Oh man, I literally can't wait for the return of this show. As much as I don't want the season to end, I really want to see where we are going after the events in the fall finale, even though they are in the good place the last time we left them. I really hate to predict on a show like this because it's one of those shows to watch, laugh and enjoy the adventure with these rich and well-developed characters.

You can catch The Good Place Thursdays at a new time 9:30/8:30c after the premiere of Brooklyn Nine-Nine on NBC.

Personal Sight: FBI "Prey"/"Crossfire"

"Prey"

When an injured woman appears at someone's home with stab wounds around, the FBI must find her killer but it turns into even more than they thought it was.

The FBI takes the case of a woman who escaped death but leads them to what is a graveyard of other women. Not only are they searching for the murder but also the woman's sister as well. Learning that what this whole thing is sex trafficking and gets one of their own in an undercover sting to get their suspect. Maggie gets the suspect to give them the name of the boss, which one of them happens to be one that Maggie and Zidan interviewed earlier. After capturing the suspects of the crimes, Maggie and Zidan found their victim's sister as well.

"Prey" was a not only strong but a powerful character development piece for Maggie Bell. You can see her grow through this episode with strength and courage with her history that she mentions a bit. The writing was so good and kept me interested from the beginning to end. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Crossfire"

When a lawyer gets shot to death in daylight, the FBI tackles their toughest case yet.

Agents Bell and Zidan take on the case of a lawyer getting shot in brawn daylight from a snipper. From interviewing the wife that they thought had a motive because he was meeting with a divorce lawyer, but wasn't at all. Later on, a cop gets shot and a suspect was seen running away from the scene that happens to be a kid. When Bell and Zidan capture the kid, they try to talk with him but learns that he didn't do anything wrong as he was being taken care of from the shooter.

After talking with Dana, they try to reason with the kid and asked him where the shooter is located and gives them that he's at a church. As everyone secures the site, Maggie and Zidan tries to reason with the suspect but doesn't seem to come around. When someone is running in the streets, the suspect was about to take the shot but gets killed on Maggie's orders after trying to reason with him failed.

The after effects from that case carries out with Maggie talking with the victim's wife about how she acted and didn't tell her about the motive. But she gives her advice for carrying on. Zidan tries to help the kid because he understands what it was like growing up in an environment.

"Crossfire" was another powerful episode. Strong character development from not only Bell but Zidan as he understands the kid that was caught in the shooting and growing up with a father who forces religion on them. It was a well-performed episode from the ensemble cast. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch FBI Tuesdays at 9/8c on CBS.

Couple's Retreat: Fresh Off the Boat "Just the Two of Us"

Image result for fresh off the boat "Just the Two of Us"



The first new episode of the new year, Jessica and Louis take a trip that more of working instead of relaxing. Here's a recap!

When Jessica, Louis, and the kids try to win a radio contest, Louis got to be the 88th caller to win. But what they won was a choice between a trip or computer software. Jessica decides the trip that apparently is a couple's retreat to fix relationships.

While there Jessica and Louis meet with Guru Sheela, who uses exercises to help couples on their relationships. Instead of seeing exercises, Jessica sees it as a competition against the other couples but failed each exercise and later realizes that it's Louis'attitude. Soon Jessica comes to terms to agree to some of Louis' ideas in their marriage.

Meanwhile, Eddie isn't too pleased with the driving arrangements as grandma is his license passenger but don't like his style of music. But when he ease the music on her, she not only becomes a fan of Will Smith but knows what Eddie is up too and pulls a fast one by not riding with him to his little birthday party. The two saw eye to eye and comes to terms.

"Just The Two Of Us" was a nice and solid episode that had good moments. The Jessica and Louis retreat storyline was good, but it could easily be best by Eddie and grandma's storyline with the Will Smith references and using the phrase, "Just the two of us" when calling their time in the car. But it was Emery and Evan that pretty much stole the episode with their commentary.

Overall, I give this episode 8/10.

You can catch Fresh Off the Boat Fridays at 8/7c on ABC.

Revenge: FBI "Green Birds"

Image result for FBI "Green Birds"


When several people in New York City were dying from food that they've gotten from a take-out. Agents Bell and Zidan learn that it wasn't just the bad cooking that was killing people, but even bigger.

As people in New York City were collapsing and dying from take-out food that they've gotten, Agents Bell and Zidan learn that someone has poisoned the salads with a spray. But when they locate their suspect, it was too late as she died too.

As they investigate deeper, the FBI learn that their suspect was part of an online chat with a member of ISIS. Digging deeper Bell and Zidan learn that their suspect wasn't the only person to be in contact with the ISIS member. As they questioned the school friend, she too was apart of the chatfest.

The FBI begins to chat with the ISIS member but when he asked to meet with her, they asked how would he knew who he's looking for; that's when he responded that he knows and sends a photo of the girl. Now they have to use her to meet with the terrorist.

But as they wait for the meeting, it turns out that it wasn't who they expect but instead it was one of his many followers. They take her in and while learning what she knows, she learns that she's not the only one who's a follower of her so-called husband. Soon she talks and they get information about three more girls that could do the same thing as the others.

As soon as they got the names and faces, they went searching and stopped at a food market to stop anyone that was or will eat. And soon they spotted one of their suspects leaving in the park and as soon as they caught her, they learned from the flyer in her bookbag where their suspect is waiting at; at the dock.

Bell and Zidan get to the dock and look around a big crowd. Soon Zidan spots the suspect and just as he walks towards him, he takes a hostage. The two talked and talked but in the end, Zidan took him out. 

Later back at headquarters, Zidan tells Bell that he'll sleep better knowing that their suspect is dead instead of being in jail. After Zidan leaves, Bell sends an email to someone. Who and what could it be about?

"Green Birds" was a very good episode, probably an episode I would want to rewatched down the road if I'm bored of something. Even though Keeko Zaki gives a good performance as Agent Zidan, it was Sela Ward, who happens to be her first episode as the FBI's new boss that stole the episode with some of her wit and charm. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch FBI Tuesdays at 9/8c on CBS.

Looks like Cooper's the man to help Red if Liz doesn't talk him out of it. It seems like this is going to be one hell of an episode. 
You can catch The Blacklist Fridays at 9/8c on NBC.

Enemy or Hero? The Blacklist "The Corsican (No.20)" Season Premiere, Part 2


Part two of the two-part season premiere of The Blacklist get Liz to ask the question is Red is a good man or a bad man. But it leaves with the biggest twist of all this season.

As Red gets a tip of The Corsican for Liz and the FBI that he's going to bomb the United Nations building passing as someone that is delivering a suitcase to a diplomat. Trying to locate him getting there, Liz and Ressler locate the suitcase but The Corsican is gone in the wind. Donald gets to him in a stalemate but he escapes after shooting a hostage.

While Liz is with the bomb, Red brings a familiar face, who happens to supply the bomb to the Corsican, Maxwell. As Maxwell gets ready to open the case, intense builds at every second. As Maxwell stops the bomb, Red is at the UN General Assembly given one of the greatest speeches in 2019, that was a remark on the history of films and even the cold war.

But when Liz comes in to tell him about the bomb has been stopped, she continues to think of the idea that maybe Reddington that we see isn't all that bad but good as he once again saves people from danger.  Later she calls Jennifer to tell her that they should take a step back, but Jennifer isn't ready to and tells her that they need to see this through.

As Red, Dembe, and Maxwell leave to get some salted pretzels, Red gets confronted by a street police officer asking for his ID but soon arrested him and learns that he's Raymond Reddington. Not only does the Task Force is in shock, but Liz as well and they try to get Red out of custody but since it's an election year, the attorney general isn't dropping it (because she's running for Governor).

Liz visits him and tries to get him to tell about his agreement, but he tells her that someone has betrayed him, someone, close and tells her to look for that person. But when Liz and Jennifer celebrate with a drink, it's Liz that admits that she's the one that betrayed Red and gets emotional about what he could be facing that includes the death penalty. But Jennifer isn't that emotional.

As Liz makes her remarks, Reddington is taken to jail as the Attorney General talks to the press about how she'll hold Red to everything accountable.

This episode, again, amazing, incredible, and just pure shocking moment that really had my heart sunk to the ground at the end of the episode. Megan Boone really shines in this episode like I thought she would this season from Part One of the season premiere. You couldn't even read her with her questioning whether she's gonna to do something to Reddington or not. And what I thought was it was going to be Jennifer that pulled the trigger, even after Liz tells her that she wants to back down because she thinks Reddington is a good man. Boy, was I played.

Does anyone feel that during the final scenes of the episode that it felt like a bit like when Liz was going to jail? Oh man, this is going to one hell of a season, but I don't think that Reddington will be in jail for a long time, I give it at least a few weeks, maybe a month or two.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Blacklist on it's new home Fridays at 9/8c on NBC.
