The best TV series to be released between April and May

Spring is coming and, like flowers on a digital lawn, the TV series bloom.

They have the vivid colors of the red cloaks of Gilead's maids or the lysergic hues of David Haller's hallucinations and the acrid scent of fire that blazes in Shondaland's new show.

After a March marked by more or less well-made products such as the excellent English crime miniseries Collateral, the fairytale A Series of Unfortunate Events 2 or the epic in the arctic circle of The Terror, April is characterized by expected returns and some news.

Finally we could see the second seasons of The Handmade Tales and Westworld, the final episodes of New Girl and the debut of the Gray's anatomy spin-off.

NSS informs you of the most interesting TV series coming in between April and May.

Sit back and press "play".

The Crossing, ABC, 2 April

A group of refugees seeking asylum in a small town in Oregon. They do not escape from a distant country, but from the America of the future torn by war. The local sheriff with a troubled past (Steve Zahn), a federal agent and a mother in search of her missing daughter are the key of this new mystery drama broadcast on ABC characters.

Dworkin and Beattie, creators of the show, got the idea of the project by looking at different photographs of refugees from Greece and Syria, in particular they were inspired by the image of a father who supported his son. Then, to give a twist to the plot, they added the theme of time travel.

Some have called The Crossing "the new Lost," the series will live up to the comparison?

Legion 2, FX, April 3rd

David Haller, the schizophrenic mutant of Legion, is back.

This time the visionary superhero will try to stop the Shadow King who is infecting people with a mysterious virus that causes them to fall into a catatonic state.

It's been a year since the story had stopped in the first season and some things have changed. In the promo of the new episodes we see David returning to his friends after a period of imprisonment, which, meanwhile, have formed an alliance with the men of Division 3 to capture Shadow King.

The debut of 2017 has been a critical and public success, fingers crossed so that it is also the second season.

Killing Eve, BBC America, April 8th

Based on the stories of Luke Jennings and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Killing Eve, marks the return on TV of Sandra Oh, aka Cristina Yang of Gray's anatomy.

Just a few lines of the trailer to get us into the atmosphere of the series:

"I know you're an extraordinary person, I know something happened to you, I know you're a psychopath."

Eve (the character played by the former doctor of Seattle Grace Hospital), a security officer of MI5 bored and frustrated,  says this to Villanelle (Jodie Comer), a killer of great talent who loves to enjoy the luxury that his violent work offers .

Between the two women there will be an indissoluble bond, fueled by hunting.

Deep State, Fox (Italy), 9 April

Max Easton, a retired MI6 agent, is called back into service for one last mission. Man believes it is an opportunity to avenge the perpetrators of his son's death, but, unfortunately, he finds himself implicated in an international conspiracy intended to exploit economically the political instability of the Middle East.

The plot of this British miniseries is not exactly innovative, but if you like spy stories, "Deep State" may be the right choice.

Lost in Space, Netflix, April 13th

This time Netflix offers the remake of Lost in Space, a TV series of the 60s, then became a film in 1998, which, now, is a classic of science fiction.

We are in a distant future about 30 years from our present. The Robinson family has been chosen to start a new life in space, but, by an accident, it goes off course.

To survive in a dangerous alien environment, it will be forced to make unusual alliances.

A curiosity: Netflix in fact sent the pilot episode to NASA so that the astronauts of the International Space Station saw it in preview.

The Alienist, Netflix, April 19th

Nineteenth century. A serial killer kidnaps many children and the local police led by new police commissioner Theodore Roosvelt relies on a psychologist (the title’s alienist) and his assistants to investigate these gruesome murders.

The ingredients of this miniseries from the best seller of Caleb Carr are excellent: Cary Fukunaga, that is the executive producer of the first season of True Detective; Hossein Amini already author of the beautiful Drive; Daniel Brühl, actor seen in Goodbye, Lenin! and Inglourious Basterds; the Dracula Untold Luke Evans and former child prodigy Dakota Fanning.

Westworld 2, HBO, April 22nd

An orchestral and very epic cover of Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana, created by the composer of the Ramin Djawad series, is the background to one of the trailers that anticipate the second season of Westworld.

In the images dominate chaos and blood.

The androids have now discovered that their entire existence was a lie their sole purpose was to entertain paying guests of the park, being killed, raped, tortured.

And they are no longer willing to bear it.

It will be Dolores who will lead their armed uprising against humans, between desolate plains and massacres.

The countdown for the first new episode has begun.

Appointment for the USA on April 22nd, for Italy exclusively on Sky Atlantic on April 23rd.

The struggle for survival begins.

Netflix puts forward its first Danish TV series, between desolate cities, fratricide fights between healthy and infected and an catastrophic mood.

Station 19, FoxLife (Italia), April 24th

After the American debut at the end of March, the spin-off of Gray's Anatomy also arrives in Italy.

The link between Meredith & Co. and the new series? Ben Warren (Jason George), the husband of Dr. Bailey, who left the profession of doctor to become a fireman.

The new heroine of Shondaland is, however, Andy Herrera, the daughter of a captain of firefighters who will replace her sick father at the helm of the barracks. She will have to learn to be respected by her colleagues and manage her complicated private life.
