CBS SETS BEANTOWN
PERIOD SET MULTICAM SITCOM
Well, that is a first, I don't remember we ever had a multicam sitcom with historical setting! Written by Dan Kopelman based on an idea by Aaron Kaplan, BEANTOWN is a workplace comedy set in a Boston coffeehouse,
where employees and patrons share their lives and experiences while also discussing the events of the day. And that day happens to be in 1773. Naturally, the story will be set against the backdrop of the Boston Tea Party and the events surrounding it!

Hollywood gongfu films are just bloody lousy...
ReplyDeleteThis series has been really great, and that is from someone who never ever watches nor likes kungfu series and films. It simply has great scripts, brilliant characters and very convincing actors and the producers really love their work on it which shows. It is based on Bruce Lees writings.
DeleteNow that I finally got my HBOMax back, I'll get into Warrior. They tell me it's like Kung Fu, but more ethnic.
DeleteI do not know if they will also have the first two seasons. I really like the series even though I generally do not watch violence and fights, but this one had very clever scripts and amazing cast led by my boys Tom Weston and Kieran Bew. There are a lot of characters in it, but they all function well and are all well shaped and realized. They also often have brilliant digressive episodes when they leave the main plot and dedicate the whole episode to some brilliant and refreshing episodic story outside of the main storyline.
DeleteOhhh guess what? Throughout the episode I had a feeling of “Copper” although they are different stories, yet I didn’t recognize your Tom, I guess it’s because I hollered the Rebel Yell the moment, I knew him to be from Savannah. Only on this wall , I dare to come out of the Politically Incorrect Closet; I’ve gone back to my Confederate sympathies. I mean I root for them during the war and their plight during Reconstruction, there was no idealization of their Cause here. And Lee being a Grayback was so thrilling. And your Kieran is sweet O’Hara? I’m a sucker for the Irish and Celts in general, and although now most westerns tend to place them on Villain Square, I’m glad here they seem human, even supremacist Leary, I like.
DeleteYes, Tom was Copper, but we also watched him in World Without End, Dickensian, Troy: Fall of the City, Sanditon last season, and he was general Zlatan in Shadow and Bone. Strange how he starred in so many roles and was always amazing and yet he is not a household name for most. Makes me sad. Kieran also used to read and tweet our block back when he starred in Da Vinci's Demons and then Beowulf. His whole family used to like us.
DeleteI don't know much about the Civil War, who was bad, who was good LOL I never much followed that story. But I generally find American history not interesting. Even The English was too much for me and found it disgusting and boring at the same time.
If I didn't like American History, I wouldn't watch westerns. I found another one today. Walker: Independence, but I'm not going to force you to watch something you don't care about. I'm too glad we coincide in that Warrior is great.
DeleteI had a lovely spotlight on Independence if you remember?
DeleteAnd do you remember what I told you at the time? Something among the lines of Äs a former Western freak, I'm not ready to go there again? "I publicly confess my adiction and my relapse. You don't know yet the ravages that a relapse can cause in a frail old lady like myself. Be warned. About Independence. Typical Warner, it's not as good as it should be, but it's not as bad as expected.
DeleteI'm not planning to watch it anyhows LOL I generally do not watch anything from CW they produce boring prettiness. Django will be my only Western watch this year, methinks, and that only because I liked the look of the town in it settled within an old mine or something like that.
DeleteBrandon Sklenar gets killed on the first episode of Independence.
DeleteOh, noes!
DeleteBeantown could be interesting. Warrior isn’t one I’d get into though.
ReplyDeleteYou might, because it is really fun, and Jason would like it too.
