Now that I think about it ... that title may be a bit ... icky. But I can't think of a better way to satisfy my "in the form of a question, please" format so I'm stuck with it.
Recently, I blogged about discovering the outstanding drama Veronica Mars that was canceled in 2007. The show starred an underrated actor named Kristen Bell - those of you who were Heroes fans will remember her as the electric femme fatale, Elle Bishop - who strangely never got any critical nods for her outstanding work in the series.
Showtime has just announced that Kristen Bell is on board for their upcoming drama pilot House of Lies. The show looks pretty interesting (it's about cutthroat business consultants, and you know that speaks to me as an MBA), and it also stars Don Cheadle. I don't subscribe to Showtime, but I might have to get the free opener package to check out this show when it airs in the near future.
Since Showtime is well-known for its edgy, critically-acclaimed dramas I'm optimistic that Ms. Bell might get some well-deserved critical attention if the show's pilot is well-received.
If you have Showtime, make sure to watch for House of Lies and tell me what you think!
P.S. -
Erica Durance, I love you.
I absolutely loved Veronica Mars. I really wish it had aired longer, but the show just didn't have it's snap after the end of Season 1. After all, the main driving conflict was gone. Still, since Veronica Mars I have been completely in love with Kristin Bell, and no I don't find that a little odd.
ReplyDeleteI might have to see about getting Showtime when we pick up HBO for the Game of Thrones series coming out soon. Kristin Bell is completely worth another channel.
