With only a few hours of the weekend remaining there is just time to squeeze in a couple of reminders.
Tomorrow (Monday, 13th June) sees the première of the first episode of the new CBS comedy-drama BrainDead starring everyone’s second favourite Scotty: Danny Pino.
There have been a few reviews published by various outlets in recent days and it is fair to say they have been a mixed bag. Many love it, others think it does not work.
Comedy is a tricky thing. Make a dramatic movie and you could have a two minute long segment in the middle where nothing happens (no drama) and no one would bat an eyelid. Make a comedy and have the same lack of the period with no jokes and it’s considered a failure. That’s makes comedy even harder to make. So, why do all the Oscars go to dramas?
My excuse for mentioning the show again is that it sounds interesting and therefore might be worth a watch. With the state of politics at the moment (I gather soundbites from the recent presidential campaign have been included) it might give you a few extra laughs. Or terrify you. Or both. And Danny’s in it for those that like a bit of Valens.
