It was TVNZ's turn to show off which series they'll be screening in 2010 at their new season launch today in Auckland.  As you'd expect, there's a fairly solid line-up.

TV One has a new goal:  to be a little edgier.  One might assume: a little less safe.  It will be interesting to see how this transcribes into ratings.

TV One should dominate Mondays with The Pacific, an HBO series from the makers of Band of Brothers.  This will be followed by the multi-Emmy award-winning series Generation Kill. However, as it aired in the US in 2008, it can be bought on DVD here for about $40.

I read this on the Herald website, they both sound promising.

It's a double dose of good news for Go Girls creators Gavin Strawhan and Rachel Lang, who are also the team behind TV2's upcoming series This is Not My Life, which has started filming in Auckland.

The 13-part series, which received close to $7 million in NZoA funding, is described as a "high-concept action/mystery drama" and will star former Hercules and Street Legal actor Charles Mesure.

Mesure has returned from Los Angeles, where he had guest starred on Ghost Whisperer, Crossing Jordan, Cold Case, Bones, Without a Trace, Lost and more.

He will star opposite Tandi Wright (Shortland Street) and Miriama McDowell (No. 2).
