Returning shows
BoardWalk Empire—My favorite HBO show is back. 'Nuff said. Hopefully my favorite characters (Chalky, Van Alden, and Richard) get more screen-time this time around.
Nashville—I caught wind of this country-music drama some weeks before its premiere. The show follows two popular country stars, Rayna Jaymes and Juliette Barnes, fighting for the throne of relevancy in Nashville. Heartbreak, competition, love-torn, greed, backstabbing, corruption, murder, and deception are some of the many themes on this show. It actually makes it what it is. It exceeded my expectations, but I'm so glad it was renewed for a second season and is back for another go.
Scandal—The fast-paced political-drama following a juicy riske affair is back. As an avid fan of the show since it's debut, I'm thrilled m show is back again. With the bombshell secret revealed in season two's finale, gladiators (fandom) may get answers that from unexplained questions since season one.
The Walking Dead—Cable's popular and highly-rated post-apocalyptic show returns for a fourth season, but with more complex stories this season just judging by the trailer. It's only time the narrative changes, as Rick and the group begin to grow, but also get smaller, meanwhile there's still no sign of refuge. I imagine (and hope) season four deals with more interpersonal relationships, and show how much stronger or weaker the bond between the group has grown.
Revolution—NBC returns with their post-apocalyptic show for a second season. The follows life after an irreversible orchestrated Blackout 15 years prior. The show saw praise in the first half of its season, but didn't garner the same ratings after it's mighty long hiatus for mid-season premiere. Now that the blackout is reportedly over, or so it seems, how is society now functioning. And was Aaron successful in aborting a destructive scheme?
New Shows
Sleep Hollow—This new supernatural sci-fi show is based on the book of the classic tale. However, the show is retelling the story in a modern day setting. Nicole Beharie stars in this show. It's important that she is the lead actress (keyword: lead), as that is not easy to come by when it comes to network TV shows and women of color. This show is the most highly anticipated fall show for me.
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D—I hope it's as great as it looks. What's not to like about action-hero shows?
Dracula— I'm anticipating this show as well. Plus, it stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers; one of my favorite actors.
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland— I like the tale of Alice in Wonderland and watched countless adaptions. Perhaps I may or may not like this show, but I'd like to watch it before I make any criticism.
Another new show I may watch is Cold Justice, a crime reality-show.
