   No idea.  All I really know about the casting is the lead is someone I   
   haven't heard of before and Michelle Yeoh apparently got shanghaied into   
   this, I assume because of a desperate need to keep her American SAG   
   medical insurance or some such.  Since I wouldn't be able to afford the   
   subscription fee and wouldn't be able to stream it if I did pay for it,   
   I have no need to pay attention except for the fun of mocking it.  :)
