Based on the Hellblazer comic, Constantine is determined to solve some new problem, in the wake of condemning himself and a young girl to an eternity in hell. Trailer Impressions My first thought on this series was “but, I saw the movie…” which sort-of still holds true after watching this trailer. Not that I remember much…

Dr. Henry Morgan is a mortician who can’t die. Detective Jo Martinez is investigating a crime. Along with the only person who knows Henry’s secret, Abe, they make up the trio of this new fantasy, romcom, crime drama. Intrigued yet? Despite it’s very unimaginative title, Forever isn’t boring at all. Trailer Impressions My first thought during this…

Criminal Justice is an HBO series. HBO doesn’t have a public trailer, but there’s one from the original BBC series that can be viewed. I’m already bored just watching this trailer. It’s hard to tell what’s going on both visually and mentally. Clearly, a guy is convicted for killing a girl and for some reason he’s…

Galavant is a hilarious, honest musical – yes, you heard that right. Actually, I sort of liked it, and I felt that I should be a bit embarrassed by that! Trailer impressions I saw this pilot before the trailer, so I was so caught off guard when it started. I absolutely thought it was a joke. But…

A modern day “miracle”, Jane is artificially inseminated – on accident. If that doesn’t make this show sound bad enough – it’s by the CW. Now that we have established that this show is probably very trashy… let’s also come to terms with the fact that I will absolutely be watching it. Trailer impressions Another…

American Crime is a drama set in California, exploring the way in which a single crime can affect the lives of many. Touching on racial issues and class politics, this new show promises to be emotionally charged from beginning to end. Trailer Impressions This show, just based on the title, was pretty low on my…

Another new one from ABC, Manhattan Love Story is an adorable, honest, funny Rom-Com about a newly set-up couple as they begin, and navigate the trails of, their relationship. First Impressions I get it. It’s going to be a unique style with adorable characters and humorous situations. Only, I don’t get it. These inner voices are…

CSI: Cyber is the third CSI: Crime Scene Investigation spin-off, starring Medium‘s Patricia Arquette. And in case you don’t want to scroll to the bottom: it’s awful. First Impressions All I have to say about this trailer is the following quote, “it’s not the perfect crime. It’s cyber crime.” (3:23) Stop. Now. Even just using…

Cristela is a quick-witted, Latina sitcom with back-to-back punchlines and a laugh track that seems to last for the entire show, non-stop. Like I prefaced in my last review (that I love crime dramas) let me preface that I’ve watched very few sitcoms (see the list). Trailer Impressions I can’t really give “first impressions” here…

I’m choosing which TV pilot I watch very carefully and strategically: by the names that sound cool! Then I watch the trailer, followed by the pilot itself. The cut and dry on Mysteries of Laura: I like it! I feel like I should preface this with I love crime shows – but this is more of a drama/comedy. I’d give…

After gaining access to 12 pilots from ABC (I’m not really the first-to-know-type… it makes me a little obsessive) I’m feeling pretty fancy. I’m trying not to binge watch all of them, but as I write this I’m also trying to determine which show I’ll watch next. As well as how I can get the pilots…
