The final episode of ACCA was not without it’s flaws, but it did release the mysteries it had been holding at last. As expected, Jean Otus had his own plans, showing the true nature of his character. Although it may not have been what some members of ACCA wanted, Jean makes a difficult decision that… Read More ACCA: The Gift of Being Trusted
Only one episode remains in ACCA. The story has come so far, and although some of the recent episodes have been weaker, there’s still a lot of potential for a satisfying conclusion.

But sometimes those moments that seem anticlimactic are the catalysts for… Read More ACCA: The Slow Revelation

None of that has happened yet, though, and even though we don’t know the true extent… Read More ACCA: A Person Caught Up In Things

But in this time of tranquility, the people… Read More ACCA: A Hidden Spark
It’s easy to trust people to a certain extent. We trust our friends to treat us with kindness and respect because of the time we’ve shared together.
