allegiance226smallAllegiance has been getting really good. Last week’s episode gave us a bit of a “Da Vinci Code”-like story line. The Russians had replaced Alex’s shirt button with a bug and overheard the Fed’s plan to break into the vault hidden in Philadelphia City Hall, which contained Mikhail’s laptop with valuable intel. The CIA’s plan was to replace the laptop with less sensitive material and allow the Russians to believe they got the information they were looking for. However, Victor sent the O’Connors to grab the computer first. Their mission got very tense, as they were under extreme time pressure, but the O’Connors were able to break into the vault and get the laptop. However, they then found themselves trapped in the ceiling of City Hall as Alex ordered a search of the premises.

I hope every episode moving forward is as tense and action-packed as last week’s! All of this spy drama and action is exactly why I love shows like this! Will Alex find his parents and see that they took the laptop? Will he discover that he is being watching and bugged, and how would he react? Would he go on the offensive, or would he use the situation as a tactical advantage? I’m excited to see more of this story and hope the ratings pick up so we can see it come to a proper conclusion!

On tonight’s episode, “Chasing Ghosts,” a surprising discovery leaves Alex reeling as he tries to adjust his theories in light of what he found at Philadelphia City Hall. Meanwhile, the Rezident questions Katya and Mark’s dedication; and Natalie discovers the dangers of Black Dagger.

Find out what Alex learns tonight on NBC at 10:01/9:01c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Big Bang Theory, The Odd Couple, Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away With Murder, The Slap, The Blacklist, Archer, and Wizard Wars.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 2/5/15

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!

Tonight, NBC kicks off the new spy thriller, Allegiance. Rookie CIA analyst Alex O’Connor (Gavin Stenhouse) is sent from DC to New York City to assess an SBR (formerly KGB) asset who wants to defect to the US. However, Alex doesn’t know that his parents, Katya (Hope Davis, The Newsroom) and Mark (Scott Cohen, Necessary Roughness), and sister Natalie (Margarita Levieva, Revenge) are part of a Russian sleeper cell. The O’Connors’ handler Victor (Morgan Spector, Person of Interest, Boardwalk Empire) demands that they recruit their son as a spy before his investigation uncovers the SBR’s darkest secrets. However, Katya doesn’t want to lose any more of her children to the Russians. The series also stars Kenneth Choi (Sons of Anarchy, Ironside) as Alex’s mentor.

One can’t help but compare this show to The Americans. While they do share some similarities, they are still very different shows, and this one takes place in the present. I really enjoyed tonight’s premiere and am looking forward to seeing how this story unfolds. Can the O’Connors prevent the rest of their children from being drafted into the SBR? Will Alex discover the truth about his family? And if so, would he choose family or country?

Meet the new spy family tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Big Bang Theory, Elementary, Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away With Murder, The Blacklist, Backstrom, Archer, Wizard Wars, and Fortitude.
