I doubt the network will be able to save itself with this. One of the backup series was probably chosen for PC reasons (and probably also to capitalize on the popularity of American Sniper), but it may draw some interest nonetheless:
“THE REAPER”
Based on the best-selling memoir “The Reaper” by Nicholas Irving, this event miniseries recounts the 100-day Afghanistan deployment of Sgt. Nicholas Irving, nicknamed ‘The Reaper.’ The first African-American sniper, Irving tallied 33 official kills during this single deployment, a record that still stands today. “The Reaper” is a boots-on-the-ground thrilling and raw account of modern warfare and how it changes, shapes, and sometimes destroys the people who fight in it. Tom Donnelly and Josh Oppenheimer (“Sahara,” “A Sound of Thunder,” 2011’s “Conan The Barbarian”) serve as writers and executive producers.
