Dating with Food: Kevin Can Wait "Wingman"/"The Whole Enchilada"

Image result for Kevin Can Wait Wingman

"Wingman"

With Kyle bragging about using a new dating app, it sparks Vanessa and Kevin to use it as well to find their perfect match.

When Vanessa and Kevin learn of a new dating app "Be My Wingman" that Kyle has been using, and agree to help each other out finding someone that's perfect for one another. But at first they weren't into the app and tried being each other wingman at the bar, but that failed after meeting weird people. So they turn to Kyle for help using the app and soon they find someone for each other.

When Kevin and Vanessa double date with their perfect match, it goes well for Kevin but not well for Vanessa as Kevin chosen a guy that's quite like Kevin. When Vanessa tells Kevin that she doesn't like him, he tries to change his look and makes him look a lot better and gives Vanessa to go for a second chance date. But when things turn to be so good, both Vanessa and Kevin's dates leaves them and goes out with one another.

"Wingman" was a good average episode that had some funny moments. Even if they aren't trying to get Vanessa and Kevin to grow more in their relationship, they still put them in situations like this episode that makes you think that they could be the perfect match for one another. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

"The Whole Enchilada" 

Maybe the proof is in the food, unless Kevin can see it or not.

When it comes to reading signs, Kevin isn't the smartest in the department when his neighbor Wendy comes by with food, enchilada, that's one of the best. But when Wendy ask where this relationship is going, even though there wasn't, Kevin tries to explain but agrees to go out with her to the movies.

Kevin tells Vanessa about it and she thinks he needs to dump her but when tasting Wendy's enchilada, she agrees that Kevin is screwed. But when she helps him to dump Wendy and cook for him, it's not the same and Kevin goes through depression and tries to win Wendy back, for which he did.

"The Whole Enchilada" was a way better episode than the previous one that brings the classic elements to this show: Kevin, food and relationships. It may not be the smartest episode but it was sure the funniest with James, Spreitler, Remini and Florencia Lozano as Wendy. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Kevin Can Wait Mondays at 8/7c on CBS.

A Night with Stars: Timeless "Hollywoodland"

Image result for Timeless hollywoodland



With the moment that we all been waiting for comes with a twist at the end that maybe no one could see coming.

 With no Emma in this episode, the Time Team tracks the Mothership to the 1941 where Rittenhouse tries to steal the work-print of the movie Citizen Kane and trying to sell it to William Randolph Hearst (who's the film is based on). Lucy, Wyatt and Rufus bumps into Hedy Lamarr, who doesn't taken as a fool and figures out that they aren't really who they are, but helps the team search for the man, who's taken the secret films.

In the meantime, Jiya, gets examined for her condition that Agent Christopher has only found out and comes to the concussion that she's fine and even better that her heart murmur is fixed. Which kind of leads to Mason dealing with something new then what they had dealt in the past. Lucy and Christopher tries to get Flynn to help again, but if they want him to help he needs to get out before Rittenhouse kills him in prison. After given a tip, Christoper helps him with a breakout that Time Team sets up in his own prison cell 50 years later.

But with the hunt for the secret films, Wyatt and Lucy share the moment that we've all been waiting for as they kiss and slept together. The two seem to be the item now in the relationship, but a twist comes at the end of the episode that really would take the fans in shock as Wyatt escapes the compound to see someone at a local tavern, where he walks up to Jessica, his wife who's alive and well.

"Hollywoodland" was an action-less episode that still delivered a story that it worthy of watching that had a lot of fun, educational and dramatic moments. From learning of what Lamarr did for WiFi and to even what Citizen Kane as about (check that film out!). There were many memorable moments from Lucy singing in front of a crowd while looking at Wyatt to Lamarr and Rufus discussing her scientific ideas foe the future. I'd very much enjoyed this episode. The performances from the cast from Spencer, Lanter, Goran and even Claudia Doumit as Jiya.

Does anyone think that the kiss from Wyatt and Lucy might have changed history to make Jessica like she had never died? With Jiya's seizures not seem to be life threatening now, would that make it to help them in advice against Rittenhouse? And how crazy would it have been if Jurassic Park was made back in the 1940's?

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Timeless returning in two weeks from Sunday at 10/9c on NBC.

Driving and Finishing: Timeless "The Darlington 500"

Image result for timeless the darlington 500

Nothing like driving in the fast line back in the 1950's to get your blood pumping right?

This week's episode takes our #TimeTeam to Sept. 4, 1955 where the Mothership is Darlington, South Carolina, thanks to Flynn's tip-off about a Rittenhouse-affiliated address. That's where they make the discover that Rittenhouse is after a NASCAR race driver Ryan Millerson, who is to race at the Darlington 500.

But at the track, they realize that Millerson is one of the sleeper agents for Rittenhouse and just before getting into trouble again with Emma, black race car driver Wendell Scott saves them from being killed. The team finds a bomb in Millerson's car and learn that it's intended to murder the automotive executives that are attendance, so that Rittenhouse could take over the auto industry.

But when they get Wendell to sneak them back into the track to stop Rittenhouse, Wyatt kills Millerson, not before the bomb is armed and drives the car with cops on their tails back to Wendell's garage. With the cops passing by, Rufus defuses the bomb.

Meanwhile, back in the present, Mason makes a bold move of making a public appearance that's against Agent Christopher's orders. She comes in just before he goes on and makes a sense of his arrest and takes him back to the compound. Along with that Jiya as been seen visions of what the future may be looking as she saw Rufus's arm looking burned, but when he gets back from 1955 his arm was burned.  But Keynes reveals his vision to make a perfect humanity by cutting away the flaws.

"The Darlington 500" was an amazing storytelling episode of not only what NASCAR was back in the day but what it's like for a fan, like Wyatt. You really see Wyatt's character light up with excitement as a fan would when meeting their heroes. I couldn't get enough o Wendell Scott in this episode but also learning about him as well.  It still give that thrill and intense with the car chase, the surprises of Millerson being a sleeper agent and what's to come next that really give this show something to look forward. The writing was good and the performance was strong. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

The Shot of Life's Advice: Chicago Fire "The F is For"

Image result for Chicago Fire The F Is For

After a month off and leaving with us with a thrilling cliffhanger, Chicago Fire is back will Severide and Casey make it? Here's a recap!

Picking up where we left off, Casey and Severide jumping off the roof of a building from high pressure explosion, we see them landing in the river and the rest of the 51 team move to the back to find them. With Casey awake and rescue, Severide was knocked out and floating down stream but Kidd and the team makes the rescue and after a few seconds of trying to wake him up, he finally comes too.

After the dramatic rescue, the CFD were just eating up the publicity that the House 51 team has gotten with the shots from the photographer, who happened to be there to capture it all. The CFD wants the newspaper, Sun-Times, to do a day in the life at the firehouse thing and brings in the same guy. Things go well but after a run from Brett and Dawson, who happens to be a mess from the call decides to take a shower, the photographer gets caught by Casey of trying to take photos of Dawson in the shower.

It doesn't quite end, when Casey and Dawson get a call of a car accident and the photographer is still there. Well, let's just say payback was coming for him and it did when a car hits him.

Meanwhile, Herrmann gets into the life coach game and gets it over his head that life is like a fire that you can move ahead head on or run away from it. Maybe it would be all the best if he keeps his advice to when they count the most instead of cashing it in. Brett has been getting emails from Holly and when she doesn't responded to them, Holly is trashing her on Facebook. But after helping one of their homeless friends get his home back, Brett gets the urge to respond to Holly's emails.

Kidd and Severide's relationship has been slowly building in a way that you would think that one of them would speak about, but no. Kidd begins to search for a new apartment, but when she starts talking about Severide during her dinner date with her boyfriend, but it ends with Severide coming over to Casey and Dawson to watch the Blackhawks game. Not to mention looking at what they have and probably thinking that he wants that with Kidd.

"The F is For" is a very good episode that had so many good character developed from Brett finding her anger after helping the homeless man and using it towards Holly to Kidd and Severide's relationship as one is to end the other is thinking of thinking of having a relationship. The writing was good along with the cast performance too. The humor was always there with Herrmann in this story with his life coach advice making fire the inspiration for life, if that was so I would be running away for the rest of my life. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire Thursdays at 10/9c on NBC.

To Sell or Not: A.P. Bio "Selling Out"

Image result for A.P. Bio Selling Out



As Jack's book is done, will it get the attention from book companies or will he have to change his whole idea?

Just as Jack is done with his book about death, he gets a call from Miles and offered to ship his book idea to his publishers. But when Jack gets letters from the publishers, they don't like it and makes a call to Miles to plea his case but when Miles says that they liked his idea for a book about feel-good philosophy and the money Jack was in.

As Jack comes with ideas that would make people feel good, he gets his inspiration from Helen and gets her to tell all of her wise advise from "If you can come out of the womb, you can get out of anything" to "high fives and low fives are better than no fives" and "if you step on a berry, you just made jam." But when his students take a look at it they feel that Jack is a sell out to what he believes.

As Jack gives his idea to the publishers, things don't go that well and tells them that his first book idea was better than the feel good junk. So no book deal at all but the students read his first book and gave well reviews to him and started discussing about the book.

Meanwhile, Principle Durbin accidentally gets caught into a firestorm when confronting about who is Mary's Emergency Contact is and it gets heated for Stef and Mary.

"Selling Out" was a good episode from Jack's book story but the emergency contact was good but it wasn't as strong. The performance from Paula Pell was outstanding in this episode as Helen. Not to mention Glenn Howerton's performance as well and the development of the character was good. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch A.P. Bio Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Stand By Their Partners Chicago PD "Ghosts"

Image result for chicago pd ghosts

When a drug deal goes wrong, a blast from the past comes to one of the Intelligence Unit member.

When a drug deal goes wrong, Upton sees someone that she had worked with before, who happens to be working with one of the biggest case before joining the Unit. She decides to take on and bring her undercover character, Kelly, back from hiding and try to make a deal with the top drug boss, Booth, but it gets pretty intense when Booth questions her and Halstead to make sure they aren't lying.

We learn the reason why she left the case when Halstead confronts her about it with photos of her beat up from Booth. She wants to take him down no matter if Voight told them to shut it down or not and does and goes on with the plan. As the plan comes together, Booth takes advantage on Upton in front of Halstead but things get dicey when Booth's nephew sees Halstead about to grab something. Upton breaks away from Booth and chases after him. As Booth takes her to town, she finally gets the chances to beat the crap out of him and almost killing him, but Halstead stops her just in time.

With the the Unit at Molly's to celebrate, Upton stays home and gets a visit from Halstead, who is there for her in a time of need. She tells Halstead that her partner that Booth killed was someone she was very, very close with and the two drink their sorrows.

"Ghosts" was such a strong, intense, thrilling and such well developed character for Hailey Upton. This was Tracy Spiridakos best performance since joining the show as it gave such an emotional and intense background story of her past. Not to mention Jesse Lee Soffer was amazing in this episode too. This was definitely the perfect #Upstead episode. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

CPD will be off for the next couple of weeks.

You can catch Chicago PD Wednedays at 10/9c.

Unforgettable: Chicago Med "Born This Way"

Image result for Chicago Med born this way

This week's episode of Chicago Med was indeed an unforgettable one.

Let's face it: we don't know where this relationship between Rhodes and Bekker is going, and quite frankly, I would like to see where this is going. There might be something there, some spark ever since then they've been working together. After their one night, their relationship takes a test when one of Rhodes' patients comes in in need of a lung transplant. Bekker questions Rhodes about his decisions for the patient, but things get worse with each step he takes. But that all changes when Bekker and Rhodes ask the ECMO and find out that there is a clot in the machine and soon takes him to the OR for his lung transplant. But their relationship takes a bit of a turn when Bekker breaks it off with him.

After pulling a night shift, Ethan and Natalie go beyond the work in the hospital to help treat a pregnant homeless teen who's in labor and running a fever. But when the teen doesn't want to go to the ER because DCFS will put her back into the system, Ethan takes the chance and helps deliver the baby outside in the cold. As the delivery takes a drastic turn, the baby is born safe, but the teen, who still doesn't want to go to Med, makes the hardest decision to give her baby up.

Dr. Charles, who's been in between the latest reunion of Sarah and her father, sees that Sarah's father might be pulling something over her with his health condition. Looking at his brain scan and getting a second opinion from Nero, it seems that Sarah's father has a bit of a psychopathic mind. He confronts him in a session and asks him to tell Sarah the truth about his health and what he wants her to do to help. But when he does, it seems that Sarah's dad only told her half of the truth, which puts Charles in a tight position.

Halstead and April treat a curable cancer patient; if caught early, he could beat it. But in this case, the patient doesn't want anything to do with treatment and wants to die because he's a pedophile. With April not wanting to help the guy, Halstead tries his best to help him, even if it's not what the patient wants. With no hold from Reese, the patient's health takes a turn for the worse, and Halstead, who tries to convince the man to let him help, follows his wishes and holds his hand til the end.

When the hospital is in a lawsuit from a patient who says that the EMT passed him because he had no insurance, he claims it was Maggie's idea. When Goodwin confronts her, they pull the EMT, who made the statement that it was Maggie's idea, and when they face him, it all makes sense with the pizza room situation. The pizza room is for the EMT to bring in the better patients with the best insurance so the hospital can get paid. Goodwin decides to shut it down, but the hospital board won't accept it as it costs too much money.

"Born This Way" was an excellent one-hour episode with good writing and character development. The performance from the cast was terrific, including Gehifuss, Brian Tee, Donnell, and Norma Kuhling, who might have an excellent breakout performance as her character opens up to help the parents of a boy in need of a lung transplant help with guidance. I don't know about you, but I want to see where this Rhodes/Bekker thing is going, even if she breaks off with him at the end. What would be the nickname for these two? I thought that the Halstead story was chilling and so brilliantly written. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.
