Anyway...below are several new shows worth watching out for. But first, let's go through the recent cancellations. None of these strike me as surprising. How bout you?
- Constantine- Fox- Canceled but is being shopped around to other networks.
- In The Flesh- BBC America- British shows are not on the same schedule as US ones but it appears "In The Flesh" will not be returning. Fans (including myself) keep signing petitions. I hope the show finds a life elsewhere. How bout the SyFy channel?
- Intruders- BBC America- Another British import and my favorite show of 2014. To be honest, I'm not sure what else they could do in a second season. You cant improve on perfection. Just remember "what goes around, comes around".
- The Following- Fox- Sorry but I ditched you long ago.
- Helix- SyFy- I've been with "Helix" since episode 1 but unfortunately season 2 was a hot mess.
- Resurrection- ABC- Had somewhat of a following but couldnt live up to the "The Returned" hype. I did watch all of season 1.
- Stalker- CBS- Is also being shopped around. It might find a better home with the "Criminal Minds" crowd.
Hotlanta Apparently Just Got Hotter
NEW FALL SHOWS:
- Blindspot- NBC- A woman with amnesia is found in Times Square. The FBI follows the clues in her tattoos in order to uncover a conspiracy. The publicity photos were very compelling (see beginning photo).
- Containment- CW- Previously named "Cordon". A virus with a 100% mortality rate forces a quarantine of Atlanta. Those left inside are forced to fight for their lives. Kinda sounds like "the Walking Dead" without the zombies.
- Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders- CBS- Same "Criminal MInds" as usual but this one is outside the US.
- The Frankenstein Code- Fox- A corrupt cop is brought back to life in order to mend his ways.
- Legends of Tomorrow- CW- Another DC entry. Time traveler Rip Hunter is trying to change the future before its too late.
- Limitless- CBS- Based on the movie, NZT drugs give Bradley Cooper super human mental capabilities. And in case you didnt know, Bradly also started as Brian Sinclair in the movie.
- Lucifer- Fox- another entry from DC. The Devil travels to Los Angeles to help the LAPD punish criminals. That's strange, I thought he was already in LA.
- Marvel's AKA Jessica Jones- Netflix- A former superhero opens a detective agency.
- Minority Report- Fox- A TV adaptation of the EXCELLENT movie. Precogs put their powers to good use.
- Quantico- ABC- In the FBI freshman class hides a terrorist who's bent on America's destruction.
- Scream Queens- Fox- from Ryan Murphy of "American Horror Story" and "Glee" fame. Nuff said.
- Sense8- Netflix- eight people around the world are mentally linked after a death. The trailer looks very interesting.
- Super Girl- CBS- Superman's cousin is here to protect the American way of life.
- The X Files- Fox- If you dont know what this show is about then maybe aliens have already probed you. And yes I know the show premieres in the winter (and not the fall) but I'm just happy its back. If you need a Gillian Anderson fix in the meantime, check out "The Fall" seasons 1-2 on Netflix. You wont be disappointed.
