CBS has become the first Broadcast network to announce its fall schedule, and they've made some changes. 

FBI (S8, Ep. 17) "Shahadah"

 

This week’s FBI episode showed some investigations need more than a badge—they need a soul. 'Shahadah' diverged from typical procedures to explore religious devotion and criminal responsibility. Focusing on OA’s faith during a brutal homicide, it became the most introspective episode of the season. Here's my recap and review.

DMV (S1, Ep. 16) "Fresh Ink"

 

This week’s South Hollywood DMV episode showed that sometimes no press is better than bad press.

Though the stakes were minor, the comedy highlighted why this crew is the most dysfunctional branch in the state. Here's my recap and review.

Marshals (S1, Ep. 7) "Family Business"

From biker rally chaos to Broken Rock Reservation's silence, 'Out of the Shadows' was a reckoning. Here's my recap and review.

Ghosts (S5, Ep. 14) "The Water Heater"

At Woodstone Mansion, the line between an 'amenity' and an 'ancestor' is thin. Ghosts turned a plumbing crisis into a political thriller as basement dwellers fought to save their gurgling appliance. From Isaac’s campaign for relevancy to an interdimensional breakup, 'The Water Heater' shows that whether alive or dead, the most dangerous is making unkeepable promises. Here's my recap and review.

Marshals (S1, Ep. 5) "Lost Girls"

This week, Marshals moved beyond their usual federal procedures to focus more deeply on the heartbreaking crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, especially following Monica Dutton’s passing.

Here's my thoughtful recap and review of 'Lost Girls.'

This week’s DMV episode asked if Vic can take enough responsibility to own a dog. Despite being a lost cause to society, he has great 'parents' in Colette and Gregg. Here's my recap and review.

Marshals (S1, Ep. 4) "The Gather Storm"

In Montana's high country, weather shifts suddenly, but this week, the political climate almost proved fatal for Kayce Dutton. Haunted by Yellowstone ghosts, 'The Gathering Storm' forced Marshals to choose between loyalty and 'frontier justice.' Here's my recap of an intense hour that began unpacking the team’s heaviest issues baggage.

CIA (S1, Ep. 5) "Deep Cover"

 

In international espionage, a partner you can’t trust is more dangerous than a ticking bomb. This week, CIA heightened tension as Colin Glass and Bill Goodman faced a ruthless sleeper cell. But after the battle, a personal betrayal emerged in the shadows. Here's my recap and review of 'Deep Cover.'

FBI (S8, Ep 15) "Crusader"

 

Reaching 150 episodes is a feat for any procedural, but FBI skipped celebration for a dark opioid crisis story. In a personal hour, we learned about Agent Eva Ramos, who was burdened with a grudge that nearly ended her career. Here's my recap of 'Crusader.'

They say the first arrest is unforgettable, but for Maggie Bell, it threatens her family. In an hour that exposes her raw emotions, FBI delivers a blow that fans will remember long after. Here's my recap and review.

DMV (S1, Ep. 13) "Test Drive"

Does the world really need another Vic? That is the existential question at the heart of this week's episode. From teaching apathetic teens the "rules of the road" to a Hollywood-style marketing makeover, the East Hollywood branch was anything but boring. Here's my recap and review.

Marshals (S1, Ep. 2) "Zone of Death"

 

As Kayce officially pins on the star. In the second episode of the new spinoff, "Zone of Death," the show wastes no time leaning into the franchise’s dark mythology, taking Kayce back to a location fans know all too well. Here’s a recap and review.
