Today I'm going to take a quick look at the mid-season replacement for Lost, Day Break.
This new show features the talents of Taye Diggs, Rita Shelton and Adam Baldwin (from Firefly.)
Detective Brett Hopper (Diggs) is having a real bad day, a day where nothing goes right. A day that never ends as after going to bed each night he awakens to the beginning of the same day. This might sound like a grittier version of Ground Hog Day but we don't know yet.
On this particular day, Hopper is accused of killing Assistant District Attorney Alberto Garza. Realizing no one believes his solid alibi he is forced to run or be framed for a crime he did not commit. Along the way he discovers not just him, but also his loved ones, are in danger. Like Bill Murray before him in Ground Hog Day, he must solve the source of the crime to free himself from reliving the same day.
Caught in the action with him is his girlfriend Rita Shelten (Moon Bloodgood, Eight Below), Rita's ex-husband and Hopper's ex-partner, Chad Shelten (Adam Baldwin, Independence Day, Serenity, Full Metal Jacket) - now with Internal Affairs and jealous of their relationship. Hopper's sister, Jennifer Mathis (Meta Golding), Hopper's partner, Andrea Battle (Victoria Pratt, Mutant X, Cleopatra 2525), and reputed gang leader Damien Ortiz (Ramon Rodriguez) discovers that his police-protected cover has been inexplicably blown and that he is somehow connected to Hopper's dilemma and now a target in the conspiracy.
The series, which was created by Paul Zbyszewski (After the Sunset), is executive produced by Matthew Gross, Jeffrey Bell (Alias, Angel, The X-Files) and Rob Bowman (The X-Files, Elektra). Zbyszewski also serves as co-executive producer. Day Break is from Touchstone Television.

On the web page you are supposed to be able to watch some clips from the show but... I'm still using Linux and it does not appear to be working for me.
