❝Alcatraz❞.
❝Alcatraz is an American television series created by Elizabeth Sarnoff, Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt, and produced by J. J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions.
On March 21, 1963, over 300 inmates and more than 40 guards disappeared from the Alcatraz island prison without a trace. To cover up the disappearance, the government invented a cover story about the prison being closed, due to unsafe conditions, and officially reported that the inmates had been transferred. However, federal agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill), a young San Francisco police officer tasked with transferring inmates to the island in 1963, is one of the first to discover that the inmates are actually missing and not transferred. In present-day San Francisco, the "63s" (as the missing inmates and guards are called) begin returning, one by one. Strangely, they haven't aged at all, and they have no clues about their missing time or their whereabouts during their missing years. Even more strangely, the government has been expecting their return, and Hauser now runs a secret government unit dedicated to finding the returning prisoners; this unit was set up long ago in anticipation of the prisoners' returns. To help track the returning prisoners down and capture them, Hauser enlists police detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) and Dr. Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia), a published expert on the history of Alcatraz and its inmates. The 63s appear to be returning without any memory of where they have been but with compulsions to find certain objects and to continue their criminal habits.
The series stars Sarah Jones, Jorge Garcia, Sam Neill and Parminder Nagra.❞
I just finished watching 2 episodes of “Alcatraz” on the TV.
The TV-series premiered on the Swedish TV-channel TV4 today and they showed the 2 first episodes in a row.
I first saw a commercial about the TV-series last week and it looked like a TV-series that I would like so I obviously had to watch it when it premiered today. And now when I've seen the 2 first episodes I'm definitely going to see the other episodes as well because it seems to be a good TV-series so far!
I was surprised to see that Parminder Nagra is starring in the TV-serie because I didn't know that she starred in it before I started to watch it. If you don't recognize her name she played “Neela Rasgotra” on the TV-series “ER”. I really liked her character on “ER” so that's why I was happily surprised to see her on “Alcatraz”. And it will be fun to see more of her in this TV-series since her character is one of the main characters in the TV-series.
