midseason fun

As the shows keep rolling in here’s what has come in and will be coming. So far I’m mostly glad there’s not much to add to my queue.

• 1600 Penn (NBC) – I almost like this crazy family in the White House, and although some funny notes, not quite enough.
• The Americans (Fx) – So far so good for this 80’s Russian Spy drama, though admittedly I’ve only watched the first and curious where it will go.
• Banshee (Cin) – Alas no Cinemax for me but probably campy, sexy fun.
• Bates Motel* (A&E) – Prequel to Psycho, could go either way.
• The Carrie Diaries (CW) – Carrie lite in the 80s, as long as you think of it as a CW show and not a Sex prequel you might be happy, I can’t decide if I am.
• Continuum (Syfy) – Very Terminator time travelesque as rebels and a cop end up farther back in time than intended to in order to change the future, too syfy for me.
• Cult* (CW) – TV cults and crimes in a CW drama could be the terribly bad but possible good bad.
• Deception (ABC) – An alt take on the Revenge-ish feel with undercover cop and a very drama filled family is a little too dopey for me.
• Defiance* (Syfy) – Aliens settling on earth, hmm?
• Do No Harm (NBC) – Split personality doc cancelled after two episodes, I deleted without a watch.
• The Family Tools* (ABC) – Getting into the family handyman business.
• The Following (Fox) – The creepy drama about a killer psycho and his ‘cult’ of followers and the personal relationship to ex-FBI Kevin Bacon, I am so about to stop watching.
• Golden Boy* (CBS) – New cop, old cop.
• House of Cards (Netflix) – Kevin Spacey leads this Netflix only release, I really need to check it out.
• How To Live Without Your Parents* (ABC) – Sarah Chalke returns to tv as a single mom returning to her parents’.
• Legit (Fx) – An offbeat comedy about a terrible guy trying to be a not terrible guy, it’s a little too Larry David-ish for me.
• Monday Mornings (TNT) – I feel like this premiered and I missed it.
• Newsreaders (AdSw) – A spin-off of Children’s Hospital, for whatever that means to you.
• Out There* (IFC) – Animated monsteresque kids in action.
• Red Widow* (ABC) – Russian mafia for a newly single mom.
• Ripper Street (BBCA) – Set following the murders of Jack the Ripper the cops try to deal with the latest crimes, I tried the first of this but just wasn’t that into it.
• Vikings* (Hist) – The first scripted series from the historians, and it’s about vikings.
• Washington Heights (MTV) – Twenty-somethings, blah blah.
• Zero Hour (ABC) – Chasing conspiracies keep our protagonists busy.

* Still to come, stay tuned to ‘next week’s for premiere dates.
