SIX
January 18, 2017  | By David Bianculli

History, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: When James Gandolfini died unexpectedly, the producers of The Night Of recast his role by hiring John Turturro, who did a fantastic job with the role, but undoubtedly took it to a different place than Gandolfini would have. Six, this new scripted drama series from the History network, was to have starred Joe Mangianello – but health issues reportedly caused him to back out, and his part was filled by Walton Goggins, who’s done such amazing work on The Shield and Justified, and as a recurring guest star on Sons of Anarchy. He certainly deserves a starring role, but this drama, about a former Navy SEAL who is captured by Boko Haram (prompting his former fellow Team Six warriors to reunite and try to locate and rescue him), may or may not be it.
