Salvation TV Show Needs to be Saved

Published

on

Release Date: 12 July 2017
Channel: CBS and CBS All Access, Wednesdays at 9pm
Creator: Elizabeth Kruger, Craig Shapiro, Matt JL Wheeler
Production Co: Secret Hideout, Still Married Productions, CBS Television Studios
Stars: Ian Anthony Dale, Santiago Cabrera, Jennifer Finnigan

The Show:
Kind of cloak and dagger, if you are looking for some dark alley, don’t go down the stairs, “watch your back, Big Brother is watching” kind of drama.


It’s definitely great to see Ian Anthony Dale headlining a show (in a sense). There is life after Hawaii Five- O! It’s also good to see Jennifer Finnigin, cast as Grace Barrows, again on the TV screen after her time on Tyrant. Santiago Cabrera cast as Darius Tanz (a tech billionaire), was on Merlin (oh yes, went there!) as Lancelot. He has a silky accent. That was a big draw. Charlie Rowe (Red Band Society), has been out of the limelight for a few years, but is back as Liam Cole in the series.

It’s nice to see that “scientific” shows are coming back. Were they really gone? Remember the movies: Deep Impact, Armageddon (sniff, Sniff), 2012? This may be along the lines of these movies. Who doesn’t love a good nerd out during the summer time?

The summary from the pilot: A meteor hit a place in Russia in 2013 and the government has been working on a way to track meteors since then, now a new meteor pending, can cause extinction.
Man, was that enough?

The pilot, streaming on CBS All Access and on TV on Wednesdays at 9 p.m., has me going. It seems you have to have high level clearance to really see what’s going on with the government’s plan.

Have you seen this before? Of course you have. What is going to make this show different from all the “blockbuster” films you have seen in the past? Probably nothing.

Here is what I did like: There is suspense. Ian Anthony Dale is the Deputy Secretary of Defense. Santiago Cabrera. The plot is a bit predictable, but with a topic like a meteor going to hit the Earth in however many days, what more can you expect?

Is it a waste of time to watch? I can’t say. I know my TV buddy liked it. It can warrant a second viewing before ultimately deciding, but then again, why when it’s on CBS All Access.

DISNEY+ CASTS DANIEL DIEMER AS FAN-FAVORITE ‘TYSON’IN SEASON TWO OF “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
