Last ship seems like Star Trek Voyager on a destroyer with a Capt Kirk wannabe.

Haven't watched that trailer yet, but is that Alice from Luther?

The show might be worth watching just for her. She has a really good screen presence.

And the lovely Maura.

Is this a one-and-done season?

Looks like they're going after a bit of that "True Detective" vibe for this. I'm interested just to watch how they unfold everything. But longevity doesn't seem like a good idea for this.

i hate that guy from fringe. he is ****ing awful. i only watched the first minute of the trailer. i didn't have the patience for the rest. did some crazy murder/stalker thing happen, or was it just standard melodrama?

That trailer is really weak, but I'm guessing something interesting happens (a murrrrrder), and I'm guessing it's Alice(son).

It's not often I see a trailer with a bunch of actors I love and great critical response and don't care enough to even watch the pilot episode.

That was brutally boring.

I actually liked the trailer a lot, but it could be my Wire fanboy automatically giving McNulty the benefit of the doubt

Rush (USA)

About a "fixer" type of doctor....

Hell of a first episode. Some cliche moments and shoehorned exposition. However, show has a high coolness factor and the first hour has some good tension. It seems to be a better version of that show Rake that flopped on Fox. I really enjoyed the first episode and set up a series recording on my DVR.

Check it out!

Have you watched Treme, btw? In this respect (the slow pace etc.) Rectify really reminds me of Treme. I only hung on to it till the end of S1, though. Couldn't handle the boredom.

Rectify was more boring than a trip to Walmart.

Wow, that Showtine trailer looked awful. Got about three quarters of the way through before I died of boredom.

It doesn't help that I can't stand romances based on infidelity.

I liked Rush. Didn't last 10 minutes watching the show after it. Satisfaction I think

Thoughts on whether episode 2 of The Strain got worse, better, etc. without spoilers?

I enjoyed it, about equal to the first ep.

1st ep I thought "this might be good"

2nd ep I think "maybe not"

I watched the first two episodes of the NBC comedy Working the Engels. I thought the Pilot was pretty effing hilarious, and had a really nice dysfunctional sitcom feel, with some great comedic timing on display (good directing, as well). I would heartily recommend that show, if it weren't for the second episode being a major step down. It was still decent, and somewhat entertaining, but it lost a lot of what made it work from episode 1 to episode 2.

The trivia about the show is that its star (not top billed, but definitely carrying the show) is Abigail from Hannibal. It's pretty shocking to see that she has this kind of range. Andrea Martin is top billed, who would probably be most well known for her great work on SCTV.

Eh, might as well give it a shot. All the S1 eps are available, so if it's good, I can do a quick marathon.
