BACKSTROM Recap: ‘Love is a Rose and You Better Not Pick It’

Hello BACKSTROM fans! It’s hard to believe we are in the final half of season 1. I have to say that the past couple of episodes, including this one — “Love is a Rose and You Better Not Pick It” — have been great, and the show’s style has been more successful lately. I would be glad to see this show renewed for a second season. Until any announcement has been made one way or the other, let’s discuss this episode! Read more

BACKSTROM Recap: ‘Inescapable Truth’

Hello, BACKSTROM viewers! Did you like this episode, “Inescapable Truth”? There were some good laughs, some hints of romance, and the episode had a darker side as well. All combined, it felt a little uneven at points, but for the most part, the episode worked for me—and there certainly were many truths inescaped learned. There’s more to discuss, so let’s get to it!

BACKSTROM Recap: ‘Give ‘Til It Hurts’

Hey BACKSTROM fans! The show is back after a mini-break, and this episode, Give ‘Til it Hurts, saw Portland’s Special Crimes Unit investigating the death of a wealthy philanthropist, featured many of them in formal wear (it’s a good look), and more scenes with Backstrom’s ex-fiance Amy, played as always by the great Sarah Chalke. I liked this episode pretty well; in fact, I think it might be my favorite of the series so far. Let’s discuss! Read more

BACKSTROM: Rainn Wilson Teases Meeting Backstrom’s Father

Another piece of BACKSTROM’s title character falls into place with tonight’s episode: viewers will meet his father.

As you might expect, Backstrom and his father, Sheriff Blue Backstrom (guest star Robert Forster), don’t exactly have the best relationship. In fact…Backstrom can’t stand the guy.

On the show’s Vancouver set, Rainn Wilson (Backstrom) teased a bit of what’s to come…

BACKSTROM Video: Kris Polaha Reveals the Origins of the Newly-Revealed Romance — and Brainstorms Potential (Awkward) Couple Names

BACKSTROM revealed a secret romance in last night’s episode, “Ancient, Chinese, Secret.”

According to series star Kristoffer Polaha (Niedermeyer), the seeds were planted from the start, as he told his co-star, Beatrice Rosen (Paquet) they should just play that there was something there. And, voilà!

On the show’s Vancouver set, Polaha spoke with reporters about the romantic revelation…and, after learning what the term “shipper” means, tried to help brainstorm what the couple’s name should be…

BACKSTROM Exclusive Video: The Cast (and Hart Hanson) Goof Around While Promoting the Series

Think you know the new Fox series, BACKSTROM? Well, just wait until you hear the cast and creator Hart Hanson attempt to explain it.

In the (hilarious) exclusive video below, the cast — Rainn Wilson, Dennis Haysbert, Genevieve Angelson, Kristoffer Polaha, Page Kennedy, Beatrice Rosen, and Thomas Dekker — and Hanson share their pitches for the show, but can’t get it quite right. There are a lot of giggles, pitches to show Wilson’s butt on network TV, some misspeaking (nope, this isn’t taking place in the “special victims unit”), a ton of poking fun at each other, and general hilarity.

Just try to watch this video and keep a straight face… Read more
