Top 3 TV Moments – January 26 – January 31

By: Malasha Parker

Each week I’ll be picking the best drama, comedy or reality TV and sci-fi/fantasy moments from the shows of the prior week. They may sometimes be equipped with some of your favorite ships or tear-jerking moments. So, keep reading if you are still not over what happened on your favorite TV show this week!

Drama: Station 19, “Indoor Fireworks” – The life-changing moment!

I was not expecting to be as sad as I was after watching this week’s Station 19. In flashbacks, we see a young Ben (KJ Powell) and friends spend a day joy-riding through the woods in a car. A rescue lead Ben (Jason George) to think about that day. As he’s walking to his friend’s hospital room, we see how his pal ended up in that hospital bed. Hearing Ben talk to his friend about this horrific, yet life-changing day brought tears to my eyes. He told his friend about how his need to always be in the action at work was because of that day. I loved everything about how this moment was written. 

Comedy/Reality TV: Awkwafina is Nora from Queens, “Atlantic City” – Nobody takes our outlet!

Lori Tan Chinn has always been a gem in everything I’ve seen her in and it didn’t change with this series. She’s amazing and this episode made me love her even more. Grandma and her ladies are doing their normal Atlantic City activities. When their table is finally available they try to move to it. The only problem is that some other women get there before they do. This causes a bigger problem than you’d think it would. When Grandma and her other friends decide to confront the women, because they need the only outlet in the area, a huge argument breaks out that leads to Grandma getting dragged away by security. It was extremely hilarious and I loved every moment of this scene. Who knew a trip to Atlantic City would get that wild?

Sci-fi/Fantasy: Onisciente (Omniscient) – “I Committed A Crime” – The investigation starts now!

The premiere of Onisciente set the show up for a great season. I didn’t know how I’d feel about it once I saw that seeing through the eyes of the security system from time to time would be a frequent thing. However, the series is good enough for me to get past that mild annoyance. My favorite moment from the premiere episode is when Nina Peixoto (Carla Salle) officially decides that she’s going to investigate her father’s murder. She immediately gets to work on what she’ll need to get a fingerprint and the moment really jumpstarts the show. I’m excited to finish the next few episodes because it’ll be interesting to see how she beats the surveillance every time.
