Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Kyle’s Choice

americanodyssey45smallApril is such a busy month for new TV — tonight there are 6 new/returning shows alone! However, one of these new shows, American Odyssey, is one that I have been anxiously awaiting since I first saw the pilot last summer! Sergeant Odelle Ballard (Anna Friel, Pushing Daisies) is an American special operations soldier sent on a secret mission to find the wife of an Al Qaea leader in Mali, North Africa. After she comes across some documents that prove a US corporation was funding Al Qaeda, she finds herself a target. Now she is stranded abroad, struggling to find any way home. Meanwhile, back on US soil, former U.S. attorney turned corporate lawyer Peter Decker (Peter Facinelli, Nurse Jackie) discovers discrepancies in the financials of a big corporate merger he is working on; and political activist Harrison Walters (Jake Robinson, The Carrie Diaries) meets hacker Bob Offer (Nate Mooney, The Riches), who claims to have uncovered a big military cover-up involving Sergeant Ballard.

The amazing cast also includes Jim True-Frost (The Wire), Sadie Sink, Omar Ghazaoui, Elena Kampouris (Men, Women & Children), Daniella Pineda, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost), and Treat Williams (Everwood).

Tonight’s premiere is really well done — it was one of my favorite pilots last year, and I don’t understand why it has taken so long to be added to NBC’s schedule! The show has the epic look and feel of a feature film, and tonight’s premiere sets up a really interesting conspiracy, as well as Ballard’s emotional journey to return home (which is the only aspect of the show that NBC seems to be promoting in its ads). However, the series is an intense, dramatic political thriller — you don’t know who’s hiding what and who can be trusted, and whenever someone gets too close to the truth, they wind up dead. I’m excited to see how these three intertwined stories come together and how it all plays out.

On tonight’s episode, “Gone Elvis,” Sgt. Ballard stumbles upon incriminating computer files, only to become the sole survivor of an attack on her unit, in the series premiere of this drama centering on an international conspiracy and its impact on three strangers.

Find out how Sgt. Ballard survives and see the start of her struggle for home tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, A.D. The Bible Continues, Mad Men, The Royals, Shameless, Happyish, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 4/3/15

Posted on April 3, 2015 by and

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Jenny’s Choice

hawaiifiveo43smallIt’s been three weeks since the last new episode of Hawaii Five-0 (what is UP with the random breaks this second half of the season for so many shows?), and it was a great one. Steve was at Odell’s barbershop getting a haircut and old-fashioned shave, when a young man, bleeding from a gunshot wound, came stumbling in. They tried to stop the bleeding and Steve had to hold the bad guys off without his gun, which he’d left in his car, when they came to get the bleeding guy. There was a lot of action, a lot of bullets flying, and in the end, Steve figured out who was gunning for the kid. But it turned out the young guy was the bad guy’s son, and the father had figured out that his son was responsible for a good number of children going missing — he’d been kidnapping…and doing whatever else to…them for a while. He was trying to stop his son the only way he knew how without turning him in to the police. Seeing Steve break down was heartbreaking. Meanwhile, Jerry was accused of a string of home invasions, but Chin helped track down the guy who’d really been doing it. Jerry was hysterical as he freaked out over being in lockup for just a few hours. Overall, it was really a great episode — one of my favorite in a while.

I’ve seen tonight’s episode, and again, it’s a killer, emotionally. Michelle Hurd is back as Grover’s wife — and for a much bigger role this time. Also guest starring are Mykelti Williamson (Justified, 24, Boomtown, The Fugitive, & tons more) and Kim Wayans (Reckless, In Living Color). It’s really a terrific episode, and Grover absolutely shines.

On tonight’s episode, “’Ike Hanau,” when Grover’s oldest and closest friend tells him he witnessed his wife fall off a cliff to her death, Grover’s gut instinct tells him that this was no accident. Also, Danny and Dr. Shaw get trapped in an elevator with a dead body in need of processing.

To see what Grover’s gut is telling him, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, Grimm, Last Man Standing, Cristela, Bride By Design, & Blue Bloods.
