Elizabeth Reaser : The Ex List

The last time we saw Elizabeth Reaser, she was having a nervous breakdown on Grey's Anatomy, which had been preceded by a disfiguring accident, a bout of amnesia, facial reconstruction and, finally, a love affair gone awry.

The Ex List an adaptation of a hit Israeli show, it stars Elizabeth Reaser as Bella, a woman who gets two disturbing messages from a psychic: that if she doesn't marry in the next year, she never will; and that the man she is supposed to marry is someone she's already met and passed on. Bella's goal thus becomes working through her relationship history to find the guy she shouldn't have let get away. Like many new series, the premise seems a mite thin on its face, but Reaser is charming enough and that gives The Ex List a shot at catching on.
