Chicago Fire: "Forgiveness, Relentless & Unconditional"
It's just one of those episodes that make you think: if this had happened, should I do have done this, or could I have done that? For Herrmann, he took it to heart.
When the Firehouse gets a house fire call, a father runs out while his kid is trapped there. Herrmann and Dawson went in, only she came out after it got too dangerous.
Herrmann, the only one in the building, finds the kid but is also trapped. He soon tries to save the kid from leaning out the window until the crew gets the ladder there.
As the kid was picked up and Herrmann saved, the end wasn't even near. The kid was in terrible shape, and from the looks of it, the father was worried, but Herrmann calmed him down and told him he would be all right. Little did Herrmann know that he'd see him again for a different reason.
The kid wasn't looking too good throughout the episode. Until there was a video of a father smoking meth and blowing it in front of his kid, this is the same father that had the fire and the same kid that Herrmann rescued. That pissed off Herrmann.
After searching for him, Herrmann got the info but didn't tell Casey or anyone. He decided to go all Rambo and give that dad a piece of his mind. Well, that's until Casey stopped him and had the Chaplain speak with him.
After speaking with him, the kid didn't make it at all. It was too risky, and he was in terrible shape. We see Herrmann and his family at the Church service, and as the chaplain spoke, he hugged and kissed his kids.
This was an excellent episode. It showed how Herrmann's character as he's a simple family man. Whether he could have done something different, he probably couldn't if it was done all over again. He did what he had to do, and it didn't come out how he wanted it.
Besides this story, I enjoyed the break up of Britt and Cruz. Britt wanted to break up with him until he broke up with her. It was a shocking turn of events for Britt, but she did get what she wanted.
You can catch Chicago Fire on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC!
Undateable: "Japanese Businessman Walks into a Bar"
It was last summer's number-one hit comedy. Now Undateable is back with a new cast member.
It's a series about those who have difficulty finding a relationship; I'm really into this series from the beginning. Each character brings a different type of personality that somehow can't get a date with anyone or who's having a hard time.
In the season premiere, Justin still thinks he and Nicki are still in a relationship even though she is away and they only Skype each other. Danny and the gang try to convince him it's a dead relationship.
Soon, Justin asked a lady out for a one-night stand but soon turned it into a relationship, which Justin didn't want to. But when he gets back to realizing and asks Nicki about their relationship, it's over.
Throughout the episode, one-line jokes came from left and right. I enjoy how new cast member fits in with the gang. Bridgit Mendler is an excellent addition to the cast and the show.
I can't wait to see where this series will go and what challenges they will face in the dating world because, like me, I'm not good at dating at all.
You can catch Undateable on Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC!
One Big Happy: "Pilot"
I love friend-family comedy. I enjoy watching two best friends tackle the world no matter what happens, and when watching One Big Happy, I get not only funny but also heart as well.
When two best friends, one gay and the other straight, decide to have a baby, but when her best friend falls in love with a woman, they're married, and well, his best friend is pregnant.
Someone mentioned that this show is like Will & Grace meets Three's Company, which felt just like that when I watched the pilot.
I enjoy the character of Lizzy, who's gay, in this series. She's hilarious and has some issues that I felt that are real.
There's a lot of good comic humor in this series. I can't wait for the next episode to see where this series will go.
You can catch One Big Happy Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30 on NBC.
The Blacklist: "Tom Keen"
This season of The Blacklist has been executing excellent episodes. This week's episode is certainly one of its best.
Liz was on trial for the murder of a fellow officer when Tom Keen killed him. The Judge wants to know why she can't speak of this case in the court of law. The only person who can save Liz now is the man who is out of the country and is her Ex-husband.
Red and Ruzek go and find Tom in Germany, his undercover op. When Red makes a splashing appearance and tells Tom that he needs to return to help save Liz. At first, he doesn't, but later on, he does come and speaks with the Judge.
The judge doesn't want to give this case up until the Assistant Attorney General steps in and tells the judge that he's entirely out of line and to drop the case or he'll face something terrible. He does but tells Liz and the court that he doesn't like what the federal government is hiding and that Liz should take a look every day and think about the former officer and his family.
As soon as Liz is released, she watches the officer's daughter and decides to send money as a trust fund to her. Red pops in and tells her such an exciting conversation that makes you go wow!
Also, in this episode, Cooper had a seizure, but it's not from the cancer at all. The other thing to add is that Liz knows of his condition.
One more thing: I don't think that this is the last that we see of Tom Keen.
This upcoming week's episode looks like another hit. Tell your friends and family members that this series doesn't mess around, unlike other shows.
You can watch The Blacklist Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.
