New TV series to keep an eye on this fall

Crime series in twelve parts that takes place only in interrogation rooms. The series consists of three sections in German, three in English, three in Spanish and three in French. Each country contributes its own actors and series makers. Exciting pan-European mold or European pudding? Remains to be seen.

Eight episodes with each Dolly Parton song as a model. The episodes are free from each other with different directors and actors in each section. The sections are based on Jolene, These old bones, JJ Sneed, If I had wings, Cracker Joe, Sugar Hill, Down from Dover and Two doors down.

Watchmen is the comic novel above all comic novels, but the 2009 filmization passed quite unnoticed. The new TV series is not a regular filming of the novel but, according to director Damon Lindelof, a continuation that takes place after the end of the novel.

Helen Mirren plays Catherine the Great during her last years on the throne. The Empress Catherine II ruled Russia from 1762 until her death in 1796 and took power through a palace coup when she forced her husband to abdicate from the throne.

Pure fiction is on extinction what it seems. Much of the scripted crime series leans towards real murder cases (The Murder of Gianni Versace, The People vs. OJ Simpson, The Act, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, etc.). Perhaps in light of the fact that dating programs like Gift at First Sight, First Date and Dating around have gone so well, even the romantic genre seems to want to base itself on true love. Modern love is eight episodes based on real stories and is inspired by the New York Times heart column of the same name. Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, Tina Fey, John Slattery and Andy Garcia are some of the stars featured in the series.

SVT's humor drama initiative for the autumn is based on Henrik Bromander's serial album and trailer and description warrants countertop realism mixed with friend description. Maria lives a gray life and decides to go to clown theater summer camp. Once there, she gets into trouble with the course leader. Evelyn Mok and Jonathan Young play the lead roles.

MotherFatherSon, CMore, October 8, TV4 October 19

Richard Gere takes the step over to the television series world. Like the HBO series Succession, MotherFatherSon is about a media magnate. The BBC-produced drama in eight episodes is about loyalty, power and a changing nation.

Can anyone other than Helge Skoog play Ture Sventon? Unclear, but Bonnier Broadcast believes it and takes, with the new protagonist Robert Gustafsson's words "Ture Sventon into the 2000s". Like its TV predecessor and the book, the series is intended as something for the whole family. See you at Rotas!
