The Brave
Mondays, 10 p.m.
There’s sweeping music.
There’s a shot of a drone.
There’s Anne Heche, looking concerned at wide screens in a high-security level facility.
There’s an American woman who’s kidnapped by “hostiles” but spoiler alert!
saved by the end.
In other words, coming soon to NBC: It’sHomeland, without Claire Danes!
It’s also24, without theLegacy!
I know, I know, I’m being facetious.
Still, it’s not just the familiarity ofThe Bravethat makes me wary of its quality.
Much of what’s shown in the trailer feels formulaic.
Then again,The Brave’s rote familiarity probably means it’ll find an audience somewhere.
Just not with me.
Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders
Thursdays, 10 p.m. with a questionable coif.
Welcome back to the awards circuit, Edie.
Will & Grace
Thursdays, 8 p.m. (Or maybe that last part’s purely Messing.)
But truth be told, Messingisasking the right questions.
What if something fundamentallyhaschanged?
Or maybe it’s the fact that the cast is in their 40s.
Well, for what it’s worth, Mullally and Hayes faux-slapping each other will never not be funny.
