Final Round of ‘Shooter,’ HBO’s ‘Oslo Diaries,’ ‘Reversing Roe’ on Netflix
A critical checklist of notable Thursday TV:
Shooter (10/9c, USA): In what we now know to be the series finale of the conspiracy thriller, Bob Lee (Ryan Phillippe) determines to take down Atlas for good, but can he rescue what’s left of his marriage? And look for Isaac (Omar Epps), Nadine (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) and Harris (Jesse Bradford) to tie up loose ends and look toward the future.
It’s also the third-season finale of USA’s Queen of the South (9/8c), with Teresa (Alice Braga) rebounding from a surprise attack to once again try to take control of her terrority.
The Oslo Diaries (8/7c, HBO): Also the inspiration for a Tony-winning play in 2017, the historic but never quite realized Oslo Accords diplomatic peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians are recalled on their 25th anniversary in a timely new documentary. In his last recorded interview before his 2016 death, former Israeli president and foreign minister Shimon Peres is among the subjects bringing new perspective to these controversial secret talks.
Reversing Roe (streaming on Netflix): Even more topical, given the ongoing confirmation process in the Supreme Court, is this deep dive into the polarizing debate over abortion rights. The film looks at the history of the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling and examines the motivations of those on both sides, fighting either to keep or reverse the decision.
Inside Thursday TV: A second season of HGTV’s hit franchise Flip or Flop Atlanta (9/8c) puts house flippers Ken and Anita Corsini back to work, starting by gutting and renovating a ramshackle Craftsman. … The scenery’s the thing in Crackle crime caper Snatch. In the second season of 10 new episodes, the gang led by Harry Potter’s Rupert Grint heads to Spain’s Costa del Sol, where they end up working for (and maybe against) a local crime boss. … ABC’s even lighter crime drama, Take Two (10/9c), ends its first season with Sam (Rachel Bilson) and Eddie (Eddie Cibrian) dealing with the fallout of having slept together. This could complicate their current assignment of sending Sam undercover as bait to take down a con man targeting wealthy women. … NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (11:35/10:35c) heads to Central Park for the first time, for a special show featuring guests Blake Lively and performer Carrie Underwood.

Somebody put my comment back!

That also sometimes happens to my comments.
The season finale of Take Two should be lots of fun tonight. I have a feeling ABC will renew this one.
We also have the season (or series)finale of Salvation on Monday.
It was a terrific summer for TV entertainment.

I'm pretty sure it was because I mentioned S-n-a-t-c-h, the show that's in the reviews above. You wouldn't think that would be in their list of dirty words.

I'll try, Snatch. Lets see if it is deleted.
What's profane about that word? It's not even close to a dirty word.
CBS has been promoting the heck out of F.B.I. and especially Magnum P.I.
If these shows are heavily sampled, it won't be for the lack of effort.

Now, they've deleted your post too! It's a old slang term for a vagina. You wouldn't think anyone would remember it. It's not this site but the people who created the comment program for Disqus who made the original list of banned words. The site can change them, and this one has before.

And now, they're back again! What I originally said was that Crackle has allowed free viewing of the first season on their website, and I was wondering if it was the same for the second season. They added Crackle to the Comcast On Demand menu, but they hardly have any shows there.

Don't recall ever hearing that slang word growing up in the 80s. Must be from way before.
-
C
When I use the term "old," I mean from your parents or grandparents time. I'd guess the term was used in the 40s or before.
-
G
Yes, my grandparent's time. Did you ever watch USA's Queen of the South? My friend told me it's his favorite show and he watches almost every show I watch (Salvation, Quantico, Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and others)
Might give it a try.

I DO know...if you were in High School in the EARLY 60's...the term was QUITE popular!!!

I watched a couple of episodes when it first came on. I didn't care for it. I'm not really into things about Mexican drug cartels. It's kind of late to just jump into it since it's in the 3rd season.
-
C
OK...but I'll bet it's from an earlier time originally.

Nothing new for me tonight.
P.S. Burden of Truth was good last night.
-
G
Yes Burden of Truth was outstanding.
SPOILER ALTERT!
Was it ever mentioned before this episode that the affected girls were having difficulty with memory and school work? I thought it was just twitching.
Also now that we know a dead boy once had the same symptoms that really heats up the case. My prediction is that the culprits involved with the illegal dumping will suffer with twitching and incoherent speech during the court proceedings.
Classic!

I watched WGN's Carter again last night. It was more action packed than usual and the tone of the show was much darker. Also had some real drama. The cast is wonderful. Hope we get a second season of this gem.
-
R
Yeah, not only had we never heard of the dead boy before last week, but now we find out he had twitching too. The plot thickens! And I'm glad we FINALLY found out why that girl slapped Joanna.
-
R
Yeah, on Carter that was a good twist about the "father." (heh, see what I did there?) I thought maybe the priest was going to end up being the shooter. But it was good and dramatic.
BTW, ironically, I'm watching an episode of Big Bang Theory from this past season, and Jerry O'Connell is a guest star.

Just Take Two and Nightwatch Nation tonight. Are we going to be able to watch the 2nd season of Snatch free too?
