American Crime is a fantastic television show.

The second season of the incredible network show “American Crime” premiered on the ABC television network last night.

I was lucky enough to not only see an advanced screening of season 2, episode 1 the night before at the 92 Y in Manhattan but also to have seen and heard from cast members and the incredible writer/director of the series John Ridley.

When such great, experienced (they all look great by the way) performers as Timothy Hutton, Felicity Huffman and Lili Taylor all are back and enthused about a second season with the “Incredible Mr. Ridley (not Ripley, though Ripley should be informed concerning this man’s ability and work) surely this is a show not to be missed.

This comes from someone so disappointed in television, especially network television.

I love the three performers as well gaining tidbits from all three both before and after the talk.

Mr. Hutton commented on his role as a basketball coach this season and told the audience he sought advice from the coach of the world champion Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr.

I will have more on the show, revealing now that the actors all have different roles in a completely new story line this season, in the future weeks.

To close this post, I feel so fortunate to have met the gracious, talented Timothy Hutton and to extend my praise for the work of his dad, actor Jim Hutton.

Sadly as Timothy pointed out we had Jim Hutton for far too short a time. On we all go, few carrying on his father’s legacy and adding to it, the way Timothy Hutton has done.
