| Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent |
Eh?! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, October 22!
Our Top Pick tonight is Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent (The CW, 8 p.m. / The CW App, Thursday). This franchise extension to Canada carries on the L&O name but is mostly its own independent thing, much like the UK and French versions. This one uses some the OG Criminal Intent DNA but makes it its own. It's certainly better than the current US L&Os, and better than other CW dramas. Not sure I would hold it up much more than that, TBH.
Elsewhere, the Change is final, Nature is the walrus, Gen V wraps, it's Elementary game night, Sam Claflin is a Lazarus, Mary Queen of Scots has Secrets, and it's always Mob War in Philadelphia.
