Following a two-week absence on the schedule, the Dominic WIlkins-written series Hype will finally make its way to your screens tomorrow night at 10 pm EST. The series starring Seth Green in the lead role along with Daveed Diggs, Charles Baker and David Cross amongst many others tells the story of a rag-tag group of misfits who get embroiled by their boss in a carefully planned professional mascot fraud scheme. You have to see it to believe it!
I also got some news for another series that will debut later; Ann Morrow's La Maupin. The series had a troubled development, and rumors are that they've narrowed down the lead actress search to a shortlist, with Kathryn Newton and Dakota Fanning along with a few other young actresses. The series isn't dead and should debut in a couple of weeks. Just a reminder that this is the first ever Last Resort Films miniseries, with only six episodes set to air.
Now, it's time for…
Some series continued to improve in their second weeks, while others continued to falter. Either way it made for an interesting week, and hopefully for an interesting Power Rankings.
1. NEZ PERCE
(Last Week: 1)
Writer: Dwight Gallo / Executive Producer: Scott Cooper
Nez Perce just won't let up. It has given us intense scenes and entertaining historical drama on a weekly basis. This last episode had some great visual moments.
2. ROLLING STONE
(Last Week: 2)
Writer: D.R. Cobb / Executive Producer: Oliver Stone
Rolling Stone went back to its old tricks a bit this week with the guest appearance of The Who's Pete Townshend, played by musician Miles Kane, but the supporting characters all get their moments in this one,
3. MANSON
(Last Week: 3)
Writer: Lon Charles / Executive Producer: Antonio Campos
Manson continues to show that Charles and Campos have a very unique vision for the series. Sturgess is clearly having fun with the role of Charles Manson, with him getting to play a lot of different angles in this last episode.
4. L.A. NOIRE
(Last Week: 4)
Writer: John Malone / Executive Producer: Gavin O'Connor
The writing by Malone is doing a great job mixing in the different storylines, with this last episode introducing a few different characters those familiar with the game will recognize, but yet the show still manages to feel fresh.
5. RUBBER CITY ROCKERS
(Last Week: 6)
Writer: D.R. Cobb / Executive Producer: David Wain
Ross Lynch has disappeared into the role of The Baron and it will be hard for me to ever see him as any other character. This week's crazy episode showed us that there is more to this series than just musical guests and fart jokes - not that I was complaining about those.
6. GAUNTLET
(Last Week: 8)
Writer: Matt Parker / Executive Producer: Antoine Fuqua
This week's double-header gave us the shocking conclusion to John David Washington's story line and managed to set up some new plot threads for the rest of the season. This much is clear, with the Pharaohs' season about to start, I have no idea what's going to happen, and that's exciting.
7. BURNT PRAIRIE
(Last Week: 5)
Writer: Chad Taylor / Executive Producer: James Ponsoldt
After the shocking season premiere, it was always probably going to simmer a bit in the next episode. The show continued on with its central mystery, but set up even more storylines that could easily carry the show past the conclusion of its inciting incident.
8. SHOWTIME
(Last Week: 12)
Writers: Mo Buck & Chad Taylor / Executive Producer: Steven Soderbergh
While not all of the characters are living up to their promise at this point, the show seems to be finding its footing after a mostly ho-hum premiere episode.
9. HITMAN
(Last Week: 7)
Writer: Dwight Gallo / Executive Producer: Francis Lawrence
This season feels more organic than last season with its plot development, and Ed Skrein is giving a great performance as the angrier Agent 47 in this most recent episode.
10. HAVE GUN - WILL TRAVEL
(Last Week: 11)
Writer: Dwight Gallo / Executive Producer: Frank Darabont
The pilot was all about introducing us to Paladin, gloriously played by Walton Goggins. This second episode gave us more insight into the world the characters inhabit and the lives of those around Paladin - and it is certainly an interesting world filled with shady frontier figures.
11. THE SURVIVORS
(Last Week: 15)
Writer: Mo Buck / Executive Producer: Tomas Alfredson
The pilot didn't inspire too much confidence in me, but the second episode continued right where the pilot left off, but gave us more interesting drama and intrigue.
12. MIAMI VICE
(Last Week: 10)
Writer: Roy Horne / Executive Producer: Peter Berg
I'm really enjoying this season so far. I loved getting to see a Crockett/Castillo team-up episode, especially after the friction between them for much of the first season. I did miss Tubbs though, so hopefully he will have more to do next week.
13. SHE-HULK
(Last Week: 13)
Writer: Chad Taylor / Executive Producer: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
The series appears to be slowing delving into its formula, but I still don't feel like its living up to its potential yet at this point. It is nice seeing Michael Richards getting to show off his talent on the small screen again though.
14. CALL MY AGENT
(Last Week: 9)
Writer: Dominic Wilkins / Executive Producer: Jason Reitman
The show continues to struggle this season. The season premiere was decent, but didn't live up to the strong first season. This latest episode may be the weakest of the series to date. The satirical comedy that made the series a hit seems to have been left behind in favor of a more dramatic touch, unfortunately.
15. SURVIVOR: LAST RESORT
(Last Week: 14)
Writer: Chad Taylor
This season's cast just isn't nearly as colorful as the crew they had trying to survive last season, and those who have the potential to be interesting (especially Rick and Kenny) didn't have much to do this week.
16. HUMAN
(Last Week: 16)
Writer: Ann Morrow / Executive Producer: Michelle MacLaren
The second episode was a big improvement over the pilot. The show is definitely getting more interesting with the character interactions being more entertaining this week. The show all around was much better than the pilot, but unfortunately somebody has to be at the bottom. If the improvement continues though, I doubt it will be for much longer.
