New summer shows tryout: Part 1
Jul. 31st, 2014 08:08 pmI downloaded a number of pilots this week to look into a few of the new summer shows that sounded halfway interesting. I tried The Strain last night. While I did make it through the whole pilot, the reaction was rather along the lines of... meh. Quite sure I'm not gonna watch more of that.
Same with The Last Ship, whose pilot I gave a shot last week or so. Meh. Off the to-watch list immediately. I dunno. I just don't like Eric Dane much, especially not in another macho role. None of the other characters drew me in either, and the plot alone won't make me want to tune in again.
Next up will be Extant, Dominion and The Wil Wheaton Project.
Oh, and I realized that there was the lost episode 1x13 of Believe, which NBC never aired after the show was cancelled. Looks like it's been shown in the UK in the meantime, which led to it also popping up online. I grew quite attached to the show, and it's one of the handful this year where I mourned the cancellation. TV mogul bastards!
