WEEK 6
Week 5 broke the rhythm of increasing episode averages, dropping back from Week 4's 8.1 to Week 3's 8.0. Code Black returns after its preemption for the third Presidential debate but Brooklyn Nine-Nine drops out for the first game of the baseball World Series, leaving Hawaii Five-0 and MacGyver as the only two shows to have aired an episode every week so far. Pure Genius, a CBS medical show about the coming together of advanced medicine and advanced technology, is the last but not least (and hopefully not unluckiest) of our thirteen fall schedule shows to premiere.
Bull - 1x05 "Just Tell The Truth"
"TAC are hired by a rich couple to ensure their daughter's fiancé is imprisoned for her murder, but Bull opts to defend the fiancé instead when evidence suggests his confession was forced."
Bull went back to basics after the road trip it took in "Callisto", with TAC taking a case close to their base of operations. That meant the return of all its tech wizardry and the rest of the aesthetically beautiful TAC sets. The show also dropped the jarring spoken-word introduction, which gave way to a five-second burst of music that will fill in as the series theme (it's an improvement, but couldn't we have a full twenty to thirty second tune?)
Skipping to the client, a chef who grew from rags to reasonable financial stability was arrested for the murder of his wealthy fiancée after an argument at a gala, but Bull took the decision to fight for him rather than against him as previously requested because Bull believed the confession was coerced. That meant the clincher for the case would be to ensure the jury was made up of as many easily coerced people as possible, make them understand coercion techniques and coerce them into giving a not guilty verdict. Which was the natural outcome of proceedings. They even managed to figure out the real killer too: the client's best friend, who had served as a waiter at the gala.
The plot was good and it required less airtime to tell, which gave some of the other characters time to do their work. Cable showed how TAC's research capabilities could provide more info on someone's date (this week, Chunk's) than a quick Google search and Danny finally came into her own when she had to liaise with the original police investigators. Benny was the least prominent of our main cast, but I kind of like that he won't take every case on himself and other lawyers will pop in and out. Finally, a word to some of the editing. A scene where Bull was demonstrating to the public defender what questions he needed to put to the police officer Murphy continually cut between that demonstration and the lawyer actually questioning Murphy on the stand. It was slick, solid editing and a clever timesaver.

VIEWERS: 11.61m (A small dip.)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 1.5 (Ticked down a tenth but superb)
VERDICT: The show is finding a better episode-to-episode balance between plot and character, and the plots remain as interesting and unique as ever. 8.5/10
Code Black - 2x04 "Demons and Angels"
"Dr. Willis goes to help the hospital psychologist Amanda Nolan when a haunted house collapses trapping her and her stepson. In the ER, Campbell asserts his power by ordering patients cleared quickly, but that decision leads to tragic consequences. Mike finally wakes up."
Code Black returned to its old tricks of pinching ER concepts with "Demons and Angels", but we'll start where it didn't. Ethan's connection to psychologist Amanda Nolan led to him jumping to her and her stepson's rescue when they were caught in a haunted house collapse, and when he got them back to the hospital he demanded Dr. Pinkney make a choice: defy Campbell's orders and return to the OR to save the boy, or let him die. She duly opted for the former.
But before I comment on that, there's two other things to point out with this episode. Firstly, the promotional videos which suggested we wouldn't believe what would happen at the end - but it took a while for the show to take us down the road it wanted. Campbell ordered Savetti to let a methhead with glass stuck in an arm laceration sleep it off, and the patient rose up later on in the episode when the sedation wore off (but the meth hadn't), revealed he had a gun and shot up the waiting area, leading to the death of new intern Charlotte Piel. Secondly, with Charlotte's death there was a vacancy, creating the perfect opportunity to wake Mike Leighton up from his coma.
Both decent endings, even if Charlotte's was out of the blue, but the problem is nothing about this episode really resonated. Code Black's new characters have not built up enough goodwill or had enough time to make us really care for them: that's a basic requirement of any TV show that Code Black is getting wrong and that's why Charlotte's death, big as it was supposed to be, didn't matter. Nobody really cares about the interns because they have monopolised screen time and sideswiped our first season mains, like Malaya and Angus, without bringing anything new to the table. Nobody really likes Campbell because his character's a dick and Pinkney's barely been a fixture since Murphy's "upgrade" to main status for season 2. The only part that felt genuinely emotive was Mike coming out of his coma - and we had to wait until the very end for that. The direction of season 2 just isn't working at all, and it may worsen with this brave but ultimately poorly-executed decision.
VIEWERS: 5.67m (Stable now. If it stays here there's a good shot for a season 3)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 1.0 (Stable but just above fractional)
VERDICT: A dull episode that was just waiting for the shocking end to arrive - but it wasn't shocking or upsetting at all. Charlotte down, Noah and Elliot to go. 5.5/10
Conviction - 1x04 "Mother's Little Burden"
"CIU investigate the case of a mother imprisoned for murdering her severely autistic son."
Each of the first four Conviction episodes have been so brilliant in the cases they've investigated, so excellent in their writing that I find it stunning the show is struggling to the point of near-cancellation already. But the biggest winning feature of the show far is that each of the four episodes have been so closely linked from one to the next that it really feels - more so than most other shows I watch - like this is a world that follows itself each week. Hayes can be counted on to purposefully or otherwise wreak havoc on the lives of those around her (today we saw the leaked footage of her swept-under-the-rug cocaine bust lead to allegations of corruption towards Wallace), and even past cases have a knock-on effect (episode 3's treatment of the Landon case and Counter-Terrorism Unit's dislike of Hayes's treatment of their officers both got mentioned here). Add to that the way that all our CIU characters - Hayes, Sam, Maxine, Tess and Frankie - all disagree and take different stances on guilt or innocence with each case that they take on, it's just incredible writing that isn't slowing down.

VIEWERS: 4.74m (It went up but it's irrelevant. I'm going to stop commenting on Conviction's ratings soon. It's dead, we all know it.)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 0.8 (It's dead. That one's for emphasis)
VERDICT: Another fantastic episode and had a slew of great guest stars. The rollercoaster that is Conviction continues. 8.5/10
Elementary - 5x03 "Render, and then Seize Her"
"The NYPD investigate a murder with connections to a kidnapped woman. Meanwhile, Gregson's girlfriend Paige hires Sherlock for an off-the-books task."
I didn't come out of watching "Render, and then Seize Her" feeling let down by the writers, but there's no doubting that this week's concoction left a bitter taste. A rather clever plot about the murder of a man who had spotted a kidnapped woman nearby culminated in the disappointing reveal that she had in fact engineered the whole thing to allow her pre-nup to expire, in order to divorce her husband and make off with a large percentage of the proceeds from her co-conspirator's revolutionary CGI app. Because people kidnapping themselves isn't done enough in TV.
The problem is that the plot was so strong the disappointments don't pack so heavy a punch. And by disappointments plural I am now referring to the second: the subplot, in which Captain Gregson's girlfriend tasks Sherlock with finding out if her neurologist is committing fraud using prescriptions - and using that opening Sherlock insinuates himself into Gregson and Paige's relationship and implants the idea of marriage as a solution to Paige's financial straits. Because proposing can be a thing in only Paige's second on-screen appearance.
Shout-out to the incredibly smart use of a CGI company as a base setting for this plot, allowing for clever manipulation of CGI graphics to misdirect both the audience and the characters. Top notch writing, proving that even when Elementary is bad it can still outfox everyone.
VIEWERS: 5.39m (Decent, but it won't matter)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 0.8 (*Sigh* Watching a show die is not fun)
VERDICT: Despite some frustratingly obvious errors in plot, the strength of the build-up lifts this episode's rating to a generous 8/10
Hawaii Five-0 - 7x06 "Ka hale ho'okauweli / House of Horrors"
"Five-0 arrive at a haunted house to investigate the murder of a medium. Meanwhile, Kono and Adam's romantic getaway is foiled when they come upon a car crash victim."
This was a decent enough Hallowe'en murder storyline, propped up by the unpredictable sideswiping of Kono and Adam. The medium, Marjorie Webb, was accidentally killed by the woman who had been terrorising her: the haunted house Webb lived in had been tricked out by her accidental killer, Julia Hillman, to force Webb to suffer after her lies caused Hillman's father to commit suicide. It wasn't amazing, but it was interesting enough with the holiday dimension to feel different.
But Kono and Adam's trip was much more gripping. Kono had intended to take Adam to Turtle Bay for the holiday, but a car crash victim led them into an ambush and the clutches of a death cult. I have to admit I didn't see that one coming, but it made perfect sense. When Kono, Adam and a third victim escaped later on (using some exaggerated movie-style trickery to break out of their chains), they rushed to the nearest house only to discover it was occupied by a member of the cult and they were no closer to freedom. The ambush scene where the cult members rampaged into the house was actually very, very good - and HPD showed up just in time to save the day.
The Hallowe'en humour and outfits were just what they needed to be, there was some great continuity with Danny punishing Grace by having Jerry babysit her after her exploits at a party the previous year - and of course no Hawaii Five-0 Hallowe'en episode would be complete without medical examiner Max's flamboyant outfits: he shows up for the first time this season (after his return from working in Burundi with Doctors Without Borders) as John Wick.
VIEWERS: 8.36m (Ticked down nearly a million, but Friday was a low night all around)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 1.0 (Again, a small downtick but nothing threatening)
VERDICT: The subplots might have been built around the main plot, but it was they who were the more fun and gripping stories of the episode. Welcome back Max 8/10
Lucifer - 2x05 "Weaponiser"
"The latest victim is an action movie star killed with one of his numerous awards. Meanwhile, Lucifer's concern that God might take Chloe's life in revenge for him not delivering their mum back to him becomes a real threat when his brother Yuriel arrives to force his hand."
I want to get the murder plot out of the way first before we talk about the juicy stuff. Mark Dacascos and Charisma Carpenter guest starred as suspects: Charisma's character used to be married to the victim and had since married Dacascos's character Kimo, before making off with their money manager and helping to kill the victim, Wesley Cabbutt. There was nothing wrong with the murder itself, but where season 1 went too heavy on murder plots and police, season 2 might be going a little heavy on the Lucifer arc. The murder wasn't very complex or difficult to solve as a viewer, and was over by the 30-odd minute mark. That's extremely early in a cop procedural episode for the conclusion to occur - but it needed to fit in the good Lucifer/Mum stuff.
 |
| Yuriel |
Unfortunately, the writers made a huge error by having Maze step in and fight Yuriel long enough for Lucifer to grab Azriel's blade and wipe Yuriel out of existence instead. Yuriel's quirks were a brilliant addition to the predictable format of the show, adding an extra dimension. There's no doubting that Tom Ellis can play heartbroken and guilty, but the move of having his Lucifer wipe Yuriel out of existence seems a bad call given the potential of the character. I was really disappointed by that decision, and it tainted an otherwise fabulous episode.
VIEWERS: 3.55m (Stable)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 1.0 (Hanging around here and will continue to. Not bad)
VERDICT: Yuriel's surprise appearance made an already intriguing arc suddenly gripping. It's a shame that he was written out, since I dropped the episode rating a whole point to 8/10 because of it.
MacGyver - 1x06 "Wrench"
"An old foe of MacGyver's, a bomber named 'The Ghost' returns when an attempt is made upon the lives of an FBI bomb disposal unit. MacGyver must confront his past to save his friends."
First things first: the introductory cut-scenes are back. Before the opening credits roll, Mac has to save himself, Jack and Riley from being buried alive in a car. I think perhaps this is going to be a recurring thing given the length of time writers have been doing these cut-scenes, so maybe I'll have to start marking them out of ten, too!
But once we got into the story, it was a super episode all around. Bomber episodes are bread and butter for procedural shows like this, but The Ghost, an old foe of Mac's who had killed his CO six years ago, took everything one step further by building bombs within bombs. It was great to see a little more into Mac's backstory, and his visiting his CO's daughter in the final scene was heartbreaking.
But back to The Ghost: A citywide chase (following Mac's angry insistence that the culprit really was The Ghost) culminated in The Ghost parking a van rigged with enough explosives to take out a city block outside the venue of UN peace talks - and Jack accidentally stepped on a pressure plate. While The Ghost then escaped, almost the last ten minutes of the episode were then taken up with Mac using his off-the-cuff skills to prevent The Ghost's bombs from killing the entire Phoenix team.
Props have to be given to all of the actors (but George Eads especially) for their genuine portrayals of panic, and the writers for their continually clever inventions to save their characters from certain death. The same cannot be said for Bozer, whose character still hasn't grown into anything important to the show besides being an anchor for the opening and closing scenes.
VIEWERS: 7.26m (Lower still, but slowing down and stabilising)

VERDICT: An intuitive and unusual bomb-centric episode. The tease of what The Ghost looked like didn't really work but the rest of the episode was tight, clever, emotive and informative. 8/10
NCIS: Los Angeles - 8x05 "Ghost Gun"
"Hetty asks Sam to visit the previous mole, Carl Brown, in prison and find out who was backing him. While Deeks tends to Kensi, Anna Kolcheck returns to temporarily fill the void."
After a string of abysmal episodes, season 8 has finally reminded me that the show overall can produce some top quality episodes. I still find the whole Carl Brown thing jarring (for those who don't know this mole storyline began in season 7 and ended with Brown's arrest) since somehow there's now a new mole. I also feel the writers left it unbelievably late to be now interviewing him for the name of his backer. Surely this would have been done ages ago? But then, hell if it wasn't a great subplot. LL Cool J playing intense and threatening is always a treat, and the actor who plays Carl Brown is fantastic.

| Bar Paly as Anna Kolcheck, arresting the murderer |
However, the writers have finally reached out for a part-time replacement for Kensi, a character who should have been called in the previous episode, if you ask me. Anna Kolcheck, the daughter of frenemy arms dealer Arkady Kolcheck, has dropped by for a part-time job at OSP before she goes for a job at ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms). Bar Paly, who plays her, has excellent chemistry with Callen, so while it will throw about the pairings a little I'm more than happy to see her back. Plus, if she lands that ATF job there'll be opportunities for her to guest star in the future, too. I'm very happy with this.
VIEWERS: 11.40m (Back up over 11m. Stupendous)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 1.7 (Season high)
VERDICT: Bringing Bar Paly back for a short while was an ingenious if belated move and it freed up all the other characters to advance other plots. 8.5/10
Pure Genius - 1x01 "Pilot"
"Tech billionaire James Bell hires renowned surgeon Dr. Walter Wallace to join his team. During Wallace's trial visit, he, Bell and the rest of the team use a combination of advanced medical and technological sciences to treat a comatose young girl, a pregnant lady with cancer and save the life of a paramedic who suffered a heart attack."
Pure Genius's premiere wasn't pure genius, but what weighed it down wasn't poor writing or bad acting: the problem was simply that it was the premiere. Something I've noticed across new drama shows I've picked up this year is that their premieres are always heavy on premise, low on character, and Pure Genius doesn't buck the trend. It roars into life as tech titan James Bell, billionaire creator of revolutionary hospital Bunker Hill, receives Dr. Walter "W" Wallace and immediately wows him with 3D printing devices and advanced medical monitoring technology as he whisks him on a fast-paced tour of the facility.
 |
| The Bunker Hill facility |
That meant important things like Bell's revealing he has the G.S.S. gene ("ALS on steroids" - we all remember the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge), or the pregnant lady with cancer whose husband was abusing her didn't quite get the sensitive treatment they deserved. But by-the-by this was a resounding premiere. It set the tone, it introduced the characters (and balanced them well) and managed to wow with some of the unbelievable medical technologies available.
Most importantly, when (from the jaws of death) the lives of all the patients were saved, and the Bunker Hill staff (and especially James Bell) were exuberantly celebrating, it was hard not to feel like something incredible was accomplished: it was hard not to feel good. There will have to be down moments in the future, but when James Bell's vision truly works it's understandable the team should celebrate - and unsurprising that we should too. And being able to make an audience feel genuinely good is a wonderful and rare attribute for a TV show to have. But I think Pure Genius has it.
And that's pure genius.
VIEWERS: 6.23m (Was hoping for about a million more, but that's an OK figure.)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 1.0 (Was more comfortable before this adjusted down two-tenths. A low premiere but on a night where all CBS shows adjusted down. I'll hold out hope.)
VERDICT: Fell into all the natural premiere episode traps and whizzed by a little too quickly, but there's bags of potential here. 8/10
Quantico - 2x04 "Kubark"
"The FBI strikes a deal with the terrorists: one hacker the terrorists demanded receive a Presidential pardon in exchange for 1667 hostages. In the past, Owen and Lydia run a mission with the recruits to train them to handle themselves in all situations - by manipulating their worst fears."
There's no better place to start than the past: the recruits' training at The Farm. The exercise of the week saw recruits strapped with a biolink device that monitored their stress rates and fed that information to Owen's phone. It was a good lesson and a logical step for the recruits at this early stage of the season, and drew out at a perfect time a number of details of people's pasts. We know that Brit Harry Doyle had a friend who killed himself, Dayana struggles with the thought of being disgraced as a lawyer, Booth was manipulated when Lydia sent him a parcel supposedly from the Liam O'Connor (the terrorist in season one) estate, and Alex was outed for being such a self-doubter. It was all interesting stuff at just the right time for these minute details to be revealed - although why Harry met with Will Olsen will be answered at a later date. Also, Owen and Lydia begin a secret investigation into why his mission went wrong and he was sent to The Farm to instruct new recruits; their relationship is getting tasty.
Meanwhile the terrorism plot explodes. The hacker the terrorists demand be sent to them points Shelby in the direction of emails he planted in her company servers, emails that reveal to her Miranda is working with the terrorists. That twist had to come soon, too, and it will make the FBI side of things very precarious: an absolute joy to anticipate. Alex tries to stop the hostages being released - (because to force the terrorists to keep them creates numerous problems for them) but ultimately fails and the episode ends with a dozen heavily armed terrorists barging into the building where Alex is hiding. A stupendous end that is going to lead to an action-packed fifth episode.
VIEWERS: 2.79m (series low)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 0.7 (series low)
VERDICT: Full of cliffhangers and teasers, and sped everything up massively. A super episode, but that isn't reflected in the shocking ratings. 8.5/10
Scorpion - 3x04 "Plight at the Museum"
"Scorpion are hired by a museum to discover why mould is growing quickly on a one-of-a-kind piece, but are quickly sidetracked when thieves break in to extract a rare metal from another piece for use in building a dirty bomb."
Following the explosive reveal that Happy and Walter were legally married, "Plight at the Museum" depicted Toby's shock, his demands they expedite Walter's citizenship so he can divorce her, and his over-protective new-dad-to-be behaviour, all constructed around a high-intensity plot where they are locked unarmed in a museum with gun-toting thieves.
It was as intense in both areas as you would expect it to be. Scorpion offered nothing dramatic or creative with its obstacles (Toby forgetting a compound to regenerate the lost areas affected by mould, for example), but it didn't need to. The focus was so heavily on Toby's reaction to the news. Walter and Happy deciding to expedite Walter's citizenship (in order to divorce and have Walter legally able to remain in America), is leading to a longer arc that has brought in an angry, unswerving citizenship lawyer - and Walter and Happy to have to learn each other's behaviours by spending as much time in each other's company as possible, much to Toby's dismay. I don't think Scorpion would let Walter lose his citizenship (or maybe they would and would have an arc similar to the manner of Castle's private investigator one [where Castle was forced out of his position as a civilian consultant and got his PI licence before eventually being allowed back]), so I'll just enjoy the humourous sides of this (so far) well-thought-out arc.
VIEWERS: 7.03m (No concerns)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 1.2 (Just below average; still no concerns)
VERDICT: Funny, clever, the museum was a great setting, Tim didn't feature and Ralph made a cameo at the end. Great episode. 8/10
Westworld - 1x04 "Dissonance Theory"
"Despite pressure from Theresa and the board, Ford presses ahead with constructing his costly and time-consuming new narrative. William and Logan take Dolores with them on their quest to find Slim. Maeve discovers her world is a lie, while the Man in Black breaks Hector out of prison and meets with a tattooed woman to further his quest to find 'The Maze'."
If any of the audience weren't aware that Guests couldn't die before this episode, then this is one they should pay attention to, as we are reminded of that rule nearly every scene. The Man in Black, whose cameo appearance last week was offset by over-indulging him with airtime this week, seemed to revel in his immortality within the Westworld game; elsewhere, Logan had no problems reminding William that they can't come to any harm and should therefore just do what they like.
But there was nothing overly compelling about "Dissonance Theory". It had a ton of blood and "killing", but by this point it's there for shock value rather than story; meanwhile, the focus was so sharply on the inside of Westworld that the larger political machinations became background, with Anthony Hopkins again getting barely any scenes. Even Stubbs's appearance amounted to nothing more than reminders that the Hosts are going off-course.
It's clear there's a growing story but the slow burn isn't working for me. There's so much to say and yet so little, and in between all of it the biggest issue is the quiet amble this first half of the season is taking. The promos promised breathtaking and action-packed, but so far it's been drawn-out and dull.
VIEWERS: 1.698m (Took a sizeable hit due to The Walking Dead premiere, but still huge numbers)
DEMOGRAPHIC SHARE: 0.7 (Matches its series low, but is still seriously high for HBO)
VERDICT: The slow tempo is becoming a drag, tainting the decent storytelling and acting that each week provides. 6.5/10
QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
Lucifer [tries to take picture with the victim's body]: "For the Insta!"
LAST WEEK'S ROUNDUP:
NEXT WEEK'S ROUNDUP: (will be posted here when complete)
Final thoughts
Ratings across the week were affected by the baseball World Series' return. The brilliant writing of Conviction, Quantico and Elementary didn't slow, however, even if their ratings are pushing them all ever closer to cancellation. MacGyver and Bull's ratings decreases are becoming less huge, while Lucifer is stabilising in the mid 3-4m range: respectable for a FOX show. Westworld continued to flit up and down ratings-wise but despite its equally fluctuating writing quality, retained a high demo share. NCIS LA continued to exceed expectations ratings-wise (and shot up in quality, too). Hawaii Five-0 took a hit in viewers but Scorpion rose back up to over 7m, while the Pure Genius premiere went from fairly decent to fractional in the time it took for TVByTheNumbers to put up the final Thursday ratings.
Thanks for reading everyone and I'll see you all next time!
