Last week’s Chicago PD was tough on Burgess especially. A vigilante was going around killing rapists, and that brought up all of Burgess’s feelings about her sister’s attack. Even though they got her attackers, Burgess knew they wouldn’t be in prison nearly long enough for what they’d done. That meant she was pretty conflicted inside about tracking down the killer and putting them away. The killer turned out to be the female leader of a gang, and they caught her, but not before she killed another bad guy right under their noses (literally with a wire on trying to catch the guy, she shot and killed him). Burgess later admitted to Voight that she’d seen the gang lady get the gun, but of course Voight didn’t get angry. He understood more than anyone about wanting revenge.

Tonight is part one of a two-episode crossover with tomorrow’s Chicago Fire. This one should be a little different because instead of just having one cast member getting a scene or two in the other show or coming into it in the last five minutes, this will feature multiple characters throughout both episodes. It sounds so exciting and the previews have looked great, so I can’t wait to see how it goes!

On tonight’s episode, “Profiles,” Intelligence investigates a string of bombings targeting members of the media. Racing against a ticking clock, the team enlists Firehouse 51 to help examine the devices and prevent the next attack.

See how/why Intelligence and Firehouse 51 get involved tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Goldbergs, 9-1-1, Guy’s Grocery Games, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, Property Brothers, SEAL Team, American Housewife, & Criminal Minds.

Thank goodness the Gabriel Hicks story line on NCIS is over. The best part of the episode had to be the creepy killer (Paul Triff) who used to live in McGee’s apartment. He was back last week, after we learned that he’d been Hicks’s cellmate. He agreed to tell them anything Hicks had told him, but only if he got to spend some time in the apartment. So McGee sent his family away, brought in a cage for Triff to stay in, and cleared the apartment of anything that pointed to McGee having a family. Triff was kind of hysterical, and in the end, he saved McGee’s life when Hicks showed up and tried to shoot him. We nearly saw the end of Fornell when Hicks kidnapped him, but Fornell got himself free in the trunk, crawled up through back seat, and started strangling him from behind until he crashed the car. They fought and Hicks nearly got the best of him, but Gibbs was there and used Fornell’s Taser and zapped him, saving the day. Of course!

On tonight’s episode, “Handle with Care,” Gibbs and the team work to clear the name of retired Marine Sergeant John Ross (Drew Carey, who in real life served in the Marine Reserves for six years) when cyanide is found in one of the hundreds of care packages he sends to active-duty Marines.

See how they clear Ross’s name tonight on CBS at 8/7c.

Last week, the third season of UnREAL premiered on Lifetime. As the season opened, Rachel had just finished her six-month self-imposed exile following the deadly events of the previous season. She reluctantly agreed to return to “Everlasting,” but she warned Quinn that she had made a vow to no longer lie. Just as she arrived on set, Rachel was ready to bolt again when she saw that ex Jeremy — who committed double murder for the show last season — had also returned, but Quinn and Chet told her they needed to keep him close so that they could be sure he wasn’t going to talk to the police. For its new season, Everlasting has its first ever female suitress, Silicon Valley mogul Serena, and it looked like she wasn’t going to be as easy to control as past suitors. However, it wasn’t long before the producers were off to their usual despicable, manipulative activities, which were jaw-dropping for the show’s new on-set psychiatrist, who couldn’t believe what he was witnessing.

I had forgotten how much I missed this show until I watched the season premiere. I found myself instantly sucked back into this crazy world with these insane, manipulative people. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the season plays out!

On tonight’s episode, “Shield,” after a poker game with the contestants that leaves Serena the sore winner, Chet teaches her how to be the woman that all men want to marry. Quinn makes a connection with one of the contestants after meeting Chet’s new swimsuit model girlfriend.

Find out what Chet teaches Serena tonight on Lifetime at 10:02/9:02c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Good Girls, The Resident, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, iZombie, Final Space, and The Alienist.

The last new episode of Chicago Fire was a blast…in more ways than one. First, Casey and Severide butted heads over how best to rescue an officer stuck in the driver’s seat of a prisoner transport van – in the end, Casey agreed they had to pull him out fast after the prisoner in back began kicking the guy’s seat, which meant he was injuring him more. Then when Casey got the back door open, the prisoner jumped out and ran, and Severide had to chase him down. Severide got a commendation for that action, which he thought his old family friend, Chief Grissom, put him up for. Grissom was sniffing around about the disagreement between Casey and Severide, but Severide shut him down, finally walking out of the bar later on, telling him he wanted to do things his own way, not Grissom’s, basically by running toward danger to help people, rather than stepping on people’s shoulders to get ahead. Nowhere was that shown more clear than the end at the chemical plant, where he and Casey put themselves in danger by holding a pipe closed while everyone else got out. The only way out for them was to…jump off the roof into the water. Really?! Neither of them are leaving the show, so I can only assume they’re going to be okay. But that is a BIG LEAP (Hah! See what I did there?) to think they could reach the river!

On tonight’s episode, “The F is For,” after photos of Casey and Severide jumping off the roof during a heroic rescue make the front page of the newspaper, Boden unwillingly agrees for the photographer to chronicle a day-in-the-life story at the Firehouse. Dawson and Brett are on a mission to find out what keeps happening to Gerald (guest star Jonathan Isaac Frank), a frequent flier they know who lives on the streets. Meanwhile, Herrmann decides to take up life-coaching as a side job, and Kidd makes a decision regarding her living arrangement with Severide.

Find out what happens when the photographer hangs out at the station tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Big Bang Theory, American Ninja Warrior: Ninja vs Ninja, Top Chef, Will & Grace, Beat Bobby Flay, Impractical Jokers, & S.W.A.T.

Tonight, NBC kicks off the new dramedy Good Girls, which follows three suburban mothers who decide to fix their financial problems by robbing a grocery store. Beth Boland (Christina Hendricks, Mad Men) discovers that her husband, car dealership owner Dean (Matthew Lillard, Twin Peaks, Bosch), has been both cheating on her and has been lying about the family’s devastating financial situation for years. Her younger sister Annie’s (Mae Whitman, Parenthood) ex is demanding custody of their daughter Sadie (Izzy Stannard, Brad’s Status) and she needs money to hire a lawyer. And friend Ruby (Retta, Parks and Recreation) and her security guard husband Stan (Reno Wilson, Mike & Molly) are in desperate need of money to pay for their daughter’s kidney treatments. Fed up with their situations, the women break bad and rob the local grocery store where Annie works, hoping to get $30K to ease their money problems. However, their situation becomes a lot more complicated when they discover they got more than they bargained for and are now wrapped up in a dangerous situation involving the head of a local crime gang, Rio (Manny Montana, Graceland).

I really enjoyed tonight’s premiere. The cast is great and really play well off one another, and the pilot does a good job of establishing the characters’ relationships and motivations. The series feels much like Big Little Lies meets Breaking Bad. You’ve got the dark secrets these suburban moms are dealing with that ultimately cause them to do really bad things in the name of helping out their families. The series has this nice blend of drama and humor. The women forced to do some unexpected things, and while they initially have good intentions, things quickly get out of hand and desperation takes over. I look forward to seeing what other twists and turns happen over the course of the season and if/how these women are about to get out of the situation they’ve managed to get themselves into. Will be see them go full-on Walter White by the end of the season, or will they find a way to still remain good people at heart?

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” a trio of desperate suburban moms decide that being good never got them anywhere and rob a supermarket in order to get a little cash to help them and their families out. Unfortunately, the supermarket is already the territory of a local gang, and the women soon find themselves in hot water.

Meet the three moms who take on more than they bargained for tonight on NBC at 10/9c.
