As networks prepare to debut their fall shows, the pre-reviews of the programs appear to be less than stellar. Ten Days in the Valley is said to be “meta” by the Boston Herald, in the sense that Ten Days in the Valley is about a television producer’s worst familial-work-life-crisis-nightmare. In addition, the Boston Herald notes a valid point that amongst the hit shows of the past that are being rebooted this season (Dynasty, S.W.A.T., Will & Grace) are familiar faces of television’s past, Kyra Sedgwick, Ten Days in the Valley’s lead female role. It appears that television is being conservative this season in their creative outreach efforts, airing shows with a familiar plot and putting the camera on those who have already been widely accepted into so many homes across the country. It will be interesting to watch how consumers of these new fall shows, Ten Days in the Valley included, show their approval of familiar faces and storylines, or if they dismiss the blatant recognizability altogether.
