Local news sees the launch of a brand new family intervention show where family members confront each other about underlying issues that have caused a rift in the fam. Watch out for fireworks!
On to some reviews, as Gino looks at:
Marked - A religious former police officer plans a bold robbery with a sinister ally to fund her daughter's crucial operation.
Longest Third Date - When Matt and Khani match on Hinge, sparks fly. They spontaneously fly to Costa Rica for their third date - and get stuck as the world shuts down in March 2020. An extended stay in paradise becomes the ultimate test of compatibility.
Trainwreck Storm Area 51 - A viral Facebook event to storm Area 51 draws millions of signups, prompting military warnings. As memes spread about Naruto-running past bullets, UFO hunters and internet personalities converge for what could be a desert party or clash.
