Clipped offers a new sitcom set in a hair cutting place, in that not quite funny kind of way. Proof is probably an ok drama but I can’t get past the life after death concept. Deutsch gives us a German import about an East/West spy. Wives Club doesn’t show great promise in its lead up to Mistresses but I’ll check it out while Complications hasn’t gotten much great buzz. And Killjoys‘ space bounty hunters gives me reason to give Syfy one more try. And of course anything new on HBO is worth a look, for those that have HBO, and new PBS for those who do that.

Of the new scripted series I don’t necessarily have high hopes for manipulating a reality show (Unreal), children hearing nefarious messages (Whispers), some chick going into a person’s subconscious (Stitchers), or yet another tale of random people tied together by something (sense8)… but I will of course take a look for a new TiVo filler. But am thrilled for the return of the best psychopath out there, what is Hannibal up to now?

Consider this a special double issue. I don’t have a lot of faith in Tatau or The Messengers (though more in BBC than the CW), and don’t get Show for Happyish. And of course sad to see the very end of Justified and the start of the end of the cheesy but fun Lost Girl.
