NBC’s 13-episode event series “Aquarius” debuts today, effectively kicking off one of the most dynamic summer TV seasons in recent memory according to TheWrap’s TV-loving film reporter Jeff Sneider, who examines the current state of the small screen in this week’s episode of “What’s the Deal?”
It wasn’t too long ago that TV was a relative dead zone during the summer, when audiences were once content to gorge on Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters. That’s not the case anymore, as the TV industry is ready to fight for attention year-round.
HBO is trotting out new series such as Dwayne Johnson‘s “Ballers” and Jack Black‘s “The Brink,” both of which will debut on the heels of the second season of “True Detective,” which returns with an all-new all-star cast.
