Megazver stole mine. I've seen the pilot, and it's really really good (although it's basically just a really long version of the trailer). But I'm excited to see how the show continues for the 13 episodes I'm guessing it will end at.
It is kind of ridiculous that everything has to be a cop show, because the real meat of the show is the guy dealing with two realities. But if that's how you gotta sell it...
I don't mind that it's a cop show. It feels original. And like it's heading in a dif direction than most.
It bothers me more when the glut of cop shows are identical. A lot of the "hot" cop show pilots just read like they could have been an episode of any other cop show.
And you've said it yourself -- TV is all about the story engine. Cop and medical dramas have an endless supply, regardless of if they are regurgitating the same old shit.
Alcatraz and Awake look amazing. I was working on a fairytale-esque pilot so when OUaT and Grimm were announced I was very bitter, but I'm kind of looking forward to Grimm.
I feel this season had a lot of potential, but was a huge let down. Ringer was boring, Playboy club doesn't know what kind of a show it is and The Secret Circle was a copy of Vampire Diaries.
Hopefully American Horror Story will put a smile on my face.
Awake. It's the only one I am interested in. Too bad it's mid-season.

ReplyDeleteI read that pilot, it was terrific.

Ditto -- Awake / REM.

Homeland -- Awesome pilot. Can't wait for more.

Homeland, Magic City (on STARZ in January, it is amazing), Awake and of course, the train wreck that is Terra Nova!
