It’d be hard to find a guy more charming and likable than Nathan Fillion, who has won fans over in Joss Whedon’s “Firefly” and “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.” In the romantic comedy realm, he made a mark in “Waitress” with Keri Russell and had a nice stint on “Desperate Housewives.”
But now the Edmonton native is back as a crime-novel author teaming with a New York cop played by relative newcomer (and fellow Canadian) Hamilton, Ontario’s Stana Katic. If you didn’t have a chance to see the show last night after “Dancing with the Stars,” click here to catch the full episode!
In the meantime, here’s a review of the Canadians’ performance from one of my favorite TV critics in the biz, Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune. She says Fillion’s commanding presence leads the way, and that with a little attention to detail and character expansion, there’s potential for it to become “an enjoyable bit of escapist piffle.”
