99 Words About … The summer vibes of USA’s ‘Graceland’
AMC, FX, HBO and Showtime have proved summer TV doesn’t have to be mindless.
But if you’re still inclined to turn off your brain and watch pretty people in pretty places, there’s always USA.
Inspired by real events, undercover FBI, DEA and Customs agents share a seized beach house in “Graceland” (10 p.m. Thursday).
Think “Point Break” meets “The Real World.”
From “White Collar’s” Jeff Eastin, it falls somewhere in the middle of the USA pack.
”Graceland” still shows promise, assuming it can overcome the pilot’s white-boys-be-trippin’ vibe.
Until then, though, it’s just a can’t-miss premise that somehow does.
