    I really miss Anna Friel, excited to watch Odyssey, I really like that cast, it's got Peter Facinelli who's also very cool.

    State of Affairs sounds like Scandal

    Off topic, but has any network ever done a series based around The Odyssey (The Greek myth/Epic poem)? It'd never have to be a perfect retelling, though there's certainly enough material. It could even been done as an anthology. One season is Odysseus's journey, another could be the Trojan War, the aftermath with Agamemnon, etc.

    That would be epic, I can only imagine Starz or HBO tackling it.

    Need to see footage of these before I commit, they could be interesting or completely bland network dramas.

    They did it in Europe last year. It was called "Odysseys" and it dealt with Ulysses' return to Ithaca. It was a French-German-Italian-Portuguese and it was pretty good. It only produced one season, tho-
    You should check it out if you don't mind subtitles, I don't think it was dubbed in english.

    I'm going to check out Odyssey, but I need to see some previews before I commit.


    If done right it could be very much like "the season of Revenge everyone is pretending never happened but I actually really liked".

    These sound potentially pretty great but am I the only one who feels NBC is really hoping these will be the next Blacklist? All the pilots they picked up today are the ones they have that sound based on the logline like they could promote it as the next Blacklist but maybe that's just me. I'm really hoping they will pick up some of their more unique sounding shows as well. They are the ones with Salvation, right? Not sure it'd be my thing but something that might be interesting to see on broadcast. And of course I'm rooting for their genre pilots like Constantine, Mysteries of Laura ...

    I did a quick search on my normal haunts and couldn't find even a reference to it. Is it possible the title is in another language?

    Yeah. I remember a miniseries back years ago that I thought was awful. All things considered it could be very good.

    My bad! It's called Odysseus (I accidently put a y instead of the u!)
    This is Arte's website (the French broadcaster): http://www.arte.tv/fr/odysseus/7516300.html
