Primetime Picks… 10/2/18

Tonight the third season of TBS’s castaway comedy Wrecked comes to a close with a special one-hour finale. This season the castaways found themselves trapped on the private island belonging to a wealthy hunter named Declan who forced them to participate in a deadly Hunger Games-like competition. Last week Karen was shot in the stomach with an arrow by Chet, who seemed to have gone wild, calling himself the Chettywompwomp. As Karen recounted her surprising love story to Florence, Danny and Owen went to look for a first aid kit and ended up at Chet’s lair. They were captured and tied up, but Owen challenged Chet to a fight. Meanwhile, Todd, Pack and Jess were in another part of the island when Jess’ bracelet suddenly stopped working. This meant that she could now safely walk though the shock pylons without being killed. As she passed through the barrier headed to disable the generator, the hunters observed this on their monitor started to panic.

Will Owen and Danny survive their fight with Chet, and get back to Karen in time with the first aid kit? Can Jess disable the generator in time, and will she ever get her memory back about her relationship with Todd? Can the group stop the hunters, and escape from the island? This has been another fun season, and I look forward to seeing how it comes to a close. This show always does a great job of wrapping up each season’s storyline while also leaving things open for a future season.

In the first half of tonight’s finale, “Mrs. Stanwick”, the survivors attempt to turn the tables on the rich and lure them into a trap. Then, in “The Island Family”, barricaded in the mansion and surrounded by the rich, the survivors mount one last attempt to escape Declan’s island.

Tonight I’ll also be watching/recording FBI, This Is Us, New Amsterdam, The Gifted, Flipping Out, Mayans M.C., and The Purge.
