This Is Us "A Manny-Splendored Thing"

This week's episode of This Is Us was not a disappointment episode.

"A Manny-Splendored Thing" such a good episode that it not only brought the laughter and tears but a lot of George Clooney and ER references as well (which I really like).

Kevin comes back to do a special episode of The Manny and Sophia tries to get him through the diffecult part of being back at the scene of the crime where he brust off the set last time. There were a lot of George Clooney ER references that I really enjoyed and watching how these from the past and present was just heartwarming and funny.

Randall is having a hard time dealing with the adpotion papers and the one thing he's worried about it that could they take care of a kid that has problems that they haven't dealt with. After a brief break, Beth talks to Kevin about the issue and learned that Randall was given pick up lines from Kevin when they first met and Beth tells Kevin that she thinks he's funny, even though she never thought so. But her and Randall settle their issues and moved forward to the adoption.

Kate and Toby is having Rebecca and Migual over before Kevin's taping and Kate is nervous to death of her coming over. We see the reason why Kate acts different to her mother and it shows when Kate catches her mom in the shower singing better than her and realizes that Rebecca has been over confident.

The performance from Kate singing "Landslide" and showing a montage of Jack boxing in the gym as he tries to quit his drinking problem and other scenes was amazing and overwhelming at times.

Not to mention the scene with Kate telling her mother after her performance what she truly feels about why she didn't want her at her performances. It was just a stiller scene from Metz and Moore.

And not to mention we Jack battling his drinking addiction and see why he's been drawn to drinking with the job he has. But we also see how he first attemps to stop drinking, by boxing his pain away and talking to Kate as she's his rock. But when the second time around, Jack tells Rebecca that he can't do it like he did last time and she takes him to am AA meeting.

Overall, I enjoyed this episode a lot. The perfomance between Metz, Moore, Milo and even Susan Kelechi Watson was flatout amazing. The writing was so good and powerful at times in some scenes that I laugh and cried at times. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch This Is Us Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.

Code Word: Pumpkin! The Blacklist "Greyson Blaise" (No. 37)

The fun contuines this week on The Blacklist.

"Greyson Blaise" was just a fun and adventurious with a thrilling ending no doubt. The writing of this episode was so good with such memorable scenes and performances.

Red, Liz and the team pursue a billionaire, Greyson Blaise, who steals high price art and jewerly at night. In order to get to him, Red must meet and establish a partnership with one another. Red pulls Greyson in when he tells him that he has a famous painting that has been gone for nearly 30 years in his home in Itay.

But the catch is that Red doesn't have the painting or home in Itay so the team must rent a place and get the painting from who Red gave it too 30 years ago. But the painting was sold a while ago, so Red gets an old friend to recreate the paitning and delever it to the home.

You would think with the painting wouldn't get there that everything would fail into place, but it doesn't and when the painting shows up Red corrects Greyson that he doesn't have it but he does as in he is given the paitning to him. But here's where the catch comes in, Red calls the italian inspector and tells him that someone has taken his paitning and arrested Greyson.

While Greyson is arrested, Red and Liz head to Greyson's home and get his staff to check and throw away papers, hard drives and everything that Greyson owns. But Red and Liz leaves with a flashdrive, a penny and jewerly and brings them to Harold so they could arrest Greyson and bring him to the U.S.

Meantime, Tom searches for help on the bones in the suitcase. He goes to Nick for help to who the bones are and even though he didn't say yes at first at the end he does. Also he finds a man named Albert and when he gets his address, he sees him tied up in a chair bloodly beaten. Tom hears someone and hides in the closet and see Red and Dembe in the room. Red asked Albert about the suitcase but doesn't give a good answer and kills him. As soon as Red leaves, Tom ask Albert about the suitcase and meantions one name or word "Oleander."

At the end, we see Tom and Liz about to have dinner and Red comes in, who happens to be invited but has to go. Things get very intense between Tom and Red after Tom asked him about what has he been up to and left it at that.

This was such a good episode that as I said before was fun, adventurious and thrilling. There were a lot of memorable moments from Harold telling Liz about how to talk to Red (like a teenager), Dembe trying to get someone to talk by cooking him a meal, Liz's question about Red's outfit color it looks like pumpkin but it's Tuscan Sunset. Even the scene with Tom trying to get Albert's address was funny and mostly it was the dude who worked at the store. But the scene with Red and Liz going to Greyson home and telling the staff to do this and that was just hilarious. I could go on and on but I think I'll leave it there.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Never Give Up on a Friend: Chicago PD "The Thing About Heroes"

This week's episode of Chicago PD was as solid of an episode as they could have been for the second episode of the season.

When a van parks in a no parking area of a festival in Chicago, it explodes. The FBI and the Intellgence Unit works together to find who is behind the bombing and where the next bomb is set to go off.

When the team knows who's behind it and what country they are from, Burgess thinks that her friend and an CPD officer would help because of his background. That would be nice until they find out that he has been gone without a trace since the bombing and that doesn't look good for him at all.

The CPD points the blame to the officer and Burgess is the only person who believes that he didn't do it. And proves she did when she found out a place he was renting and keeping a notebook full of notes and photos like he was actually undercover being a part of a terrorist group. Sadly the officer was stresssed from not only the media that the CPD laid on him but the bullying as well he was suffering from his partner and captain, he takes his life and shoots himself in the head in front of Burgess.

But that notebook helped stop the second bombing in the end. But not it didn't end for Burgess who told the officer's parents how a hero he was. But it was confronting the officer's partner that really was a scene to see as she told the guy what she thinks and that his daddy won't be around to have his back. It did cause some riffs in the CPD that Hank had to tell her to let it be.

Hank did confront Woods about the CPD should give full honors to the officer but Woods doesn't think so at all. The two had a nice chat and Woods is amazed how Hank has been dealing with all of this and he tells him that it takes time to make a move and I'm sure we will be waiting when that happens.

"The Thing About Heroes" was really a good episode and mostly from the performance from Marina Squerciati that really stood out through the episode. The writing was so good and at times simple to follow but the twist that the officer was working undercover was a wow moment. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Chicago PD Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Chicago PD "Reform" Season Premiere

The season premiere of Chicago PD was not your typical season premiere that we have seen in the past four seasons, but it does make a stamp that a new chapter for the series has begun.

The episode opened up to a very well-respected look back at Erin Lindsay's time on the show from the beginning to the end of last season. With only the two men in her life, Hank and Jay, it was at times emotional, no matter how many times you would watch it.

The episode begins with Hank talking about how the absence of Erin will be a mess, and it will not be the same. I feel that he was not only talking to her about it but to us, the audience, as well, and just trying to get through some of those thoughts is just so confronting.

When Hank gets a call about a gun exchange going down, the team assembles and tries to take them down, but it doesn't go as they had hoped. But when Halstead was chasing the suspects, he heard someone screaming and went in to find Upton with a girl who got shot.

They take the girl to Med only to get a small hope for her to recover, but it turns out she didn't, and the worst part is that the bullet came from Halstead's gun. With that, not only the media and the community but also Alderman Ray Price (Wendell Pierce ) is pushing hard to get Halstead fired, and even the new reform package set for the CPD isn't helping at all, either.

Hank and the team searched for the one suspect who could help clear Halstead from this, and the only clue to allow them to find him was to see if the suspect had a wound on his stomach. It took a while for the team to find him, and some very uncomfortable scenes, including Ruzek and Atwater trying to ask two kids a couple of questions.

The team gets help from a former squad member, Antiono Dawson, and does undercover work. He soon gets the suspect, turns him in, and gets Halstead out of the hateful media that Price has done. And even though Halstead was clear, he still apologized to the mother and gave her her daughter's necklace.

Meanwhile, Burgess is back, and she's got a new man in her life. Ezek found out the hard way as he was trying to not only buy her another beer but ask her out again.

Antiono is officially back with CPD after being at the State's Attorney's office got boring. Yeah, we could say that.

As I said at the beginning, this episode seemed like the beginning of a new chapter for the series. Erin is gone, and things are changing for the intelligence unit, just as Hank told Jay that she's gone and we need to move on.

I very much enjoyed this episode a lot. Not only the performances from Beghe and Stoffer were terrific, but also Mykelti Williamson and Wendell Pierce as well. The writing was so good as well. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago PD on Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Future to Come: The Blacklist "Smokey Putnum (No. 30)" Season Premiere

The Blacklist is back and it feels so good and after watching this episode you'll not only feel like your having fun but something to look forward to in the season to come with a shocking moment.

"Smokey Putnum" was probably one of the funniest and enjoyable season premiere episode since the season premiere of season two. As Red's empire is gone thanks to Mr. Kaplan's doing, Red is making ends meat by stealing cars to pay for the rent at a hotel. He doesn't really show that he's emotional hurt but enjoying it until the FBI needs a new Blacklister for the new director of the FBI.

With that in mind, Red and Liz go on this fun and hilarious trip as bounty hunters to find Smokey Putnum, who happens to own money he stole. As soon as they pick him up, they run into neo Nazi gang and take him away from Red and Liz. Unfortunately, they would get Smokey back in return but after a couple of runway attempts, Smokey goes to his court hearing.and Red gets his money.

Now that being said, it wouldn't be The Blacklist without some twist and turns and in this case a couple makes it even more memorable. For Red, you would think that from what Liz believes that he was scared after losing his empire that was totally out of the question. After Somkey goes to court, Red not only bails out Smokey but bails out the plaintiff too and gets them to work for him.

Meanwhile, with Red and Liz almost having all the fun, Ressler was having a bit of fun too. After the events in the season finale, knocking down Nationa Secutiry Advisor Hitchen and getting Henry Prescott to help clean it up. Cooper gets word about Hitchen and Ressler and Samar go to investigate it. But Ressler gets a bit nervous throughout until things were clear that it turned out to be an accident. But that didn't lead Ressler to breathe with a side of relief because Prescott found out who Ressler were was and not who he said he was and going to be doing some favors for a while. Welcome to the dark side Ressler!!

The other twist and turn comes near the end when Liz comes home and sees Tom is back. They both had somethng to tell one another. When Liz goes first to tell Tom that Red is her father, he back away and moved the suitcase that Mr. Kaplan had him pick up. After that he just tells Liz that he loves her and won't be going anywhere but we see a flashback of Red and Dembe charging into Liz's apartment with guns and a bloodly Tom is on the floor and we see Red shooting. What the hell?!! Just as soon as Tom comes back we see a future event yet to come that could end his fate?

This episode was amazing, funny, and so enjoyable. After a couple of seasons of dark events, this was so nicely light in tone. The performance between Spader and Boone was hilarious in one way and another was just breathtaking in another. They really have a great chemistry. Not to mention in this episode that Aram and Samar are now an item and it looks like it won't be an issue for Cooper. I did enjoy watching Ressler going itno the dark side. Welcome to Liz and Red's world my friend. I can't wait to see where this season will go. It's gong to be a blast.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Blacklist Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Chicago PD Season 4

With less than 12 hours until Chicago PD's big season premiere, here's a recap of season four.

Season 4 begins with the investigation of a missing suspect that murdered Hank's son. Things got dicey to the point where we thought Hank would be done. That was until they went to Hank's spot, where he takes terrible guys to get them to confess and dig to find the body. We know that he had killed the guy, but by the time the whole CPD was digging the place up, there was nobody at all. That might have been the little help from Erin, and after that, it gave one of the best moments between Hank and Erin.

There were a lot of significant cases that really took the characters and show to new heights. The one that really stood out was the four-show crossover between Fire, Med PD, and the newly canceled Justice. That was basically a damn blockbuster movie, to say the less. That blew me away, and I had a hard time processing what was happening because it was so emotionally good.

Antonio left CPD to join Justice, but when season five begins, expect him to return home—but to a very different home.

The relationship between Erin and Jay was taking a new turn, even with one another living together at her place. Just when you thought things were going well for them, a shocking surprise comes along with a blast from Jay's past: his wife, who happens to not have signed the divorce papers.

But near the end of the season, Erin goes a bit too far, farther than what Hank would have done. When a child goes missing and has the only suspect in questioning, she takes to her own power and tries to get him to confess but uses force with her gun, and that doesn't end well at all. The heads of the CPD had to decide about Erin's future, but an opportunity arose when Bunny, Erin's mother, got caught in a federal crime. The FBI from New York offers Erin a job in exchange for her mother not going to jail, for which she takes and doesn't call or answer anyone near the end of the season finale, not even Jay.

With Season 5 coming, there's new air in this season. Tracy Spiridakos has now become a regular cast member on the show as Det. Hailey Upton was a guest in the last few episodes of season four. Also, a new showrunner has taken the show to a new level by telling stories about what real CPD is going through these days.

I'm looking forward to what Season Five will bring this season. I want to see how they tie Erin's story and how Jay will handle it. That was a total shock when Sophia Bush announced she won't be back for season 5, and yet she told Seth Meyers that she was thrilled about the show getting renewed, and Seth was happy that she would stay on the network as well. But the writings were on the wall in the last couple of episodes of season 4.

The new season of Chicago PD begins tonight at 10/9c on NBC.
