Redo-Reboot: The Good Place "Chidi Sees The Time-Knife"

Can Michael convince the Judge that the Good Place system is broken? Here's a recap!

As Michael gets the gang through the IHOP, they meet with the judge who isn't too happy to see Michael, but happy to see a sexy Chidi in a mailman outfit. After being in the IHOP with a weird creature on Tahani, the Judge changes the setting but still in the IHOP.

As Michael fails to get the Judge to understand that the point system is not updated for humans to be in the good place. That was until Jason, the last person you would have thought, gave the best understanding statement that humans make common mistakes. That's when Michael asked the Judge to see Earth for herself and after like five seconds, she realizes that Earth is very bad.

The Judge brings in Sean and gets him and Michael to compromise on a solution to fix the problem. But when Chidi comes up with a solution, he forgot he was still in the IHOP flying around as a tiny Chidi til Janet caught him and brought him back. Chidi's solution was to redo the good place and keep data on how a new group would do.

They pick the Medium Place to do it or Mindy's backyard, where Janet reunites with her "son-rebound-booty call boyfriend" Derek! Soon, the Judge laid down the rules and the only question was how to get the people for the good place? Janet would create the people, but better than Derek. But after making a couple, she gets help from Derek for help.

As Michael is prepared, he gets a video call from Sean who tells him that he's got a plan to torcher the four humans as a Vicki in a Michael suit will be doing that. And soon after with only minutes till the first person wakes up, Eleanor gives Michael a pep talk til Michael freaks out leaving with a cliffhanger for the season finale.

"Chidi Sees The Time-Knife" was another marvelous episode. From the story to the character development to even the cliffhanger was just so good. Who would have thought that Jason would be the one to convince the Judge about how humans make mistakes. It was total character development for someone like Jason, who's been like the MVP of this season, to step up and be that bold but also correct. With a freakout Michael, I wonder if Eleanor is gonna to fill in for Michael to get the ball going. I can't wait to see what the season finale and see where Season 4 will take us. I think we'll be saying Holly Motherforkin Shirtballs again!

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the season finale of The Good Place this Thursday at 9:30/8:30c on NBC

DON'T MISS IT!!!!

Cops and Politicians: Chicago PD "Trust"

The Intelligence Unit might be facing more than just a killer. Here's a recap!

"Trust" is what I would call the door to what we've been waiting for since the beginning of the season. The chance to see what the intelligence unit would face against the Chicago politics of it all that would end with some shocking moments.

When a well-known district attorney is killed, the intelligence unit investigates that divides to what Hank and the team learn that its a connection to a mayoral candidate. Hank and the team find their suspect but his connection to Mayor Candidate Brian Kelton and Kate Brennan too. But only to release him due to his help with Kelton.

Meanwhile, during a chase Atwater gets shot in the shoulder and thought that he was a goner but comes out okay. But we see another memorable moment with Trudy after Atwater is out surgery and doing well. But the moment Hank learns that the Kate is involved with the Mayor on this, it turns into a moment of doing her a favor like she has said at the beginning of the season.

It was an amazing and intense episode. I thought the story was good and even strong in the developments of the characters. There were many moments that I loved in this episode from the Kate and Hank moments, Antonio and Burgess to even Trudy and Atwater at the hospital, which was a Kleenex moment. It also has me concern as if something is gonna happen with Trudy down the season? We've had those moments with her. John C. McGinley was amazing and fits perfect to the character so far in Kelton. Anne Heche's performance was good as well. and her chemistry with Jason Beghe just gives me goosebumps. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

To Trust or Not to Trust: Chicago Med "Who Can You Trust"

It's that one simple question, who can you trust?

"Who can you Trust" was an intense and dramatic episode that puts each character in a situation and divided each one. From Halstead, who still battling his PTSD, is standing by his patient's decision, who's a pregnant surrogate with twins, whether to end one of the baby's life to save the other or putting in a stint in that could save them both. He gets the patient to decide over the parents and soon gets benched by Goodwin for his actions and Will takes it out on Natalie, who she thinks he needs help.

Ethan and April's work relationship is tested when they have a difference of opinion about treating the patient. With Ethan doing all that he can for a former veteran but dies in the end. Ethan confronts April about her ethics and her feelings towards Vicki that soon gets her open about she still has feelings and kisses Ethan in the doctor's lounge, but leaves just before Vicki shows up.

Conner and Ava's relationship seems to be on hyperdrive and for real. He still stands by her story about her encounter with his father. But after treating a patient that needs a liver donation doesn't want her own sister to donate because she killed her daughter years ago.  But in order to save her, Ave does what Conner thinks is unthinkable and does the surgery with the patient's sister with her knowing it. Conner soon visits her father to hear his side of the story.

I'd very much enjoyed the episode from beginning to the end and at times disagreeing with characters that would think know better. I think that it's gonna take time for Will to see that he needs help. I'm sure that Ethan and April's relationship might be over after that kiss. And the bigger question in this episode: who do you trust between Conner's father and Ava? I think there have been times when you could trust Ava but for somehow I think she's telling the truth.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

What do you think of the episode? Who do you trust between Ava and Conner's father?

"I Want John Stamos": This Is Us "The Last Seven Weeks"

This Is Us returns with some twist and turns but moments that were memorable.

"The Last Seven Weeks" gives the chronicle of the last seven weeks that had to happen since the previous episode. In the beginning, we see characters in awkward situations as Randel is awaiting the election results and learn how they got to this point.

When Kate accidentally selling Toby's Star Wars action figures that were meant for their child to have to keep and pass on. She tries to get them back but couldn't and Toby returns with a gift that's an emotional blast from the past.

 Kevin gets help from Zoe on tracking the whereabouts of his uncle and learn about Zoe's past relationship that puts his relationship with her into question. Would they end their relationship or not? As soon as Randel sends everyone home on election night, Zoe tells Kevin that he's the one person that she's opened up to about her past, unlike anyone else and decides that she would want to move in together.

Randal learning the meaning of putting family ahead of anything else that includes politics and having a flashback with Jack about being a man. We see how his relationship with Beth become stressful in a way and after speaking with the Father of the church local church, it's like Randal got strike by lightning and finally understands that having a strong family is what being a man is about. And after apologizing to Beth and the kids, things really got better and even on election night, the results were too close to call. As Randal send everyone home, he finally gets the call and turns out he won.

This episode was another strong character developmental episode and strong writing. It was also a well-performed episode from the ensemble cast. There were moments that I didn't think would go the way it did from Zoe and Kevin's relationship as I thought it would end right there, but it didn't and we can thank John Stamos for that. I think we had to give Beth and Randal some hope that their relationship would be okay after the fall finale. Not to mention the Kate and Toby story was not only awkward when Toby learns that Kate sold his "DNS" (Do Not Sell), but won me over when Toby gave Kate a special gift that was one of many memorable moments.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

"Four Oreo's from Heaven": The Good Place "The Book of Dougs"

Can Michael convince the people of The Good Place that their system is broken? Here's a recap!

Eleanor, Michael, and the gang are in The Good Place as they can't use foul language and can only smell what they would consider being pleasant things; like a cloud of raging teen hormones at a pool or Blake Bortles winning the Super Bowl or even a warm pretzel.

There they meet Gwendolyn, a mail worker, plays along with Michael's story about how they got to this spot of The Good Place. During their time, she tells them that The Good Place is right out the door but they couldn't open it. Michael asked if he could talk with the council but she tells him meeting with them would be breaking the rules; which he did and tries to explain that The Bad Place has tampered with the system, but it didn't go the way he had hoped. After hearing about a waiting period of 400 years to assemble a team and a thousand years to investigate it, Michael had one more way to get this fix to see the judge.

Meanwhile, Chidi helps to calm Eleanor down as she's freaked out for being that close to the good place. Being only four Oreos away from heaven, Chidi becomes a complete opposite of what he has been and calms her down with date dinner to even dressing up as a mailman. But after dressing up like a mailman, Eleanor takes Chidi and had sex in a closet.

Tahani tries to help with Jason and Janet but causes more problems in a way. From trying a death do they part paper to even talking to Janet and getting her to cry, which gave Gwendolyn a clue that they were all lying.

As Michael confesses to Gwendolyn, the portal opens with the doorman telling him that the judge wants to see them at IHOP, which is not a place to enjoy eating pancakes but it stands for Interdimensional Hole of Pancakes. Michael, Eleanor and the gang move into the portal to meet the judge.

"The Book of Dougs" was as good as it could have ever been. The episode really depicts the American Government well in the moments from The Good Place council having to wait over 1400 years to investigate Michael's claims to Jason asking what place would turn down refugees. Nicole Byer, who played Gwendolyn, really stole the episode with her performance. Not to mention William Jackson Harper and Ted Danson were amazing as well. Strong character development and strong writing for this episode. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Good Place Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.
