Couch Madness Round 2: ‘Gone’ (Group 2)

In honor of the NCAA tournament season, Give Me My Remote is bringing back our TV-centric bracket, pitting similarly titled episodes against each other: Couch Madness! (Credit for the excellent name goes fellow reporter Chris Hayner.)

The seeding is simple: rather than quality of the hour, we’re going by air date (with the oldest episode getting the #1 slot and the newest getting #8). With Peak TV, this will not include every single show that has used this title; rather, we picked a selection from what was available.

We’re now up to the second round, which will run from Monday, March 28, with the final face-off starting Thursday, March 31.

Next up? “Gone.” And with this title we’re doing something different: There are enough shows for two separate brackets. So keep reading for the first bracket, episode descriptions (from IMDB), and the poll. (For the other episodes competing, check out all the brackets here!) Read more

BOSCH: Prime Video Sets April Return

BOSCH is returning for its ten-episode fifth season on Friday, April 19, Prime Video announced.

Per the streaming platform, season 5 “picks up fifteen months after Bosch has finally brought his mother’s killer to justice, and he now finds himself seeking the truth on two fronts. New evidence in an old case leaves everyone wondering whether Bosch crossed the line by planting evidence. Simultaneously, a murder at a Hollywood pharmacy exposes a sophisticated opioid pill mill, and Bosch’s search for the killers takes him down a dark and perilous path.”

BOSCH: Titus Welliver Teases Season 4

BOSCH is back—all ten episodes of the fourth season are streaming now on Amazon Prime–and the drama is taking on Michael Connelly’s 1999 novel, “Angels Flight.” (“Flight” is the sixth book in Connelly’s Harry Bosch series; the Amazon series has also already been renewed for a fifth season.)

When season 3 wrapped up, Bosch (Titus Welliver) was convinced that he had finally found his mother’s killer: Walker (John Getz), the head of the police commission. But when season 4 kicks off, Bosch will have other pressing issues on his plate.

“[We open with] Howard Elias, who is this civil rights attorney who is representing a man who’s been tortured in police custody, who is going to settle with the city,” Welliver told reporters. “At the 11th hour, he reneges on that, and decides it’s going to go to trial. Obviously it’s not good news—he must have some sort of smoking gun or some kind of evidence that will get a larger settlement if not, destroy many people’s careers. He is shot to death on [the downtown Los Angeles trolley] Angels Flight.”
