Freeform’s latest original series, Beyond, centers around a young man named Holden, who awakes from a 12-year coma to discover that he has some unusual abilities and finds himself at the center of a dangerous conspiracy. I’ve been watching week to week, but for those who want to binge all 8 episodes, the network made the entire season available on On Demand shortly after the premiere. When we last left off, Holden discovered that his parents had actually been separated and were only pretending to be together for his sake, and his younger brother headed back to college. Willa convinced Holden to re-enter the Realm and was helping to bring back his memories of this magical place where he “lived” with her during the years he was in a coma. Meanwhile, the mysterious man in the yellow jacket abducted Kevin for questioning and seemingly executed him afterwards. At the end of last week’s episode, Kevin’s brother – who was the one who originally put Holden in a coma – grabbed Holden at gunpoint, demanding to know where his brother was.

Who is this man in the yellow jacket who’s living a double life, what’s his agenda, and what did he want with Kevin? (I assume we’ll find out tonight, based on the episode title!) Is Kevin dead, and does his brother know about the Realm? Was putting Holden into a coma truly an accident, or was there more to it? Is Willa hiding something about why she and her grandfather need Holden to go back in? I’m enjoying the mystery so far, and the series has already been renewed for a second season, so there will be even more time for all of these questions to be properly answered.

On tonight’s episode, “The Man in the Yellow Jacket,” Holden seeks intel about the man who’s after him by teaming up with a former adversary. Meanwhile, the Matthews feel uncomfortable with Jeff’s presence in their lives; Luke struggles to find his place in the family; Willa helps another comatose patient; and Holden asks a girl out for the first time.

See if they can find the man in the yellow jacket tonight on Freeform at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Big Fan, Man With a Plan, The Celebrity Apprentice, Timeless, Gotham, and Lucifer.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 1/9/17

ABC’s new game show Big Fan gives superfans the chance to meet their idols. In each episode, host Andy Richter welcomes a celebrity and three of his or her biggest fans to the stage to compete to see who knows the star the best. In the first two rounds the fans answer questions about the celebrity, and the fan who has the least number of points at the end of each round is eliminated. In the final round, the last remaining fan competes head-to-head with the star to see if they know them better than they know themselves. If the fan answers more questions correctly than the celebrity, they take home the Little Fan award, plus an amazing collection of memorabilia provided by the star.

This show is a lot of fun, bordering on a bit creepy. 🙂 The celebrity definitely needs to have a good sense of humor about themselves. I hope all the episodes are as hilarious as tonight’s premiere with Matthew McConaughey. It looks like there are currently only four 30-minutes episodes on the schedule – two airing tonight and another two next week. Hopefully this show will do well for ABC and we’ll get more celebrity/superfan encounters in the future.

On tonight’s first episode, “Big Fan Matthew McConaughey,” actor Matthew McConaughey goes head-to-head with three of his fans. Then, in “Big Fan Aaron Rodgers,” fans meet professional football player Aaron Rodgers, and TV host Alex Trebek gives Andy some pointers.

Find out who knows Matthew and Aaron best tonight on NBC at 10:01/9:01c & 10:30/9:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The New Celebrity Apprentice and Beyond.
