If We Controlled Your Remote… 10/3/16

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Jenny’s Choice #1

conviction103smallTonight is another new drama that I’m excited to see: ABC’s Conviction. Hayley Atwell (Marvel’s Agent Carter) plays lawyer and former First Daughter Hayes Morrison, is caught using drugs and is offered a job from her sexy nemesis, NY District Attorney Conner Wallace (played by CSI: New York alum, Eddie Cahill). If she works with his team at the new Conviction Integrity Unit, which reexamines cases where there is a credible suspicion of wrongful conviction, she’ll avoid jail time and will avoid hurting her mother’s Senate campaign. She’s a party girl with a privileged upbringing who is offered a chance to turn her life around.

I was really excited about this show when I saw the trailer. I haven’t seen the pilot, so I have no idea if it’ll be any good or not, but I love the premise, and I love the cast. I didn’t watch Agent Carter, but Hayley Atwell is adorable and I’ve heard she was great in that. Eddie Cahill was one of my favs on CSI: New York, and the others are good too: Daniel Franzese (Looking & Recovery Road), Emily Kinney (The Walking Dead), Manny Montana (whom I recognize from Graceland), not to mention Merrin Dungey (Alias, Once Upon a Time) and Shawn Ashmore (The Following).

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” after joining the Conviction Integrity Unit, Hayes pushes the team to consider the case of Odell Dwyer, a handsome former high school football player who has been in prison for eight years for murdering his girlfriend.

Follow the leads tonight on ABC at 10/9c.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 10/2/16

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Kyle’s Choice

westworld102smallTonight, HBO kicks off its new drama, Westworld. Long before Jurassic Park, writer Michael Crichton told another tale about a theme park gone awry. The 1973 film Westworld, which Crichton wrote and directed, tells the story of Delos, a futuristic amusement park for adults where vacationers spend $1000 a day to stay at either Medievalworld, Romanworld, or Westworld and live out their deepest fantasies. Westworld recreates the Old West with its gunslingers, prostitutes, and saloons, but there are no rules, laws, or judgement in Delos. The parks are populated with realistic androids who are there to fulfill the patrons’ every desire, whether that be carnal or even murder. However, the androids soon started glitching and turned on the guests, who then found themselves in a desperate struggle to survive.

The HBO series is inspired by the original film and comes from executive producers J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan. It will expand the universe and story and delve more into the philosophical questions of right and wrong and just how “human” these artificial beings are. Is it okay to use these androids to act out our deepest desires, or do they have thoughts and feelings like we do? And if so, how long will it be before they rise up and take control of the situation? The series has assembled an all-star cast for its 10-episode first season, including Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jimmi Simpson, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Ben Barnes, Simon Quarterman, Angela Sarafyan, Luke Hemsworth, and Clifton Collins, Jr.

I was a huge fan of the original film, so I can’t wait to check into Westworld tonight!

On tonight’s 75-minute premiere, “The Original,” as theme park guests interact with the automaton “hosts,” the park’s head of programming is alarmed by subtle changes in some of their main attractions, and a rancher’s daughter is reunited with a gunslinger, even though her father might not approve.

Go back to the Old West tonight on HBO at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Quantico, Madam Secretary, The Simpsons, Son of Zorn, Family Guy, The Last Man on Earth, Fear the Walking Dead, The Strain, Ash vs Evil Dead, Blunt Talk, and Shameless.
