Fall 2024-Summer 2025 New/Returning/Streaming/TV Shows

I am not against older actresses leading new movies. They could have hired Mikey Madison or someone like that.
 
Honestly I was more interested when it was Octavia Spencer but that was before Angela Lansbury died and when she was asked about it and said she didn't want to see a reboot at all I knew it was going to kill the reboot. Kind of disappointed to see them going full steam ahead so soon after Angela Lansbury died. I know it's been a couple of years but still.

I've been watching all of Murder, She Wrote properly (in order, not random episodes when I get the chance) for the first time since I was a kid and she really was fantastic. I just can't see Jamie Lee Curtis being at the level Angela Lansbury was. She's a good actress, sure. But Angela Lansbury was criminally underrated outside of Broadway before Murder, She Wrote. She was one of the best actresses of her era and Hollywood didn't know what to do with her.

Maybe JLC thinks she’s a good fit for a role like this because of the success Kathy Bates has had in the Matlock reboot. 🤔
 
I'm really enjoying Dexter: Resurrection. A plot that really shouldn't work for me, and it's doing the opposite. I binged all of the released episodes on the plane rides to and from Vegas and I can't wait to see where they go with this.
 
I have really been enjoying Watson. And last night’s episode (about a guy with alien hand syndrome) had one moment that actually made me jump and gasp. Good performances, interesting stories.

Good to know. I was wondering whehter it was going to be one spin-off too far. We're part way through Dexter: Original Sin and enjoying it. The actress playing Debra is really nailing how bloody annoying the character always was.

I enjoyed Watson after initially having my doubts. Of course, it's really just a remake of House with the Sherlockian angle shoehorned in, and not as good as House (which I'm currently re-watching) but it's very engaging.
 
I was a fan of the Inspector Lynley books and series. Now I see a new series is on the way on Britbox called "Lynley." This Lynley is more physical and brash than the original and Havers is way more outspoken than the original Havers. I'll give it a try when it arrives in September.

Yes, I noticed the House similarities. But Watson has all this betrayal subtext which House didn’t really have, or at least not the same way…
 
Hello Angela Lansbury fans! Thought I'd jump in here, I'm sure I'm not the only one of a certain age who associated her with Jessica Fletcher for years before realizing the number of my favourite movies she was also in back in the day, including Gaslight (as a scheming young housemaid) and The Harvey Girls (as a saucy saloon girl) and this IMO underrated and very charming movie as, well, I encourage you to see for yourself, here's a clip from The World of Henry Orient.
 
Also The Picture of Dorian Grey (Best Supporting Actress nomination #2 - the first was for Gaslight} and, in later years, her 3rd BSA nomination for a monstrous mother in The Manchurian Candidate.
