Still, there’s no real harm in getting a little excited about the possibilities of TV shows which sound more original than they probably are—even though they’ll probably get beat out by a remake of Hawaii Five-O, another procedural spin-off (this time, from Criminal Minds) and the third Christian Slater vehicle in... read more
