World War One Centenary - BBC

Featuring four years of programming and events spanning 2014-2018 – echoing the timeframe of the war – the World War One Centenary on the BBC will be unique in scale and breadth - it is the biggest and most ambitious pan-BBC project ever commissioned with more than 2,500 hours of programming already planned across television, radio and online and across our international, national and local services.

Internationally BBC World Service and BBC World News will reflect the very different ways in which the war is remembered and commemorated around the world and will be both staging special debates and delving into individual stories.

"In trying to reach many different audiences, we are commissioning programming that will connect young people with the war beyond what they perhaps studied at school. With over 130 specially commissioned programmes and around 2,500 hours of programming, the BBC will be shining a spotlight on the First World War across all of our services. What we offer over the coming four years will be much more than a chronological historical record. We are setting out to broaden people's understanding of the war and to commemorate and remember those who died. Through documentaries, drama, news coverage, children’s programmes and arts and performance, we will tell well-known stories from fresh perspectives and original stories so far untold." said Adrian Van Klaveren, Controller, World War One Centenary

Sandy is in a race against time to save the Soviet intelligence officers from being caught and killed.

Relatively happy in their home lives, they are, however, drawn to each other.

Of all the notorious lawmen who ever patrolled the violent Texas frontier, none are more storied than the Texas Rangers.

She’s even willing to break some rules to get it done. While she’s surrounded by law enforcement colleagues who want to see her fail, there are those within the Rangers who have her back including her boss, Company Commander Luis Zea.

Molly also has the support of her loving family including her brother Billy and his wife Becca. On the verge of getting divorced from her smarmy husband Jake, Molly relishes her newfound freedom even as she begins an affair with a sexy, dangerously handsome DEA agent, Dan Winston.

A mix of famous and funny male and female celebrities will offer their opinions about what men are really thinking. And for successfully getting inside the Mind of a Man, one of the contestants will walk away with the grand prize.

From Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf and the team behind "Chicago Fire" comes "Chicago PD," a riveting police drama about the men and women of the Chicago Police Department's District 21 who put it all on the line to serve and protect their community. District 21 is made up of two distinctly different groups: the uniformed cops who patrol the beat and go head-to-head with the city's street crimes and the Intelligence Unit that combats the city's major offenses - organized crime, drug trafficking, high profile murders and beyond. The vast responsibilities that these jobs entail extend far beyond the walls of the precinct, often taking an emotional toll on personal lives of these men and women.

Chasing Shackleton - PBS

Amongst them is Beef a lady-obsessed lothario, not to be confused with Bosh, a Geordie ex-con, who has designs on moving in as well.

Just as Vic and Bob bent the rules of the panel show format, House Of Fools does the same to the studio sitcom. House Of Fools is half an hour of unadulterated Reeves & Mortimer, anarchic japes, unimaginable props and impossible situations.

International Plan - IFC

A comedy about two newly single guys who travel around the world looking for love, and in the process form an invaluable friendship. The project is based on the writers' true story: Michael Blieden (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) and Eric Ledgin (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon).

New Worlds - Channel 4

Jamie Dornan, Freya Mavor, Alice Englert and Joe Dempsie star as young idealists during the Restoration period in an ensemble cast of new four-part historical drama New Worlds.

Set in the turbulent 1680s, the drama takes place on both sides of the Atlantic, as two young men and two young women commit their lives to a fairer future with blood, passion and urgency. New Worlds is a gripping story of love and loss and the human price paid for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Old School - ABC1

Penny Dreadful - Showtime

Some of literature's most terrifying characters, including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula are lurking in the darkest corners of Victorian London. Penny Dreadful is a frightening psychological thriller that weaves together these classic horror origin stories into a new adult drama.

The series stars Eva Green, Josh Hartnett and Timothy Dalton and was created and written by Oscar nominee John Logan (Gladiator, The Aviator, Hugo and Skyfall)

Playing House - USA

Childhood best friends Maggie Caruso (Lennon Parham, “Best Friends Forever”) and Emma Carter (Jessica St. Clair, “Best Friends Forever”) have shared countless adventures growing up together in the charming town of Pinebrook, CT.

Now, Maggie and Emma are in store for one of their biggest adventures—raising a baby. When Maggie discovers that her husband is having an online affair with a muscular German woman, Emma gives up her burgeoning business career in China to stay in their hometown and help Maggie raise her baby. Meanwhile, as Maggie prepares for the birth of her first child and the fallout of her marriage ending, Emma must confront the past that she abruptly left behind thirteen years ago -- her first love and local cop Mark, her prim-and-proper mother and a small town that she’s never felt comfortable in. Despite their differences – Emma is brash, bold, and assertive while Maggie is grounded, rational, and safe – the women complement each other the way only best friends can, by facing the challenges of their past, present and future--together.

Reckless - CBS

Reckless is a sultry legal drama set in Charleston, S.C., where a gorgeous Yankee litigator and a charming Southern attorney must hide their intense mutual attraction as a police sex scandal threatens to tear the city apart. Jamie Sawyer is enviously cool, confident and armed with south-side-of-Chicago street-smarts as she takes on the good ol’ boys in the South. Her handsome courtroom rival, Roy Rayder, a divorced father of two, embodies the Old South and is the newly minted City Attorney, thanks to his influential former father-in-law, Dec Fortnum.

When disgraced cop Lee Anne Marcus hires Jamie to represent her in a lawsuit against the police department, Jamie and Roy discover that Lee Anne is at the epicenter of a sinister case with dire implications for the members of the Charleston P.D. Heading that department is Deputy Chief Holland Knox, a family man who radiates integrity. Working under him are Terry McCandless , a cocky and corrupt detective and Preston Cruz, Jamie’s well-respected boyfriend who might not be all that he appears. Helping Jamie is her confidante and paralegal, Vi, an expert at digging up case-winning information. As Jamie and Roy spar in and out of the courtroom, dark secrets simmer behind every door and threaten to tarnish the genteel facade of seductive Charleston.

Salem - WGN

Set in the volatile world of 17th century Massachusetts, Salem digs deep into the dark, supernatural truth hiding behind the town's infamous witch trials -- separating the real witches from who they are perceived to be. The drama also centers on an epic romance wrapped around this explosive revelation.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Hallmark

A Hallmark Channel Original Series, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" introduces a dedicated quartet of civil servants in the Dead Letter Office of the U.S. Postal System who transform themselves into an elite team of lost-mail detectives. Their determination to deliver the seemingly undeliverable takes them out of the post office into an unpredictable world where letters and packages from the past save lives, solve crimes, reunite old loves, and change futures by arriving late, but always miraculously on time.

St. George - FX

The multi-camera ensemble comedy revolves around the chaotic life of a recently divorced working class Mexican-American turned successful entrepreneur. In the sitcom, Lopez will portray a man who struggles to balance his demanding ex-wife, his 11-year-old son, his overbearing mother who just moved in, and his uncle, as well as his new role as a philanthropist “giving back” by teaching history once a week at a night school.

FX has given an initial 10-episode order to the project and if it meets pre-set ratings thresholds over the 10-episode run, the network will trigger an additional 90-episode pickup the way it did last year on Anger Management.

Surviving Jack - Fox

Surviving Jack is a new comedy based on best-selling author Justin Halpern’s autobiographical book, “I Suck at Girls.” Set in 1990s Southern California, the ensemble series is about a man becoming a dad, as his son is becoming a man, in a time before “coming of age” was something you could Google.

The Ark - BBC One

Marking 100 years since the start of the First World War, this gripping drama presents one of the Great War’s untold stories. In a tented field hospital on the coast of France, a team of doctors, nurses and women volunteers work together to heal the bodies and souls of men wounded in the trenches. The hospital is a frontier: between the battlefield and home front, but also between the old rules, hierarchies, class distinctions and a new way of thinking.

The Black Box - ABC

The Black Box centers on Elizabeth Black, world renowned neuroscientist who appears to have it all but is constantly haunted by her own struggle with mental illness. And that is not the only secret she’s kept locked away from her family and her new fiancé.

The Divide - WE tv

From AMC Studios comes WE tv's first scripted series - The Divide.

The Divide is an exploration of personal morality and how all people – especially ambitious people – struggle with the shades of gray found in the absence of a simple, ordered moral universe. The show probes how truth coexists in the modern justice system alongside ambition, ethics, politics and race.

As an impassioned case worker with The Innocence Initiative, Christine Rosa delves into the case of a death-row inmate she believes was wrongly convicted of a young family’s heinous murder 11 years earlier. She chases down new evidence in a search for the truth and confronts an equally passionate district attorney, Adam Page, whose view of justice is colored by shades of gray.

Throughout the journey, Christine and Adam’s pasts resurface as they are faced with the question of one man’s guilt or innocence intertwined with their own personal histories.

The Legacy - BBC4

The Danish series (airing on DR as Arvingerne) is a modern family portrait – a depiction of the 68 generation and their children … that examines what it means to be a family in a time when traditional patterns of family life have undergone radical change.

The Musketeers - BBC One/BBC America

The Musketeers is set on the streets of seventeenth century Paris, where law and order is more an idea than reality. More than King Louis XIII’s personal bodyguards, Athos, Aramis and Porthos stand resolutely for social justice, for honor, for valor, for love – and for the thrill of it. Luke Pasqualino will star as D’Artagnan alongside Musketeers Tom Burke as Athos, Santiago Cabrera as Aramis and Howard Charles as Porthos. Together they are a crack-team of highly trained soldiers.

The Night Shift - NBC

At San Antonio Memorial, those who work the 7pm – 7am shift are a special breed. Welcome to the night shift, where every day is a fight between the heroic efforts of saving lives and the hard truths of running a hospital. After a grueling tour of duty in Afghanistan, adrenaline junkie TC Callahan became accustomed to combat, but he could have never guessed that his toughest battles would be fought right here at home. TC and his irreverent team of late night docs know how to let off steam with the casual prank or two, but when lives are at stake, they are all business.

Unfortunately, the night shift is now under new management, and boss Michael Ragosa is more interested in cutting costs than helping people. But TC has never met a rule he couldn't break, or a person he won't stand up to. And it's clear that not even Jordan, TC's ex-girlfriend and now Ragosa's second in charge, has a chance at keeping him in line. If Ragosa wants a war... he'll get one.

The Red Road - Sundance

The Red Road is a hard-hitting drama that revolves around a local cop struggling to keep his family together while simultaneously policing two clashing communities: the small town where he grew up and the neighboring mountains, home of a Native American tribe. After a terrible tragedy and coverup occurs involving the cop’s wife, an unholy alliance is forged between the cop and Phillip Kopus, a dangerous member of the tribe that will come back to haunt all involved.

The Smoke - Sky 1

The Smoke is a high octane, emotionally gripping, funny, and occasionally outrageous ensemble drama about what it's really like to be a firefighter in Britain today. And it's tough trying to be a hero in a world that dismisses and disregards heroes. But whatever White Watch might go through, they are never beaten down, and they are always able to fall back on one another. As irreverent and emotionally charged as it is thrilling, you'll never before have seen a show about firefighters quite like The Smoke.

Those Who Kill - A&E

Those Who Kill" is based on a popular Danish crime series format inspired by the bestselling work of author Elsebeth Egholm. The series centers on Catherine Jensen (Chloë Sevigny), a freshly minted and incredibly smart police detective who tracks down serial killers. Jensen is also attempting to come to terms with her past by continuing to investigate her stepfather, who she suspects may be a serial killer, and her brother who went missing as a sixteen-year-old. Jensen enlists the help of Thomas Schaffer (James D'Arcy), a forensic psychiatrist, to help her get into the minds of serial killers, all the while luring Schaffer into her own personal investigation. Both characters possess a deep psychological understanding that connects them to the killers' victims and to the killers themselves.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Turn - AMC

Based on the book Washington’s Spies written by Alexander Rose, Turn is set in the summer of 1776 and tells the story of New York farmer Abe Woodhull, who bands together with a group of childhood friends to form The Culper Ring, an unlikely group of spies who turn the tide in America’s fight for independence.

Undateable - NBC

When confident slacker Danny Beeman takes Justin on as a roommate, Danny unwittingly inherits Justin's group of romantically challenged friends. Seeing himself as the ultimate player, Danny decides to teach the crew (whom he dubs "The Undateables") everything he knows about "the game of love."

For their first lesson, Danny takes the guys to an event hosted by his sister, Leslie, who is a single mom with dating difficulties of her own. At first, Danny's advice seems to pay off big-time: the shy guy talks to a girl, the no-filter dude learns it's never okay to ask a woman when she's due(!) and his nebbish roommate, Justin, goes home with a mystery woman. It's not until the next day that they figure out it was Danny's sister, Leslie! Talk about a bunch who just can't get lucky!

Years of Living Dangerously - Showtime

Years of Living Dangerously is global warming like you’ve never seen it before. Coming to SHOWTIME in April, this multi-part television event tells the biggest story of our time: climate change and the impact it's having on people right now in the US and all over the world. Over the course of eight episodes, we’ll report on the crippling effects of climate change-related weather events and the ways individuals, communities, companies and governments are struggling to find solutions to the biggest threat our world has ever faced. An all-star cast of correspondents goes into the field—to Texas, Kansas, California, Colorado, New York, Maine, Montana, Washington, the Carolinas, Florida, the Middle East, Africa, the Andes, the North Pole, Indonesia, Bangladesh and the South Pacific—to meet the people and see the places affected by climate change.

Correspondents include: America Ferrera, Don Cheadle, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Ian Somerhalder, Jessica Alba, Matt Damon, Michael C. Hall and Olivia Munn.

Executive Produced by James Cameron.

37 Days - BBC Two

Three-part BBC 2 drama, written by Mark Hayhurst and starring Sinead Cusack, Ian McDiarmid and Tim Pigott-Smith, which questions assumptions that the Sarajevo shooting made the conflict inevitable.

Silicon Valley - HBO

Mike Judge brings his irreverent brand of humor to HBO in this new comedy series, which looks at the modern-day epicenter of the high-tech Gold Rush, where the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will update this post later on with links to the various show threads that will inevitibly pop up in the coming weeks, as well as reviews for all the new series.

I'm planning on doing OT's for True Detective, Archer, Orphan Black, House of Cards, and The Americans. I might do Black Sails, too, if no one else wants it.

Awesome thread.

Planning to check out the following new shows assuming decent impressions:

True Detective
Klondike
Chozen
The Spoils of Babylon
Helix
Black Sails
Fargo
New Worlds
Penny Dreadful
The Musketeers
The Red Road
Turn

As usual, the big networks offer nothing of interest. Thank goodness for pay cable and more adventurous, smaller stations.

If Black Sails and True Detective are hits, I consider this to be a solid season for new shows. Big bonus points if AMC can Turn their game around (oh, yes, yes I did).

 

[Dereck]

Has anyone heard about that show Girlfriend in a Coma with Hilary Duff and Miranda Cosgrove?

 

[Wes]

Great thread. Glad to see British shows in there too - saves me a job! I didn't know Brit Marling was doing a comedy for Channel 4. Very interesting...

What's the early word on The Assets? Of the bunch it sounds the most interesting to me. That said this whole list sounds generally more intriguing than what came out in the Summer/Autumn.

 

[Hari Seldon]

The early start to this year is very light on shows I am interested in. Nothing really until that Pirate show on Starz. Cancelling all my premium subscriptions until then.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Good God that's a lot of TV. Much of which I'll try to watch.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Nothing is jumping out at me, like the Blacklist and Sleepy Hollow did on the old list, but there's a handful I will give a chance.

I'll definitely be watching and doing the thread for The Americans. Just forgot to include it (and a couple other things) on my watch list. So much good tv!

 

[questionmark]

Justified and Banshee are at the top of my list. Might take a gander at True Detective too.

[thepotatoman]

Resurection
Mind Games
Turn

Those are the only new series that jumped out as possibly good to me, and that's still with a lot of apprehension. Black Sails looks cool too but not cool enough to pay for Starz.

I guess I'll mostly be waiting to see if anything gets a lot of good buzz.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Epic post, Ratsky!

Here's what I'll be watching:

Castle - ABC - 10/9c (still fun)
Teen Wolf - MTV - 10/9c (The best show that most of you don't watch)

Killer Women - ABC - 10/9c (I may check out the pilot)

[beat]

In RatskyWatsky's posting order. I'll bold the few I really care about.

- Burning Love is still on? I thought E just wrapped up the second season? Did they say they're going to air the third?

Community, definitely. So hyped.

Still watching The Michael J Fox show, but I can't honestly recommend it.

Bob's Burgers is legitimately great. I want to compare it to (past) Simpsons greatness while emphasizing that it's its own thing, it's not a Simpsons ripoff.

Might as well finish out the string on Agents of SHIELD. So not hyped about this show any more, neither as a Marvel cinematic universe show (esp with its insane idea that superhuman powers are unlikely months after an alien invasion + rogue Norse god decimated NYC and was fought off by a giant green monster and Thor and a man in a flying mech suit) nor as a Whedon-esque show.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine was nearly my favorite comedy of the fall, and definitely favorite new comedy.

New Girl has been meh this whole season; the writing has been subpar and the acting has mostly descended to the level of the writing.

Mindy Project -- well, I hear it's gotten better. I've been more of a regular viewer since they picked up Adam Pally.

Trophy Wife has been really good.

Intelligence -- I might go for this at some point just to see what spy action on TV looks like now. Trailer looks like cheesy fun.

100 Days of Summer sounds super bad just because of what it is. A Bravo reality show? Hell no. I'm already cringing at the thought of Andy Cohen talking to these people.

Cougar Town - yay, it's back! CT is great. If you aren't watching it because of the name, get over it. They dropped the initial premise like five episodes into the first season. Now it's a hang-out sitcom, and it's loads of fun.

I'm watching Modern Family off and on these days.

Parks and Recreation is still really solid.

Raising Hope has played out its first half-season without Greg Garcia pretty well, actually. I'm still watching this regularly and liking it a lot.

Enlisted -- will tune in just for residual love for Cougar Town (was created by CT co-creator Kevin Biegel).

Helix. -- this is the new RDM show, right?

House of Lies -- I gave up on this a while ago, but the improv special House of Lies Live was so great I might get back in.

How I Met Your Mother -- why not.

Suburgatory -- I enjoyed it, I don't mind the upcoming cast changes. I will say it's been so long I almost wondered if it got cancelled and I had just forgotten.

Party Down South -- not gonna watch it anyways, but I'm annoyed this will mess up my future web searches for "Party Down".

Jerks with Cameras -- not my cup of tea necessarily, but might tune in once or twice out of friend (acquaintance) loyalty, as in I kinda sorta know someone working on this.

Hitrecord on TV! -- maybe. Who doesn't love JGL and an online community?

Broad City - oh hell yes. Did y'all know the pilot's available on Comedy Central's website? Go watch it now. It's great.

Is Rake supposed to be any good? The Fox ads I saw over the holidays were a mess.

Might hate-watch Mixology (nothing against it per se, just hate that ABC killed Happy Endings for this) at some point in the future when I can batch a few eps together. The trailer isn't good.

The Americans -- I'm really not much for dramas, but this one really grabbed me. Will definitely watch.

Hannibal - got good reviews and Bryan Fuller still has a lifetime pass. But I never did get into the first season; maybe I should catch up.

Resurrection - promo looked good and I'm a sucker for the premise.

Whose Line is it Anyway? -- at this point I'm only tuning in if the guest improviser is someone I want to watch.

Inside Amy Schumer -- had a good first season, I'd watch the second season.

Orphan Black -- I really need to catch up on this; it sounds like something I'd like.

I'm not rooting against David Walton or NBC's About a Boy, but I've never found Walton that funny either. =/

Babylon - I have a crush on Brit Marling.

Bad Teacher - man, doesn't seem like CBS has a lot of faith in this show. I want to watch for Ari Graynor and showrunner Hilary Winston (wrote on a few shows I liked, and more importantly I liked her book.)

Playing House -- BFFs was terrific, and I hope this is basically BFFs with a tweaked premise. Gotta love that one of the official trailer on YouTube is titled "Best Friends"... BTW, the view counts on their YT videos are gruesomely low. I think I'm gonna start panicking right now.

Surviving Jack gets an episode or two just for Bill Lawrence. Same with Undateable. (man, he has had a fantastic year this year, getting Ground Floor on as well as these two. Speaking of which, I've been watching Ground Floor. It's probably the most tolerable new multicam in years.)

Veep. Great season 1, great season 2, will probably still be great.

Hadn't even heard of Space Dandy till just now, but that's an automatic pickup just for Shinichiro Watanabe.

I might watch The 7.39.

Crisis -- wait wait wait, Hollywood greenlit two DC hostage-taking dramas in one year? And they even cast two actors often confused for each other in the two? FANTASTIC.

The Night Shift has a hilariously bad promo poster but I kinda want to spite-watch it just because of how good Nick Kroll's performance was in the Childrens Hospital episode "The Night Shift". Actually, that whole episode was great.

BTW, I think your post also missed mentioning Rick and Morty. I saw the premiere on Youtube and liked it.

(I'm so sorry this post went on so long.)

Ratsky, you saucy little minx. I love your TV threads so much. Cheers!

But I can't even think about this right now, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much to process. I'll hammer it out this weekend.

It took some riots to get this thread started but there it is.

Been a while since I had so many TV shows to look forward to. I did a Hannibal marathon last week with season 1, which was the first time I watched it, and I was pleasantly suprised. I'm happy to see that the 2nd season is starting up next month!
