NCIS: Hawai'i: Breach (2022)
10/10 DRAMA! <3
Loved loved loved the episode! While the whole hacking thing might have been a little over the top, I thought it showed very well the actual, real life vulnerabilities of our societies and infrastructure today, which added to the drama! I loved seeing Ernie in his hacking groove, especially since the others on the team can't talk his language. I'm excited to see where that foreshadowing they dropped at the end goes, which is the sign of a good development! Also I love what's happening with Lucy and Whistler - the way they wove their own personal situation into the action was well done, and I feel like their stances on the situation really accurately reflects the characters they've only had 18 episodes to show us: Lucy with the black and white, right and wrong, and Whistler always seeing the nuance. I LOVED their conversations about apologies, and I'm REALLY loving where their relationship is going. They fell into bed so fast they didn't *know* each other, and now they're building a fantastic, strong base, and what they will have is better than what they would have had!! Love where the show is going :D.

LOVED IT!
I have been so invested in finding out what went down in Kai's past with his father and getting more of a peak into that puzzle was such a delight tonight! Alex Tarrant was in top form tonight and I got such a kick out of his gig in the kitchen. Plus I just LOVE the dynamics of the relationships between Jane, Daniel and Alex - I really love the balance they strike here of people who really do love each other, but the two ex'es have a little too much friction and then you've got slightly rebellious teenage Alex thrown in for good measure! Their chemistry as a family feels very organic and very true. Such a pleasure to watch tonight!

JESSE THE BAD*SS
Love love love the episode! Felt like it was the perfect balance of high tension, but also bits of humor which served to make the action-filled bits that much better. I always love a good "one person in danger" plot specifically to see their loved ones worried and showing how much they care, and NCIS HI delivered beautifully: we got to see their tension and their stress and their love for Jesse, while still advancing the plot and not losing their heads. And to top it all off, Noah Mills was AWESOME in this - total bad*ss, taking names! Great episode!

Love is an echo
Loved loved LOVED this episode. The overarching plots of Jane and Maggie, and Lucy and Kate, and Ernie and Det. Reid, all being drawn together into a message that love is hard, and it hurts, but the end result doesn't negate the good you got from it? Yeah I'm here for it. This episode had me in tears of love and hurts bc I love the characters - truly felt like an example of what I love so much about this show: the characters drawing together and supporting each other. Loved it!

So Much Fun!
I love, love LOVE this show. The chemistry between the cast is so awesome. You can tell they like and respect each other behind the camera, and it reflects on camera in solid team bond - no matter how they pair off for work, I always enjoy it and there's always a good story between them. Having a main cast of all people of color is just so awesome, esp since they're also all so talented. I always liked Tennant, but she snuck up on me with how much I love her, b/c she is such a subtle character - quietly strong, quietly funny, it took a couple of eps but I just ADORE HER, especially since I have never liked the renegade, off the books my way or the highway team lead NCIS seems to be fond of, so I love Jane Tennant. I love how family oriented Jesse is, but also the sneak peeks into his past as a DC cop and how it might give him some hangups. LUCY IS MY FAV - she's so beautiful and funny and I love watching her (not to mention I love her relationship w Kate). Seeing prickly Kai grow into accepting love and family again is being done so well and it's just a joy. And Ernie! I love the way he is un-apologetically himself and the team treats him with absolute respect. It's very obvious they know exactly who this characters are before they stepped on camera for the first time, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes! This is definitely my new comfort show :)
9-1-1: Past Is Prologue (2021)
Disappointing
Athena and Bobby, and Hen and Toni were amazing.
But this episode proved to me once and for all that Taylor Kelly is irredeemable. Beyond the unconvincing acting on the part of Megan West, this backstory she has makes her actions in s2 even more reprehensible.
She claims to care about the truth bc it ripped her life apart, but she doesn't care about finding out who drugged the station?? Her story was plastered all over the news but she's okay doing the same to Bobby? I didn't like her before but now it's beyond that.
This is the lowest rating I've EVER given an episode of 911 and it's solely bc of her. Stop giving Buck a love interest who is constantly regressing him from what he's learned. She needs to go, and NOW.

Review From Someone Who Wanted Diversity
I really really wanted to like this show - I was all for the diversity and thought it was going to be amazing. Unfortunately, this is not an ensemble show. This is the Rob Lowe show, and everyone else is just a background character. They completely side line their most interesting characters for this man who misses the fatherly charm he's going for, and ends up being very grating instead. As a result, everyone except for Rob Lowe is incredibly two-dimensional. In addition, there seems to be a lot of ignorance on this show. Story lines for the diverse characters, 9 times out of 10, reinforce harmful stereotypes, and they never get any screen time that doesn't revolve around them being a minority, so they don't get to be actual people, and they end up being simply bait for the younger, left-minded audience. After 18 episodes, they don't seem inclined to fix this issue either, as it continues to be Owen 24/7 with special "diversity" spotlights. Very disappointed in this show.
