On 06/12/2016 at 7:05 PM, possibilities said: So what's new for January; does anyone have a good list of "new shows" coming this winter? Sidereel has finally published theirs: http://www.sidereel.com/topic/midseason-preview-2017. They usually get a lot wrong with their Pick/Pan choices, but I like the format to see concise summaries of all the new shows at once. I'm planning on watching A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Good Fight, The Handmaid's Tale and Big Little Lies (which has an incredible cast), and I really hope new sitcoms Making History (Adam Pally/Leighton Meester) and Powerless (Danny Pudi/Vanessa Hudgens) will be good too. A million other shows sound interesting, but I'll wait for the reviews before starting anything else. Meanwhile, I watched Good Girls Revolt during the holidays and now I'm heartbroken it was cancelled. I loved it more and more with every passing episode. It had a lot of potential...

NutMeg January 16, 2017 Share January 16, 2017 (edited) The Young Pope is starting soon in the US, I've watched the first season and I loved it. I starts slow though, I was intrigued but not sold for a few episodes but ultimately I've loved that all the characters are much more nuanced that appears at first glance and that the show kept on surprising me in regards to the characters, in good ways. I've started watching Medici on Netflix, I'm two episodes in. It's amazing to me to see the history of the Italian family I've read the most about recreated in a reasonably accurate manner (time to reread all the books I have on the Medici family!) and of course I go *gleeeeee* at each sight of a place I've walked around, to, from, etc. over the years. Sorry, I have a thing with that city, Florence. Also, nice that we start three generations before the most famous Lorenzo, because Cosimo was truly a brilliant man, as well as a would be artist who ended up being a banker (no wonder I can relate...). Hopefully there will be enough episodes/seasons to explore the whole rise and fall of the Medici and beyond. The acting is excellent, well everything is. Dustin Hoffman was unexpected but he works well and in profile, well, he truly looks the part! Won't say more but would love it if there are other viewers out there.

It's one of the Big 4 (or 5 if we include the CW) networks available to most people in the country even without cable. As one of the major broadcasters, it airs original programming during the day and in prime time. Therefore, it's kind of hard to judge the quality of the shows since the network airs so many programs. It's easier to judge cable networks since they're usually more selective about what they choose to air. They only have original programming on one or two nights. CBS is mostly known for its procedurals like the NCIS franchise, Elementary and Criminal Minds. It also airs comedies like The Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls, Mom and The Great Outdoors. And for a long time, it aired The Good Wife which was widely considered to be the best drama on a major non-cable network. Other summer series include Under The Dome and Braindead. Quality can vary wildly. I think it might be better to look at the creators' pedigree than base it on the network. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/54050-this-just-in-new-cancelled-returning-and-on-hiatus-shows-news/page/8/#findComment-3043536

Wasn't the Baking Show a big ratings hit for the BBC? They should have paid what it took to keep it. The BBC is funded by licence payers' money - there are very, very strict rules over what they can and can't do with that money. If another channel is prepared to bid over the odds for a single show, the Beeb simply can't match them. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/54050-this-just-in-new-cancelled-returning-and-on-hiatus-shows-news/page/8/#findComment-3068199
Ceindreadh March 11, 2017 Share March 11, 2017 ABC Network in Australia has announced that the upcoming fifth season of The Doctor Blake Mysteries is going to be the last and that they'll be filming a telemovie to finish off the series (which possibly means that S5 won't air until they've filmed the telemovie) They've made a lot of comments about wanting to go out on top, but this is a network decision and not one made by cast or producers, so it's very disappointing and yes there are "save Doctor Blake" petitions and a Facebook page to try and get them to reconsider- or get another network to pick it up.

They've filmed Season 5 and normally it would have started airing by now, but I suppose they're going to hold it until the telemovie is ready to air as well.

patty1h March 15, 2017 Share March 15, 2017 I'll give most new shows a shot because you never know when you'll find a diamond in the rough. So far, the new show that impressed me the most is Legion. I was apprehensive about this because I usually never respond to superhero shows -- The Flash, Supergirl, Agents of Shield, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, etc. have all left me cold. Knowing this was based off of the X-Men franchise made me nervous, but I've been really enjoying Legion so far. Two shows that I watched the whole run but I don't think I would recommend as must-see TV were Taboo and Westworld. I started to nitpick and eyeroll a lot towards the end of their runs. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/54050-this-just-in-new-cancelled-returning-and-on-hiatus-shows-news/page/8/#findComment-3081117

The first episode aired on Saturday. Discussion forum here.

zxy556575 March 18, 2017 Share March 18, 2017 (edited) Amazon pilot season! There are only five this time, and no children's programming. Free for anyone to view. Maybe I'm just in a generous mood, but I enjoyed all of them. Maisel hit my sweet spot the most. Oasis (hour drama) - Set in the near future, Oasis tells the story of priest Peter Leigh, who is called to a remote planet where a mysterious multinational company is building the first permanent off-Earth human colony. The planet, Oasis, is humanity’s last chance to escape from Earth’s impending collapse, but it quickly becomes apparent that it may not be as hospitable to humanity as it seems. Richard Madden, Anil Kapoor, Antje Traue Budding Prospects (half hour comedy) - In 1983, three hapless guys from San Francisco are lured from their sex and drugs lifestyle to the countryside to grow marijuana. They find themselves stuck in a run-down cabin in the middle of nowhere, with harsh and unfriendly growing conditions, nosy neighbors, dangerous locals, and menacing law enforcement. Adam Rose, Joel David Moore, Will Sasso. The Legend of Master Legend (half hour comedy) - Master Legend is a real life superhero whose mission is the security and safety of the people of Las Vegas. Master Legend juggles the demands of justice with the even more complicated demands of his real family, who don't see him as a hero at all. John Hawkes, Dawnn Lewis, Anjelika Washington The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (hour comedy/drama) - It’s 1958 Manhattan and Miriam “Midge” Maisel has everything she’s ever wanted - the perfect husband, kids, and Upper West Side apartment. But when her life suddenly takes a turn and Midge must start over, she discovers a previously unknown talent - one that will take her all the way from the comedy clubs of Greenwich Village to a spot on Johnny Carson’s couch. From the creator of Gilmore Girls. Rachel Brosnahan, Michael Zegen, Tony Shalhoub, Alex Borstein The New V.I.P.'s (animated; half hour comedy) - Four low level employees seize control of a major corporation after accidentally murdering the CEO. Matt Braunger, Ben Schwartz, Missi Pyle Edited March 21, 2017 by Lord Donia 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/54050-this-just-in-new-cancelled-returning-and-on-hiatus-shows-news/page/8/#findComment-3091816
