Leverage: Redemption - The Panamanian Monkey Job television review

The team follows Fletcher Maxwell (Reed Diamond) to Panama in the second episode to stop their mark from accessing family funds kept in a private bank catering to unscrupulous clients. Since the bad guy remains the same, “The Panamanian Monkey Job” doesn’t require as much time in the way of setup. Instead that time is used to introduce the show’s other new cast member in Hardison‘s (Aldis Hodge) foster sister Breanna Casey (Aleyse Shannon) who will take over for Hardison as the team’s new hacker with Hodge’s exit due to other contractual responsibilities. The episode offers up the idea that the work Hardison does outside the team is more needed than being present on their individual jobs while leaving Breanna in the hands of Parker (Beth Riesgraf).

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Battle Scars / Reunion / Bounty Lost television review

The trio of episodes, “Battle Scars, “Reunion,” and “Bounty Lost” lead into each other starting with the Bad Batch (all voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) hastily working to remove Wrecker‘s implant before he turns like Crosshair. The location of the surgery, in which the other clones also get their chips removed, provides the backdrop of the following episode in which bounty hunters and the Empire catch up to the clones on Bracca. Both episodes allow for the show to pull in familiar guest-stars with Rex appearing in “Battle Scars” and Cad Bane (Corey Burton) showing up to abduct Omega (Michelle Ang).

The Flash - Heart of the Matter (Part 1) TV review

As expected, The Flash pulls in several familiar faces for the show’s 150th episode which also acts as the first-half of the season finale. The various Godspeeds continue to war across the city. Team Flash’s plan to take them down fails and alerts Barry (Grant Gustin) to the fact that the Godspeeds have an added hate for Bart (Jordan Fisher). The episode does offer the return of John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick, although he’s mostly used as a hostage, as well as the return of one of the show’s recently departed cast members. Suffering defeat, with Bart in a coma and no plan on how to defeat the Godspeeds, Barry prepares to enter the mind of an amnesiac time-traveler (Karan Oberoi) hoping to find answers on how he can save his city and perhaps alter the future to keep his children safe.

The Mysterious Benedict Society - Carrying A Bird television review

The chosen orphans begin their assignment for Mr. Benedict (Tony Hale) who sends the foursome undercover to infiltrate the L.I.V.E. Institute which he believes is the source of the transmissions causing the Emergency. The school is no less peculiar than anywhere else the orphans have found themselves up to this point. The kids don’t learn much on their first day, other than a mysterious tower they are told not to approach. However, on day two they do meet the head of the institute leading to all kinds of questions considering how much he looks like someone they know. The episode highlights Sticky‘s (Seth Carr) knowledge of Morse Code as well as fill in a bit of both his backstory and that of Milligan (Ryan Hurst). And we discover Benedict’s belief that the annoying Constance (Marta Kessler) may be the key to the group’s success.
