He'...Yes, Armand Assante needs to return to tv. He's a fabulous actor. The last time I've seen him on tv was in the miniseries 'The Odyssey.' I think the film he's most famous for is 'Mambo Kings,' which was a while ago.msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-22140302002172763942013-07-25T22:23:44.680-04:002013-07-25T22:23:44.680-04:00I can appreciate any city with a grid system growi...I can appreciate any city with a grid system growing up with Boston as my nearest big city-- those streets are a mess! I've always wanted to go to there, and everyone I know who's been has said great things. I haven't seen The Dark Knight Rises yet, but I didn't know that they moved it from Chicago. Did the state of Pennsylvania give them better tax credits?<br /><br />And I think this is a one-off, though now that you mention it, as a series this would've been great, and maybe a better last thirty minutes with an idea in mind for 13 or so more episodes would've fixed the issues I had with it.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-41700551829703525122013-07-25T21:38:03.019-04:002013-07-25T21:38:03.019-04:00I grew up in Chicago (in the city not far from Wri...I grew up in Chicago (in the city not far from Wrigley) so I can tell you that it's a nicely designed city with lots of landmarks. It's also on a grid system. Besides being murder capital, it's a great city. I think it was a mistake for the Batman franchise to move the last film ('The Dark Knight Rises') to Pittsburgh from Chicago.<br /><br />I wonder if this show will be picked up? Or is it a mini-series only? The cast sounds great. I haven't seen Armand Assante in anything for a while. Of course Sam Witwer is a scifi darling.msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.com
