Only one new show. Let’s do this.
Marvel has a new show on ABC called Inhumans. I tried to figure out a Holly synopsis, but I’ve got to cut and past this one. From TVLine: Marvel’s Inhumans stars Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels) as Black Bolt, king of the Royal Family of Attilan, a cloaked city situated inside a crater on Earth’s moon. A society of people whose individual powers are awakened by terrigen crystals, the Inhumans have somewhat peacefully resided in Attilan, but the emergence of the occasional Inhuman on Earth has roused a debate. Black Bolt believes that Earth’s Inhumans can be tracked down by the operative Triton (Mike Moh) and brought to Attilan, while his brother Maximus (Game of Thrones‘ Iwan Rheon) strongly believes the opposite, that it is time for all Inhumans to relocate to(and take over?) Earth. Serinda Swan (Graceland) plays the Royal Family’s queen, Medusa, while Isabelle Cornish is her sister Crystal, the princess. Among the good guys, Ken Leung (Lost) and Eme Ikwuakor play the “visionary” Karnak and guardian Gorgon, while the baddies include Sonya Balmores (Beyond the Break) as Maximus’ ruthless right hand, Auran. Barely glimpsed in the IMAX edit (though perhaps given more screen time in the ABC premiere’s “extra minutes”?) is Ellen Woglom as Louise, a NASA-type wonk who in the early frames gets wind of something being amiss on the moon.
If you followed that and you understood it, then I think you’ve found your show. I love me some Marvel and I’m sure I’ll check it out, but it isn’t a high priority.
Other than that, here are some other notes:
--I’m three season behind on Once Upon a Time
--CBS hasn’t changed much, other than two major characters left Hawaii Five-O. A bit of a scandal behind that one, with some allegations of racism since the two Asian actors weren’t making as much money as the two white leads. And we all know how much I love Tom Selleck. I’ll refrain this year from the Magnum PI story. But as we all know, it involves and epic run with Terri Curtis back when she was a Shield.
--I’ve proudly never watched either show on Fox.
--Oops. Never seen either show on NBC either. Not sure what’s in the 10 p.m. spot.
--Both shows on The CW are well-liked, despite low ratings.
Let’s look at Saturday
Okay, now that we’ve established there isn’t much on, it is the perfect night to catch up on your DVR or watch a lot of true crime stuff.
Believe it or not, I’m going to try and round up the stuff you should be watching from other sources. So we have at least one more blog this fall!
This just in: From long time friend and blog reader Sally, who is often sad and impressed with my new found lack of television watching, she has reviewed both SEAL and Brave. "SEAL was very predictable. Currently watching Brave. So far we like Brave better. John is pretty critical of the acting in SEAL, but they are really the same show. Brave has the better soundtrack!"
Also This is Us...delivered on the season premiere. Em's exact quote was, "I was not prepared for the emotinal rollercoaster this evening."
Happy viewing, y'all.
