Royal Pains is back for its third season on USA at 9p and it picks up months after the last one ended. Hank and Evan have found a new place to live and it really isn’t ideal for the two of them. Will they be able to find a new place fast?
Divya is still single and working for them, and her parents haven’t forgiven her for calling off the wedding. What repercussions will there be for her and there will be some?
There is a lot of love in question for all of them on tonight’s season premiere, but things will be heating up just like The Hamptons in the summer.
Besides dealing with their personal lives, they are still saving people and will do so in a grand way to start off the season with a bang!
I am so glad this show is back because it makes summer TV less dull.
And then at 10p the less dullness continues with the brand new show Necessary Roughness. When I saw it for the first time, I half-a$$ed watched it and wasn’t wowed by it. Then last night I watched it again and I was blown away by how this show scored a touchdown with me.
Callie Thorne plays a happily married Long Island mother of two teenagers, who also works as a therapist from her house. Everything is perfect until she checks her husband’s cell phone and finds pictures of several woman scantily dressed. So she kicks him out of the house and asks for divorce and her life is changed forever.
A few weeks after her split she goes out to a bar with her best friend and meets a guy that will turn her life upside down. Mark Blucas works as a physical therapist for the local professional football team. One of the player’s problems is not physical, but mental and his boss hires her to fix him. It won’t be easy but she is going to try her hardest with a no holds barred type of therapy. If she succeeds it will help change her barely making money business into a money making one.
Besides work she has to deal with a husband (Craig Bierko) who doesn’t want to give her divorce and two kids who struggling with it and acting out.
How will she balance it all? We will have to watch each week to find in this show that is different than the other shows on USA, but just as great.
And finally Callie Thorne is so perfect for this role that I could not picture anyone else playing it. Even though I am sad that Rescue Me is ending, knowing I can watch her on this Necessary Roughness is therapy enough for me.
