T2 WHATS UP! May 26 - June 1, 2019 "Training Day" series inspired by the 2001 film of the same name. Everything old really is new again. There was a heyday for psychic, clairvoyant and medi- um-centred television in the mid-2000s, with shows like "Medium" and "Ghost Whis- perer," that ended soon after we entered the 2010s. Though that was the end of mediums on scripted network television for that decade, the craze was kept alive with reality TV. "Long Island Medium" almost immediately filled the gap for avid fans of the genre when it premiered in 2011 and, perhaps as a signal that mediums are back yet again, "Hollywood Medium" began on E! in 2016. Since we live in an era of re- boots, it's notable that a fan fa- vourite on the spookier side of the supernatural was brought back from the dead earlier this year on CW with the reincar- nation of "Charmed." Three makes it a trend, so the CBS All Access reboot of the super- natural classic "The Twilight Zone" must also be counted here. Judging from the trailer for "The InBetween" released by NBC, the series seems to be leaning into the horror genre to set itself apart from other procedurals and to give a fresh twist to the psychic drama. In the trailer, Bedford is visited by spirits that appear not only as they lived, but also as gro- tesque versions of themselves, presumably as they died. With a string of recent horror hits, such as "It Follows," "Get Out" and "Hereditary," performing incredibly well at the box of- fice, there is undoubtedly an audience for supernatural hor- ror on the small screen. The series brings many popu- lar genres together, from the po- lice procedural to the supernatu- ral drama to some hints of hor- ror influence. "The InBetween" brings a new perspective to the evergreen procedural, but it's not just a gimmick. The twist of the supernatural makes the real- istic plots of investigating crimes feel even more real by showing what a detective would be imagining, psychic or not, Harriet Dyer stars in "The InBetween" continued on page T10 TV FEATURE A/Health Initiatives 2 x 5 Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease?
