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.

This Is Us "A Father's Advice" Season Premiere

The season premiere of This Is Us aired last night and it felt so good to see these characters once again.

It's Randall, Kate and Kevin's birthday and celebrating might not be the way they would have hoped it would be. Randall and Beth are pursuing adopting a baby, but Beth isn't too sure she would want to do that until she rethinks at a time where her and William had a discussion at his favorite spot. While Randall talks to Rebecca about how adopting and asking when did she knew he was theirs and she goes on saying that with every marriage there's one that pushes and it was Jack.

Later, Beth takes Randall for a ride to Williams favorite spot and gives him not only one birthday gift but an idea for adopting. Instead of adopting a baby, maybe adopting an older kid. Seems like it's a go.

Meanwhile, Kevin is having an okay time in Hollywood after filming for Ron Howard, he gets a call from Sophie about how she cant come due to her mother's MS. So that makes his plans with Kate and Toby a threesome birthday date, for which Toby didn't like it.

Toby gets Kate's confidence up for her audition but when she goes to her audition she looks around and thinks back to the pool scene where every girl didn't want to hangout with her. She skips and has birthday dinner with Kevin and Toby, but she tells Kevin before telling Toby about the audition. Kevin tries to make things better with Toby and Kate, but Toby needs Kevin to back off just a bit from Kate just a bit.

After the two argued, Kate stopped them and headed back to the audition. She came in with a lot of confidence and only got a short audition but fought to the manager that she has the ability to sing than just looking a size two until he brings a backup singer to sing and tells her that she can sing but didn't get it and that it wasn't looking who's skinny. For which gave her a goal to set and peruse.

Kevin tells Toby while Kate was auditioning that she was the one that told him that their father died and that they are inseparable. Bur Toby understands that but he wants Kevin to give them a little bit of space. For which he did, letting them go drink their feelings away while Kevin headed back to the hotel to find Sophie there.

Probably the one thing that will stand out through this episode is learning about Jack's death, since that's the one thing everyone has been asking about since season one.

We see how both Jack and Rebecca took time away from one another, thinking that this would be okay until Rebecca comes back to bring Jack home. But after a heartfelt speech from Rebecca, Jack tells her that he's drunk and has been drinking for weeks. He tells her he needs help and he will but just when you think after he shuts the door it was over.

Nope!

Rebecca pushes him to come home. But as we see them driving home, we jump into a scene where Rebecca drives with a small bag (wedding ring and other things I want to say), and later come to seeing Migual calming Randall and Kate about Jack's death and Kate telling Randall they need to find Kevin (while kissing Sophie) to tell him.

But we come to Rebecca driving home and sees the home and turns out the house was on fire and burned badly. What could this be, did Jack had another hard time given up drinking that he drank himself and had an accident?

"A Father's Advice" was an amazing episode that had such great character development, soild writing and performances, manily from Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Chrissy Metz, Sterling K. Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson. I really enjoyed the narration of Ron Cephas Jones' William reading/typing up his book that it just seemed to fitting. Was I tearing up through the episode? Yes. This was such a great first episode to start the season.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

The Blacklist Season 5 Premiere (MORE CLIPS!!!!)

With the season premiere tomorrow, here are some more clips from The Blacklist season premiere.

The season premiere begins Wednesday, Sept. 27th at 8/7c on NBC.

Kevin Can Wait "Civil Ceremony" Season Premiere

Last night's season premiere of Kevin Can Wait was hilarious at time but also felt so strange in a way.

"In "Civil Ceremony," the series seems to jump a year after the season one finale. When Kevin forgets to mail Chale's immigration papers, Kevin does all he can to keep his daughter's fiance to stay, even if that means putting on a quick wedding.

I will admit that this episode had some funny moments. From Kevin and Chale's meeting with the immigration guy and when things were good, it went south when Kevin mentions terrorism. Even Leah's character helping Kendra with her wedding and invites the stripper, who happens to be a plummer, not only appears once but will appear twice and the second time will be even creaper and funny.

But the thing that was so strange was addressing about Donna's death. We only get a short word about Donna's death, but with all due respect, where's the respect for the character? Only get a little after Kevin gets mail from Donna's gym saying they miss her. I don't know about you, but I didn't feel satisfied at all. I was hoping a little more like a sit down and talk about it but I guess they really wanted to address it qucik and move on.

This episode was pretty good. It did delivered some funny moments and even a heart warming one with Kevin and Kendra just before he walked her down the chaple for the wedding. But at the end of the day the one big thing that the show was going to do just didn't feel it was done in the right way. I feel that it should have been a bit longer in talking about Erin Hayes' characer Donna. And now that it aired I don't think they'll address about it again and just move on with life.

Overall, I give this season premiere a 6.5/10.

You can catch Kevin Can Wait Mondays at 9/8c on CBS.
