‘Shut Eye’: Watch the First Episode of Jeffrey Donovan’s New Psychic Drama Here
Ever look at those dingy psychic storefronts and wonder what goes on behind those doors? Hulu’s newest original series Shut Eye explores the high-stakes underworld of psychics in Los Angeles and the Roma (aka gypsy) crime family that runs it. Failed magician Charlie Haverford (played by Burn Notice star Jeffrey Donovan) is at the center of it all: a family man growing more and more restless as he runs scams and performs tarot card readings day-in and day-out. When he is bashed on the head by a client’s disgruntled ex-boyfriend, Charlie begins to experience strange visions of the future, leaving him wondering if he suddenly has genuine psychic abilities.
Shut Eye also features two of the toughest broads on TV (network, cable, or streaming): KaDee Strickland and Isabella Rossellini. As Marks crime family matriarch Rita, Rossellini is all gravitas and wily charm, while Strickland makes an even bigger impression as Linda, Charlie’s ambitious and dangerous wife of 14 years. In our recent Facebook Live interview (below), Jeffrey Donovan admitted he never knew what his co-star was going to do next, saying Strickland fully embodied “Linda’s cunning way of looking at life.”
