Best-bets for Feb. 27: romantic “Rookie,” troubled “Trouble”

1) “Good Trouble,” 10 p.m., Freeform.. A week from its finale, this excellent series has Mariana (Cierra Ramirez, shown here in a different episode) overloaded with ugly problems and handsome guys. She’s helping Joaquin try to expose a cult leader; she’s also co-CEO with Evan, whose near-death left him unable to remember their romance. There’s more here (including so-so show-business plots), peaking with big romantic moments. Read more…

1) “Good Trouble,” 10 p.m., Freeform.. A week from its finale, this excellent series has Mariana (Cierra Ramirez, shown here in a different episode) overloaded with ugly problems and handsome guys. She’s helping Joaquin try to expose a cult leader; she’s also co-CEO with Evan, whose near-death left him unable to remember their romance. There’s more here (including so-so show-business plots), peaking with big romantic moments.

2) “The Rookie,” 9 p.m., ABC. Speaking of big romance, the show’s 100th episode has a wedding. John (Nathan Fillion, 52), who became Los Angeles’ oldest rookie cop, is marrying Bailey (Jenna Dewan, 43), a firefighter and EMT.

3) “The Good Doctor,” 10 p.m., ABC. Kayla Cromer was a delight in a small cable comedy, while making history – the first autistic actor to have a major role playing an autistic character. Now she’s doing it again as Charlie, who went to medical school after hearing about Shaun, who (like her) has autism. They clash tonight, when she interferes.

4) “Shogun” opener, 10 and 11:30 p.m., FX; then Hulu. James Clavell’s novel (based loosely on real events) had an English sailor shipwrecked in Japan in 1600. It became a 1980 Richard Chamberlain mini-series and now a 10-parter. The result is a powerfully cinematic epic, sprawling across land and sea. Still, the opener is a tough ride – dark and brutal, with tangled plotlines.

5) “The Voice” and “Deal or No Deal Island,” 8 and 9:30 p.m., NBC. This repeats Monday, almost: “Voice” is new, with the second night of auditions; but “Deal” reruns the opener. It has “Survivor”-type elements, some good (Boston Rob is a contestant) and some not: Contestants merely build a pot that only one person will win in the end.
