TV powerhouse J.J. Abrams is back with a new show, hopefully to add to the greats he has already put on television (Lost, Alias, and Fringe). The biggest surprise about this show? Number four ranked network NBC is the network hosting one of the most buzzed-about new shows this fall. They have a lot to gain from airing this promising series, about a retired-from-the-CIA husband and wife who are called back in for service. The concept seems a bit tired (being called back for duty has happened a bajillion times) but the twist of having the characters be married (a la Mr. & Mrs. Smith) and happily married for that matter (a rarity outside of most tv shows). The clip below gives a sneak peak at what to expect, and I think it has some great potential. Starring new faces Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (two of the easier names to pronounce on primetime TV, I think), the series will need to capitalize on the chemistry these two actors have on screen. If they can, and people tune in, this show could be a critical and ratings hit.
I said good day, sir!
