A bunch of TV news today, starting with the news coming from Down Under where they are preparing a new sf series to be lead by GAME OF 
THRONES' Iain Glen! A six part high concept sf drama CLEVERMAN will be set in the near future where a group of nonhumans battle for survival in a world where humans feel increasingly inferior and want to silence, exploit and kill them. The story focuses on two estranged indigenous brothers who are forced together to fight for their own survival. Otherworldly creatures also emerge into this “real world” dystopian landscape. Frances O'Connor and Ryan Corr will also star.

'KEVIN FROM WORK' TRAILER
FOR NEW ABC FAMILY SITCOM
Meanwhile, ABC Family has released first trailer for their new sitcom KEVIN FROM WORK which arrives this summer, following Kevin (Noah Reid), a young man who declares his unrequited love for his 
co-worker Audrey (Paige Spara) in a letter, believing he’ll never see her again after he accepts a job overseas. But when the opportunity falls
through and Kevin is forced to return to his old job, how will he and Audrey continue to work together now that his feelings are no longer secret?

Hmm, Kevin From Work certainly has potential, but I do wonder how long they can keep the premise going.
ReplyDeletefor ten episodes :) That is how long it will last in the first season
DeleteKevin From Work sounds like another sitcom I'm gonna be hooked with. :P
ReplyDeletewe do love sitcoms!
DeleteAnxious to see Cleverman. Have a wonderful evening, Dez.
ReplyDeletehope they will do it well! We do love dystopia
DeleteI don't recall plots smililar to Cleverman or Home Fires before. Should be interesting. Thanks, Dezzy.
ReplyDeletebe welcome, glad you liked the plots
DeleteI agree with Bob, thinking they can't keep the charade up forever. I HATE it when a sitcom just drags a storyline out for seasons upon seasons.
ReplyDeletelike in BABY DADDY, is Riley with Danny or Ben, with Ben or Danny... than when in the fourth season she finally admits Danny she loves him he gets angry and they go on a spring break.. .now I have to wait for summer continuation to see whom she picks :)
DeleteHome Fires looks interesting. That era never bores me.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the dragging of that storyline. It would need good subplots and interesting secondary characters to be engaging.
me neither, there were great WW2 and WW1 series on telly recently
DeleteCome to think of it, that storyline seems like a subplot, rather than a central focus.
ReplyDeletewe shall see, we shall see
DeleteI've been waiting on Home Fires and am glad to see that it will air soon. I'll get that one fairly quickly.
ReplyDeleteGood God but I love Iaian Glenn. I've seen almost everything he's ever done, but not all. I loved him in Jack Taylor. It's a show about a detective from Galway who leaves home because it's been utter hell. He returns after the boom to the wretched state the place is now in and has to grapple with his past and the present economic disaster.
The days outing was cancelled as The Spawns best friend (who is also getting married) got called into work. Moi was a bit disappointed but hoping we can go next week.
it airs already, maybe some of US channels buy it. You should not miss CRIMSON FIELDS which will air at PBS methinks or BBC America this summer, I adored that one last year.
DeleteThere is something warm in Iain which I like.
More time for you to practice your excited looks and gasping :)
I'll have to wait a bit for Crimson fields if it's from BBC. Should take about a year to get to Netflix.
DeleteDahlink, have I been removed from your blogroll?
Here, I checked it, it will air in June at PBS in USA! It's already out on DVD in UK and you have it on Torrents.
DeleteOnly temporary, dear. Your blog hasn't been active since January, and dead links are terrible for Google ranking. I had too many dead blogs in the official blogroll and they lower my ranking and earnings too :( I will put it back, but I thought you stopped blogging entirely after you disappeared last winter without a word :(
I am not sure if that Kevin from Work has enough juice to fill a whole series unless if they go in the way of the office. Hmmm
ReplyDeletewe shall give it a chance, but I don't like the fact that it is a single camera sitcom, I prefer multicamera ones
DeleteWhat a fun assortment of offerings today, Dezzie. These all look great. It's fun that the fad of Downton Abbey may be spawning more great shows.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the offer... Hollywood has been so poor in offer lately, that I have to come up with news every day :)
DeleteHome Fires trailer is already a tear jerker. I wonder how much tissue I'd consume when watching the full episode. :)
ReplyDeleteyou should try watching BBC's THE VILLAGE. It has two seasons and it is tearjerkingfest
DeleteWill you be making an appearance in that sitcom, Dezzy?
ReplyDeleteno, I'm saving myself for UNDATEABLE
