When I first read that I thought you meant LMN was showing a series of 
movies where people were kidnapped in the Grand Canyon. I wouldn't put 
it past them turning that into its' own genre.

I watched:


The Equalizer - "Blind Justice" - I really did not follow the plot of 
this one!  All I got was a mustach twirling villain (I"m pretty sure an 
actor from "Oz" but I forget his name) murdered a guy for reasons.  And 
Krondon (Tobias Whale from Black Lightning) was mixed up in it somehow. 
I also noticed that Krondon's character in this episode was blind and 
he's also playing a blind character on Halo.  It made me start to wonder 
if he went blind in real life or not.  But I couldn't find anything 
online about it.


Shōgun (FX) - "Tomorrow is Tomorrow" - Episode 3.  Lots happened.  Just 
don't ask me what.  I am enjoying the show, but I really struggle to 
follow what's happening.  The odd thing is I headed over to Wiki and 
read some really long episode recaps and everything in the recap I knew. 
  I guess the issue isn't I'm not following the overall plot structure. 
I'm following that fine.  It's the little things like character names 
and what side they are on.  So in any given scene unless it's one of the 
three main leads I rarely know what's going on.  Every time there is a 
fight scene I never know which side(s) is fighting or who won at the 
end.  Yet I'm still following the show well enough that there was 
nothing in the Wiki recaps that I didn't already know.  And thanks to 
the wiki article I learned that they are doing recaps at the end of the 
episode to explain to the audience what just happened.  I caught the one 
at the end of the third and it was basically a recap of the first three 
episodes only in English.


Survivor - "Scorpio Energy" - This was only notable for a wild tribal 
counsel where one of the said out loud who do I vote for.  He was 
begging them to tell him what to do.  I'm not doing it justice but 
withing the context of the episode it was something.
