NBC has brought us a good string of new episodes of The Irrational. Will we see a break in the schedule this week? Here are all the details you need.
Broadcast networks are a little short on scripted content, but NBC is making things work. Work on The Irrational got started early, meaning there are plenty of episodes to run through consecutively. However, the show is going to run out of episodes soon, and that will mean a break is coming.
The question is if the break is coming yet. The good news is The Irrational Season 1, Episode 8 will air this Monday, Nov. 13. There’s not a break just yet, but we are getting to the traditional time for midseason finales.
What to expect in The Irrational Season 1, Episode 8
NBC has been very quiet about the show this week. We don’t have a synopsis or a promo for it.
This is something NBC has done in the past with The Blacklist, but not with a new show like The Irrational. The decision doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it could just be a sign that the series is performing well enough for the network.
What we are expecting is another case of the week. This case of the week format still works well for broadcast TV. It brings different faces and some intriguing facts, especially with a show like this. We still have the overarching storyline of the bombing at the same time. That’s surely something else to come up.
Remember that we know the bombing storyline is going to come to an end at the end of this season. It’s not something that will be dragged out. It will be interesting to see how Alec is once he has all the pieces of the puzzle, and whether getting some answers will help him remember more about the bombing.
The Irrational airs Mondays at 10/9c on NBC and streams on Peacock the following day.
