New Show: Stalker

[lostdragonfound]

STALKER Premieres Wednesday October 1st


STALKER stars Maggie Q and Golden Globe Award winner Dylan McDermott in a psychological thriller about detectives who investigate stalking incidents – including voyeurism, cyber harassment and romantic fixation – for the Threat Assessment Unit of the LAPD. Det. Jack Larsen is a recent transfer to the Unit from New York City’s homicide division, whose confidence, strong personality and questionable behavior has landed him in trouble before – but whose past behavior may also prove valuable in his new job. His boss, Lt. Beth Davis, is strong, focused and an expert in the field, driven by her traumatic personal experience as a victim. With the rest of their team, young but eager Det. Ben Caldwell and deceptively smart Det. Janice Lawrence, Larsen and Davis assess the threat level of cases and respond before the stalking and intimidation spirals out of control, all while trying to keep their personal obsessions at bay.

This seems to be a really bad idea for a tv show.

I have to say that there isn't anything appealing about this show. This is one of those moments when I can't help but wonder how do TPTB choose a pilot to make into a show.O_o!

i think cbs executives might have heard 'SVU meets criminal minds' through the pitch.

[glitteryv]

Probably. It's either that or they purposely greenlit this show to fulfill someone's contract? I mean, really, so many possible shows and this is one of the few that made it through?

(It's a headscratcher for sure).

driven by her traumatic personal experience as a victim

OMG, really?! Dear male writers, could you be *less* original? Male lead with a trouble past, a secret or whatever and problems with abiding rules? Female lead who is of course a victim because how could she be good at her job or pick this kind of career in the first place otherwise?
*headdesk* No, no and no.
