Yeh heard Lana's in Banshee. hmm

by elitedam Wed 13 Aug - 23:43:05

Banshee is decent but Tom is absolutely correct about the weird cinematography they have going on. I guess they're trying to make it more dramatic but it comes off as forced. It's watchable as long as you don't expect too much out of it.

I think I'm gonna wait until this season of Ray Donovan ends so I can just binge watch it all.

Also, the new season of Strike Back has been delayed because one of the main actors got hurt. That sucks. I was looking forward to some more mindless action especially after watching the poverty version of it (24).

by Tomwin Lannister Thu 14 Aug - 0:36:21

Damn it, I love strike back. Just a nice sit back and relax bullet fest. Also decent acting tbh

Gonna google that shit now see what happened.

by Tomwin Lannister Thu 14 Aug - 0:37:25

Aah, a serious head injury which he's just about recovered from

Good good.

by RealGunner Thu 14 Aug - 0:53:24

by Onyx Thu 14 Aug - 0:55:46

by Tomwin Lannister Thu 14 Aug - 1:00:55

What Strikeback?

Calma MT it doesn't take place in Britain and the co-lead is American

by Onyx Thu 14 Aug - 1:03:15

It is 45 mins, crime, thriller. Will have to check it out. Does it have a bald male lead with a goatee? hmm

by RealGunner Thu 14 Aug - 1:04:03

I'll turn your head bald next time I see you.

by Onyx Thu 14 Aug - 1:04:37

Bots are already bald. hmm

by Tomwin Lannister Thu 14 Aug - 1:06:34

At some stage the american has a buzz cut and a beard if that counts

by Onyx Thu 14 Aug - 1:07:25

Might just about be good enough. hmm

by Tomwin Lannister Thu 14 Aug - 1:08:22

Rest, I'll look around.

by RealGunner Thu 14 Aug - 2:21:07

A to Z - NBC - Premieres: Thursday, Oct. 2

A student of the How I Met Your Mother school of television, A to Z is a romantic comedy that chronicles a relationship from beginning to end, à la 500 Days of Summer. Mad Men's Ben Feldman stars (with both of his nipples!) as Andrew, a true believer in destiny and romance, while HIMYM's ever-charming Cristin Milioti plays the object of his affection, Zelda. (A to Z, get it?) Lenora Crichlow, Henry Zebrowski, and Christina Kirk round out the cast.

The Affair - show time - Premieres: Sunday, Oct. 12

Told from alternating male and female perspectives, The Affair examines the emotional and psychological effects of infidelity on two different marriages. Set in the Hamptons, the series stars Dominic West (The Wire) and Ruth Wilson (Luther) as the cheaters and Maura Tierney (ER) and Joshua Jackson (Fringe) as the cheatees. Bonus: Bunheads' Julia Goldani Telles appears as the teenage daughter of one of the two couples, adding to an already excellent cast.

Bad Judge - NBC -Premieres: Thursday, Oct. 2

This single-camera comedy stars Kate Walsh (Private Practice, Fargo) as Rebecca Wright, one of L.A.'s most respected criminal court judges. But here's the (overused and kind-of-boring) catch: While Rebecca totally and completely has it together in her work life, her personal life is the exact definition of a hot mess. She's flaky, she sleeps around without a care in the world, and she parties like she's still in college (so we're guessing she has the world's worst hangovers). She does drive a sweet van, though! John Ducey, Tone Bell, and Theodore Barnes also star.

Constantine - NBC - Premieres: Friday, Oct. 24

One of many comic book adaptations this season, Constantine is based on the DC Comics series Hellblazer. Welsh actor Matt Ryan stars as the titular John Constantine, a seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult who abandoned his campaign against evil after failing to save a young girl's soul from hell. However, he's pulled back into the fight when the balance between good and evil somehow winds up on the line and an angel named Manny (Lost's Harold Perrineau) tells him to man up and get his act together. True Detective's Charles Halford also stars.

Forever - ABC -Premieres: Monday, Sep. 22

Ioan Gruffudd stars as New York City medical examiner Henry Morgan, who harbors an unusual secret —he can't die. Working alongside his new partner, Det. Jo Martinez (Alana De La Garza), Morgan studies the dead in an effort to discover the mystery of his own immortality. Also, the ladies in the crowd might want to take note: When Morgan dies (and he dies semi-often for some reason), he always comes back naked. Judd Hirsch, Donnie Keshawarz, and Joel David Moore also star.

Jane The Virgin - CW - Premieres: Monday, Oct. 13

Gina Rodriguez stars as a young woman named Jane, and Jane is a virgin! What more is there to know? Well, okay, there is the fact that she's pregnant because she was accidentally artificially inseminated by her gynecologist. Whoops! And to make matters even more complicated, Jane has to decide whether or not to keep the baby after discovering the sperm specimen belonged to cancer survivor Rafael (Justin Baldoni), who's not only a former crush of Jane's, but also her new boss.

Kingdom - DirecTV - Premieres: Wednesday, Oct. 8

Originally titled Navy St., Kingdom is a family drama set in the bruised and bloody world of mixed martial arts. Created by Byron Balasco (Detroit 1-8-7), the series stars Frank Grillo (Prison Break) as Alvey Kulina, a legend in the sport and the owner of an MMA gym who's looking to develop the next generation of fighters. Joanna Going (House of Cards) plays his drug-addicted, estranged wife, while Nick Jonas (Hawaii Five-0) and Jonathan Tucker (Parenthood) play his two sons, who are also fighters. Kiele Sanchez ( The Glades ) and Matt Lauria (Friday Night Lights, Parenthood) also star.

Madam Secretary - CBS - Premieres: Sunday, Sep. 21

Tea Leoni plays a former CIA agent whose former boss, now the president of the United States (Keith Carradine), asks her to take on the role of Secretary of State after an accident claims the life of the office's previous occupant. Using her no-nonsense, unconventional attitude toward politics, she shakes things up in Washington, D.C. while also juggling her home life as a wife and a mother. Tim Daly and Bebe Neuwirth also star.

Red Band Society - Fox - Premieres: Wednesday, Sep. 17

Set in the children's ward of a Los Angeles hospital (and narrated by a kid who's in a coma), Red Band Society is a coming-of-age drama that follows a Breakfast Club -esque group of patients as they such face life-changing (and life-threatening) challenges as cancer and heart defects. Griffin Gluck, Zoe Levin, Charlie Rowe, Astro, Ciara Bravo, and Nolan Sotillo star as the young protagonists, while Dave Annable, Rebecca Rittenhouse, and Octavia Spencer take on the adult roles of the doctors and nurses who mentor them through the ups and downs of adolescence.

Scorpion - CBS - Premieres: Monday, Sep. 22

Based on the experiences of real-world genius Walter O'Brien, Scorpion is about a bunch of nerds who form a team to solve some of the world's most complex problems. (It's like if the Justice League of America traded their superpowers for supersmarts, computer wizardry and hacking skills.) And to give the show a Big Bang Theory-esque twist, Katharine McPhee plays the diner waitress who glues them all together. Elyes Gabel, Robert Patrick, and Eddie Kaye Thomas also star.

Stalker - CBS - Premieres: Wednesday, Oct. 1

This violent and shocking thriller from The Following's Kevin Williamson has already drawn plenty of pre-air criticism, and with good reason. It follows a division of the LAPD that deals with stalkers, voyeurs, and love-obsessed weirdos who target mostly women, often with deadly results. Maggie Q and Dylan McDermott star as our law enforcement heroes who may be more complicated than they seem.

State of Affairs - NBC - Premieres: Monday, Nov. 17

Former Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl is making her grand return to television, whether you want her to or not. In this political drama, she plays a top CIA attache who's tasked with one heck of a job: put together a briefing for the president (Alfre Woodard) to assess the greatest threats to national security. And just in case that doesn't sound stressful enough, she spends what little free time she has hunting down the terrorists who killed her fiancé, who also happened to be the president's son.

Survivor's Remorse - Starz - Premieres: TBD at TBD

This basketball comedy is produced by LeBron James, who we hear knows a thing or two about hoops. It follows a young amateur baller Cam Calloway (Jessie T. Usher) as he lands his first multimillion-dollar contract with a professional basketball team; on his rise to stardom, he'll have to deal with freeloaders, groupies, and giving back to his roots. RonReaco Lee, Mike Epps, Tichina Arnold and Teyonah Parris also star.
