Suits – “Respect” Retrospective. Team Player.
While “Enough is Enough” marked the official return of Suits, things finally return to normal in “Respect.” What makes this episode seem like classic Suits is summed up in one word—banter. The dialogue between Mike (Patrick J. Adams) and Harvey (Gabriel Macht) is as sharp and witty as ever.

The Americans– “Baggage” Retrospective. Looking Ahead.
All three of these plot points open the door to some very interesting scenarios, some with far-reaching consequences. As swiftly as the scenes unfold is how quickly time passes when watching this captivating episode of The Americans.

Justified – “Noblesse Oblige” Review. Make Your Next Move Carefully.
By definition, the term ‘noblesse oblige’ means those of high birth, powerful social position, etc., have the moral obligation to act with honor, kindliness, generosity, etc. It’s safe to say many of the folks in Harlan, KY aren’t born of nobility nor do they know what it means. I’m guessing the few who do know or have any inkling of what it means are the ones running things. Avery Markham (Sam Elliott) is one of them.

Castle – “I, Witness” Recap. It Isn’t the Butler.
“What do all cocky men do?” If that isn’t a loaded question, I don’t know what is. What I do know is “I, Witness” is chock full of red herrings, suspects, and a whodunit fit for superb mystery novel. When Eva Whitfield (Brianna Brown), Castle’s (Nathan Fillion) former classmate, asks him to find out whether her husband Cole (Ivan Sergei) is cheating, he gets more than he bargained for. Turns out his new client ends up dead! Queue dramatic music.

“Rule No. 3: Don’t Stand in the Doorway” does a great job of addressing the fears in all of us. From the simplest—Charlie’s fear of the dark—to the more serious—Delia’s fear of commitment, and Abby’s avoidance of Will (Warren Christie), everyone faces their worst fears in “Rule No. 3.”

Sleepy Hollow – “Spellcaster” Recap. Evil Warlocks, Blood Magic, and Trash Talking.
Diabolical and treacherous, “Spellcaster” is a fantastic episode full of evil warlocks and betrayal. An auction house in White Plains, NY becomes the scene of two gruesome murders when a dark sorcerer infiltrates the warehouse to steal an ancient book known as the “Grand Grimoire.” Meanwhile, the return of the prodigal son unveils shocking revelations about a trusted ally. And, for one character, the more you practice the better you get, even where magic is concerned, but will dark temptations ruin everything?

Shameless – “A Night to Remem-Wait, What?” Review. Easy Come, Easy Go
“A Night to Remem-Wait, What?” is, without a doubt, the best episode of the season so far. Episodic writer Davey Holmes outdoes himself with the ongoing story lines and brilliant dialogue. The episode revolves mainly around Fiona and Frank, and both Rossum and Macy steal almost every scene they’re in.

Black Sails – “X” Retrospective. Raise the Black!
Grab a drink and hold on tight because Black Sails is a doozy this week. If “X” is any indication of how dark and disturbing the season will be for the characters in Black Sails, then no one is safe.

Grimm – “Death Do Us Part” Recap. Ghost or Wesen?
Portland has constantly been dubbed as “weird” throughout Grimm, and rightfully so. There are Grimms and all kinds of Wesen running around so it seems only natural that other paranormal anomalies might exist in the world. Are ghosts lurking around Portland or is this a case of a unique Wesen wreaking havoc on the “Ghost Seekers,” a local ghost hunting crew? “Death Do Us Part” is a fantastic and engaging episode. While most episodes of Grimm pick up where the previous episode left off, I enjoyed the diversion writer Jeff Miller provides in showcasing an amateur ghost hunting team as they investigate the “Donovan house,” a home with a sordid history of deadly consequences.

The Americans Season 3 Premiere – “EST Men” Review. The Saga Continues.
“EST Men” unfortunately lacks the suspense, intensity, and passion that was so prevalent in previous seasons, except for the opening scene, which had me holding my breath. That is not to say I didn’t enjoy the season premiere, as I did. “EST Men” is too busy setting up the third season of The Americans to include the same level of action sequences we’ve seen before. It would be unreasonable to expect that. I’m sure there will be plenty of edge-of-your-seat scenes to thrill us as the season moves forward.

Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce – “Rule 32: F-You, Rob Frumpkis!” Retrospective. Lessons Learned.
I can always tell when Noxon puts on her writer’s cap—I find myself with an idiotic Cheshire grin on my face throughout the majority of the episode. “Rule 32” fits the bill, particularly during Edelstein and Christie’s scenes together. They have such amazing chemistry onscreen, I could almost close my eyes and feel the emotions bouncing off them. Of course, director Robert Duncan McNeill deserves kudos for the way he sets up the scenes.

Sleepy Hollow – “Kali Yuga” Recap. Karaoke and Family Drama.
“Kali Yuga” presents us with an interesting dilemma involving the handsome Nick Hawley (Matt Barr). Hawley has always been a private guy; he doesn’t talk much about himself or his past, but his past is about to pay him a surprise visit in the form of Carmilla Pines (guest star Jaime Murray).

Justified – “Cash Game” Review. All Aboard the Choo-Choo Train.
Colorful characters and good intentions abound in “Cash Game.” After Boyd (Walton Goggins) robs the bank in “Fate’s Right Hand,” he’s not sure if what he finds in Calhoun’s (actor name) safe deposit box is worth the “three million” he was told by Katherine Hale (Mary Steenburgen) and Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns). But, there’s more than one way to skin a cat…
