Animated Mike Tyson, really? But the one review I read was positive so who knows.

Season_5_cast_banner

Not actually enthusiastic about Flash or Cristela, but they’re new. And I don’t actually get Kingdom (MMA fighter anyone) or Affair both of which are supposed to be good. And AHS this season is Freak Show and though I haven’t stuck with any of these I’m intrigued by each season’s new world. I guess it’s Walking Dead for me, I can only assume they don’t all get killed in the first episode.

madamsecretary

We’re dipping our toe into the fall pool and as I’ve probably stated I do try to give all the new ones a chance, particularly in the early weeks before I get backlogged. So Tea Leoni as Secretary of State is the most appealing to me and could be a great fit with Wife, which is still one of my faves. Debra Messing as Laura the mom/cop doesn’t look all that engaging but she can be amusing (or annoying). And I really can’t imagine myself sticking with the kids cancer ward Red Band but stranger things have happened.

sons-of-anarchy-season-7-poster-fx

intruders

Netflix adds a BBC police woman drama to the lineup, Intruders introduces another peculiar possibly paranormal tale of some peeps, and Masterpiece kicks off another mystery. As for reality I can’t really recommend ANTM to anyone who’s not already on-board but did find the intro of dudes last season to be a good one, and though it’s not a tattoo competition show will check out Epic to tide me over ’til the others return. And of course prepping for more tennis.
