough the same death she saved Carl from) Dwight who stole Daryl's bike and crossbow is back and half his face is melted off with the help of Eugene biting some crotch they escape. When they get back to Alexandria they find out Carol had left she has had enough of killing can't do it any more and has decided it would be better if she leaves, by the look on Morgan's face he will be going after her to bring her home.

So next week is the penultimate episode which will probably be the calm before the storm!
