9-11PM | ABC | SERIES DEBUT The River "This creepy drama follows Emmet Cole (Bruce Greenwood), a wildlife-TV host who's disappeared in the Amazon." The River Executive produced by Steven Spielberg, which has been the kiss of death to many a series...
Nope but I may check out the pilot. Are you sure Spielberg's involved? IMDB doesn't list him anywhere. . .
Wikipedia mentions Spielberg too. IMDB must just be out of the loop. Anyway. I like Bruce Greenwood so I probably will check this out.
It's a poor man's Lost. Lost slowly built up to a conclusion of magic causing all of the strange events, while The River uses that explanation episode one. I don't really see where it can go from here...
The River Episode: A Better Man NEW S01, E04 As the search for Emmet continues, the group finds one of his missing crew members exhibiting symptoms of a mystical curse; Lincoln tries to be the moral compass of the group. CC TV-14 (L,V) 9:00 - 10:00 PM ABC
