new and noteworthy tv: 8/6-8/12

This week’s wrap up included Black Mirror, which I’ve noted is well done but too depressing with its technology doom tales for me, as well as tech tale with questionable doom Humans, and am wondering if we’ll get a fourth season of that. Now moving on to sample Big Love, Fortitude, and A Very English Scandal.

  • Lodge 49 (AMC) Series Premiere, Monday, 10pm – They’re describing this as a light-hearted, endearing modern fable, set in Long Beach a local ex surfer ends up looking for purpose in life at a lodge, reportedly this one is worth a look.
  • Carter (WGN) Tuesday, 10pm – Jerry O’Connell brings another take on the light-hearted with a turn as an actor who plays a detective becoming a detective after a public melt down, maybe just put he and Rachel Bilson together for Take Two Carter, though it’s probably not amazing O’Connell (like Bilson) is likable enough.
  • All About the Washingtons (Net) Series Premiere, Friday – Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons throws down with an autobiographical scripted family sitcom with hip hop artist spending more time at home to raise the kids, who knows?
  • Insatiable (Net) Series Premiere, Friday – So this has been getting buzz just off of the previews for fat shaming as former fat girls is out for payback, I’ll stay tuned for reviews before adding to my queue.
  • La Casa de las Flores (Net) Series Premiere, Friday – This dark comedy about a family running a flower business with the patriarch has to take in his kids with his recently passed mistress, quien sabe?
  • Ordeal by Innocence (Am) Mini Series Premiere, Friday – An adaptation of Agatha Christie’s tale brings light to a family’s maybe murderer(s), looks like a good cast but will stay tuned.
