A new drama thriller from Kevin Williamson premieres tonight (October 1), and it stars KSiteTV favorite Maggie Q opposite Dylan McDermott.
Here’s how CBS describes the show, which premieres at 10PM and is called Stalker:
STALKER stars Maggie Q and Golden Globe Award winner Dylan McDermott in a psychological thriller about detectives who delve into the minds of stalkers to protect their targets from future incidents – including voyeurism, cyber harassment and romantic fixation – for the Threat Assessment Unit of the LAPD. Det. Jack Larsen is a recent transfer to the Unit from New York City’s homicide division, whose confidence, strong personality and questionable behavior has landed him in trouble before – but whose past behavior may also prove valuable in his new job. His boss, Lt. Beth Davis, is strong, focused and an expert in the field, driven by her traumatic personal experience as a victim.  Other team members include young but eager Det. Ben Caldwell, deceptively smart Det. Janice Lawrence and District Attorney Amanda Taylor who is trying to erase her painful past with Larsen.  With their help, Davis and Larsen assess the threat level of cases and respond before the stalking and intimidation spirals out of control, all while trying to keep their personal obsessions at bay.
Is the show worth watching? Some who have seen Stalker find the violence to be a bit much; however, there is a sense of danger toward everyone – male and female – present in the show, and some of the more creepy aspects of the show are sadly taken from real life. The Threat Assessment Unit is based on a real-life thing, and seeing Maggie Q representing that on the series is definitely a good thing. Look for surprising aspects from Dylan McDermott’s character that lesser actors would not have been able to pull off.
Here are some photos from the series premiere:
