A House Divided
Summary:
Network: ABC
Release: Fall 2006
This hour-long drama follows a small town farmer "Tom Sampson" who decides to take a stand against the government by not paying his taxes. He is quickly made into a hero in the media and one West Point professor closely watching the situation thinks that this is the beginning of the next Civil War in the United States.
Cast and Crew:
Dylan McDermott, Jason Wiles, Nestor Serrano, Sarah Clarke, Shannon Lucio and Tyress Allen star. McDermott is headlining this show. He was "Bobby Donnell" on the "The Practice". Nestor Serrano and Clarke are both from "24" while Tyress Allen is from "Alias".
Deborah Spera, Mark Gordon and Michael Rymer are all working on the project. They all put together CBS's hit new drama "Criminal Minds".
Our Take:
Things look darn good for this new drama. McDermott is just a kick ass actor and we love him to death. It is about time he got into something after "The Practice". The supporting cast is amazing as well. Clarke and Serrano were awesome on "24" and Allen was solid on "Alias" as well. The production team is decent and as long as the writing holds water we may have ourselves a new hit drama for 2007! Note: there has also been a lot of buzz surrounding this project. We hear it is good. Furthermore, the premise is really fun and we can see it lasting a few seasons unlike most new dramas that are coming out these days.
