USA Network cop drama “Graceland” premieres June 6

May 30, 2013 Ryan Berenz

Creator and executive producer Jeff Eastin (White Collar) used the true story of a seized California beach property that was turned into a safe house for undercover federal agents as a jumping point for the new USA Network drama series Graceland, premiering Thursday, June 6, at 10:01pm ET. Young rookie undercover FBI agent Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit) is assigned to the home, and he has to earn the respect of his psychologically complex roommates and a brilliant but mysterious mentor (Daniel Sunjata). Mike also has to learn on the job quickly after his first sting operation turns into a hostage […]

May 23, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Longmire Season 2 premiere: “Unquiet Mind” Monday, May 27 A&E, 10pm ET A nine-month hiatus has done nothing to calm the crime problems in Absaroka County, Wyo. When we pick up the Longmire Season 2 premiere, Sheriff Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) and his deputy Vic Moretti (Katee Sackhoff) are transporting a federal prisoner to his rendezvous with some FBI agents that will escort him to his next stop. The prisoner is actually a notorious serial killer who preyed on Native Americans and sold their body parts on the black market. Well, since a hassle-free prisoner transport wouldn’t make for good drama — […]

Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Holliday Grainger (The Borgias) star as the legendary couple whose crime sprees captured the imagination of many Americans.

VOD Spotlight: Side Effects

May 21, 2013 Meredith Ennis

Side Effects was shot primarily on location in and around New York City, which director Steven Soderbergh says can be intimidating. “There are so many iconic New York movies. I decided that the important thing was to make the locations organic to this movie. The narrative is the priority. That doesn’t mean we didn’t look for locations that were interesting and different, but I don’t go anywhere one of the characters hasn’t been.” With that in mind, some of the locales that were chosen for filming definitely come under the heading of “gritty.” At Manhattan Psychiatric Center the filmmakers shot […]

Bates Motel recap: “Midnight”

May 20, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Even though we know where the characters ultimately end up, Bates Motel has done a pretty good job of being unpredictable in its debut season. For instance, I couldn’t have told you at the outset that there would have been subplots involving human trafficking, marijuana fields and police corruption. Nor that Vera Farmiga would take complete control over the series, giving far more depth and nuance to Norma Bates than I ever thought possible. Why, it’s almost heartbreaking to think that one day she’ll be sitting in that rocking chair as her mummified corpse takes the blame for Norman’s murderous […]

ABC’s new drama Motive takes a page from Law & Order: Criminal Intent, revealing the killer and victim at the beginning of each hour, and then exploring the crime via stylized flashbacks and the efforts of Detective Angie Flynn (Kristin Lehman) and her partner Detective Oscar Vega (Louis Ferreira) to bring the killer to justice. Motive sneak preview airs Monday, May 20, at 10pm ET, and premieres in its regular time slot on Thursday, May 23, at […]

Rectify season finale: Date, time, TV channel, preview and more!

May 20, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Rectify season finale Monday, May 20 Sundance Channel, 10pm ET It’s been a slow burn for the first six episodes of Rectify, the absorbing drama about Daniel Holden’s (Aden Young) attempt to re-enter society after spending 19 years on death row for the murder of his girlfriend. The show has become a media darling and was renewed quickly for a second season by Sundance. Good thing, because while tonight’s season finale, “Jacob’s Ladder,” delivers the same languid pace and pregnant pauses that have become the show’s signature, there sure isn’t much in the way of resolution. But then, we don’t […]
