His captain (Laura Innes from ER, The Event) and his partner "Bird" Freeman (Steve Harris from Homicide: Life on the Streets, Law & Order) worry about Britten's sanity as he moves between two reality scenarios that are equally terrifying. Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter films, The Patriot) is detective Britten, a man who is Awake through his sorrow and visions. He wears colored rubber bands, each one different for the reality he sees.

Longmire storyline is loosely based on Craig Johnson's novels about old fashioned Sheriff of Absroka, Wyoming County. He widowed only a year ago and still hides his soul's pain underneath the unassuming grin and impassive face. He wears a true to type cowboy hat, leather boots and holstered gun. All these attributes makes him looking similar to Raylan Gyvens (Justified). But Longmire personality features quite different traits. But in opposite of brave, but somewhat reckless Raylan, he is much wiser, seasoned and experienced. He is accompanied by Victoria "Vic" Moretti, an ex-cop from Philadelphia Homicide Department, played by Katee Sackhoff. You may know her by roles in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Battlestar Galactica and Sexy Evil Genius (as Nikki Franklyn). The main intrigue about her is how the proficient Philly policewoman have stuck in the middle of the Wyoming boondocks. The next intrigue unfolds in the pilot episode, a murder which traced back to "The Res", an Indian reservation where white men's legislation have nothing to do with Indian traditions and laws. The third intrigue revolves around the person of Deputy Branch Connally who appears to represent the "shady" forces of Longmire's team.

Using state-of-the-art technology and amazing skill with make-up and costuming, Chance, the main character, becomes literally a human target. In each episode of "Human Target," Chance assumes the identity and everyday life of a prominent person in danger. Describing himself as an "extreme bodyguard," Chance uses his wits, skills, and wise-cracking bravado to turn serious danger into a trap for the villains. The sinister evil-doers plot kidnapping, blackmail, extortion, and especially death; the "human target" plots capture. Not the kind of thing for which an ordinary guy usually would volunteer. "Human Target" TV show was praised by the critics and audiences for the quality of the acting"”especially the performances by Earl Haley, Jr., which make a somewhat implausible premise absolutely believable and compelling. Because "Human Target," a decidedly out-of-the-box crime drama, is loosely based on the DC comic series of the same name, the creators have no shortage of bad guys, nor do they struggle to find quirky characters for Chance to impersonate. Critics and audiences agree that the actors playing the three main characters go a long way toward redeeming the show's average, sometimes genuinely awkward writing. They wonder, though, will the actors be able to hold the viewers' attention and loyalty long enough for the writing to fulfill the promise in the premise?

The Surgeon, one of a series of books written by Tess Gerritsen supplied the backstory for the hot new series on TNT named Rizzoli & Isles (after the two main characters in the book). Angie Harman (Baywatch Nights, Law & Order) is a homicide detective in Boston. She finds her life in danger in the first episode when a former medical student attempts to kill her as he has several other voluptuous women. The chief Medical examiner for the state of Massachusetts is Dr. Maura Isles, played by Sasha Alexander (NCIS, Dawson's Creek). Isles is a no nonsense woman dedicated to doing her job well and due to her profession those who know her tend to call her "Queen of the Dead". Rizzoli & Isles develop a good teamwork attitude and solve crimes each week but the one that haunts them both involves Charles Hoyt, a man who was expelled from med school for fondling the female corpses. Rizzoli has scars on her hands from a time when Hoyt stabbed them with scalpels, pinning her to the floor. Hoyt's role is a recurring one so watch for more of that vile character played well by Michael Massee, an actor who plays villains particularly well.
