I dabbled with some of the new series over the last week. Will give The Big Leap, Our Kind of People, and The Wonder Years another view. I’m likely not going to continue with NCIS; Hawai’i, FBI: International, or Ordinary Joe. I also wrapped up sweet and odd The Detectorists (Am), brutal but still touching Mr. Inbetween (FX/Hulu), and the inaugural (will there be more?) season of The Ultimate Surfer (ABC) which was fun.
In addition to checking out some new shows like La Brea, CSI: Vegas, and Ghosts I’ll be checking out the return of United States of Al (CBS, 10/7), The Equalizer (CBS, 10/10), and the second half of the first season of Leverage: Redemption.
- La Brea (NBC) Series Premiere, Tuesday 9/28 – No word on this yet but fingers crossed this tale of a sinkhole leading to a primeval world has some fun and intrigue.
- Good Grief (SundN) Series Premiere, Thursday 9/30 – Two sisters inherit their father’s funeral home in New Zealand
- Ten-Year-Old Tom (HBOM) Series Premiere, Thursday 9/30 – An animated comedy from Steve Dildarian, no word but he did The Life and Times of Tim which I remember as having some moments, so maybe like that.
- Maid (Net) Series Premiere, Friday 10/1 – I’ve head some good things on this story of a woman fall into poverty and cleanig.
- CSI: Vegas (CBS) Series Premiere, Wednesday 10/6 – If you liked the original then sure, this return of some of the originals and introduction of new peeps and stories will likely be up your alley.
- One of Us Is Lying (Pea) Series Premiere, Thursday 10/7 – Based on a novel, five high schoolers walk into detention and only four make it out.
- Ghosts (CBS), Series Premiere, Thursday 10/7 – A couple inherit property and are turning it into a B&B when they find that it’s haunted, it’s based on a BBC series that is supposed to be pretty funny and I like Rose McIver (iZombie).
- Mr And Mrs Murder (Ova) Series Premiere, Thursday 10/7 – I’ve been picking up random older series rerunning on Ovation and kind of enjoying them, this one looks like it’s a light hearted crime show where a couple are crime scene cleaners who get involved in solving the crimes.
