The Good Wife Spin Off
Contains spoilers, click to show
The Good Fight is a spin off to the hugely successful The Good Wife but it doesn't spend much time living in its shadow and proves almost straight away that it can carry its own weight.
After her close friends are accused of organising a huge financial scam, Diane - who invested her money with them - finds herself unable to retire and forced to jump ship to another law firm. She joins the fabulous Luca and brings along her god daughter (whose parents were responsible for the scam) and together they ride out the scandal. Eli's daughter, Marissa also makes a return and it's great to see her in a more permanent role than she had in The Good Wife.
The drama is reminiscent of Good Wife at its best but it brings its own identity. While you can guess what's going to happen a few episodes ahead it doesn't spoil it too much because the performance put in by the cast is brilliant.

In all honesty this is the first book by J.A. Armstrong I picked up. It drew me in as a teacher but when I realized it was a spin off of the By Design series I put it aside and started that one. I read this one at the time it seemed to fit into the other series. I love the characters and how their relationship develops. Michelle and Melanie's relationship evolving from just friends to more just flowed. As with all of Armstrong's characters they all have flaws but that makes them real.

So, truth: I wasn't happy with how this book ended... and it's the last in the series!!! There are so many open-ended plot holes that were never answered. And there was a weird twist with one of the secondary characters that I wasn't expecting... it left somewhat of an odd taste in my mouth.......
But there is some good news! Day is working on a kinda spin-off series that is supposedly going to answer some of the questions and plot holes left unanswered. So we shall see.

The humor in this movie was spot on. The cast was excellent. The story line was great and it fit perfectly with the original Jumanji movie.
I think it is really important to mention- this is a spinoff. It is not a remake of the original. My fiance was confused about that and a little annoyed but in my opinion if you can understand the difference between spin off and remake then this is an excellent movie that lovers of the original movie should definitely take the time to check out.

Ready For Book Two
Can I start by asking, "When does the second book come out?! This retelling of King Midas surpassed all my wildest expectations and then some. This spin was written rather creatively and I found myself enjoying this adventure full of pirates, first loves and curses. I will tell you that I was shocked and caught off guard by some startling revelations and I eagerly await with anticipation for the next book. Kudos to this author's storytelling and spell weaving as I fell in love with the web she spun!
Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn was undoubtedly the best thing in the mediocre 'Suicide Squad'. How you take to her livewire, hyperactive and at times a tad grating character will depend on how much you enjoy this spin off. Luckily I thought there was a good balance of action and humour here and plenty of entertainment to be found in Quinn's amusing narration and her interactions with the other Birds. It's got its faults certainly particularly in Ewan McGregor's hammy over the top villain but it's still worth a watch for Robbie's performance.
