While
I have been keeping track of Blindspot for this blog for a while, this may be
the last time that I’ll write about it if it winds up cancelled like I think
that it might be. We’ll see if it lasts into future seasons or not. I still
have no idea when I’ll be able to watch The Walking Dead and review it for this
blog. It could still be a while as I’m very behind on all the shows that I’m
watching, specifically the ones that I put on tape. So I guess that we will see
what ends up happening with some of these shows.
Spin-off
information- My review of the spin-off will follow later in this post. It will
probably stay for as long as the show is still on. If the show leaves the air,
then I’ll probably cut it. I do plan on creating a new blog for it in the
future. I guess that I will just have to keep you updated on when it might be
released in the future.
Julianna Margulies: It appears
that the main actress has a project in the works. She is working on a new
project called The Hot Zone, which will be a miniseries. I hope that it
airs on the FOX network so I can see it. Otherwise, I might have it here
without much info in it.
The Hot Zone: This doesn’t
have much of a plot mentioned, other than that it is about the spread of the
Ebola virus. It will air on National Geographic. It will premiere sometime on May
27, 2019. There is a trailer now for it.
Thoughts on trailer: This
looks exciting. I might have to look up what happened (since this is inspired
by true events and based off of a book) since I doubt that I will be able to
see this as usual. It could be cool and looks like quite a thriller.
Josh Charles: He’s in
something new called Framing John DeLorean. I hope that I see more from
him in the future or this will be a fairly short segment that you will always
see. It is hard to tell for sure what goes on with some of the projects of his
or other people’s in this blog to be honest. He’s also in something new called The
Loudest Voice.
Framing John DeLorean- It
might be a documentary. Also, I would suggest joining my facebook group Firefly:
Where Are They Now? That will contain updates to this movie as well as it has
Morena Baccarin in it. It has a release date of June 7, 2019. It also
has a trailer now that I’ll talk about.
Thoughts on trailer: Wow. I
had no idea that so much went into a simple car. I’m going to look forward to
seeing what happens as I haven’t heard about this before. It is also nice to
know based on the trailer what type of format this is in as I was confused
about it for a bit. Let’s hope that I can see it sooner rather than later.
The
Loudest Voice: This is a TV show set to air on June 30, 2019. It is
about the rise and fall of Roger Ailes. It will air on Showtime which is a
shame, because I think that I would have liked to watch this as it could help
educate me on what went on.
Graham Phillips: He has had a
minor role on Riverdale’s second season. We’ll see if we see more of him there
in the future or not. He is also going to appear in a movie called The
Bygone. I don’t know if he is doing as much anymore, but at least he is
doing something.
The Bygone: This has an unknown
release date. It doesn’t have a trailer yet. It looks like a missing person
drama of some sort and could be very interesting. Hopefully it will get made
and come out in a format that I could easily watch sooner rather than later.
Archie
Panjabi: This actress did a lot after leaving the show. I was tired of always
telling you about Blindspot over and over again and now finally have a reason
to tell you about a new show she’s doing. It is called Departure and
will be mentioned more in the next part of this blog as usual. Another show
that she’ll be doing now is I Know this Much is True.
Departure: This has no
release date at the moment. I have no idea which network it might be on,
what the time frame of its potential airing could be, or if this will be picked
up as a series or not. What I do know is that it is about the search for
victims of a possible plane crash and I hope that it airs on a network I can
watch it on.
I
Know this Much is True: This is set for release in 2020. It is a limited
series that will air on HBO. It is about a person trying to get his mentally
ill twin to be released from an asylum and appears to be based off of a book of
some sort.
Christine
Baranski: After rejecting various pilots and other projects in the hopes of
getting a spin-off from the Good Wife, she got what was wanted and will be on a
Good Wife spin-off. It will only be available on CBS All Access (and hopefully
DVDs in the future). The spin-off is called The Good Fight. She’ll also
be in a movie called Bad Moms’ Moms. We’ll see what becomes of that.
The Good Fight: It will be put on
www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all
access to those that want it.
It is available now. Expect to see the
same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good
Wife.
Review: Status- It is
available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on
DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I
will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after
losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about
the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently,
there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a
bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this
online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that
happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this.
Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually
steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough
to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if
people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell
for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.
Bad
Moms’ Moms: This has no trailer or release date just yet. It doesn’t
have a plot yet outside of being the third installment of the Bad Moms
franchise. I imagine this would likely relate to the end of Bad Moms Christmas.
Still, I hope that they come up with a better title for it. Is there something
wrong with “Bad Grandmas” as a title?
Matt Czuchry: All of this time
that you’ve seen me doing updates for him in this blog, you only saw me
mentioning the reboot of Gilmore Girls. Well, I can finally take that off the
update list and report on something new he is finally doing. It is a TV show
called The Resident.
The Resident: This is a show
that is currently on FOX. I’m not sure if there’s a better way of
putting it than calling it a medical drama, which is what it would be. The main
thing that would make it different is it focusing more on medicine than other
shows have, according to one description that I read of it. That description
may be wrong upon seeing the trailer, although I’d have to see the show to know
for sure. A review of the show now follows.
The Resident: Status- Currently on FOX at 8/7 Central on Mondays.
Why I’ve seen it- I watched this for my Good Wife blog and to fulfill my
promise to watch a midseason replacement on FOX this season. Description- This
is a medical drama that features different doctors, some new, and there are
various problems at the hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot
that is hard to sum up easily. It should make more sense as it goes along.
Notable People- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good Wife and
Gilmore girls. It also has Emily VanCamp who starred on Brothers and Sisters as
well as Revenge. Pros- It points out the flaws that can happen in a hospital,
but does it in a good way. It can seem more humanizing than most medical dramas
that I’ve seen in the past. Cons- It seems similar to House. The lead can be
strange and arrogant. Note to Parents- It airs with a content adversary warning
in some episodes so that’s all you really need to know about it.
Recommendation- I’d say that this is good to stay into if you want to. My
Viewing Habits- I plan to watch this until the very end. Whether I’ll be able to
see every episode or not remains to be seen. Prediction- It is hard to tell for
sure this early, but I think that it might last a bit for now. Reception:
mixed. Grade: B.
Makenzie
Vega: She has been working since The Good Wife ended. Sadly, she hasn’t been
doing that much. I haven’t been able to find something that I could review just
yet. I hope that she ends up doing something good soon. Otherwise, I guess this
will be one less person to worry about. She will be in something called InstaFame.
InstaFame:
This has no release date just yet. It’s about a person who frames their
best friend for murder. I’m not sure why that would be, but I guess that I’d
have to see the movie to find out why this would be the plot of it.
Alan Cumming: Here’s an actor
who’s known for starring in Broadway plays and productions. Perhaps you have
seen him on the Tony Awards that you always watch because you can’t afford to
see Broadway any other way. It looks like he has a lot of future projects in
the works. He is doing something called Instinct. Another thing that he
is in is called Bright in a Hollow Sky. Yet another thing that he
appears to be doing is a TV movie called Going Back. There’s also a new
project called Run. Another new thing he’s doing is called Dunes of
Overveen. That’s a lot.
Instinct: You’ll find out more
information about this in the next paragraph where I review the show. It is
on hiatus now until the second season starts on June 16, 2019. I
don’t know what else to say about it as you can find out more information about
it in the next paragraph.
Instinct: Status- Currently on hiatus until season 2 starts. Why
I’ve seen it- I normally always watch a CBS show at least once. Noteworthiness-
This is adapted from a James Patterson book. Description- It is hard to tell
for sure that much about it right off the bat, but it seems to be about a
professor and author who is starting to work with the police to solve crimes.
Notable People- This has Alan Cumming who is known for being on Broadway and
formerly starring in The Good Wife. Pros- It seems pretty interesting in some
places. Cons- It can seem too similar to the show Castle in some ways. It
doesn’t seem entirely original just yet. Note to Parents- This has the same
sort of things wrong with it that you’d find in most shows. Recommendation- I
think that it is good to watch if you like the average murder mystery. My
Viewing Habits- I plan to keep watching this until the very end and have
watched since the first episode. Prediction- I don’t think this will last. Reception:
mixed. Grade: B-.
Bright in a Hollow Sky: This
is a movie about people trying to find what they have lost by going on a road
trip to do so. It doesn’t have a release date or trailer just yet.
Hopefully it can do better than other projects where nothing seems to come from
it.
Going Back- This does not
have a release date or trailer just yet. It focuses on a man who creates a
frenzy by pretending to be a teenager. It seems to be set in Scotland, so that
might be where it might be released. Hopefully, it will be released here too.
Run:
This has no release date, but it does have a trailer. The plot is about
a man who seems to have lost something important and will try to live life in a
different way from this point forward. I’m guessing that running in some way
will factor into the plot. It might be out, but I can’t find much information
about it right now.
Thoughts on trailer: This
looks very good and interesting, although I’m not sure that I can make anything
out of the plot just yet. I’ll have to see what becomes of it in the future.
Whatever it is, I hope to see it and want to watch it, not just out of an
obligation to doing this blog in the future.
Dunes of Overveen: This is a
movie about World War II and how artists were turned into soldiers. It has no
release date right now. I hope to find out more about this later and I guess
we’ll see what becomes of it in the future.
Zach Grenier: Well, he’s
finally doing a project. It is a TV movie called Devs. It looks like it
will be moving forward in the future. I’ll explain more of what it is soon. I’m
glad to see that he is doing something. I had a practically blank spot here for
a while.
Devs: It will be airing on FX
at some point. It seems like it could be interesting as it relates to a missing
person and a development division in a company. It’s a shame that I probably
won’t be able to see it anytime in the future. It has a release year of 2019.
The news says that this will be on BBC now instead of FX. Will I be able to see
it? I have no idea.
Matthew Goode: He has been
doing a lot of projects since leaving The Good Wife. I might as well get to
mentioning all of them. Another new project he’s in is called Four Kids and
it. He’s done so much and keeps doing more. I also don’t know if either of
those last two projects are still moving forward. Yet another potential project
of his is called A Discovery of Witches, which would be a TV show.
Another new thing he appears to be doing is Medieval. Yet another movie
he’ll be in is Kingsman: The Great Game. He is in a lot and hopefully
they will all get made at some point.
Four Kids and it: This looks
like another in a line of kids finding some magical creature film. I liked
these as a kid, although I’m not sure that I’ll still have the same fondness as
an adult. Hopefully I can. There is no trailer of specific release date for it
yet. It changed from 2017 as the year to an unknown year. I do hope that
they can come up with a better name for it than what they have now. It is a
good thing that I kept this in the update as it appears that he will be in this
after all if all still moves forward the same way as he might be in this again.
A Discovery of Witches: This is
out now. It will air on the Sky network which I think is British and not
American meaning that I doubt that I’d be able to see it. The plot makes it
seem like a supernatural show that has witches and vampires who have to work together
even though they shouldn’t trust each other. It has a trailer now:
Thoughts on trailer: This
seems mysterious and possibly interesting. It does seem to have some of the
usual concepts of forbidden love and could wind up focusing too much on sex in
some places that it probably shouldn’t. I just wish that it would air in the
US. Maybe it will in the summer of 2019 on the CW. Otherwise, you’ll just see
it here in these updates for as long as I keep it here.
Medieval: This is a movie set
to be released sometime in 2019. I don’t know if this is based on a true
story or not. But it seems like it is about two people and how they seek to win
against an army of people. They probably have people helping them with it.
Kingsman: The Great Game- This
looks like it will be a prequel to the Kingsman series of movies. I’ll probably
post review of the other movies in the series at some point. That will at least
give me an excuse to watch them again. Its release date is currently set to be
on February 14, 2020.
Cush Jumbo: In addition to
doing The Good Fight, there’s at least one other project that she is
doing, a short called Toads & Bluebottles. She’s also going to star
in the same movie as Jeffrey Dean Morgan called The Postcard Killings.
The Good Fight: It will be put on
www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all
access to those that want it.
It is available now. Expect to see the
same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good
Wife.

but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last
a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be
hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade:
B.
Toads & Bluebottles: This
is going to be a ten minute short. There’s no trailer or release date for this
just yet. I’m not sure how to see most shorts. I think that most of them are
hard to come by. It is listed as in preproduction. I was able to find the plot:
it’s an animated story about imaginary people doing a life journey in just ten
minutes. Will it be good? I have no idea. I’d have to see it, or at least a
trailer for it, to know for sure. The year of release is an unknown time.
The Postcard Killings: This
has no release date at this time. It is about a person trying to solve
the murder of his daughter and other crimes that seem related to it. It could
be interesting, even if it sounds gruesome possibly.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: He is now
in the cast of The Walking Dead. Another thing that he appears to be in
is a movie called Walkaway Joe. He’s also in something new called The
Postcard Killings. That’s all I can find about him for this update.
The Walking Dead: This is a
popular gory cable zombie drama about humans trying to save themselves from
what is known as The Walking Dead. I honestly haven’t seen it, so I don’t know
if it is as good as everyone makes it seem.
Review: Status- Why I’ve seen
it- Noteworthiness- Description- Notable People- Pros- Cons- Note to Parents-
Recommendation- My Viewing Habits- Prediction- Reception: Grade:
Walkaway Joe: This doesn’t
have a release date yet. It appears that it will be about the friendship
between a man and a kid. It might be a western, but it is hard to tell that
much about it just yet. I hope that it gets made.
The Postcard Killings: This
has no release date at this time. It is about a person trying to solve
the murder of his daughter and other crimes that seem related to it. It could
be interesting, even if it sounds gruesome possibly.
Robert King: Here is where we
switch to writing credits. He and his wife are helping with The Good Fight.
He’s also doing a TV show called Evil. We’ll see if that makes it past
the pilot phase. He’s working on another TV show called Girls with Guns.
The Good Fight: It will be put on
www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all
access to those that want it.
It is available now. Expect to see the
same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good
Wife.

B.
Evil: This looks like it could
be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical
one woman, two men set up. This does not have a release date yet. We’ll
see what becomes of this potential TV show later.
Girls with Guns: Not much is
known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right
now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown
when this is coming out. I could not find out more information upon further
research as I doubt google would be helpful with this.
Michelle King: Since she is
married to the previous person, it would appear that she would probably have the
same projects in the works as her husband. This section may be redundant since
any similar projects that these people have would be the same thing and thus
have the same information. She is working on The Good Fight. She’s also
doing Evil and Girls with Guns.
The Good Fight: It will be put on
www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all
access to those that want it.
It is available now. Expect to see the
same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good

more of a plot beyond that is unknown.
Former projects: From now on,
a list of projects that the cast has done of things that once had them in it
but no longer do will be mentioned in this section below. It will largely be
used to keep track of TV shows that used to star these people and what became
of these shows. It might be used on occasion for other things as well,
depending on what I feel would work here. This includes Blindspot. More
might come later. I’m also going to include The Upside here as well.
Blindspot: This show is on NBC
at 8/7 Central on Fridays. A review will follow. This is the show about a
woman who wakes up with amnesia and uses her tattoos to solve crimes. The plot
has evolved some in more recent seasons, but enjoy this standard review
nonetheless.
Review: Blindspot: Status- Currently on NBC at 8/7 Central on Fridays. Why
I’ve seen it- I was interested in the idea of it. Description- For mysterious
reasons, a woman has amnesia and tattoos all over her body and there are crimes
solved based off of this. Pros- The show is intriguing and interesting. Cons-
The show may seem a bit scatterbrained and it seems like they are trying to do
a female version of Jason Bourne. The show can seem similar to other types of
dramas in a way. It can also be more violent than it needs to be. Note to
Parents- I’d say that this is something that teenagers can watch, but not any
younger than that. I think that all the episodes I’ve seen thus far were TV14.
Recommendation- I’d say that this is worth watching. Prediction- I’m not sure
that I have a high hope for the show at the moment. I could be proven wrong,
but Fridays aren’t a good time for a show to be at. It seems likely to end in
the future. Reception: positive. Grade: B+.
The Upside: I can’t remember
what all I said about this movie in the past, although I’m sure that I could
find the information if I check the archives of this blog. While this either was
or is in theaters, I will keep track of when this is released to DVD. The
planned release date is currently May 21, 2019.
