Stabler’s family is falling apart, but at least he knocked someone else’s corrupt father off his throne. Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 4 Episode 8 featured the powerful end of the Bonner saga alongside Bernie’s move out of Stabler’s home — and an equally tragic secret she’s been holding onto forever. The dialogue and

How much pain can one person take? When it comes to Hank Voight, Chicago PD pushes the limits, subjecting the man to so much pain and heartbreak and dooming him with what feels like a lifetime of loneliness. There’s a darkness to the series that hasn’t let up, and Chicago PD Season 11 Episode 7

OA had himself one lousy day, didn’t he? First, it was his new girlfriend, Gemma, on FBI Season 6 Episode 4. Then, it was a wild card of a Muslim FBI agent who served as a funhouse mirror for Omar. Let’s start with the latter first, since it was the more intriguing of the two storylines.

Well, what do you know? Having Colter and Reenie team up together produced one of the best episodes in this series’ short existence. Tracker Season 1 Episode 4 found Colter taking on a case close to Reenie’s heart, and while it still had the usual twists and turns we’ve come to expect, the personal aspect

Blue Bloods memorialized Treat Williams and his character in the most beautiful way possible. This series is always heart and family-centered without being overtly emotional, and that’s how they honored Lenny Ross on  Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 3. The episode revolved around Tess; bad behavior. It was only in the final moments that Frank

Voight still has it. And with a bumpy season thus far, it’s a relief to know after watching Chicago PD Season 11 Episode 6 that the series also still has it. From a full squad and intriguing case to a peek at our fearless leader, Justin callbacks, and that emotional ending, “Survival” was a strong

How’s the saying go? “Ain’t nobody fresher than our clique.” And they sure as heck aren’t as badass, either. The Rookie crew is the epitome of “squad goals,” and I can’t think of a better hour to showcase that than the milestone 100. Without even trying, The Rookie Season 6 Episode 2 naturally paid homage

Kevin Atwater is the very definition of a person who walks around with the world’s weight on his shoulders. He typically carries it well enough, leading with a big heart, a soft voice, a gentle demeanor, and a smile. While we typically recognize the positive attributes of what could be perceived as a hero and

Finally, some great content! The Rookie is back with the action, drama, humor, and, truthfully, an occasionally choppy opener with The Rookie Season 6 Episode 1. But the promise of a season worth devouring is right there for the taking. Its return has everything we love and appreciate about this series jampacked into the first

Welcome back to the big orange room! While it was nice to get more of Torres’ backstory, NCIS Season 21 Episode 1 felt a little bit of a backslide for Nick. He got sober and was in a really good place after all of his sessions with Dr. Grace during NCIS Season 20. He managed

Justin Hartley is back on primetime television in a role that is perfect for him. Fresh off six seasons of the beloved NBC hit This Is Us, Hartley steps into another starring role, this time a CBS vehicle that is all drama, action, and a healthy dose of mystery. While there’s a lot to work

Don’t forget to breathe now that the credits rolled! Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 4 Episode 4 featured a horrifying shootout. Stabler racing toward a dark house where men lurked in the shadows with machine guns, a surprise twist, and an unexpected injury all got my adrenalin pumping. How about you? The shootout was

Marcel wasn’t kidding when he said Archer was no choir boy. When he first arrived at Gaffney, Archer purposely let a patient lose consciousness so that he could claim an emergency need to do a procedure the patient didn’t consent to—and that was the least of his ethical lapses. But on Chicago Med Season 9

Lou-Lou has officially hit rock bottom. We’ve watched the youngest Thomas brother slide into a violent tailspin all season, which has seen him really give up on living his life. He’s still breathing, but he hasn’t been living for a while, instead caught in a vicious cycle of agony. And while he’s been trying to

How did you love that filler installment, dolls? A murder mystery was the perfect opportunity for some fun, high emotions, and drama, and it was abundantly clear that the cast and crew had a blast filming Good Trouble Season 5 Episode 15. The hour wasn’t all silliness and pointless fodder, as some notable developments pushed

Where do we even begin? Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Episode 8 was the best hour this season, with several storylines moving forward and setting up the final two hours in spectacular fashion. There’s almost too much to unpack after this one, but I will surely try. Overall, Power Book III: Raising Kanan

In all the years Stabler has been a fixture in the Law & Order universe, he never mentioned his brother. After meeting Randall on Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 4 Episode 2, we know why. Randall gave off seriously annoying vibes, seemed to be in a constant battle to one-up Elliot, and was ill-prepared

The mystery of who killed six nuns in their convent and why deepens with Monsieur Spade Season 1 Episode 2. All kinds of things around out of whack. There’s a nun who isn’t, a nosey neighbor, possibly with an ulterior motive, and a shooter who aims to scare rather than kill. We also got a

Change is always difficult, and doubly so if your name’s Elliot Stabler. Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 4 Episode 1 began with the oft-repeated beat of Stabler getting into trouble on an undercover mission. (Seriously, why don’t the bad guys ever recognize him when he’s always undercover and never changes his appearance?) But things

It was a long hiatus, but the Intelligence Unit finally returned to us, just not in full form. After an adrenaline-pumping season finale, we dove into a blood-soaked and relatively depressing premiere. And if one can conclude anything from Chicago PD Season 11 Episode 1, it’s that Hailey Upton is not at the top of

It’s so hard…to say goodbye…to yesterday. When the next hour begins at a grave site with the Boyz 2 Men version playing and Raq silently wiping away a tear as she looks on at the service from afar, dreaming about another life and how things could have been. Okay, I’m not actually sure if that

Remember when I said Ronnie would be a problem last week? Well, yes. It’s becoming abundantly clear that Ronnie’s single-minded focus on getting back into the game and not accepting any disrespect could set him on a collision course with his brother and everyone that gets in his way. If Power Book III: Raising Kanan

Paul Robinson is the epitome of a love-to-hate character (though sometimes he crosses the line into pure annoyance.) He always thinks he’s right, tries to control everyone he loves for “their own good,” and ends up alone when his plans blow up. It happened again on Neighbours during the week of 12-18-23, with Terese suggesting

Are Thomas and Juliet better together or apart? That relationship quandary was at the heart of Magnum P.I. Season 5 Episode 17, and it made for a couple of entertaining cases, one comedic, one dramatic. Higgins had no one but herself to blame for what was to transpire. On yet another day beginning at La Mariana, Rick

Ah, it’s good to be back in the Southside, where family dynamics are more fractured than ever, the cops are swarming, and Kanan Stark has finally begun to look like THE Kanan Stark. Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Episode 1 was a stellar start to another season of a series that has exceeded

Thanksgiving is often the forgotten holiday, sandwiched between Halloween and Christmas. So it’s no wonder Eric almost forgot about it. In recent years, Days of Our Lives has ignored Thanksgiving altogether or given lip service to celebrating it (one year, the only nod to the holiday was a wordless montage where people sat down at

Secrets coming to the surface is only half the fun on soaps. While it’s exciting to finally learn the truth, the best part is how it impacts our favorite characters. It feels pointless if the characters walk away unscathed after an explosive plot. Fortunately, Neighbours during the week of 11-20-23 didn’t make that mistake. This

The people behind Mosley and Associates are effective at finding missing people because they care more than the regular person or cop. Gabi Mosley is the best person you would want to search for you if you went missing because she cares more than most. Every case is personal because it reminds her of something

Is it any wonder that Bass Reeves was the inspiration for The Lone Ranger? We meet Bass in the middle of an ongoing battle Civil War, where he’s fighting side-by-side with his “owner,” Confederate Army Commander George Reeves. Bass promises George he will follow him into battle and fire when necessary, and he does just

Vic really had Tommy fooled. For as intuitive and shrewd as Tommy can be, he’s juggling many different hats, and Vic’s managed to endear himself to the perpetually suspicious man. But Tommy found out the truth on, Power Book IV: Force Season 2 Episode 9 and we can all guess where things may go from
