Imperfect Women (S1, Ep. 1-2) "Eleanor"/"Crush" Series Premiere

​In Apple TV’s thriller, a brutal murder unravels a lifelong bond among three friends, exposing secrets of infidelity and obsession. Here's my recap of episodes 1-2 of Imperfect Women.

Scarpetta Season 1

 

Returning to a crime scene is risky for medical examiners and streaming services. Prime Video revived crime icon Scarpetta this month, starring Nicole Kidman as the forensic expert. The series merges 1990s noir with modern tech-thrills. Here's my recap and review of season one.

The Pitt (S2, Ep. 11) "5:00PM"

In the emergency room, time is usually the enemy, but during The Pitt's devastating hour, the threat was tactical. '5:00 P.M.' shifted from medical mysteries to sociopolitical trauma, shattering hospital sanctuary. From federal interventions to oversights, this series was unflinching. Here is my recap and review.

Marshals (S1, Ep. 3) "Road to Nowhere"

 

In Montana, a badge is often just a silver target. As Kayce navigates between his family’s ranch and the Broken Rock Reservation, a new enemy emerges, showing that the 'Road to Nowhere' is paved with Dutton blood. Here's my recap and review.

CIA (S1, Ep. 4) "Forced Labor"

In high-stakes espionage, leads chase satellites and codes, but this week, the CIA shifted focus to combat a human trafficking ring, showing that the greatest enemies aren't always state actors but those preying on the vulnerable. Here’s my review of 'Forced Labor.'

St. Denis Medical (S2, Ep. 14-15) "Happy Birthday, Matty"/"Everybody Loves Portland General"

The St. Denis staff make birthdays unforgettable, turning patient intake into lively events. This week, we moved from ER halls to the vibrant 'Laser Lounge' to celebrate Portland General's excellence. Despite challenges, the team remains dedicated and fun-loving. Here's my recap of 'Happy Birthday, Matty' and 'Everyone Loves Portland General.'

FBI (S8, Ep. 14) "Forgiven"

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.

A Perfect St. Patrick’s Day Binge – Finally Watching Derry Girls

Looking for something to watch this St. Patrick’s Day? I finally hit play this month on Derry Girls and let’s just say I’ve never been happier to be late to the party.

The Pitt (S2, Ep. 10) "4:00 P.M."

 

The Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center (PTMC) hits a literal and metaphorical breaking point. Following the previous hour’s cliffhanger, the ER is flooded with victims from a catastrophic waterslide collapse, forcing the staff to juggle gruesome triage with their own unraveling personal lives. Here's a recap and review. 

One Chicago Recap: Chicago Med "Twist & Shout"/ Chicago Fire "Hit & Run"/ Chicago P.D. "Meant to Be"

 

This week on One Chicago, we're treated to exciting new relationships, heartfelt farewells, twists of revenge, and so much more. Here's a warm recap and review of this week's episodes. 

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.

Ghosts (S5, Ep. 13) "St. Hetty's Day 2: The Help"

St. Patrick's Day at Woodstone means Hetty gets her yearly 24 hours as a real person. She hoped for a romantic date, but instead, she discovered something totally new for a Gilded Age socialite: hard work. Here's my recap and review.

CIA (S1, Ep. 3) "Bridge of Lies"

 

CIA is a covert-ops procedural following a New York CIA station under constant threat, where alliances shift as quickly as secrets do. This week's episode finally pushes Deputy Chief of Station Nikki Reynard out from behind her desk and into the line of fire. It’s a high-stakes hour that proves the boss is just as lethal as her agents. Here's my recap and review. 

FBI (S8, Ep. 13) "Fanatics"

 

A packed stadium, alive with the vibrating thunder of basketball fans, goes eerily silent as the jumbotron flickers not with highlight reels but a desperate plea for help. In one chilling instant, the roar of the crowd turns to stunned panic, and the stakes for both the hostages and the FBI reach new heights. 

This week, FBI trades the streets for the stadium in an episode that tackles the dark side of loyalty and the weight of past mistakes. While "Fanatics" hits the familiar beats of a high-stakes hostage crisis, it offers a deep dive into Jubal's psyche that anchors the adrenaline. Here's my recap and review. 

The Niece from Hell: DMV (S1, Ep. 12) "The Fourth Wheel"

 

In the latest chapter of the East Hollywood DMV story, the team discovers that "family hires" are often not the best idea. This week, we encounter a saboteur and a relationship that Noa finds hard to understand. Here's a recap and review.

The Pitt (S2, Ep. 9) "3:00pm"

 

The Pitt trades silicon for scribbles in its ninth episode of Season 2, and the result is a pulse-pounding hour of analog anxiety. With the hospital still crippled by a ransomware cyberattack, the staff at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center is forced to ditch their digital systems and go fully analog.

That means ditching every digital crutch at once, pitching the ER into confusion even before anyone has time to grab a clipboard. The logistics bleed in around the edges, scribbled charts, jammed fax machines, as the chaos builds fast. Here's my recap and review. 

Ghosts (S5, Ep. 12) "The List"

A cloud of white powder erupts from an antique box. Sam and Jay freeze in horror as a reviewer watches their dream of a luxury B&B go up in smoke. Before the episode title appears, chaos at Woodstone is clear: it’s a clash between high-class recognition and an old, illegal stash.

This week, Sam and Jay reach for prestige, but ghosts haunted by old grudges emerge. In "The List," a quest for luxury hotel certification nearly spirals out of control. Here's a recap and some thoughts.

One Chicago Crossover: "Reckoning"

 

What would you do if, mid-flight, your airplane fell silent and vanished over Lake Michigan—only for rescuers to discover nearly everyone on board dead, the cause a terrifying mystery? That haunting image is just the first shock to the system in this year’s One Chicago crossover event, "Reckoning." Every so often the Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D. universe pulls out a big crossover, but this three-hour spectacle sets its sights higher than most.

The event kicked off with a chilling mystery in the air, moved into a full-blown medical crisis, and ended with a manhunt tied to a tragedy from decades ago. By the end of the night, the stakes felt bigger than they had in a while for the One Chicago franchise. Here's my recap and review. 

CIA (S1, Ep. 2) "Fatal Defect"

CIA’s second episode, “Fatal Defect,” shifts from spectacle to psychological stakes, delivering strong character drama. The series hits its best when focusing on core relationships rather than gadgets and chases. After a flashy pilot, the slower pace in this episode works well, trading spectacle for tension, and using a grounded espionage case to test Glass and Goodman’s fragile partnership.

The result? A slightly predictable case… but a very intriguing character twist. Here's a quick recap before I break down why this episode stands out.
