But, in TV, you also need a good story. A dose of edginess wouldn’t hurt, either. HEARTLAND, the new TNT series (Mondays at 10 p.m.) is a fine — though hardly spectacular — series.  And, if you think that’s damning it with faint praise, well, you’re right. At its heart is Dr. Nathanial Grant (Treat Williams), who is gruff and rough, though certainly not heartless. He’s passionate about his work, but has little time for anything that resembles a relationship. How do we all know this? For one thing, he smokes. How much more rough and gruff can you be? For another, he apparently can’t be bothered to learn his associate’s name. Instead, he calls Dr. Simon Griffith (Chris William Martin) by his birthplace — Vancouver — rather than his name. (It could have been worse. He could have been from Cucamonga.) en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/19/Heartland--Everwood-for-Grown-Ups.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/19/Heartland--Everwood-for-Grown-Ups.aspx#738 I am happy to see Treat Williams in another series. However, the fact that heis yet again playing a Doctor seems a little cliche to me. Where will we see him next? On ER?
