Sure, on the surface, I'm a pop culture-obsessed, concert-going, movie-watching maven. But behind it all, I'm really just a nerdy, somewhat spy-obsessed gal. So TNT's new miniseries, "The Company," easily earned a spot on my list of reasons to keep the TV on this summer.
The three-night, six-hour exploration of the history of the CIA, which premieres this coming Sunday, Aug. 5, has an excellent pedigree. Based on an acclaimed novel by Robert Littell, the miniseries is directed by Ridley Scott and counts Chris O'Donnell, Michael Keaton and Alfred Molina among its cast. I have high hopes that this miniseries — like "Mad Men" — can be not just a great period drama but a great drama, period. I'll share my thoughts on the first episode later this week, but in the meantime, you can check out
this tense trailer and a sneak peak from the first episode.

I am very intrigued by this as well. I hope it doesn't disaapoint like Good Shepherd did (kinda the same premise if I recall correctly). My husband and I love this kinda stuff.
1sorry- *disappoint*
2The Company looks so good. Thanks for all the links, Buzz. I actually liked The Good Shepherd and am looking forward to watching this as well. Great cast; I'd watch Alfred Molino in just about anything!
3this does indeed look compelling!
4looks awesome. I hope they don't fall flat.
