Dave – Wisconsin

  • Title: Dave – Wisconsin
  • IMDb: link

Okay, the middle of a show’s third season may seem a weird place to jump in for the first time but you announce Chloe Bennett as a guest-star and my attention is piqued. Bennett guest-stars as a local photographer who Dave (Dave Burd) immediately falls for when the tour hits Wisconsin. And the attraction is mutual, despite Dave’s various neuroses. The other storyline involves Ally (Taylor Misiak) joining the tour fresh out of her failed relationship and looking for some revenge sex with an old friend that’s had a crush on her for more than a decade.

The Mandalorians – The Return

The Third Season of The Mandalorian comes to a close with the battle over Mandalore, and, as I correctly called, not a single hero met their deaths in the action-packed but pretty predictable final episode. Even the most minor of the Mandalorian clan make it out of the battle without a scratch. There’s plenty of action here involving the Mandalorians fighting the Imperial Commandos of Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) and destroying the Imperial Remnant facility which I’m assuming must have had a greater purpose than just feed Gideon’s ego and secret experiments.

The final season of The Blacklist continues to play back its hits with the return of the Troll Farmer (Aaron Yoo) from Season 3 now working for Wujing (Chin Han) to steal a cutting-edge cyber-weapon from the NSA.

Abominable and the Invisible City – Chinese Nian Year

  • Title: Abominable and the Invisible City – Chinese Nian Year (Part 1 & Part 2)
  • IMDb: link / link

The two-part First Season finale centers around Chinese New Year. While “Part 1” teases magical creatures being kidnapped around the city, ending with the abduction of Everest, the first-half of the story is more about the various characters perusing their own interests. Yi (Chloe Bennet) obsesses with an upcoming musical performance and Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) is distracted by a minor role in the parade. With no one else to join them, and believing the festival will hide the look of yeti, Peng (Ethan Loh) takes Everest on an eating tour through the city which eventually leads to the others searching for the pair only to find them as they are taken by Nian.
