You may not get a second chance to watch Second Chance, Fox putting it out to the Friday night pasture.

It's an interesting take on the idea of a demi-superhero, but I can't decide whether or not I like it.

Spoiler

The regeneration part seems too contrived.

It might be more interesting if he used his "powers" more often, I still don't know.

The guy who plays the son was ok in White Collar but he seems to be typecast now, playing another cop. And his acting hasn't really improved. It was Caffrey and Mozzie who really made the show.

It's watchable...but just. Seems to be typical of Fox programs. Never quite becoming "GOOD" shows, but at best, just ok.

Second Chance is enjoyable enough, they are missing some opportunities storywise.

it is supposed to be a modern take on frankenstein (hence mary character as a Shelly reference), but they arent doing much with the concept of monster, creations going out of control, hubris, or violations of ethics. with the dirty cop/sheriff possibilities they could be making better parallels.

i like the cast but the dialogue isnt really up where it needs to be for something like this.

 

[RossMAN]

I kinda liked "Second Chance" shame to see it go.

wrong thread =X

 

[Imp]

Can someone give a non spoiler numerical ranking for the first xfiles reboot EP? I don't want to go to the other thread.

Not sure what you're asking for... Ratings?

oh fuck me I thought I was in the ratings thread, my bad.

The Sunday show had a 20+ million live+3 draw.

The show is "meh" at best

You, Me and the Apocalypse -- 7/10 -- A new hour long comedy on network tv featuring an"extinction event" comet hurtling towards earth (eta 4 days), Rob Lowe as a cursing, drinking Vatican priest who puts his ciggies out in an unused holy water font, Jenna Fischer as a librarian who goes to prison where she fails to win friends or influence people, and a really, really hot actress, Gaia Scodellaro, as Sister Celine.

Hilarity ensues, I guess. We can only hope. I'ma keep watching and see.

One thing for sure, it already beats the pants off of the tedious and endlessly annoying The Last Man on Earth.

Agreed. Billions is not bad and fairly well done, but it's just another soap opera pretending to be something more. At least it's a lot better than Tyrant. Again, Billions is not that bad and I'm going to keep watching, but with the cast and network budget it could have been a whole lot more, imho.

Did you love Suits? You'll LOVE Billions.

If you haven't found him by now, Carter will be lost to the winds as season 2 is the last.

That was basically a teen soap opera. They were running out of story lines anyway.

Just a note that Suits is back on. Wed 10PM EDT USA. Started 1/27

The show has been out for awhile but it just aired on nbc.

It has some great parts in it even with the horrible accents.

Home time is done after 29 seasons. ��

shrug... something that was on TV. I couldn't care less.

I'm incredibly sick of networks calling things an "Event." The X-Files is back, that's fine. But it's not an "Event."

Stay tuned for a very special Blossom.

Stop watching broadcast television. You can't get sick of what you're not subjected to.

Can't we come up with something new? Law and Order first debuted in 1990, it is now more than 25 years old. I think we have fully explored that concept.

There's a dozen better shows worth my time that I have yet to get to. Billions has been cancelled in my lineup.
