Šie ir visi jaunie seriāli ko vērts ietestēt. Sorry, ka angliski, slinkums kaut ko tulkot. Tāpat visi saprot angļu valodu.

BETTER OFF TED (March 18)
Cast: Jay Harrington, Portia de Rossi, Andrea Anders, Jonathan Slavin
Imagine a workplace comedy set at Fringe’s Massive Dynamic, and you’ll begin to grok Better Off Ted. As Portia de Rossi says, “Better Off Ted is kind of like a crazy [show] about a very moral guy who works in this very immoral, giant corporation.” Ted’s (Jay Harrington) workplace would seem bizarre and evil if it weren’t so dead-on truthful in describing the life of a modern corporate drone just trying to get the cute girl’s attention while furiously managing upward, defrosting the lab rats and weaponizing ornamental gourds.

CAPRICA (April 21)
Cast: Esai Morales, Eric Stoltz, Paula Malcolmson, Polly Walker
This Battlestar Galactic prequel series is another space opera (of sorts) that explores the rise of the Cylon race and the darkest secrets of the Adama family and their rivals, the Greystones. As star Paula Malcolmson tells us, “All the actors on this are really human and really real and really flawed, and the producers have made this [sci-fi] blueprint, but they wanted us to flesh it out.” Grim and atmospheric, the series questions what happens when a society’s technology gets too far ahead of its morals, while setting the stage for an epic struggle between Caprica’s haves (never mind the have-nots), colonial mobsters, law-abiding do-gooders, religious fundamentalists and, above all, the little children who aspire to lead them and who have access to artificial intelligences that might allow them to do so.

CASTLE
Cast: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic
Nathan Fillion, as millionaire playboy mystery author Richard Castle, and Stana Katic, as edgy N.Y. detective Kate Beckett, are midseason TV’s most charming odd couple. Beckett’s hard-driving nature and finely honed detective technique mesh nicely with Castle’s brilliant instinct for sussing out means, motive and opportunity—he did it for his fictional characters, and he easily transfers the skill set to actual crimes. As Nathan Fillion tells us, “[Castle's] having a blast, but he’s not driven to find justice—he just wants the beginning of the story. The end is murder, he wants the beginning. He’s fascinated by story. That’s what drives him.

CUPID (March 24)
Cast: Bobby Cannavale, Sarah Paulson, Rick Gomez, Camille Guaty
Washington Post writer Lisa deMoraes described Cupid as this decade’s Love Boat, and we certainly see the romance-of-the-week resemblance. As Bobby Cannavale explains about his character, Trevor “Cupid” Pierce, “Trevor has a goal. He’s got to match up 100 couples to get home [to Mount Olympus].” Cupid is meant to be a lighthearted romp, but the tepid series-lead chemistry between Cupid and his psychiatrist (aka his mythological bride Psyche, get it?), played by Sarah Paulson, is not quite there yet.
