I'll probably check this out just for Taraji. I miss seeing her on my TV every week.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy about that. Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson are great actors. They deserved that.
ReplyDeleteI loved Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard together in Hustle & Flow. Also liked Henson to a certain degree on Person of Interest. Only cast-member i don't like i Sidibe, both her person IRL and her acting on American Horror Story is awful.
ReplyDeleteAlso another thing i like about the pilot, Danny Strong. He did so great job with Game Change i think.
At least what we suspected about the real reason that TPH was booted from POI is confirmed now. Making movies, please. Glad she's back on TV - she is a amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not so intrigues by this. I'm gonna wait for the trailer to judge it.
ReplyDeleteI'm really interesting to see this show, the cast is very solid and have Terrence, Taraji and Gabourey on it, so I in.
ReplyDeleteCould be interesting this one
