Tonight NBC kicks off the new dramedy Good Girls, which follows three suburban mothers who decide to fix their financial problems by robbing a grocery store. Beth Boland (Christina Hendricks, Mad Men) discovers that her husband, car dealership owner Dean (Matthew Lillard, Twin Peaks, Bosch), has been both cheating on her and has been lying about the family’s devastating financial situation for years. Her younger sister Annie’s (Mae Whitman, Parenthood) ex is demanding custody of their daughter Sadie (Izzy Stannard, Brad’s Status) and she needs money to hire a lawyer. And friend Ruby (Retta, Parks and Recreation) and her security guard husband Stan (Reno Wilson, Mike & Molly) are in desperate need of money to pay for their daughter’s kidney treatments. Fed up with their situations, the women break bad and rob the local grocery store where Annie works, hoping to get $30K to ease their money problems. However, their situation becomes a lot more complicated when they discover they got more than they bargained for, and are now tangled up in a dangerous situation involving the head of a local crime gang, Rio (Manny Montana, Graceland).

I really enjoyed tonight’s premiere. The cast is great and really play well off one another, and the pilot does a good job of establishing the characters’ relationships and motivations. The series feels much like Big Little Lies meets Breaking Bad. You’ve got the dark secrets these suburban moms are dealing with that ultimately cause them to do really bad things in the name of helping out their families. The series has this nice blend of drama and humor. The women are forced to do some unexpected things, and while they initially have good intentions, things quickly get out of hand and desperation takes over. I look forward to seeing what other twists and turns happen over the course of the season, and if/how these women are about to get out of this situation they’ve managed to get themselves into. Will we see them go full-on Walter White by the end of the season, or will they find a way to still remain good people at heart?

Also returning tonight for its fourth season on The CW is iZombie. As the third season came to a close, all of Seattle was at the brink of discovering that zombies were real. Major asked Chase to turn him back into a zombie so that he could reenlist with the Fillmore Graves soldiers, and he agreed. Liv had a vision where she discovered that the zombies were still planning D-Day—the Fillmore Graves soldiers had tainted the CDC’s supply of Aleutian flu vaccine with their zombie blood. Liv and Clive tried to stop the CDC from distributing the vaccine, but it was too late, and the zombie outbreak had already begun. Meanwhile, Ravi thought he had finally managed to create a vaccine for zombie-ism and asked Liv to scratch him to test it.

Will Ravi’s vaccine work, or will he now be joining Liv and the gang in their daily brain feasts? If the vaccine does work, will Liv and Major take it? (It seems like that would be the end of the show if it did work, and she was no longer a zombie!) Can the outbreak even be contained anymore, or will it spread beyond Seattle? Much of the show has involved Liv hiding her zombieness, so how will the fact that everyone knows about zombies change the dynamics of the series this season? I’m looking forward to seeing tonight’s season premiere to see what direction the show takes this season!

In tonight’s premiere, “Are You Ready for Some Zombies?”, While investigating the murder of a superfan of the Seattle Seahawks, Liv has a surprising vision. Major mentors young, homeless zombies, while Ravi still carries a torch for Peyton. Blaine deals with a threat looming from his past.

At last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, I had the opportunity to speak with the cast/creators of the series to talk about the upcoming season. Check out my videos from the press room.

Tonight I’ll also be watching/recording The Good Doctor, Living Biblically, The Resident, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, UnREAL, X Company, Final Space, and The Alienist.
