Jenny’s Choice

If you didn’t watch the Canadian import of Private Eyes when it aired back in February, you missed out. It’s such a fun show. Jason Priestley stars as former pro-hockey player Matt Shade, divorced father of a blind teenage daughter named Jules, who stumbles onto a job as a private investigator alongside Angie Everett. Angie, played by Cindy Sampson, has her own single-woman PI firm she inherited from her father, who passed away not too long before the show started. She was reluctant to let Matt join her, but he showed enough promise that she agreed, and their partnership was born. Matt’s ex-wife Becca was away, so Jules was living with him and his father. The relationship between the three of them is very sweet, and Matt’s relationship with Angie is a lot of fun. They had some great cases and chemistry, but it didn’t go beyond friendship and a little flirting. Angie is involved with a police detective (and in fact went on vacation with him at the end of the season finale).

Also in the season finale, Becca was back in town, so their formal custody arrangements were back in play, meaning Matt was going from having Jules full-time to only seeing her every other weekend. He chose to not paint his ex-wife in a bad light to their daughter, even though he’s not happy about the arrangement. And finally, when Angie was on vacation, he found an envelope from Angie’s father to her taped to the bottom of his desk (which was her father’s desk before his death). We don’t know what’s in it, but since it was hidden, it should be fun and interesting to find out!

I’m excited about tonight’s season premiere and urge you to check out this fun show if you haven’t yet!

On tonight’s episode, “The Extra Mile,” Angie returns from vacation to find Shade being thrown out of the window, and that he has a new case. A friend of his has had her racing team’s property vandalized, and the driver has been receiving death threats. Matt meanwhile comes to terms with the new custody arrangement Becca has forced on him but realizes Becca may not have Jules’s well-being at heart. Angie is given the letter that Matt found under his desk.

Find out what was in the envelope and how Matt handles the situation with Becca tonight on ION at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Celebrity Family Feud, Instinct, The $100,000 Pyramid, Food Network Star, Iron Chef America, & To Tell the Truth.

Phoebe’s Choice

Well, it’s time for another full season installment of the MCU’s Netflix original series, as Luke Cage season two went live last night. With 3 out of 5 of the last MCU Netflix seasons being flops in my book, including season one of this show, I am not expecting a whole lot out of this one. But I’ll watch, and if it’s as bad as Jessica Jones season two was, it’ll only take me 3 months to grind through the pain of watching it.

Chronologically, Luke’s story left off at the end of The Defenders, one of the fun recent seasons which saw Daredevil sacrifice himself to destroy the dragon bones under NYC that the Hand was going to use to enslave millions. Somehow Matt survived that explosion, but Jessica and Luke don’t know that as they catch a drink and agree to keep in touch.

Over in his own first season, the last episode opened with a ridiculous 15-minute boxing match with Cage’s brother, Diamondback. Diamondback is almost a legit super-villain with his powered-up battle suit that allows him to go toe-to-toe with the superhuman Cage. But my suspension of disbelief was dialed to Spinal Tap 11 as Cage at any moment could have simply torn the powerpack off the back of the suit and ended the fight. After seemingly all of Harlem watches the bout, Misty Knight brought Luke to the station for questioning, and a series of lofty soliloquies ensued.

Misty pinned the murder of slain crime lord Cottonmouth on Mariah but found out her key witness had been murdered, so it wouldn’t stick. And poor Luke got sent to jail for old crimes he’d been running from for years. But don’t feel too bad for him. He got out in episode one of The Defenders. Some critics are already calling season two not as good as season one, and I thought S1 of Luke Cage was just an over-glorified hip hop video that happened to have a cool comic book character in it. So like I said, my expectations are low for this one. Oh well, I’m still gonna watch!

Check out all of season two now on Netflix.

I’m also going to be watching 12 Monkeys.
