Promo for ABC’s Somewhere Between – a Groundhog Day murder-mystery

Not content to leave summer completely at the mercy of CBS, ABC is also launching its own sci-fi (ish) limited series this month. Somewhere Between is based on SBS (Korea)’s TV series God’s Gift: 14 Days and sees Paula Patton playing a mom whose eight-year-old daughter is kidnapped and murdered… except Patton discovers she can roll time back 14 days and perhaps save her daughter, with the help of ex-cop PI Devon Sawa (Nikita).

Now ABC has form for limited series about Groundhog Day-style crime stories with the Taye Diggs’ starrer Daybreak – which it cancelled after about seven episodes, releasing the rest of the episodes online, so whether this will be more successful or whether ABC will be more benevolent with Somewhere Between is going to be interesting to watch. The show itself? Well, here’s a promo…

CBS's Salvation
US TV

Watch the first 15 minutes of CBS/Amazon (UK)’s Salvation

It’s summer time and with it comes the now-traditional CBS summer show. In previous years, we’ve had Extant, Zoo, Under the Dome and Brain Dead, and now comes Salvation, a suspense thriller that centres on MIT grad student Liam Cole and tech superstar Darius Tanz, who bring Pentagon official Grace Barrows a staggering discovery – an asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth. The show starts Wednesday July 12 at 9pm ET/PT in the US and four days later (allegedly) on Amazon in the UK. I doubt it’ll be as romantic and fun as No Tomorrow, and it doesn’t exactly say summer fun, but you can at least watch the first 15 minutes below to see if you might want to watch more…

False Flag
Airdates

When’s that show you mentioned starting again, TMINE? Including כפולים (False Flag), Blood Drive and What Would Diplo Do?

Every Friday, TMINE lets you know the latest announcements about when new, imported TV shows will finally be arriving on UK screens

No fewer than three premiere dates for you this week. First up is Israel’s כפולים (False Flag), which aired on Channel 2 there in 2015 but has now been acquired by Fox UK. An eight-parter created by Amit Cohen and Maria Feldman and inspired by the real-life assassination of a Hamas leader by Mossad agents, it sees five Israeli citizens find themselves implicated in a ruthless kidnapping operation following the disappearance of the Iranian Defence Minister while on a secret visit to Moscow. It stars Ishai Golan, Maggie Azarzar, Ania Bukstein, Angel Bonanni, Orna Salinger and Mickey Leon, and starts 31 July at 9pm.

The less said about the severely awful Blood Drive, the better, but in case my review of the first episode didn’t put you off, it starts 10 August at 10pm.

Lastly, What Would Diplo Do? premieres on Viceland on 18 October at 10pm. Coincidentally, I wrote about that this week, so I won’t repeat myself.
