Shadow and Bone feels every bit the adaptation of a young adult fantasy series.  In this case, not only was the first book of the series adapted but a separate storyline about local thieves was added as well leading to the disconnected storylines early in the eight-part season that didn’t quite gel until a few episodes into the season.

A case with two confessions has never been this hard to solve. When both Linda (Rachael Harris) and the biological daughter (Alexandra Grossi) she gave up for adoption confess to a murder, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and Chloe (Lauren German) look for the real killer. “A Little Harmless Stalking” offers the opportunity for Lucifer to be the calming influence while his usually unflappable psychiatrist struggles with the situation she’s stumbled into (but will still be rewarded by the end of the episode).

Beloved by fans and critics alike, although 1940’s Pinocchio may feel a be dated in spots there is nothing about the film that calls for a new version of the story (let alone three in one year – including one with Pauly Shore?!). However, Disney (in all its wisdom) has chosen Pinocchio for the latest “live-action” adaption of one of their classic animated films (featuring multiple CGI characters, of course). The results are a longer running time, an unnecessary backstory for Geppetto (Tom Hanks) that never leads anywhere, and far less magic.

Starting with a trip to Mexico to extradite a prisoner back to Los Angeles is the start of a very bad day for Dan (Kevin Alejandro) as an old friend (Wilmer Calderon) gets him into trouble and then blackmails him into a series of bad moves including smuggling and murder. Dan’s day goes off the rails fairly quickly, and you’ll probably guess what is going on long before the final reveal, but there’s still fun to be had in the Douche-centric episode that also plays on larger events including the character’s state of mind after recent events and Lucifer (Tom Ellis) looking for a little payback which has the unintended consequence of helping Dan find some clarity.
