I am a huge fan of Dontnod’s Life is Strange franchise. The original title was one of the best releases of 2015, and the Deck Nine-developed prequel Before The Storm was a favorite of mine in 2017. Despite the occasionally wonky dialogue, both were great at getting into the mindset of angsty, nosey teenagers, which is apparently right in my wheelhouse. So, even when the news broke that the sequel would be moving on from Max, Chloe and the rest of Arcadia Bay, I was still interested. Two episodes into Life is Strange 2, I can say my faith in the French developer was not misplaced.
As mentioned, Life is Strange 2 sets an entirely new course for the series. We ditch the sleepy suburbs of Arcadia Bay for the slightly more populated city of Seattle. There we meet high-schooler Sean Diaz, who is just trying to live the life of any regular teenager.

The Good...
Lettice Rowbotham: Yes, she is called Lettice ("like the salad"). Lettice bubbled onto the stage, promising to be besties with Ant & Dec and admitting to the cameras that she was a) hungover and b) unprepared ("I listened to the track this morning in the car on the way here.") After David had suggested she is the poshest person to audition, nay, to come to Birmingham, Lettice proved why she was there by playing her electric violin to modern tracks like 'Counting Stars' and 'Good Feeling'. She won a standing ovation from the judges, who raved about her...

Some of my favorite Leverage episodes are flashbacks where team members portray the people in the story we watch. There was the "The Rashomon Job," where we got to see the same event from each of the team’s point of view, along with last season’s "The Van Gogh Job," where Aldis Hodge and Beth Riesgraf portrayed Charlie and Dorothy - and were amazing.
It's these episodes that keep us on our toes. They tend to break the mold a bit and in some cases have a very strong emotional connection for us and the team. This week the trend continued in "The D.B. Cooper Job," as Nate and the team agreed to help Agent McSweeten clear the black mark on his dying father’s service record with the FBI.
It's safe to say that Agent Todd McSweeten has changed since we first met him in season one. He started out a bit bumbling,...
