One Funeral and a Hacker: Sunday Night Comedy and Season Premiere Drama



Brooklyn Nine-Nine "The Funeral"

The Doberman funeral is set, Holts gives his career some thought, and Jake and Amy hit another difficult challenge in their relationship with their new captain, The Vulture.

Jake and Amy try to get the Vulture in trouble after making a threat to Jake that he should either dump Amy or face demotion to Beat Cop. They did anything in their witty ways to catch him in the act but failed. That was until Holt steps in after listening to Jake's speech at the funeral about how you can't let anything take away from you.

Holt, who's moved up to PR, enters the Nine-Nine and talks to The Vulture about the funeral. He does miss his old job and drinks his glass of wine and sobbing about it. Terry comes in and helps him until Holt asks him for one drink. One drink will give Terry so much energy that he freaks out.

One of my favorite scenes was when Terry talks to Holt about things that bum out his life, mostly the mango yogurt. Also, I couldn't get enough of Jake and Vulture's scene with the bagpipe. And, of course, Scully's reaction was that he looked sad when he said his wife just texted him about leaving him.

But Jake and Amy are still together after Holt gives the Vulture a deal that he would be the face of the NYPD's website so that he would leave their relationship alone.

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10. It was perfect, and I thought there were a lot of very humorous moments in this episode. Sandberg and Fumero are amazing.

You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Sunday nights at 8:30/7:30c on FOX



CSI: Cyber "Why-Fi" Season Premiere 


It is a new season with a fresh start when D.B. Russell joins the team.

The crime in this season premiere is about a father getting attacked and murdered and hacking into the daughter's doll to communicate. One's the hacker, and the other a handler who did the attack. The reason for this is the corporation that the victim worked for.    

It was a good start-up story, but not many teeth to put me in. But the one that did get my interest was the chemistry between Danson and Arquette with the cockroach auto racing to the Star Wars reference when D.B. power napping. And, of course, the drone's flying at the end of the episode.

Van Der Beek's character looks to grow in character with the downfall that his father has cancer and doesn't want to do anything. Opening up to a bartender, it wouldn't be a surprise if that wasn't the last time we see her and him together.

Krummy, on the other hand, doesn't look happy when he is called to court to testify against someone special to him. But she accomplished lied to him and was sent to jail. Hopefully, he'll find happiness and comment on her promise.

Ryan, not taking the head of the FBI, has plans to capture one of the most wanted cybercriminals in the world. I can't wait to see what they'll do with that criminal.

I enjoyed this series that premiered last season. But this one seems much better, adding Ted Danson to the cast. There's a lot more balance of humor and crime-solving drama between the cast members.

Overall, I give this episode 7/10.

You can catch CSI: Cyber Sunday nights at 10/9c on CBS.
