The Blacklist Cast Change

Well it looks like someone else will have to hunt down Raymond Reddington as news comes down that Enrique Murciano won't be a part of Season 5 of The Blacklist.

Murciano announced the news himself on Twitter on Monday and promises to "See you all very soon."

The Without A Trace and Bloodline alum joined The Blacklist in April as obsessive FBI investigator Julian Gale, appearing in Season 4's final four episodes that included the two part finale. Murciano had an option in his contract to become a series regular next season but that was declined by the show.

Other news (if you missed out) The Blacklist Redemption was cancelled last month and it clears the way for the original cast member Ryan Eggold to return in Season 5, which will premiere on Wednesday, Oct 4th.

The Night Shift "Burned" Season Finale

In the season finale, everyone is put on the line.

After being trapped in a rapidly wildfire, Scott and Jordan are forced to perform surgery in a farm. Jordan tells Scott that Annie stole the pills. The group gets turned around because of the fire. Mac takes his chance to save them while distracting the fire into another direction and when Scott gets back gets word that Mac has a brain tumor and Jordan knew that Mac had it and wasn't going to make it.

Scott confronts Annie about the pills and tells her that she needs to go back to rehab.But she doesn't want to go but he offers him going with her for support.

Paul's father comes into the hospital and hopefully will get the hospital and the staff won't get fired. But Paul and his father budded heads after a bad judgment on a patient treatment that lands him in surgery. Rick really was going to stick it up to the guy after confronting him about it.

Meanwhile, Drew and Rick go the distance to keep Brianna from her bio father and find some dirt on the guy and soon he drops the custody lawsuit and Drew and Rick takes Brianna home.

TC does what he can to not only get the supplies but to save Syd. He offers the officer to save the his son so he can walk again in exchange to getting the supplies. Syd's condition gotten worse when performing surgery for the boy and TC had to step up and perform.

Paul's father announces that he has bought the hospital, but with good news there's always bad news and the bad news is that Topher gets fired. With Paul about the celebrate on the good news, he hears the news from Topher about firing and takes a huge stand against his dad and walks out along with everyone else, expect for Shannon because she doesn't want to go back home.

Shannon and Paul confess their love for each other and Paul asked Kenny for the money that he gave to him back because of his father's cutting off money from him.

And near the end, it ended with another season finale cliffhanger as TC and a well healthy Syd decides to go their separate ways but soon a bunch of missiles strikes the camp and leaving them hurt and unconscious.

This was a very good finale, kind of closed up chapters and opened up new ones. Overall I give this episode a 8/10 and the season 8.5/10.

 The one thing I'm glad is that tonight (June 22 at 10/9c) The Night Sift Season 4 will begin and we get to see what happens next with these such really good characters.. But with any good news there's bad news and the bad news is that Topher won't be back this season.

You can catch the season premiere of The Night Shift tonight at 10/9c on NBC.

Last Chance of Savior: The Night Shift "Trust Issues"/"Emergent"

"Trust Issues" 

With TC and Drew in ail, Brianna getting another heart and weird loves comes in different ways. It was one heartwarming, funny episode of The Night Shift.

As TC and Drew watch a game at a local bar, Drew accidental gets into it with a guy that he thought was hitting on his girl. TC steps in and finishes the job, leaving them in jail, while Brianna is about to have her new lung put it.

Everyone wonders where TC and Drew are at, especially Brianna who doesn't want to go until Drew get there. But Paul steps up and tells her how much they all care for her and he'll be with her through the surgery and even lied to her about him coming, but he makes it just as the new lungs are put in.


It could have been a touch and go, but she pulled through and with Drew, Rick and Syd there, Drew tells Brianna that they have a good chance of adopting her.

Meanwhile, TC goes through some self pity and deals with Jessica as she tries to apologies for her actions. But instead, he sees that Syd is putting flyers in the hospital about doing some volunteer work overseas and offers his services.

Love can be a defining word to describe this episode as not only Scott talks to Annie about his kiss with Jordan as well as Jordan had to bring her date to the ER and learning that he's in a four way relationship.

"Trust Issues" was a good episode and had some very good comedic moments from Jordan's date event some light heart moments of Paul telling Brianna that they all care and will be with her in surgery. All in all I give this episode a 7/10.

"Emergent"

As news of the hospital rocks the staff, a fire spreads through San Antonio forest and TC puts everyone on the line with deadly illness.

As a fire breaks out in San Antonio, Paul and Shannon have difference of opinion on a patient that literally puts their relationship in jeopardy. The patient came out good.

Kenny and Topher tries to figure out who has been stealing pain meds from the drug lockup and the one suspect is Annie. Topher not only dealing with this and the hospital, he tries looking into staff's locker room. But after getting a call, things don't look good at all. But Paul tells Topher that his dad was coming to help, maybe be the buyer of the hospital.

Jordan and Scott head out in the field to help with the fire. They're on a rescue mission when someone is hurt and trapped. Jordan finds a bag of drugs in TC's jacket and doesn't tell Scott about it.

And if that wasn't enough to deal with, Drew gets word that Brianna's biological father wants to take his daughter back into his life.  Even though both Drew and Brianna thinks it stinks.

Meanwhile, TC puts everyone in jeopardy after allowing a group of unknown people come into camp and soon an outbreak of typhus is spread, including Syd. When a package of supplies comes, it lands on the other side of the fence and hell breaks loose.

This episode ends on a cliffhanger as Scott, Jordan and the fire rescuers are trapped in the fire and have to  take shelter in the fire tent until it passes. This was a very good episode and intense at times from Paul and Shannon's medical judgement to TC and Syd's situation and even at the end with Scott and Jordan in the last second of the episode with the fire. I think it might be safe to say that maybe Annie was the one who took the pills. Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

Terror at Home:The Night Shift "Unexpected"/"Between a Rock and a Hard Place"

"Unexpected"

When working in an ER, you expect the unexpected and this episode was one of those episodes. With a nurse's strike on the hospital, the staff tries to get it together while treating patients but when a bomb goes off everything is put to side and join together as one while unit to get through this ordeal.

"Unexpected" was not only written so good but the visual of the camera on capturing the emotional stake of the aftermath of the explosion. After that the performance from the cast was really good.

Jill Flint puts on another good performance as she finds out that she was the one that caused the bomber to bomb the hospital because she let her live and not die along with her family in a previous episode or time. Not knowing who she was til her name was heard, talking to the suspect and shockingly enough watching the suspect pull out her chest tube and dying.

Wallace Shawn makes an appearance as as Mr Neville, who brings so much humor in the episode making awkward moments for Paul and Shannon.

And Kenny had a very good storyline has he deals with trying to save his athlete in training, who got caught near the explosion but also finds out that she has a tumor in the her lung and also tells Kenny at the end of the episode that she really doesn't like soccer at all.

And with one last moment another shocking news comes to Topher and the hospital as the hospital is being sold to another company.

All in all, this was a very good episode. There were emotions left and right, humor in all the right spots and some really good performances from this ensemble cast. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

"Between a Rock and a Hard Place"

It's kind of what the title of this episode says.

When TC and Paul arrive at an accident site, they had to pronounced one dead brain but TC saves a teenager who was trapped in a sinkhole and saves him. Paul tries to get the mother's consent about donating her son's organs but after a first couple of times, she finally gives her consent. The lungs from the boy goes to helping Brianna.

Meanwhile, Scott gets a second chance to help a family that he ruined a while back, Malik comes back in the ER from missing his dialysis. The father would not want Scott to take care of his son turns out that he needed help as his aorta was about to burst. After saving malik's dad, Malik tells Scott that he forgives and tells his dad that he needs to move on.

Speaking of moving on, Scott and Jordan share a quick romantic moment that's mostly just the heat of the moment and moved on.

Topher gets word from Jessica that even though it looked like she was trying to help save the hospital but eventually she was working for the buyer who's buying the hospital. For which, not only upsets Topher but breaks up with TC after he found out too.

Even though Drew had such high hopes for the lungs transplant, but it wasn't a good solid match fo Brianna and offers her to stay with him and his husband after she gets out.

"Between a Rock and a Hard Place" was a good episode. The moments that shined were Jordan and Scott dealing with the angry father, Drew and Brianna's high hopes for the lung transplant and Paul and the kid's mother who donated the lungs to another person. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

Netflix Renews Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for Season 4

What?! What?! High Five all around!!

Looks like Kimmy and Titus has another reason to high five as Netflix ha announced on Tuesday that they're renewing Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for a fourth season.

Kimmy Schmidt stars Ellie Kemper as the naive survivor of a doomsday cult who moves to NEw York to start her life after 15 years stuck in an underground bunker. The supporting cast includes Tituss Burgess as Kimmy's aspiring actor roommate Titus, Jane Krakowsit as her filthy rich former employer Jacqueline and Carol Kane as her wacky landlord Lillian.

Season 3 of the hit show debuted on Netflix May 19th with all 13 episodes dropping. The series co created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. The show has also had some haven for celebrity guest starts. Just in Season 3 stars like on Hamm, Josh Charles, Ray Liotta, Maya Rudolph, Daveed Diggs and Laura Dern.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Goes to Church"/"Kimmy Pulls Off a Heist"

"Kimmy Goes to Church"

After feeling about leaving Perry the way she did, Kimmy decides to go to church with Titus.

"Kimmy Goes to Church" was another favorite episode of the season. It played well enough humor and awkwardly moments that I was well into the episode.

As Kimmy tries to learn about religion and goes to church along with Titus. There the two make a good first impression and Titus tries for the church choir as a sign of given back. There might been a problem when the church choir director's grandmother was eyeing Titus. Funny and awkward at times, you would think that she was trying to find a way to get rid of him but really was just trying something nice.

There were a lot of funny moments, there was the Lillian and Jacqueline "Pretty Woman" each other trying to try there own style of clothes. One of Jacqueline's old enemies returns in this episode and finally gets the best of her in the end.

Also when Jacqueline asked Lillian about who took her bag of clothing and Lillian thought it was Titus and Kimmy and described what they were going to do with them and then kiss like lovers.

This was just another hilarious episode. Kane and Krakowski were amazing once again. Even Kemper and Burgess as well. The writing was good too. Overall, I give this episode 8/10.

"Kimmy Pulls Off a Heist" 

Sometimes a certain bathroom is the place you want to use.

In "Kimmy Pulls Off a Heist" Titus needs to use the bathroom after a date and stops at a store where he has trouble with the new manager (played by Ray Liotta) as he has to buy something before using the bathroom. After that he begs Kimmy literally pulls a harmless heist so that Titus can use the bathroom.

At one point it got some hilarious just watching Kimmy getting addicted to the Chinese pixie sticks that she became Titus' hitch-man. The manager catches on. Liotta was hilarious during this episode. As much as you don't want to cross him, it was still funny. Even when he was trying not to turn around for Kimmy and catching Titus on the stop and had to go in the room and clean it up was another.

Jacqueline goes to the NFL owners meeting with her father-in-law and just when she thought she had them, Snyder got to her as he had his son arrested. But she will have the last laugh as she did get the team's name to change but not to what you would think. Let me just say it makes perfect sense to change them.

I enjoyed this episode a lot. This was another great Kimmy-Titus episode. Krakowski was once again at her best. And I love the last sense as it was like a late 80's early 90's sitcom. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 3 is available on Netflix now.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Learns about the Weather"/"Kimmy Does a Puzzle"

"Kimmy Learns about the Weather" 

As much as this episode was funny at times, some was actually a bit predictable too.

"Kimmy Learns about the Weather" had some very good humorist story plots from Kimmy trying to get the local weatherman to admit that Hurricane Tammi might be overly altered about on television. But mostly it was Titus as his feeling about the cruise is coming more and more in his dreams and also thanks to a bladder medication product stealing his voice and using it in their ads.

Near the end, Titus' feelings start to build up has he tells Kimmy about the cruise and describes it like a bladder and ends with a cliffhanger.

I mention that this episode was also predictable. That comes off of Lillian as she budded heads with Artie that ended up kissing one another. I had a feeling after their first meet that something like this was going to happen.

Overall, it was pretty good. There were some memorable moments, mostly from Kimmy and Titus from Kimmy telling the freaked out people that there wasn't the storm of the century coming to New York. OR when Titus' reaction towards the medication commercial after trying to get his boombox repaired and even talking to bladder from the television too. Scott Adsit as Dale, who impersonates Titus in the commercials, was funny. Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

"Kimmy Does a Puzzle"

With a storm coming and Titus needed to let it out, he finally does.

"Kimmy Does a Puzzle" was hilarious as times and enjoyable too as Titus finally tells Kimmy what happen on that ship and screams it out that he ate Dionne Warwick, but that wasn't the real truth.

Through the episode, Titus comes clean about eating Warwick but turns out that he was just seeing things. Kimmy tries to make her place like a bunker or funkier and be a more fun and enjoyable place while the storm pasts. But after Titus' story, she tells him that she had a line and if he's crossed it they can no longer be friend.

Kimmy tries to ask Titus once more and just lies again. Later on, as Kimmy tries get a game ready but missing it's pieces, they finally played with a puzzle but when it lost it's last piece it drives Kimmy mad. She figures out that Titus no only had that missing piece but also other pieces from the other board games and pushed over Kimmy's line and she walks out.

Lillian talks to Titus about the situation and soon figures that they need Kimmy (as we all need a Kimmy in our lives). Titus runs to Kimmy as she's at the Columbia campus staying with her teammates dorm. But Titus gets there and not only apologies and gives what Kimmy always wanted a high five and does a funny montage of it.

Overall, this was a very good episode that we see that Kimmy has a line that no one should cross it. There were memorable moments from Lillian telling Titus that Kimmy makes them a better person to even that high five montage.  Even Maya Rudolph was hilarious as Dionne Warwick from Titus' flashback to the benefit concert she was given for New Jersey. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Season 3 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is available on Netflix now.
