csicybersmallEveryone knows I love procedurals, so when I learned last season that there would be a new CSI spinoff, entitled CSI: Cyber, I was more than thrilled. I was even more excited when I learned that it would be headed up by Patricia Arquette, whom I adored on Medium. The show is inspired by real-life Cyber Psychologist Mary Aiken, and Patricia Arquette stars as Special Agent Avery Ryan, who heads the Cyber Crime Division of the FBI. The CCD solves cases that “start in the mind, live online and play out in the real world.” The rest of the cast is great too: James Van Der Beek, Peter MacNicol, Charley Koontz, Shad Moss, & Hayley Kiyoko. I especially love Peter MacNicol and James Van Der Beek, but the whole cast is fun to watch.

I’ve seen several episode, including tonight’s pilot, and I really enjoyed them. The cases are interesting, different, and fun. You get some of the CSI feel but combine that with Criminal Minds (especially the Garcia scenes, unsurprisingly).

On tonight’s episode, “Kidnapping 2.0,” Special Agent Avery Ryan and her team of FBI cyber analysts investigate a case of hacked baby monitors.

Check out the premiere tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Melissa & Joey, The Goldbergs, Criminal Minds, Modern Family, Mystery Diners, black-ish, Wahlburgers, & Donnie Loves Jenny.

hellskitchen33smallIt’s time for another season of Hell’s Kitchen, and even though this show is in its 14th season, I can’t get enough. I love cooking competition shows, but no matter how many new ones come out, this one is still at the top of my list because of the crazy antics that get brought out with all the chefs. The group of chefs this season appears to be quite the smorgasbord, but it is definitely going to be a hot season with drama, because this bunch looks feisty. I’m going to start a count of how many times someone messes up scallops in the season premiere.

On tonight’s episode, “18 Chefs Compete,” Chef Ramsay asks 18 new contestants to present their signature dishes in front of an audience, and the winning team earns a night with William Shatner; one team gets kicked out of the kitchen during the first dinner service.

To see how this group of 18 handles the heat in Ramsay’s kitchen, tune in to FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching The Voice, Fresh Off the Boat, Pretty Little Liars, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Mindy Project, Chopped, Chicago Fire, and Gangland Undercover.

thefollowing32smallI’m really excited for tonight’s third season premiere of The Following! When we left off last season, Joe Caroll had finally been caught and arrested (again) after he teamed up with Ryan to save Claire from the evil Luke and Mark. During the cat-and-mouse game with the twins, Mike revealed that he was the one who killed their mother, which sent them into a rage as they both attacked Mike. Max arrived in time to help, killing Luke. However, Mark managed to get away, dragging the body of his brother with him, and was picked up by someone in a car who seemed to know him.

Who is this mysterious driver? Where is Mark hiding out, and will he be coming back to get his revenge on Ryan, Max, and Mike? What kind of crazy cult will Ryan and the gang face next? Will Joe manage to escape yet again, will they let him out to help apprehend some worse killer, or will he actually be put to death? I’m looking forward to another season of creepy, suspenseful goodness!

This summer I was in the press room for the series, where we got to interview the cast/producer of the series. Check out my videos at NoReruns.net.

On tonight’s premiere, “New Blood,” Joe Carroll is on death row and his followers are no more, but a fresh series of brutal killings reopens old wounds for Ryan Hardy and a terrifying new nemesis awaits him and the team.

Learn who the new nemesis is tonight on FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Night Shift, Gotham, Chasing Life, and Better Call Saul.

battlecreek31smallI love both Josh Duhamel and Dean Winters, and you know I love a good procedural, so put them together, and I’ve gotta love it, right? I’ve seen tonight’s premiere of Battle Creek, and I did like it. It’s slightly different than I’d hoped (I adore Josh D, and I wanted him to be a nice guy, but at least in the first episode, his character comes across as a bit of a douche…), but I still enjoyed it.

Duhamel and Winters play two law enforcement officers who have completely opposite views of the world and crime-solving. Winters plays Detective Russ Agnew, a good but kind of gruff, rough-around-the-edges small-town cop. Duhamel plays Special Agent Milton Chamberlain, who opens up an FBI field office at the police station and chooses Russ to be his partner. He’s smooth and polished, and the difference between the men leads to frustration, humor, and more. Janet McTeer, Kal Penn, Edward Fordham, Jr., and Aubrey Dollar also star.

On tonight’s episode, “The Battle Creek Way,” jaded Det. Russ Agnew reluctantly partners with charming FBI Agent Milt Chamberlain to solve a drug-related double homicide, but while Milt investigates with the high-tech resources of the FBI, Russ prefers old-school police work and instinct.

Meet TV’s newest two crime solvers tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Mikie Saves the Date, The Great British Baking Show, Guy’s Grocery Games, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, All-Star Academy, The Last Man on Earth, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

hawaiifiveo227smallI’ve really been impressed with the stories on Hawaii Five-0 this season, and I continue to be amazed at the character growth weekly. Last week’s episode was an incredible nail biter, while we watched McGarrett and the team track down an arsonist with the help of a suspended ATF Special Agent Kathy Millwood (Melina Kanakaredes, CSI: NY), whose husband was killed by the arsonist. They managed to track him down to a hotel, but he took Agent Millwood hostage and planned on burning them down together in the hotel room. I was actually a little concerned we were going to have to watch yet another burn victim scene in this episode, but thankfully Steve saved the day and got to Kathy before the gas she was doused with was lit, turning her into a human torch. The subplot of this episode was really good with Danny and Amber going away for the weekend, but little did Amber know her abusive ex-husband, Frank, was on the island looking for her. Turned out that Frank was sent to jail for almost killing Amber, whose real name is actually Melissa. No matter what you call her, she was not looking to see him again. Unfortunately for Danny, who didn’t know anything about Frank, the man tracked them to the cottage and he knocked Danny out in the kitchen. When Danny came around, he saw Frank holding a knife to Amber. Always the hero, Danny jumped into motion, and while he saved Amber, he got stabbed himself. My favorite part came when Amber was leaving to drive Danny to the hospital and Frank jumped in front of the car. Amber hit him and then proceeded to run him over—karma at its finest, if you ask me. In the end, Danny survived, Amber told him everything, and of course Steve rushed to the hospital to check up on his partner. I’m really looking forward to where this season is headed, but wherever it is, you can be sure it’s going to be fantastic.

On tonight’s episode, “Kuka’awale (Stakeout),” McGarrett and Danny work on their relationship while they stakeout a woman’s apartment after she escapes following a diamond robbery. Max Weinberg, Cloris Leachman, Charlie Saxton, Jon Lovitz, & Jessica Lowndes guest star, and Daniel Dae Kim makes his directorial debut.

To see how this bromance couple works on their relationship, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching The Amazing Race, 12 Monkeys, and Glee.
