“Checkered Shirt Season Two” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
Frankly, this is a hard series to describe. Enjoying Season One for its creativeness and freshness, this took that original story to a whole new level. In my review of the initial narrative, I said that the box had been opened and wondered how it would be closed. Well, close it they did. But how they choreographed the closure is where the flaws surface. The story begins to fold onto itself prematurely.

Both were participants in the first season of “His Man.” From what I remember, they barely had any interaction on the show. So, I was intrigued by what kind of chemistry these two “His Man” contestants would bring to the show. Thankfully, they didn’t disappoint!!

We always think of the heart when it comes to love, but we often forget how hard our minds work, not only to hold on to the people we care about, but to protect us when the weight of those memories becomes too much.
