NBC's The Player (debuting Thursday, September 24th), from Leverage's John Rogers and The Blacklist's John Fox, looks to bring back the weekly mini-action film aspect of 80s TV with a fast-moving, wall-to-wall shoot 'em up story about a reformed government assassin becoming the pawn of high stakes one-percenter gambling ring that bets on the outcomes of crimes.
Crimes, it should be said, they've predicted will happen based on surveillance technologies and various algorithms. Making The Player the third, and most blatant, offshoot of CBS' Person of Interest this fall season. Other shows like Minority Report and Blindspot also deal with predicting murders and disasters, but The Player (which counts POI producer Amanda Segel among its ranks) is the one that directly lifts the hard premise of POI - and then creates a wild circus around it.
