Forgot about Luke Cage, he's been in the King stable for a while with his Chicago mafia kingpin character Lemond Bishop on Good Wife/Good Fight.
Kind of curious which way this one goes. Could be great if it sticks to realism like the early years of Good Wife. Could be . . . OK if it trends to fantastical/whimsical like Braindead.
Also, since Emerson and Preston are married, and Preston is already a King favorite, I expect her to show up sometime in the narrative which is always nice. [Reply]
Looks intriguing. I am interested, for the first time in a long time in a network program. Because of this-- I will go ahead and guess it will be not make it. [Reply]
Just wanted to bring this back up. I'd forgotten about it since this spring, but it was all over the broadcast today, and it just looks like it might be a good show, starting in a couple weeks. [Reply]
Michael Emerson's appearance was kind of abrupt and nonsensical. That's my only negative reaction to the whole hour I think. We'll see where it goes, but it's off to a pretty good start. I really liked the intersection of science and religious dogma they're going for, and the way they handled it in the pilot. [Reply]
Watched the pilot last night. Definitely caught an X-Files vibe from it with the True Believer and the skeptic facing what may or may not be something supernatural. I just hope they don't turn the bad guy into the All Knowing Villain Who Is Always Two Steps Ahead of the Protagonist trope. That's a deal breaker for me. [Reply]
