americancrimesmallI really enjoyed ABC’s new series American Crime when I first saw the pilot last summer and have been anxiously waiting for it to air. Rewatching the series premiere last week, I was quickly reminded why. In the opener, divorced couple Russell and Barbara learn that their son has been killed and his wife raped during a robbery at their home. Barbara quickly put herself in the spotlight, contacting a reporter to tell her story. Meanwhile, the police followed a lead that a Hispanic male was seen leaving the scene—and arrested Tony Gutierrez, who couldn’t have been more cooperative and seemingly innocent. Meanwhile, Russ learned that his perfect son was actually a drug dealer, and that was likely what lead to his death.

This series is very thought-provoking and shows how people’s biases and stereotypes can be completely wrong and that drug addicts and dealers come in all shapes and sizes. When young, blonde, white Aubry is battered and beaten, the police immediately ask her if it was her black boyfriend, Carter, who did this to her. Barb has also proven herself to be quite racist and predjudiced, so I’m really looking forward to seeing how she reacts when the truth about her son comes out and what she does when she confronts her son’s killers. I’m also interested to see if Tony will be a victim of circumstances and profiling—he certainly doesn’t seem like he would last a day in prison—or if will he be cleared and set free.

This show has a great cast giving some stellar performances, and I’m looking forward to seeing how all the drama unfolds.

On tonight’s episode, “Episode Two,” Barb and Russ face Carter and Aubry, who are reunited for the first time since being arrested more than a day ago. Meanwhile, a terrified Tony lands in juvenile detention, testing the resolve of his father, Alonzo; investigators find an existing warrant for Hector’s arrest in Mexico; and emerging facts about Matt and Gwen strain the relationship between their parents.

Learn what facts come out about Matt and Gwen tonight on ABC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Big Bang Theory, The Odd Couple, Grey’s Anatomy, The Blacklist, The Slap, Archer, Dig, and Wizard Wars.

csicyber311smallI loved last week’s premiere of CSI: Cyber, although I told my husband I think it’s more like Criminal Minds than CSI. But whatever the name, I enjoyed it. James Van Der Beek’s Agent Mundo is probably my favorite character so far (because of his interaction with the young kid next door to the kidnapped baby and how he didn’t even hesitate to jump into the pond to rescue the baby from the car, when all the cops just stood around with their thumbs up their butts, it seemed), but I do love Agent Avery Ryan, played by Patricia Arquette. She’s fantastic, and obviously there’s some back story that will be interesting to dive into. One other thing I found interesting was the fact that Agent Ryan brought in the former black-hat hacker after he was caught by Agent Krumitz and arrested/found guilty. I love the idea of rehabilitation that way if possible.

On tonight’s episode (which is probably my favorite of the four episodes I’ve seen so far), “CMND:\Crash,” Agent Avery Ryan and her cyber team investigate a roller coaster crash caused by someone who found a way to hack into the ride’s internal computer. Jason George, Joe Reegan, & Christopher Douglas Reed guest star.

See if Agent Ryan & her team can solve the case tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Melissa & Joey, Criminal Minds, Mystery Diners, black-ish, Best New Restaurant, & Donnie Loves Jenny.

ncisla39smallIt’s been a couple of weeks since the last NCIS: LA, and it was kind of a sad one. Thapa — the Nepali soldier they’d worked with before who’d given Deeks advice that led to him back away from Kensi slightly — returned, intent on grabbing a woman contracted by the CIA, but when someone shot at them as they were facing off — nearly killing Sam — Thapa said it wasn’t his man, so suddenly they had to work together to figure out who wanted the woman dead…and if not her, then find who it was they’d been aiming for. The team figured out the woman the CIA was bringing into the US was spying for her country, rather than coming to the US for safety and to give them all the info they needed on the nukes her country had. There was a great ninja fight at the hospital, and in the end, Thapa was killed as he saved Sam. It turned out the gunman from the beginning of the episode had been aiming for him. I felt horrible for Deeks especially, because he honestly considered the man a friend (or as close to a friend as their positions would allow). On a good note, Thapa had given Deeks advice again about Kensi, and because of that, Kensi & Deeks ended the episode a little bit calmer than they’d started. (Although they started together in bed, and that’s never a bad thing! LOL) But things were touch-and-go with Sam for a while. Thankfully he was going to be okay.

On tonight’s episode, “Savoir Faire,” while the team investigates the death of one of three Afghanistan soldiers who are training in the U.S., they discover two other soldiers are missing and must find them before they’re forced to reveal classified military operations to their captors. Also, Sam is back to work but his team worries it may be too soon, and Callen realizes he has very little in common with his partner.

See more funny banter between Sam and Callen tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly, Scorpion, & Food Fortunes.

hawaiifiveo36smallLast week’s Hawaii Five-0 was a strong ep for Steve & Danny, while the other cast members seemed to barely show up at all. When a jewelry store was robbed and the security guard—a retired cop—was killed, Five-0 began investigating. They quickly realized the killer had been shot by his partner in crime, and they put her under surveillance by staking out an apartment across the way from hers. The old woman who lived there was on vacation. As they kept an eye on the partner, they had visits from a drug-dealer neighbor and the sweetest old lady who ended up with an adorable story line with Jerry about a missing ficus tree. Jon Lovitz played a kookie pawn shop owner who was in on it but ended up helping them. Turned out the jewelry store owner was part of it all along. The original robber survived, only to play Terminator and come with (stolen) guns blazing, decked out in all the riot gear and Kevlar he could wear, to kill the jewelry store owner, shooting up cops left & right in the process. In the end, Kono tricked him and took him down.

The other part of the episode that was great was Steve and Danny going to couples therapy again. I loved how Steve gave up a tiny bit of control by letting Danny drive (his own car! LOL) after Danny bought him a guitar since Steve admitted to having played one when he was young but stopping when he got stage fright at the talent show.

On tonight’s episode, “Pono Kaulike (Justice for All),” McGarrett enlists Joe’s help after Danny and Chin are arrested for deadly past transgressions. Terry O’Quinn & Jimmy Buffett guest star.

To see if Danny and Chin can get out from under their murder (& more?) charges, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, King of the Nerds, & Blue Bloods.

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.
