Trying to keep up with some of the dramas, The 100, Americans, Orphan Black, Underground, and just wrapped the uneven but still kind of Sons of Anarchy/Justified-esque Outsiders and letting Fear/The Walking Dead sit there.

• Houdini & Doyle (Fox) Monday, Series Premiere – An imagined characters as period buddy detective show that doesn’t seem likely to be a keeper.
• Marseille (Net) Thursday, Series Premiere – French political drama is the latest offering from Netflix Originals, maybe.
• Grace & Frankie (Net) Friday, Season Premiere – I didn’t rave about the first season of this but definitely enjoyable enough for me to crank through the first season.
• The Good Wife (CBS) Sunday, Series Finale – It’s time for this show to wrap up but I’ll definitely miss the complicated and compelling characters and cases.

So a hard pass last week on Hunters and Game of Silence with a soft pass on The Detour which just didn’t quite win me over to the family trip gone awry. I also renegotiated my cable package and refrained from upgrading one level which would have gotten me back into Spike and added Sundance. I’m not sure TV is the area where I need to budget but there’s just something about spending money when I already have too much tv to watch, though I am still holding out for next seasons of Rectify and Returned to be available.

• Containment (CW) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 9pm – There’s some sort of outbreak in Atlanta, I’ll take a look though not overly optimistic about this off time CW release.
• The Night Manager (AMC) Mini-series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – This looks like it might be worth a watch, based on a John le Carre Novel, anything with Hugh Laurie in it has potential.
• Time Traveling Bong (Com) Mini-series Premiere, Wednesday, 10:30 – I’ll pass on this but if you’re an Ilana Glazer of Broad City fan might be worth a look.
• Rebellion (Sund) Mini-series Premiere, Sunday, 9pm – Another pass for me on what looks like a lackluster historical drama about the Easter Rising in Ireland.

I’ve been taking this lull to try to polish off my X-Files viewing but of course there is more left than I thought.

• Everything is Copy (HBO) Monday, 9pm – A look a Nora Ephron that’s rumored to be well done.
• Heartbeat (NBC) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 9pm – This heart surgeon medical drama with Melissa George just looks bad and I haven’t heard anything critical to dissuade me of that.
• You, Me, Her (Dir) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 9pm – A married couple adds an escort to their romantic life, ok.
• The Catch (ABC) Series Premiere, Thursday, 10pm – Willing to have some hopes for this Peter Krause/Mireille Enos Con Man/PI show.

So I’ve stopped noting season premieres for the most part but with streaming curious how they all work. For normal TV I just have a season pass set, so if it’s a show I watch I get it when it comes back but streaming… Netflix seems to send me an email (which is probably a preferences thing) and I know if I tune in they will most likely, but not always, show it in the big banner. Since I’m not a pay user of Amazon or Hulu, or any other random service, I wonder how well they prompt you? Who can keep up with it all?

• Damien (A&E) Series Premiere, Monday, 10pm – The Omen grows up, not supposed to be good at all.
• Little Big Shots (NBC) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – Steve Harvey shows of cute kids with talents.
• Of Kings and Prophets (ABC) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – One of those period things, ruler of Israel, future leader, meh.
• The Victoria’s Secret Swim Special (CBS) Wednesday, 9pm – Not sure this needs explanation.
• Underground (WGN) Series Premiere, Thursday, 10pm – As in underground railroad, this additional scripted drama on this network should be worth a look.
• Bosch (Am) Season Premiere, Friday, 3am – Since I know peeps have their eye on this one.
• Flaked (Net) Series Premiere, Friday, 3am – Will Arnett comedy always means I’m intrigued.
• The Characters (Net) Series Premiere, Friday 3am – 30 min sketch comedy put on by new peeps each time, not my bag but who knows.
• Party Over Here (Fox) Series Premiere, Saturday, 11pm – More sketch comedy.

I went on a miniseries binge to clear some TiVo backlog, catching Wolf Hall and Tut, both entertaining though different in tone, similar in theme on those silly royals and their need to birth heirs. I’m still not paying for Hulu or Prime but will check out Love when it becomes available.

• 11.23.63 (Hulu) Series Premiere, Monday, 3am – The Stephen King book gets adapted.
• Grammys (CBS) Monday, 8pm – Songs and singers and stuff.
• The New Yorker Presents (Am) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 3am – This dabbling of items might like the magazine sit in my backlog.
• Gonzaga (HBO) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – They turn to take a look at college basketball.
• Join or Die with Craig Ferguson (Hist) Series Premiere, Thursday, 11pm – Craig sits down to chat with folks, he says it’s more discussion style than interview.
• Cooked/Love (Net) Series Premiere, Friday, 3am – A four part docufood series with Michael Pollen and a new romantic comedy from Judd Apatow.
• The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60/Journey to the Oscars (ABC) Sunday, 8/9pm – A look at the parks with some tributes and some of the actors that are on their way to gold.
• An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows (NBC) Sunday, 9pm – I think this is the friends reunion they keep talking about.
