It’s finally the last night of premieres. Yes, there are other new shows debuting in the coming weeks, but they are more spread out. Last night marked the end of 13 straight nights of new TV, with only a single new show.
Terra Nova: This is a show that I should love. Dinosaurs! Time Travel! Spielberg! The combination presented here, though, is decidedly bland. The two hour pilot spends most of its time on exposition, delivered by a cast that isn’t particularly appealing with dialogue that is far from sharp. Yes, a series such as this does necessitate a large amount of groundwork to be laid early on, so hopefully the problems on display here are merely pilot-syndrome and the show will improve dramatically now that it’s all out of the way. Only time will tell.
Verdict: Try it for 6
And that’s it for Fall 2011 premiere week. I’ll be back soon with a post completely unrelated to television or film. Probably.
Sleep well,
DTE
