Watch The Episodes Of Wolf Shows That Daniel Kyri, Malchus Janocko, and Barbara Butcher Call Favorites
Whether it’s the one we saw first, the one we’ve watched the most, or just the one we love the best, we all have our favorite episodes of any given Wolf show. We asked our recent spotlight feature subjects Chicago Fire star Daniel Kyri, FBI Production Designer Malchus Janocko, and Homicide New York’s Barbara Butcher to tell us their favorite episodes — read on for their picks.
Daniel Kyri
“One of my favorites from Chicago Fire is S7E04, “This Isn’t Charity.” There’s a scene in it between Mouch, Herrmann, and Ritter that I love, where Mouch tells Ritter “Welcome to 51.” Mouch becomes a real mentor in this episode to Ritter — he’s a seasoned firefighter who sees a young guy who is frustrated and down on himself and he responds by acknowledging the value that he adds to the team. There’s something to be said for the power of positive male mentorship, and you really see that play out on screen. It’s special to have these two experienced firefighters sit with Ritter and say “you can do this,” and watch Ritter start to believe it himself.”

Malchus Janocko
“My favorite episode of FBI is S6E09, “Best Laid Plans.” It involves an exciting diamond heist that culminates in a giant shootout in downtown Manhattan. One of the things that we love to do on the show is incorporate places and events that are unique to New York City, and in this case, the agents run into a Cipriani space that’s setting up for an art auction, and the shootout ensues. It’s one of the most ingenious and thoughtful locations that we’ve done, and that we tied into a great set build.”

Barbara Butcher
“My favorite episode of Homicide: New York would have to be Episode 2, where we covered the case of the Baby-Faced Butchers, Daphne Abdela and Christopher Vasquez. These two troubled children, only 15 years old, committed one of the most vicious, brutal murders I’ve ever seen. The irony of youthful innocence destroying life has stuck with me — the fact that children can kill, and I still don’t know why, haunts me. I would love to talk to the perpetrators and understand what happened. That’s one of the perplexing parts of the job — sometimes we just don’t know why. Only in revisiting it can we try to make some sense of it.”
