The first day he wakes up and discovers he’s been accused of killing Assistant District Attorney Alberto Garza. Hopper has a solid alibi, but no one believes him. When his alibi winds up dead, the real trouble begins.
“This guy is being pushed to his limit,” Diggs says. “Every day he wakes up with a chance to do the previous day over and he has to try several approaches. Just when he thinks he’s figured it out, something else goes wrong.”
Watching the same day for 22 episodes might get boring for viewers but Diggs and the producers promise it won’t work that way. “There might be a couple of elements in each show that repeat, but you’ll see them from a different point of view,” says Diggs. “It’s never boring that way. And like him, every time you think you have figured out, something switches up on you.”
“Day Break” premieres Wednesday and the pilot is pretty intense. Its also well done. I don’t know if they’ve pulled me in enough to watch every week, but I’ll give it a second chance.
Stanley Tucci and Mark Feuerstein star in the new CBS medical drama “3 LBS.” It just so happens that most human brains weigh 3 lbs, and the show is about neurosurgeons, so go figure. Tucci plays Dr. Doug Hanson who is more interested in the cases than the actually people he’s supposed to helping. His new colleague Dr. Seger (Feuerstein) is more into the emotional side of his patients’ well being. Together they make one decent doctor.
The pilot, which premieres Tuesday night, was interesting but there’s nothing new here, folks. You’d be better off tuning into “House.”
I don’t usually get into murder and mayhem, but I do like the new limited series “Murder By the Book.” Crime writers Michael Connelly, James Ellroy, Faye Kellerman. Jonathan Kellerman and Lisa Scottoline have selected true cases that either mean something to them or have fascinating facts they want to research. Armchair detectives can follow along as they watch the interviews with key players and the detectives involved. It’s “Clue” come to life, only very sad because these are real cases.
Patricia Arquette is back with “Medium” on NBC Wednesday night. The first episode features Arquette’s real-life hubby Thomas Jane, as a former lover who won’t leave Allison alone. It’s really annoying because he’s dead. I watch this show off and on, but I may catch it more often after seeing this episode.
Every promo I see of 3 lbs. makes me think of Chicago Hope and so I will be ignoring it. Now that you’ve compared it to House, that’s another reason.
And Medium is a surprisingly good show with a highly competent cast that makes their characters very relatable and real. The young actresses that play the three daughters are really good for kid actors.
