While you may feel January is busy enough with new shows and the return of favorite shows, you may want to check out the Internet as well. Crackle has a new series starting January 17th called Chosen starring Milo Ventimiglia that looks pretty interesting from what I can tell from the trailer. Here is the basic story:
Ian Mitchell (Milo Ventimiglia) is a small time defense lawyer
struggling to raise his daughter in the aftermath of a messy divorce
from Laura Mitchell (Nikki Whelan). His life is uprooted when he
discovers an intricate box left at his doorstep. Inside the box is a
gun, a photo of a stranger, and simple instructions to “expire” this
person in 3 days.
Before Ian can wonder if this box is some sick prank the bullets
begin to fly. Someone is also trying to kill him. Ian has been ‘chosen’
join a secret, deadly game that is happening all around us every day –
but few will ever know. This is the beginning of an adrenalized
life-or-death ride that will change Ian’s life forever and force him to
decide what is most important to him.
I have not watched Milo in a series since Heroes a few years back (and The Bedford Diaries before that). And the plot sounds more better than the many of the current shows that have adventure combined with super powers (Arrow), dark powers (666 Park Avenue), or no power (Revolution). I plan to tune in.
