Completely different things than Ubi.
I watched:
NIGHT COURT S3E08
A new city initiative has users of the court system rate their experience as positive, neutral or negative. A feisty client causes Dan to get a whole lot of negative reviews and Dan gets singled out for some blatantly ageist treatment by the guy monitoring the program. Hilarity ensues as they deal with him and clear Dan.
THE ROOKIE S7E05
Much of the plot centers on tracking down Bailey's whacko ex-husband. She is sufficiently scared that she enlists help from El Movado without telling her current husband. Jenna Dewan goes seriously badass when Jason knocks her over with a car, then ties her hands with a cable tie and takes off with her in his car.
WILL TRENT S3E05
Will's partner Faith gets an unexpected visit from her mother who needs a supervised place to recover from a leg injury. While there, Mom sees something suspicious going on in a neighbour's window and calls 911 after previously being dressed down for an inappropriate call for help from Faith. When Faith hears about the 911 call, she rushes home only to find her mother missing. Faith, Will, and Amanda, with some help from Angie, start trying to solve the mystery of where Mom is.
PARADISE S1E04
This show keeps getting more and more intriguing. In this episode, we learn much more about Billy Pace, Xavier's fellow Presidential bodyguard and close friend, and Billy's dark past. We also learn that Billy is a hatchet man for Sinatra and has been outside of the mountain and has seen that life is possible, if difficult, out there.
Since no radiation precautions were seen in those scenes, I'm beginning to think that we can rule out a nuclear war as the cause of the catastrophe. I think the isotopes used in most nukes tend to be very long lasting ones - think thousands of years of toxicity - so those would not be safe after just six months. I have yet to hear a single word of dialog that says whether the scope of the catastrophe was just the USA or the entire world. I find myself wondering if other countries are carrying on pretty much unchanged. That might explain why the US, knowing this catastrophe was coming, didn't make any effort to rescue top people from foreign countries who might be useful in rebuilding civilization, if that is indeed what Paradise is designed to do.
