I have really enjoyed the new Lincoln Rhyme series so far. The cast is really phenomenal, on their own and together. Last week, they were on the trail of what turned out to be two killers who had teamed up to kill using mythology as their inspiration. One of their victims was a wannabe social media influencer who spent more time enthralled with her own face than not, and they came close to killing the girlfriend of a young man who was the son of one of their earlier victims (when he was a kid). Lincoln (who has again lost the ability to wiggle his toes, maybe due to stress from starting back to work? Such thinks Claire, his nurse/caregiver…), Amelia, and the rest of their team figured out who the killers were and tracked down the girlfriend just before she could be killed. Amelia got into a tussling match with the man who was there to kill the young woman, but fortunately Amelia got the better of him and tossed him over the edge of the church balcony, where he landed below on an iron/metal spire. Ouch. Also, throughout the episode, we watched THE “bone collector” killer working with some long human bones, and at the end, we saw that he’d sent one to Lincoln and another to Amelia. It seemed to me like he did something to the bones – like drilled into the bones and injected something, maybe? – but all we saw was Amelia and Claire unbox the “gifts.” Dun dun dun!

Again, I’m really enjoying this. If you’re a fan of procedurals or crime shows, etc, I urge you to give it a shot.

On tonight’s episode, “Russian Roulette,” when a young woman from an insular Russian community who witnesses a murder comes to Lincoln and Amelia for help, the case takes a shocking turn when the mysterious murder is linked to a cold case – the tragic disappearance of a teenage girl. Meanwhile, the Bone Collector’s “secret” is discovered.

See how the new case is tied to an old one tonight on NBC at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching American Housewife, Hawaii Five-0, & Blue Bloods.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 1/10/20

Jenny’s Choice #1

My first pick tonight is the series premiere of Lincoln Rhymes: Hunt for the Bone Collector on NBC. Aside from a clunky title (why not just leave it at Lincoln Rhymes?? But whatever…), this is another show that I’m totally, 100% on board with from the first mention of it. For one, it’s a cop show, and you know I love those. Two, it stars Russell Hornsby, whom I loved on Grimm. And three, it’s based on a great book series that I loved, by Jeffery Deaver.

Hornsby stars as titular character Lincoln Rhymes, a former NYPD detective who was injured in the line of duty – paralyzed and unable to return to work. When the killer he was chasing at the time, the Bone Collector, seems to have returned three years later, something finally, FINALLY, piques his interest enough that he decides to take the police up on their offer to let him consult…because his mind is as sharp as it ever was. Also starring is Arielle Kebbel (Midnight, Texas) as NYPD Officer Amelia Sachs, who was smart enough on the scene of a murder to catch some important evidence, and it’s through her that Lincoln will be able to view each scene and help track evidence. The show also stars Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, Mad Dogs, Life on Mars, Law & Order, Detroit 187), Brooke Lyons (Sullivan & Son, Life Sentence), Ramses Jimenez (Vida), Roslyn Ruff (Bluegrass/Blood Red), Tate Ellington (The Brave, Quantico), Brian F. O’Byrne (Aquarius, Saints & Strangers), & Courtney Grosbeck.

I’ve seen tonight’s pilot, and I was very, very happy with it. Russell Hornsby is great, as is (new to me) Arielle Kebbel. The cast has a fun chemistry, and the story lines are exciting. If this is at all your type of show, or heck, even if it usually isn’t, give it a shot. You might be surprised!

Don’t miss tonight’s premiere on NBC at 8/7c.
