What's On Tonight (Wednesday 10/2): Chicago Fire and Joan

For what's on tonight, I have to choose between watching or taping either: Chicago Fire or the new miniseries Joan. With Chicago Fire the team is still dealing with having a new Captain, who seemed to have left his former job under mysterious circumstances. It's been alluded to twice in the 13th season premiere episode, I'm sure the writers are probably gradually building up Captain Pascal's story. I wonder at some point if whatever the Captain's story is will somehow eventually lead to him being fired. Which will finally give Lieutenant Christopher Herrmann the chance to be Captain especially since the station's former Captain, Chief Wallace Boden wanted him to be his replacement.

As for tonight's episode, Jack Damon is going to get in trouble and according to the description, he's going to go to his brother Lieutenant Kelly Severide to possibly keep him out of trouble. If Jack did something wrong he can't expect his brother to fix his problems. He's an adult and he can't expect special treatment. The new Captain is already keeping an eye on Severide because him and his wife Lieutenant Stella Kidd both work together. And the Captain feels like they found a loop hole to work together. So far the Captain doesn't know that Jack is Severide's brother but I'm sure he'll probably find out at some point. And that's going to bring even more trouble to Jack, Severide and Stella especially since Captain Pascal doesn't seem to like Stella.

As for the other show, Joan looks so interesting. It's set in the 1980s and follows Joan who is in a tough situation dealing with her husband and trying to keep her daughter safe. And somehow she's going back to being a thief and ends up getting entangled in a world of crime. This just seems like it's going to be a very interesting watch.

So, this is my dilemma, which show do I watch and which one do I tape to watch later. I'll figure it out.
