I don’t see any that intrigue me. I may get into whatever gets the most buzz and lasts more than a few episodes.

I’ll be sticking with old favorites that have yet to piss me off. They include:

Justified
Sons of Anarchy
The Good Wife
The Bridge
Boardwalk Empire
Ray Donovan
Masters of Sex
Bones
Survivor
Blue Bloods

College Football! :slight_smile:

I saw the pilot for Forever on On Demand, and it looked good enough to follow.

John Mulaney’s stand up is great, so I’ll try his show, even though the promos looked weak.
I’ll give Gotham a shot, although I think it’s probably doomed by its very nature.
I missed Broadchurh, so I’ll give Gracepoint a go.
Nothing else jumped out at me, although I’m sure something will get good buzz and convince me.
