It’s Off Season for the NY Hawks. Review: Necessary Roughness – “Shrink or Swim”
When last we saw Terrence “TK” King ((Mehcad Brooks), he was being rushed to the hospital after being shot by a crazed fan. As “Shrink or Swim” opens, he’s fighting for his life in the operating room. Of course he makes it but it’s what he says as he’s wheeled out of surgery that sets the tone for this second season premiere, telling me the wry sarcasm and witty dialogue of the first season of Necessary Roughness is back. “I ain’t dead yet, bitches.”

The Boys are Back and Up to Their Usual Hijinks. Review: Franklin & Bash, S2 E1 – “Strange Brew”
As “Strange Brew” opens, our fearless heroes, the fun-loving legal duo of Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), are in court using some very unusual, seemingly life-threatening tactics to win a case. Cut to the offices of Infeld Daniels where Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell) announces to the partners that the firm’s experiment with Franklin & Bash (F&B) is over. This can’t possibly be true, can it? Of course not! What Stanton means is he wants to ask Jared and Peter to become full equity partners. While F&B’s initial response is comedic, they soon learn two-thirds of the partnership has to vote them in, and that might be a problem.

Review: Girls – “Weirdos Need Girlfriends Too”– Can Marnie Be Spontaneous and is Adam Stupid, Weird or both?
“Weirdos Need Girlfriends Too” seems to suggest there must be someone for everyone in this world. Is that really true and what level of weird are we referring to? This week, the series explores if the romantic ideal holds any weight, not only for Hannah (Lena Dunham) but for Marnie (Allison Williams) and Jessa (Jemima Kirke) too.

Have your cake and eat it too… Review: The Borgias “Truth and Lies”
What I loved about “Truth and Lies” were Cesare’s sinister demeanor and the fear in Juan’s eyes. The Pope seems a bit put off by Juan’s recent behavior and, for a brief moment, I hoped the Pope would push the blade into Juan’s throat but instead he just felt sorry for his son. Admittedly, without Juan, there’d be no antagonism in Cesare’s storyline. With only two episodes left, I hope the animosity between Cesare and Juan comes to a head.

Hot and Cold Feelings Abound. Review: Nurse Jackie – “Chaud & Froid”
As season four begins to wind down, there are major changes underfoot at All Saints. “Chaud & Froid,” the French term for hot and cold, not only deals with the water Jackie (Edie Falco) and Dr. Cruz (Bobby Cannavale) use to revive Charlie (Jake Cannavale) from his drug overdose, but with some vacillating feelings between Jackie and Zoey (Merritt Wever), and Dr. O’Hara (Eve Best) and Coop (Peter Facinelli). This very interesting installment perfectly sets up what’s to come in the remaining two episodes of this amazing season.
