I watched:

The Equalizer - "Exposed" - In what I think was the season finale,
McCall goes up against a terrorist cell plotting to detonate a dirty
bomb in Manhattan. In the b-plot McCall helps her daughter's friend who
was the victim of a vindictive ex who put private pictures on porn
sites. Things got a little ridiculous with scenes of a Russian hacker
hacking into the system with his face all over the monitors, but
otherwise it was a pretty good finale.

9-1-1 - "Starting Over" - I think this was also a season finale. I
didn't give it my full attention.

Better Call Saul - "Axe and Grind" - I'm not sure what was going on
here. Nothing was explained.

The Outfit (Peacock) New crime drama that just left theaters and is now
available to stream for free on Peacock. The entire movie takes place
in one location and plays out very much like a stage play. It stars
Mark Rylance as a "cuter" (basically a glorified tailor) for the mob.
He handles their suits, but they also use his shop as a drop location.
Without getting deep into spoilers, I can say events unfold as a mob
boss's son (Dylan O'Brien) shows up at his shop with a bullet in him and
things spiral downward from there with various twists and turns. Like I
said this basically plays out like a stage play with all the cast of
characters coming to his shop. It's an OK movie if you like that sort
of thing. But it has minimal rewatch value.
