Comedic sci-fi series about a young White House staffer that discovers several high profile members of Congress as well as other branches have had their brains replaced by alien spawn staging a coup of the planet.

lol CBS what are you up to?

 

[Sawyer]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead Cast

 

[Webfoot Hero]

This show is so far from what CBS and even the producing duo of Robert and Michelle King (The Good Wife) are known for that I'm not sure how well it'll do. Seems like something that fit better on The CW than on CBS.

 

[Marz69]

The title alone makes me give this a shot

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead Cast

I literally checked this thread to see if someone I like is in this, then BAM!

The premise also sounds promising.

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Graceland's Aaron Tveit has the male lead:

Tveit will play Gareth, a Republican operative whose wit is only trumped by his pragmatism. The Legislative Director to a top Republican senator, Gareth is smart, hardworking, and ultimately responsible for helping to save the world.

“We’re thrilled that Aaron will be joining BrainDead,” said executive producers Robert and Michelle King. “We’re huge fans of his work — he’s spectacular on stage and screen — and think he’ll be a fantastic opponent-slash-love-interest for Mary Elizabeth Winstead.”

[terry78]

Yeah, that is on my CBS list next to supergirl and 2 broke girls muted.

 

[Sawyer]

This looks weird as s*** for CBS. Wonder how it'll fare.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

This looks weird as s*** for CBS. Wonder how it'll fare.

I guess it's no weirder than CBS' other summer offerings like Under the Dome, Extant, and Zoo.

 

[Sawyer]

Premieres tonight.

 

[Kaleb]

Was there ever an actual trailer for this?

 

[Sawyer]

Not sure. If there was, I didn't see it. I've only seen promos.

 

[terry78]

Yeah, I gotta flip between this, the game and E3 tonight. Terry shall be one busy beaver.

 

[terry78]

Pretty funny so far.

 

[rashad]

I love me some Mary Elizabeth Winstead. This is pretty good and hilarious so far. Definitely out of box for CBS. I hope it does well.

 

[divan]

Liked this much more than I thought I would. Need to polish the balance between serious and silly a bit but for the most part it works pretty well and the characters are engaging.

 

[Quasar]

I love the sung recaps at the beginning of each episode.

 

[superhero]

i hadnt watched it yet!! but is the main girl the girl who plays in agents of shield?

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

I love the sung recaps at the beginning of each episode.

Me too!

i hadnt watched it yet!! but is the main girl the girl who plays in agents of shield?

Nope! It's Ramona Flowers herself Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

On another note, I'm really liking this show too. Pilot was okay, but now that its going along, I'm really enjoying it. Hoping it gets picked up for a season 2.

 

[rashad]

I love the sung recaps at the beginning of each episode.

Reminds me of Galavant.

 

[divan]

I'm digging this series too.

Nuff said.

Reminds me of Galavant.

The plot is gaining steam, so back to this old theme. Here's what's been happening on Galavant...

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The show has an odd tone, an odd sense of humor. But it is working for me. MEW's big ole eyes could keep me interested in pretty much anything though.
