Season 1, Episode 1 (Pilot)
The first thing you see is
Terry O’ Quinn (Lost) as he is
sitting and watching a symphony. He seems to be enjoying himself, but with this
actor you never know what to expect. One of the violinists seems to be in a lot
of pain as his fingers begin to bleed as he plays. In the next scene the
violinist is running through the halls of a very old, but very nice looking
apartment building. As he enters the lobby it’s full, but as he tries to leave
it’s empty. The lobby phone rings and he answers it. It’s O’ Quinn and he tells
the violinist that his time is up and he needs to pay. The violinist begs for
just one more year, but the man on the phone says no. He tries to make a break
for it, only to be pulled back in through a small hole in the door that
disappears.
The camera pans to show that
while the building is 999 Park
Avenue 666 Park Avenue
The next day (so it seems) a
young couple are coming in for a job interview. While they don’t initially get
the job, the woman gets them the job.
You get to meet a few of the
tenants.
It’s very intriguing and
obviously it starts off a little slow, but I’m hoping it will pick up. The show
stars Terry O’ Quinn as Gavin Doran (The Devil?), Vanessa Williams as Olivia
Doran, David Annable as Henry Martin, Rachael Taylor as Jane Van Veen, Robert
Buckley as Brian Leonard, Mercedes Masohn as Louise Leonard, Samantha Logan as
Nona Clark, and Helena Mattsson as Alexis Blume.
You only learn a little about
each of the above inhabitants of The Drake. Brian is a playwright and he lives
with his very successful fashion photographer wife, Louise. Louise hires the
object of her husband’s affection in Alexis. What we know of her is that she
lives directly across the street from the Leonards and seems to be very taken
with Brian.
Nona is a kleptomaniac that seemingly
sees things when she obtains an object.
I believe that the show will
pick up and I’m going to stick around to see what happens.
