Dean Devlin show has promise, good cast, King Maxwell could be good
when is legends starting
I’m looking forward to seeing Adam Baldwin and Scott Bakula.
Taye Diggs has a history of being a great actor being dragged down by lousy material.(better in five minutes of CHICAGO than all the time in PRIVATE PACTICE). MURDER IN THE FIRST has a great team…Steven Bochco and Kathleen Robertson, who was the best thing about BOSS, and that’s saying something. Looking forward to it.
The Last Ship could be good, I like post Apocalyptic stories. I hope they give it a try.
MURDER ON THE FIRST was one of the best scripts i read this pilot season.
All of these sound really good. Would love to see Sean Bean on the small screen. Post-apocalyptic stories appeal to me so The Last Ship would be something I would check out. Bochco always delivers quality work, so Murder in the First would be a go. And Geena Davis and Scott Bakula in a quirky bounty hunter piece would be absolutely fantastic!
Last Resort was so crappy. It completely missed it’s mark, so, after reading “The Last Ship” I hope that show is a go. Would enjoy seeing both Eric Dane and Adam Baldwin on screen.
The Geena Davis show sounds meh……..Scott Bakula could make it worth while.
Last Ship and Legend.
