Outlander a time travel romance? based a book series might be worth a peek as is Soderbergh’s latest Knick with Clive Owen as a doc at the turn of the century, but maybe a pass on Partners not sure Grammer and Lawrence can save it.

A couple new comedies to check out including undoubtedly slightly off kilter FX with relationship shows Married and The Worst. USA tries its hand at more anti heros with doc for hire Rush and successful family man turned escort in Satisfaction and a touch more odd science with genetic baby raising Lottery and the docudrama Gunslingers. Nothing looks noteworthy but might be some decent summer fare. And of course more reality.

Taxi Brooklyn sounds ridiculous but rumor has it the chemistry in the cop drama adds a little something though time will tell as with the premise of legal chemistry on Reckless. Speaking of chemistry who would miss Tori and Jenni together again, ok it looks dumb as does the personal chef half hour pairing but sometimes the lighter fare works, and for other nostalgia Girl follows the next generation of the family (from Boy Meets World). Tyrant as FX’s latest offering is of course worth a look as is the latest where did the people go drama Leftovers.

As to our new reality fare, oh CeeLo… but if you like your real estate and you like Miami or nudists there’s something for you; Fat is more about cars than fat while Oprah’s Operation is Haiti focused. And of course dance studios are rescued as is plastic surgery, who could argue with that? And of course Wimbledon starts this week so tune in for the fortnight.

Dominion takes Legion the movie that we didn’t pay attention to and makes a series we may pay less attention to, The Last Ship is a new take on the post-apocalyptic in a military fight against a virus, and The Muskateers is probably not surprising but who knows. Reality brings us another comedy comp in Funniest and some fake dumb Brits which I doubt is funny at all and Rising Star brings another take on the musical competition and a search for the next great food combo in Frakenfood while Pools may bring a variety of outdoor makeovers. Other than that I’ve heard good things about Rectify but have yet to catch up on the first season.

The latest murder series, In the First, is a season long case may be worth a look, as is the new I’m sure somewhat heartwarming Chasing Life. And letting the ridiculous premise go I still am enjoying Suits. I will pass on the latest reality of Smo.

I’m maybe not as rabid as some fans but am excited for another season of OITNB which makes for nice binge viewing, though I still haven’t caught the second season of House of Cards. Jennifer Falls is a new option for sitcom lite, though these mostly aren’t as charming as their attempt to recapture the Golden Girls magic with Hot in Cleveland. Reality fare Ladies of London, Famous in 12, Siberian Cut, Untying the Knot, Escape Club look to me as more of the same.
