US TV Shows - Discussion (Inc New Shows/Cancellations)

talks are under way about tundercast 2011 season 2. season 1 finale was very good.

fx usa are doing a series called powers. its about a police unit investigating cases which involve superheroes and supervillans with superhuman powers. there have been reshoots and recasting of roles. probably be aired 2013.

Just watched The Killing finale, didn't see that coming

Fringe co-showrunner Jeff Pinkner, who’s been guiding the show since the beginning, will not be back for Season 5. He wanted to leave to purse other projects, still a bit strange as theres only 13 epos for the final season.

on e4 and channel 4 they are showing a new show from abc called revenge. its about a young woman returning to the hamptons after 15 yrs since her father was framed for a terrorist attack. she sets out to bring down those that framed her father. she uses their work or lifestyle to bring them down. its funny in places and dark without be dark.

Revenge is great, I highly recommend it.
Emily VanCamp plays the part of Emily/Amanda so well, taking her time to carefully take each person out, all the while looking them in the eye and smiling. I like the fact that you don't see certain things coming, you know who the target is early(ish) on in each episode, but don't see Emily/Amanda's full plan until it's actually unfolding.

my mum stated watching on e4 after reading a review of the 1st in the telegraph tv section and thought it was excellant. normally she does not watch these sort of shows she is more police/detective procdural drama. if she says something is worth watching then it is worth watching. my mum is the boycotts mother of tv watching. i have read the what, not the full story, each episode and there plenty of twists, one twist has been hinted at already. abc have renewed it for a 2nd season.

primeval is back on itv however season 5 (already been shown on watch last year) could be the last one. also there is a canadian spin off called primeval: new world is to be made and shown on space (canadian version of syfy) it will star niall matter (zane donovan in eureka, mouthman in watchmen), sara canning (jenna sommers in vampire diaries) and crystal lowe (ashlyn in final destination 3 (the tan bed death), elena miller in wrong turn 2: dead end). space have said the spin off is to be older, darker and scarier than the original.

I've been planning to watch Firefly for a while now and finally got round to it last week.

This show is awesome - it sucks it got cancelled after 1 season by the idiots at FOX but I would still recommend it to anyone who hasn't checked it out yet (Also watch the movie 'Serenity' after the series).
