Wednesday, August 4, 2010: Dark Blue

Wait, this show wasn't cancelled? I'll admit, after I reviewed the first episode, I kind of lost track of it. But now here it is , returning for a new season, and it looks like the same old, same old. Oh, except for one thing -- Tricia Helfer is joining the cast. I don't know why that gets me more excited for this show, since I'm not exactly a Battlestar Galactica fan (or even a fan of emaciated blondes), but I also got excited when BSG's James Callis joined Eureka, so maybe I just feel a lot of good will towards that cast.

At least with Helfer I've seen her guest-star on other shows like Chuck and Burn Notice, so I have something to base my enthusiasm off of. Apparently, she plays an FBI agent who has been placed in charge of Dylan McDermott's team of undercover LA cops as part of a joint task force, and apparently this will affect McDermott's personal life somehow. Of course, Helfer isn't exactly a laugh-riot, so I doubt she's going to lighten the show's mood at all, but I guess enough people liked the show's bleak outlook and drab pallette to get it renewed. Hopefully, Helfer will bring in some more viewers, like me, and get them to watch on a regular basis. Maybe the show should take a page from Chuck and have her go undercover as a stripper?

Dark Blue Season 2 premieres tonight at 9/8C on TNT. Let us know what you think of Helfer and the show below!
