Hawaii Five-0 - No ke ali'i wahine a me ka 'aina

Hawaii Five-0 enters the world of espionage as Chris Vance guest-stars as a British spy hunting down computer code which terrorists plan to use to hack nuclear silos across Europe creating the largest nuclear meltdown in history. Aside from the script which expects us to believe all nuclear weapons across multiple countries can be hacked remotely by a single hack, “No ke ali’i wahine a me ka ‘aina” provides it share of enjoyable fun and intrigue as Five-0 first hunts down the spy and then begins working with him to stop a world-wide disaster.

The Good Place - Jason Mendoza

The relief Eleanor (Kristen Bell) feels at discovering she isn’t the only one mistakenly let into heaven is short lived as she discovers Jianyu (Manny Jacinto) isn’t so much a wise Buddhist monk but a failed idiot DJ from Jacksonville, Florida, named Jason Mendoza. Tired of living a lie, something we see Jason did plenty of in his old life, Jianyu nearly comes clean to the entire community forcing Eleanor to take drastic action to prevent the truth from coming out and getting both herself and Jianyu sent to Hell.

Marvel's Luke Cage - Moment of Truth

“Moment of Truth” is a problematic first episode which doesn’t completely sell me on Marvel’s latest television series. For a series supposedly centered around its title character, Luke Cage (Mike Colter) himself is mostly sleepwalking through the series premiere of the new Netflix series. Even what we do see of the character, introduced previously as a recurring character in Jessica Jones, such as his low-key life as a dishwasher and barbershop janitor will be thrown completely out the window by the end of the first episode when the corruption and violence around him will finally force Luke to take a stand. Instead we get teases about the character’s unexplored past while most of “Moment of Truth” works on world building and setting up the various characters of Harlem. While its possible some of this work may eventually pay off down the line over the series’ 13 episodes, we’re not given much to suggest that its probable that will be the case.

Blindspot - Hero Fears Imminent Rot

While the rest of the team is busy hunting the group responsible for a series of bombings around New York, Jane (Jaimie Alexander) is given a test by Sheppard (Michelle Hurd). Although Jane will fail her assignment to kill as ordered to by Sandstorm, Roman (Luke Mitchell) will step in to cover for his sister. Shaken from the experience, but now accepted by the organization, Jane is offered some ominous words of wisdom from her brother stating he will do whatever it takes to bring back the sister he lost before Sandstorm wiped Jane’s memories. Roman also suggests Sandstorm’s plans will now proceed quickly (which would be news to both the show’s writers and its audience).
