Stream On with Jim Williams

On this edition of Stream On I talk with the talented funny Lucy Lawless about her new Australian TV series “My Life is Murder.” The series makes its U.S. debut on Monday August 5th exclusively on AcornTV.

I talk with Lawless about what drew her to the series as well as the talented and quirky cast that they have assembled for the show. I have seen the first three episodes and I highly recommend My Life is Murder.

Lawless plays the smart and sexy Alexa Crowe, a very cleaver private investigator and ex-homicide detective who seems to remain someone that her old boss Detective Inspector Keiran Hussy (Bernard Curry, Home and Away, Wentworth),always calls on to solve the toughest cases.

We talk with Julie Graham, Olivia Vinall and Julian Unthank from the Queens of Mystery an Acorn TV original series that is destine to be a hit.

On Monday (April 8th) Acorn TV will begin streaming a brand new original mystery series called the Queens of Mystery and after seeing the first two shows I can say without fear of contradiction that we are looking at a big hit. Simply put it is like no mystery show that you have ever seen on television and that is a good thing.

The opening two-part mystery, Murder in the Dark, finds the newly promoted DS Matilda “Mattie” Stone dispatched to Hiddledean Hall where all three of her aunts are attending the 15th Wildermarsh Crime Writer’s Festival. In a crime as strange as the fiction on display, the prestigious Golden Pick Axe Award has been found buried in the head of a prize nominee, and pages from his latest manuscript have been stolen.

Queens of Mystery, is a cleverly crafted whodunit style murder mystery that follows newly promoted 28-year-old Detective Sargent Mattie Stone (Olivia Vinall), and her three highly successful crime writing aunts – the motherly Aunt Beth (Sarah Woodward), the rebellious Aunt Cat (Julie Graham), and the book smart Aunt Jane (Siobhan Redmond).

Emilie Deutsch, Vice President, Original Programming and Features, CBS Sports spoke with me from New York about something that gets better every year. I am talking about NCAA March Madness Confidential, the great series of features that provides some of the best stories during the three week run to crown a national champion.

Last year they gave America the story of Sister Jean the nun who was the good luck charm for Loyola Chicago. She became a pop icon and social media darling.

So who will be that story we all fall in love with this year?

This year they will feature Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Houston, Nevada, Marquette and Murray State each team will be the subject of a number of outstanding behind the scenes features. Those features not only can be seen not only during on-air CBS broadcasts but across multiple platforms on CBS Sports, Turner Sports, and the NCAA.

Throughout the Tournament, features will run across multiple platforms – including studio coverage across TBS, CBS, TNT, and truTV – with online distribution via the official @MarchMadness Twitter and Facebook pages, @MarchMadnessTV, NCAA.com and CBS Sports and Turner Sports social media accounts.
