Solid Selections
Undercovers (NBC): New. Leo wakes up next to a dead woman in Mexico and Steven and Samantha go down to prove he is innocent.
Criminal Minds (CBS): New. The team is hunting a man in the forest that targets children.
Terriers (FX): New. Hank gets another shot at the case that got him bumped off the force. Runs 61 minutes. Plays twice and again later. This episode has the best use of the flashback that I have seen in some time. The episode is outstanding and the way it weaves back-n-forth between the past and what is going on now is masterfully done. It’s my favorite episode of the series thus far.

- The Defenders (CBS): New. Pete is trying to help a blogger stay out of jail.
- Hollywood Treasure (Syfy): New. Two new episodes play. Both play again later.
