I'm really looking forward to the USA Network premiere tomorrow night of The Rainmaker. Previews have looked pretty good so far.
Anything else new coming along you're looking forward to?

No particular series I am anticipating; and TBH I don't know whether to look forward to or dread the saga of the Belichick era. But it does herald the end of the UNC sports summer drought, so there's that. Plus the start of the NFL season.

Correction: The Great British Baking Show should be returning this fall sometime. I always enjoy that.

I am waiting for all of Dexter:Resurrection to drop at the beginning of Sept. before binging. Right now the wife and I are fishing a re-watch of Animal Kingdom. And I’m finishing the last season of the old Kojak.

I'm kinda 50/50 on watching this. After the stinko ending of the original series, I can't quite make myself get enthusiastic. Plus I am still traumatized over the Trinity Killer season. I look forward to your thoughts on it.

If you're waiting for a new series to drop on USA Network, then you're watching too much TV.

Watched episode 2 of the Rainmaker yesterday (Peacock is a week lagged from USA). I think I like it so far. Main issues is the nurse guy has more Batman skills than I think you'd find in a mid 40's fat nurse with respiratory problems. The characters are pretty flat stereotypes.

The storyline has some promise and I'm not expecting well developed characters in episode 2, so i'll keep going with it.

First couple of episodes were a slow start. It got my interest when Peter Dinklage showed up.

I’m enjoying it so far. Not as compelling as the movie and a bit predictable, but it’s watchable.

I’ve got to get back to it. I hate when a series drops one a week. I’m spoiled by binging. We used to consume new seasons of Orange Is The New Black over a weekend.
