“Hard Sun” is about a pair of cops who enforce the law even though they know Earth will be destroyed five years hence.
The critics are all over the place on “Hard Sun.” The Hollywood Reporter calls it “an ultra-violent, not very believable and mostly unlikeable hot mess that has bits and pieces that would, separately, make for more interesting series.” TV Guide calls it “high-intensity fun.”

David Guggenheim and Simon Kinberg’s “Designated Survivor,” which launched 18 months ago with an impressive 2.2 in the key 18-49 demo, fell last week to another new personal low of 0.6. Its return to ABC last Wednesday did not fare nearly as well as the return of CBS’ not-designated “Survivor.”
With the Olympics and “Big Brother” back in hibernation, CBS’ “Survivor” season premiere dominated last Wednesday, easily besting the once-mighty “Modern Family,” which fell to a new personal low.
“X-Files” last Wednesday hit its worst number since 2002.
