If We Controlled Your Remote… 5/4/16

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

chicagopd54smallIt’s been just over a month since we last saw Chicago PD, and I’ve missed it! It’s my favorite of the “Chicago” shows, although I love all three. On the last episode, police got calls about a woman who’d stabbed a man, and it turned out the woman was a kidnapping victim who escaped when he was moving her to a new location. The guy was a total sociopath. He was a realtor and he had kept this woman chained in the basement of one of the houses. It turned out his wife was a previous victim he’d kidnapped who adamantly refused to believe the police when they tried to tell her who she really was. It finally sunk in at the end, and they were able to arrest the guy. But he was really creepy!

I’m not a big fan of the Burgess/Roman pairing they seem to be shoving down our throats. Burgess & Roman were great as partners, and Burgess is still not over Ruzek, so why are they forcing that on us? Argh. Frustrating! But I do love seeing Lindsay and Halstead! They should definitely keep giving us more of them. LOL

On tonight’s episode, “In a Duffel Bag,” responding to a call about a suspicious duffel bag at the Chicago Lakefront, Voight is horrified to discover that the bag contains the frigid and unmoving body of a newborn baby. Determined to find the culprit who abandoned the infant, Intelligence receives a promising lead based on information provided by Chicago Med, and Ruzek helps zero in on a potential suspect. Meanwhile, Voight is surprised to hear that his son is in town, and Burgess and Roman grow closer.

See if Intelligence can track down whoever left the baby in the duffel bag tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Heartbeat, Rosewood, The Goldbergs, Criminal Minds, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, black-ish, & Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.

theamericans54smallLast week, The Americans continued to prove why it is one of the best dramas on TV. Both the KGB and the feds were on a desperate search for Martha. She had made her way to a payphone where she made a teary goodbye to her parents – it was unclear whether she thought she was going to be killed or if she might jump from the nearby bridge on her own. The feds tracked the call and were making their way to the park, but Elizabeth got there first and told Martha the unhappy truth that she would be going on a one-way trip to the Soviet Union and that Clark/Philip/Mikhail would not be joining her. Martha was sad that she would once again be alone, but “Jennifer” assured her that she would be well taken care of. Meanwhile, Agent Gaad came to the shocking realization that his longtime secretary had been seduced by and married a KGB officer. How could he have not seen how lonely and unhappy she must have been?!

I’m looking forward to seeing the fallout of this whole Martha situation. Will Philip be reprimanded for how he handled his asset and blew his cover to her? Will the feds get closer to discovering the Jennings’ connection to all of this? Will Philip and Elizabeth finally deal with the whole Paige and Pastor Tim issue? And will Henry ever get his Epcot trip? It feels like the show is building toward some ominous development from Henry’s relationship with Stan – perhaps leading to Stan getting clued into the Jennings’ true identities and motives.

On tonight’s episode, “The Magic of David Copperfield V: The Statue of Liberty Disappears,” the Jennings hit their breaking points as they try to handle local agents.

See what drives the Jennings to their limit tonight on FX at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Middle, The Goldbergs, Modern Family, black-ish, Empire, Arrow, Survivor, and Criminal Minds.

criminalminds54smallIt’s hard to believe that it’s the season finale of Criminal Minds already. It seems so soon, but alas, all good things must come to an end. This season has been a roller-coaster ride because we’ve watched as Garcia was threatened by the Internet hit men, and then we watched as Derek was hunted and almost killed. He was then married and had a baby, followed by him leaving the BAU a few episodes ago… It was so sad to see him go, and I’m not sure how the team is going to be without him.

On tonight’s finale, “The Storm,” the BAU is shocked when Hotch is apprehended by a SWAT team and suspected of conspiracy, and as the team scrambles to prove his innocence, they suspect a larger plot is on the horizon.

To see if the team can save Hotch, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching Law & Order: SVU, Chicago PD, Rosewood, and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.
