Philip Winchester Fans: The Player is Here!

A busy week for fans of Philip!

We got Strike Back and the two guys' shows, Blindspot and The Player. Both premiered this week.

The Player was up against some well known and unexpected competition for its first night. But anyone who watched had a blast.

This is an action show. Think 80's action films, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme, Willis, little conversation, lots of driving, shooting, jumping, fighting, etc, with all the cliche's of Vegas and action. It is there for a purpose.

If you don't like cliches, it is probably not for you.

If you like a lot of dialog, you will be disappointed. But too much dialog at that late of the night can cause problems sleeping. You need something to ease and relax your mind.

If it is too fast for you to understand, you probably need to watch the other show on the other network, which is very, very, very slow.

If it sounds like the premise of another show, that is because the show was written by the guy who wrote another show.

This is action, pulp fiction, updated, time of your life, hold on to your seat, kind of a ride, show. It is really not much different than watching Strike Back, except you only have one of the two main characters, less dialog, and less...er...hot scenes.

There are twists, though...as was seen at the end of the first episode. It caught everyone off guard.

In a week or two, the director of Strike Back will be premiering his episodes on The Player. This is exciting! It is interesting how well it fits into the scope of his directing skills.

If you enjoyed or even loved the show, please tell everyone about it. DVR it, download the NBC app, watch it on your Roku, etc. It is a fun show with wonderful talent.

We invited the cast and crew to tweet with the fans on Thursday night. Unfortunately, they were still filming an episode, but they were able to do some tweeting with the fans.
