hawaiifiveo1028smallHawaii Five-0 has been incredibly strong this season so far with the chess piece killer storyline – especially with McGarrett and Alicia being kidnapped two weeks ago. I have to say I was actually surprised yet relieved that it was a female serial killer this time, because we’ve had so many male killers. It’s a fresh angle. Even though McGarrett and Alicia got away from her, I assure you we definitely haven’t seen the last of this killer, since she got away…and producers have said we should see her again later this season.

Last week was more of an emotional rollercoaster, in the sense that Adam was finally released from prison, allowing Kono to be reunited with her love. It was also very emotional watching Chin struggle with the knowledge that the people who are adopting his niece aren’t actually who they say they are, but he can’t prove it. I really hope they work it out, because personally I think she’d be better off staying with Chin.

On tonight’s episode, “Ka hale ho’okauweli (House of Horrors),” on Halloween, Five-0 investigates the murder of a medium with a checkered past who was apparently scared to death by a poltergeist. Also, Kono and Adam are kidnapped by what appears to be a death cult.

To see if the team can save Kono and Adam before it’s too late, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching MacGyver and Blue Bloods.

crazyexgirlfriend1021smallTonight, The CW’s musical comedy, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, returns for its second season. When the first season left off, Paula was extremely disappointed that Rebecca had lied to her about sleeping with Greg – especially with everything she had done to help Rebecca try to win over Josh. Rebecca asked Greg to go with her to Josh’s sister’s wedding (ignoring the fact that she had been uninvited). At the wedding, Josh told Rebecca she looked beautiful but then warned her about Greg’s dark side. Greg’s insecurity and his plentiful drinking at the wedding caused him to misread some glances between Rebecca and Josh, and he thought Rebecca was planning to break up with him. Josh went home to sleep it off. Meanwhile Valencia tried to pressure Josh to propose at the wedding, but when she realized he was still into Rebecca, she called it quits. Outside, Josh confessed his love for Rebecca, and they finally kissed. Rebecca was so happy that she accidentally dropped her guard and told Josh the stalkery truth about her move to West Covina – and he looked totally freaked out.

Will Josh still feel the same about Rebecca now that he knows the truth? How will Greg react when he hears about Rebecca kissing (and possibly sleeping with) Josh? Who will Rebecca choose? And will Paula ever forgive Rebecca? I’m sure her getting together with Josh would surely help in that matter! I’m looking forward to another fun-filled season of wacky antics and witty songs.

On tonight’s premiere, “Where Is Josh’s Friend?” Rebecca is convinced that Josh is in love with her, and Greg is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Paula comes to terms with what drove her obsession with Rebecca’s love life; and Darryl and White Josh try to navigate their new relationship.

Find out what’s happening with Rebecca’s love life tonight on The CW at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Black Mirror, MacGyver, Hamilton’s America, Z Nation, Van Helsing, and Quarry.

David E. Kelley has written and created many legal shows for the broadcast networks over the decades (Harry’s Law, Boston Legal, The Practice, Ally McBeal, and L.A. Law). And even my favorite show of his, Picket Fences, had a large legal component. Now the prolific television producer is heading into the no-limits realm of streaming with his latest legal drama Goliath. The series follows disgraced lawyer turned ambulance chaser Billy McBride (Billy Bob Thornton, Fargo), who finds himself with the unique opportunity to both redeem himself and get revenge on the firm that fired him when one of its biggest clients becomes the target of a wrongful death suit. Billy assembles a ragtag team to research the case, but they quickly uncover a much larger, deadly conspiracy. The amazing cast also includes William Hurt (Humans), Maria Bello (Touch, Prime Suspect), Olivia Thirlby (Good Vibes), Molly Parker (House of Cards), Tania Raymonde (Switched at Birth, Lost), Sarah Wynter (American Odyssey), Damon Gupton (Bates Motel, Prime Suspect), Dwight Yoakam (Under the Dome), and Harold Perrineau (Lost).

I have been a big fan of David E. Kelley’s work over the years. His shows always provide interesting, quirky characters, smart dialogue, and thought-provoking drama with a dash of humor. The entire 8-episode season of Goliah is available to Amazon Prime subscribers today, but the first episode is also available to anyone with an Amazon account. I’m looking forward to checking out this new series.

Catch all 8 episodes now on Amazon!

I’ll also be watching/recording MacGyver, The Exorcist, Wolf Creek, Z Nation, Van Helsing, and Quarry.

hawaiifiveo107smallHawaii Five-0 is off to a strong, exciting start to the season. They’ve chased a bad guy all over town on foot, and then last week they worked with a British MI6 agent to find a terrorist looking to cause nuclear reactors across Europe to meltdown. Thankfully they stopped it JUST before it happened – and then followed the agent to find him about to kill the bad guy responsible for killing his wife with a terrorist bombing. I personally didn’t find it fair that someone else got to kill the guy, but they only shot him when he started to shoot at them, so… This week, Alicia Brown (Claire Forlani), the former FBI profiler Steve asked for help with the serial killer in the first episode of the season, is back, so it should be fun!

On tonight’s episode, “He Moho Hou (New Player),” when FBI Profiler Alicia Brown (Claire Forlani) finds a body in her bed, she is forced to join McGarrett in the hunt for the chess-piece killer. Also, Kono reconnects with a former surfing competitor (Kanya Sesser), who is now a disabled and homeless war vet. Elizabeth Rohm (Law & Order) also guest stars.

See if Alicia, Steve, and the team can catch the chess-piece killer tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Hell’s Kitchen, Last Man Standing, MacGyver, & Blue Bloods.

hawaiifiveo930smallLast week on Hawaii Five-0, there was a first for Five-0: a dead body inside their war room! The team went on the trail of a serial killer killing…well, serial killers and leaving these weird old chess pieces in their mouths. There was a great six-minute chase scene, where the bad guy was played by a guy who does parkour in real life, so there were all kinds of jumps and escapes that the team had to match – including Steve, who was JUST released from the hospital following the life-saving surgery and liver transplant from Danny. My favorite was the drop from balcony to balcony to get to the ground. I always love that. I couldn’t do it… Would scare me to death! The scariest part was when Steve got home and someone had left another chess piece for him. Dun dun dun! Surely that will come into play later…

On a personal front… No Adam yet for Kono, but I know he gets out this season and they get to restart their married lives. And Abby is supposedly in Hawaii full-time now as a member of HPD. Julie Benz is still listed as a guest star, so I don’t know how much we’ll see her. But I do hope we get to see some of her with Chin, because they’re adorable. Speaking of Chin… He and Sara (his dead wife’s niece – Gabriel’s daughter) are growing closer since Gabriel’s and her mother’s deaths, but the social worker called and said she’d found Sara’s aunt and uncle in Mexico, which means in less than a month, Sara will be leaving. I hope not. I kind of love how Chin is with her, and it gives him another good memory of his wife. I guess we’ll see what happens. And finally, where is Max? There’s a new medical examiner. Am I not remembering something from the finale last season? Did he take a sabbatical or quit or something??

On tonight’s episode, “No ke ali’i wahine a me ka ‘aina (For Queen or Country),” Five-0 must work with rogue MI-6 agent Harry Langford (guest star Chris Vance) to find a terrorist planning to cause nuclear reactors across Europe to meltdown. Also, McGarrett and Danny ask retired FBI profiler Alicia Brown (guest star Claire Forlani) to help them find their serial killer vigilante.

Catch all the action tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Hell’s Kitchen, Last Man Standing, MacGyver, Blue Bloods, & Van Helsing.
