I may have missed the window of touting mid-season shows as I’m going to officially consider June the start of summer. But before we look ahead I figured why not take a glance at some of the new shows that crossed our screens post fall. Following are some of the shows that are either renewed or still awaiting their fate with a notation of cancellations below. Anything stick for you?
- The 100 (CW) – A very typical CW show, a premise where only the under eighteen survive returning from space, or try to, but I’m still a little interested in the Lord of the Flies type rule with their internal politics and of course dealing with those already on the ground who aren’t too old themselves.
- About a Boy (NBC) – This show took some time to find its ground but I’m nostalgic enough to the book and the film to stick with the tv adaptation to see if they’re able to keep an endearing and amusing tone next season.
- Bitten (Syfy) – Werewolf drama didn’t quite have enough draw for me.
- Black Sails (Starz) – Not much word on this network I don’t get.
- Broad City (Com) – People are liking this show but I just couldn’t get into this gal pal off color humor.
- Chicago PD (NBC) – Somewhat of a spin off from Chicago Fire which I don’t watch either, looked fine but didn’t keep with it.
- Crossbones (NBC) – A more recent addition, it is almost intriguing enough to see where Malkovich and his pirate island will take us and the doctor protagonist, but really not.
- Faking It (MTV) – I applaud MTV’s approach on trying to find some new teen dramas, this reminded me a bit of Awkward which I stuck with for a bit but tired of.
- Fargo (Fx) – I still can’t decide whether I truly enjoy this show but it is definitely interesting with an odd but great cast and story, I’m staying tuned.
- Gang Related (Fox) – Rumor has it this show takes a few episodes to get its stride but the generic cop torn between two sides didn’t grab me.
- Helix (Syfy) – Campy and creepy, I had to tune out of this conspiratorial infection drama.
- Looking (HBO) – I don’t get this so I’ll stay tuned to see if the buzz and the SF local cause me to tune in at a later date.
- Metal Hurlant Chronicles (Syfy) – I have the first ep of this show saved and have tried to watch it a couple of times, the fact that I can’t says something, and it’s not something good.
- Night Shift (NBC) – Another generic offering, the hospital drama goes somewhat rogue, but saves lives, with the less than orthodox alt shift.
- Penny Dreadful (Show) – I’ve heard it’s odd but so far no clear raves.
- Playing House (USA) – I want to like these two actresses in their buddy comedy show, but it just didn’t quite do it.
- Red Road (Sund) – Something about a road, or communism…
- Resurrection (ABC) – This is the one that isn’t the French one that’s supposed to be good.
- Saint George (Fx) – If you missed George Lopez, check him out.
- Salem (WGN) – I knew there was more to those witch rumors, didn’t grab me.
- Silicon Valley (HBO) – Another lack of raves for this one.
- Sirens (USA) – I actually enjoy this off color take on the paramedics and their humorous drama.
- True Detective (HBO) – Now this one has gotten raves, on my to do list.
- Turn (AMC) – Something about a turn, or a spy…
- Undateable (NBC) – The latest dudes in a bar are so lame they are amusing, first watch more lame than amusing.
Canceled/Ending:
- The Assets (ABC), Bad Teacher (CBS), Believe (NBC), Chozen (FX), Crisis (NBC), Enlisted (Fox), Friends with Better Lives (CBS), Growing Up Fisher (NBC), Intelligence (CBS), Killer Women (ABC), Mind Games (ABC), Mixology (ABC), Rake (Fox), Star-Crossed (CW), Surviving Jack (Fox), Those Who Kill (A&E) (not officially cancelled but pulled)
