Arrow Favorite, Katrina Law , in Training Day

Image result for image of Katrina Law as Rebecca Lee    Arrow is off this week, so I wanted to write about another show that I watch and have come to appreciate, Training Day.  Katrina Law, Nyssa in Arrow, starred with the late Bill Paxton, Justin Cornwell, and Drew Van Acker in a police show that was a spin-off from the movie, Training Day.

The reviews were not good, but since I never saw the movie Training Day, I had nothing to compare it too, and my husband, son, and I all enjoyed it.  It will air it's sixth episode tonight, and I recommend this show.  Yes, it is a little cliched with the Russian bad guys, good black guy, bad white guy, material, but Jerry Bruckheimer produces interesting shows, so I have stuck with it, and it has grown on me.

Image result for image bill paxton and katrina law    Paxton played Det. Frank Roarke heads LAPD's  SIS unit.  This unit is sent to get the worst of the worst, and Frank has no problem dealing with the gray area to fight the war on crime.

 Image result for image of Katrina Law as Rebecca Lee   Cornwell plays Officer Kyle Criag, a rookie cop who is posing as Roarke's new partner in order to keep an eye on him.  Craig does not want to play in the gray area.  He also discovered that Roarke new his now deceased father.  There is a mystery surrounding Craig's father and Roarke.

Law plays Det. Rebecca Lee, an Officer in the SIS unit, and very close to Frank Roarke.  Frank rescued her from human traffickers when she was seven  Frank is like a father to her, and she is protective of him.

  Image result for image of Katrina Law as Rebecca Lee   Van Acker plays Det. Tommy Campbell a fromer pro surfer and a member of SIS.  He is protective of both Lee and Roarke.

If you thought Katrina Law was a force to be reckoned with in Arrow as Nyssa, she wields even more force in Training Day.  You would certainly enjoy her in this show.  My husband gets a kick out of every time she brings some guy down.  That girl has some moves!

The mystery behind Frank and Kyle's father is compelling and the acting is great.  Paxton and Craig had a great rapport with each other.

 Image result for image bill paxton and katrina law   Bill Paxton finished filming all 13 episodes, and the show decided not to replace him, so this will end at the end of the 13 episode, but I am glad I watched it, and if you catch the show, I think you might be glad you saw it too.  My sympathy to Bill Paxton's family.  It was a sad loss for all.

Arrow 512 The Bratva Review

Image
Many good, positive things happened in this episode and some not so good.  Let's begin: Diggle:  Diggle's darkness began last season when he killed his brother.  The guilt of that led Diggle to a dark place where he questions his values.  Diggle beats a man to get he information he wants a bout the nuke that Walker wants to fire.  Oliver had seen the man first, but refrained from beating him. He wanted to give the man time to think,but Diggle cannot wait.  As Diggle is doing this, Rory questions Felicity on what she has done, when Oliver comes in to talk.  Rory told Felicity that when his father had given him the rags he said to "respect and guard the power and don't abuse it, clearly he thinks Felicity is abusing the power she has with the computer.  Oliver interrupts then and Rory says,"I think she's crossed the line."  Oliver gives Felicity a look of concern but runs to Diggle because of what's happened. Diggle has beaten the informant, and Felc

Arrow 514 The Sin Eater Review

  The Sin Eater brings back three formidable female foes: China White, Carrie Cutter, and Liza Warner.  All three of these foes appeared in seasons one and two of Arrow. This whole season has referred back to the first two seasons.  I had forgotten about Liza Warner, until the brief flashback reminded me of who she was. The theme for last night's episode addresed the question,  Can you take on the responsibility of someone else's sins? Antaoly ,  in the Russia flashback, tells Oliver that he is a sin eater by wanting to take on other's sin. This is something Oliver has done for all 5 episodes, isn't it?  Wasn't he trying to make up for his father's sins by crossing off names on a list?  Oliver helped Anatoly in the hospital.  I am guessing that in the next episode we shall find that Oliver killed Gregor before Gregor could kill Anatoly. Quintin Lance feels guilt over Liza Warner, because Liza heard in prison that Lance worked with Damien Dahrk.  He was tak

Inmate #4587 Arrow Review 701

      Season 7 heads the viewers  into  new, fascinating directions. . Wow! is the word that came into mind.  It has a  whole  new  feel to the show.  Let's  say, it's  not the Arrow  we used  to know.  The new showrunner has  given us a new Arrow that could not only last  another  season, but could be carried on into the future with new yet familiar characters. It did, however, leave this reviewer with  many questions. Arrow has  always begun it's new season with Oliver running through the woods, but this time we see William running  in the green hoodie, with Felicity not far behind.  We  find this to be Oliver's nightmare, as we  see  Diaz shoot Felicity.  I also think that this might be a foreshadowing  of the  part William plays  in future events.          Flash Forward:  Instead of  flashbacks we now have  flash forwards to twenty years into the future.  The new showrunner,  Beth Schwartz,  has said  this will continue the duration  of the show from  now an
