Stalker is suspense-thriller crime drama. Stalkers are a serious problem all over the world. In the last 25 years new anti-stalking laws have been created (including cyber-stalking laws) to protect victims from death and constant fear. CBS's new show Stalker is giving that serious crime a platform with accuracy that is just down right scary. I wouldn't recommend any victim of stalking watch the show because of the shear fear and terror it would cause them.
Here's a general synopsis of the show via CBS:
Who better to track a stalker than someone who shares similar behavioral traits? That's the premise behind this smart psychological thriller about detectives in the Los Angeles Police Department's Threat Management Unit. They take on all forms of stalking cases, from voyeurism to cyber harassment, all while trying to keep their own obsessions at bay.
In Los Angeles, the detectives of the Threat Assessment Unit tackle the toughest stalking cases for the LAPD. Maggie Q and Dylan McDermott star. This Fall on CBS.
From the looks of things it looks as if Dylan McDermott is playing something little bit outside of his norm. Aside from the witty comebacks and devilishly blue eyes (love that man's eyes *sigh* LOL) he's got some depth in this character. Depth beyond just being a hard ass. Maggie Q is always playing a strong female character (check out her role in CW's Nikita) and this one is no different. This show seems really interesting. Its got a strong, broad subject in Stalking. I hope it survives beyond Pilot Season.
Stalker will debut this fall on CBS.
