TV Hot Spot: Traveler

SPECIAL Preview: Traveler Season 1 (Coming Soon)

Review by: Sal




Summary: Jay, Tyler and Will are friends who have spent the last two years in grad school. They are about to depart on a summer trip when a simple prank to rollerblade through one of New York City's most famous museums makes Jay and Tyler prime suspects in a terrorist bombing that destroys the museum seconds later. Hopeful that Will can help clear up this misunderstanding, they learn he's been missing since the explosion and think he may be dead. They're unable to turn to authorities when they realize they can't prove Will even exists. In every photo from the past two years, he has managed to block his face. Who will believe them? Friends, family, lovers? The boys are pawns in a conspiracy that will take years to unravel, and the government may not have their best interests at heart. Their friendship will be tested like never before as they try to uncover the truth, while avoiding detection of not only the FBI, but everyone in America who has seen their faces on TV as suspects in the bombing.

Personal Thoughts: Ok so two things about this upcoming show caught my eye. The actually summary and plot of the whole series sounded very interesting and gave me a feeling that this ABC drama might be another hit. It has suspense, the thrill as well as the whole 'innocents on the run' thing going on. The other thing which caught my eye was the cast, 4 people in which we have seen before. Aaron Stanford, from the two previous films (X-Men 2 & 3). Mathew Bomer, who was a star from the cancelled Tru Calling show, which I watched and loved. He played the character Luc, Tru's boyfriend. Another cast member, Logan Marshall-Green, who can be remembered as Trey Atwood from "The O.C.". And finally Steve Culp, as Rex Vad De kamp in "Desperate Housewives". Cant wait to see what ABC has in store for this series...We have yet to hear of a date, but I am sure it will happen very soon...
