When Trust Me [Mondays, TNT, 10/9C] premieres following The Closer, there will be a tonal shift of some magnitude. Whereas The Closer is a darker drama with humor, Trust Me is much lighter in tone, with a nearly equal amount of each. The set up is this: Mason [Eric McCormack] and Conner [Tom Cavanagh] are […]

INTERVIEW: Dean Devlin and Aldis Hodge Talk Leverage, being A Geek and more with Michelle!
Leverage is a new TNT show that airs Sunday nights. The show reminds me a lot of USA’s weekly spy caper – Burn Notice. The difference is being that instead of an ex spy stuck in Miami, Leverage is about criminals trying to do the right thing. They take on, primarily Corporate criminals who prey […]
TELEVISION REVIEW: Leverage: A Little Mission: Impossible; A Little Robin Hood!

Saving Grace: Progress Made In Inches
When Saving Grace returns this evening [TNT, 9C], the series shifts into high gear – exploring Grace’s need for self-destructive behaviour [one-night stands, drinking, taking risks on the job] at the expense of a family, friends and colleagues who care about her. Tonight’s new episode revolves around a school bus accident and a group […]
