I finished up the latest season of the fun Resident Alien (Syfy) and the second season of HBO Max’s Love Life that reaired on TBS.
I’ve also been trying to check in with new Fall TV. Monarch and The Rookie: Feds are both a pass for me. I am sticking around for more of Quantum Leap (NBC) and So Help Me Todd (CBS). I am also tuning in for at least one more of East New York (CBS), Family Law (CW), Alaska Daily (ABC), and Fire Country (CBS). And cable shows Interview with the Vampire (AMC) and Reginald the Vampire (CW). I think I missed Walker Independence (CW) which I’m not too heartbroken about.
As TV has continued to expand, I’m going to narrow the focus of these listings just a smidge. I’ll still be focusing on scripted shows. And I’ll still share the new shows starting on major networks, cable, and streaming. I might let some of the lesser items go. And I’ll no longer be sharing some of the more niche foreign/foreign language shows. I also won’t reference most returning streaming but will highlight the things I have my eye on. Ok, let’s go.
- The Winchesters (CW) Series Premiere, Tuesday 10/11, 8pm – I was not a Supernatural watcher but this is a prequel about their parents.
- Professionals (CW) Series Premiere, Tuesday 10/11, 9pm – Tom Welling stars as the head of a security team that does what it takes for those who pay top dollar.
- The Watcher (Net) Series Premiere, Thursday 10/13 – A good cast headed by Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale in this latest Ryan Murphy spooky mystery/thriller where I think its the house that’s out to get them.
- High School (Free) Series Premiere, Friday 10/14 – This show based on Tegan and Sarah’s memoir looks promising.
- Shantaram (App+) Series Premiere, Friday 10/14 – Charlie Hunnam returns for this love story/adventure where he’s a fugitive on the run in Bombay.
- Magpie Murders (PBS) Series Premiere, Sunday 10/16, 9pm – Based on a novel, this is a mystery in a mystery, maybe in a mystery.
- Annika (PBS) Series Premiere, Sunday 10/16, 10pm – A police procedural goes maritime and supposedly adds some wit.
- The Peripheral (Am) Series Premiere, Friday 10/21 – A sci-fi series centering Chloe Grace Moretz trying to hold together her family with a surprising future.
The procrastinator lists mostly scripted items that may not be on your regular season pass, though notation does not imply recommendation. Times noted are typically PST, please check your local listings.
