When Richie “The Pitbull” Falco (Scott Broderick), a personal injury lawyer, is found tortured and bludgeoned to death in a dark alleyway, the list of suspects is quite extensive.

Grimm – “Double Date” Retrospective. Winging It.
If this week’s episodic quote isn’t cryptic enough, there are many other mysteries embedded within “Double Date” that will definitely make you go hmm. The title of this week’s Grimm is a bit misleading. Typically, double date implies two couples going out for the evening, but in “Double Date,” the meaning is more … well, it’s duplicitous to the nth degree.

The Americans – “Do Mail Robots Dream of Electric Sheep?” Review. Collateral Damage.
“Do Mail Robots Dream of Sheep?” proves you don’t need a tremendous amount of suspense and intrigue to be a great episode. While there is a small amount of tension, mostly from the scenes involving Oleg and Zinaida, and Hans and Todd, the emotionality is what makes this episode stand out from the others. And stand out it does with terrific dialogue, expert direction, and, as usual, outstanding performances from everyone involved.

Justified – “Trust” Review. Feminine Wiles, Indeed.
Unpredictability – it’s a key ingredient for any good TV drama, and this final season of Justified seems to have it in spades. I’ve mulled over many plot points this season and I’m not sure who will be left standing in the end. I will say this; what Ava (Joelle Carter) does in “Trust” takes the damn cake. “Trust” is definitely a thought provoking and eyebrow raising episode. From Boyd revealing a little tidbit to Markham about how he came to know about his money to Ava taking matters into her own hands, “Trust” takes us for a wild ride …

Let’s find out, shall we?
