With:Juliet Rylance, Antony Starr, Virginia Madsen, Justin Chatwin, Megan Ketch, Elliot Knight, Stephanie Leonidas, Gabriel BatemanPoor Grant Wood. Imagine being the artist responsible for “,” a guy who just wanted to evoke the simple charms of Middle America, only have his painting serve as an inspiration for a slew of middling-to-terrible horror shows and movies.One wonders what the late painter would have thought of CBS’ latest “” (which is completely unrelated to the series that aired for a season on the network in 1995). It’s no masterpiece, but it does share Wood’s theme of simplicity, in the sense that the new show is as standard as they come. It revolves around the tale of a rich and powerful Boston family that may have a serial killer in its moneyed ranks.
Unlike the earlier show, this summertime filler has no supernatural elements. Neither are there any outlandish or memorable characters, nor a single indication within the first two episodes that the 13-part journey is worth following to the end. With the right execution, the new show could have been a fun summer diversion, but in its initial installments, it features a ponderous plot built around a drab mystery.
