Pluribus Season 1 30.12.2025 1:27:19
Absolutely Fabulous! We can't wait for Season 2!
Sunday Show - The World's On Fire, Let's Hang Out 28.12.2025 1:05:18
This was last week's Sunday show! Sheila hasn't been on top of things this week. :-(
Profiler: 417 (Mea Culpa); 418 (Pianissimo) 25.12.2025 1:10:35
A real relief to watch some decent episodes and Jared is back!
Profiler: 415 (The Long Way Home); 416 (House of Cards) 18.12.2025 1:29:26
We ask one question after these two episodes: Were they written by the winners of a 2nd -year screen-writing course? Just asking!
Profiler: 413 (Proteus); 414 (Paradise Lost) 11.12.2025 1:06:05
Two episodes with serious problems. Dan had to watch the 2nd one twice to try to make sense of it!
Profiler: 411 (Random Act); 412 (Besieged) 04.12.2025 56:38
Happy that John gets a whole episode but we bemoan the lack of professionalism on the part of Rachel.
Sunday Show: The Simpsons had a Criminal Minds Crossover! 30.11.2025 1:11:55
You will also see Dexter, The Eras Tour, Hitman, Fast & Furious, and Just Cause Tributes. Is M. Night Shyamalan turning into a poor man's Quentin Tarantino?
Profiler: 409 (Quid Pro Quo); 410 (Clean Sweep) and The Pretender S4E10: (Spin Doctor) 27.11.2025 1:28:06
The crossover this time was so much better. We think that the 2 writing staffs must have actually collaborated! BTW: we love The Pretender.
Profiler: 407 (Original Sin); 408 (Train Man) 20.11.2025 1:22:43
Well, both episodes needed some rewrites, but the secondary plots about drug addiction were just weak.
Profiler: 405 (Infidelity) & 406 (To Serve and Protect) 13.11.2025 1:23:47
Flat episodes but we think we finally understand why Profiler didn't last.
Profiler: 403 (Blind Eye); 404 (Old Ghosts) 06.11.2025 1:14:20
A slimmed down Criminal Minds without the bonded staff!!
Profiler: 401-402 (Reunion) 30.10.2025 1:24:29
The Jack episodes are now over an we are so sorry to see it end. Then again, Jack (aka Albert Newquay) was a pretty good child psychiatrist!
Just Josh'n #6: Law Abiding Citizen 23.10.2025 1:39:27
Just a brilliant film until the last 20 minutes or so. Watch it before you listen; it is full of spoilers!
Profiler 321 (Las Brisas) and Season 3 In Review 16.10.2025 1:53:09
Las Brisas was a wash - except for the trial of Donald Lucas, which made the whole episode bearable. Listen to us ramble on about the season as a whole.
Bonus Episode - Peacemaker Season 2 14.10.2025 1:37:16
The beauty of Season 2 is you can just enjoy watching it. When we find out that Hardcourt is diagnosed with "toxic masculinity", all we did was laugh and laugh and laugh!! Then there are the political drive-bys!
Bonus Episode - Creature Commandos: Season 1 12.10.2025 1:16:53
We decided do these seasons/episodes in chronological order, hence the animated season. We assume there will be a season 2 of CC. Loved all the backstories of the monsters!
Bonus Episode - Peacemaker: Season 1 10.10.2025 1:08:42
Full of spoilers. We can't wait for Season 2 to end!
Profiler 319 (Grand Master); 320 (What's Love Got to do With It) 09.10.2025 1:27:27
A cross-over episode with the Pretender that begs the question: "Did The Profiler writing room actually know what The Pretender episode was about?" The 2nd episode was just a mess.
Bonus Episode - The Suicide Squad 08.10.2025 1:10:46
Brilliantly written comic book movie. At times, so funny, then so distressing; Sheila just can't wait to watch Peacemaker!
Profiler 317 (Three Carat crisis); 318 (Seduction) 02.10.2025 1:25:03
These are the dullest and the craziest episodes this show has ever had. Honestly!!
Profiler: 315 (Spree of Love); 316 (Burnt Offerings) 25.09.2025 1:25:11
One brilliant episode with some quibbles and the second was rather a mess!
Profiler 313 (Heads You Lose); 314 (Otis California) 18.09.2025 1:19:00
JACK'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Profiler: 311 (Where or When); 312 (Inheritance) 11.09.2025 1:16:33
Rewrote both episodes this week. Why? Because the second episode threw everything the show had accepted as given out the window!
Profiler: 309 (All in the Family); 310 (Ceremony of Innocence) 04.09.2025 1:09:59
Again, two competent serial killer episodes. But, we still miss Jack. Are we ever going to get a resolution?
Profiler: 307 (Perfect Helen); 308 (Home for the Homicide) 28.08.2025 1:10:35
Two reasonably solid episodes. We just wish that we could care more about the people!
