Lilyhammer (Netflix) Netflix launches its ambitious new streaming TV series with all 8 episodes of its first season available all at once on February 6th. The new Netflix Inc. original series starring and co-written by E Street Band guitarist and “The Sopranos” actor Steven Van Zandt. I’m betting this one is a huge success for Netflix and is an example of the future of scripted TV. More on that on GeekTonic this week.
Smash (10pm on NBC) New music/drama series from executive producer Steven Spielberg. It’s about the making of a broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. Starring Katherine McPhee, Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston. The buzz and early reviews on this one are very good. Will be interesting to see if the ratings are good also.
