Just like you can't judge a book by it's cover, you can't (and shouldn't) judge a new TV show by its trailer - they're deliberately made to pack as much razzle and dazzle into that 30 seconds or a minute to entice viewers, ad buyers and TV critics as they can.
With that said, some of the new upcoming American TV dramas of the new upcoming TV season is America looks simply amazing. I've looked at a lot, and here's my personal interesting and exciting ones, shows which I will definitely be tracking.
May M-Net and Fox International Channels (FIC)
PLEASE grab these amazing-looking shows as quickly as they can, and start showing it as soon as it starts in America.
AMAZING! ★★★★★ I've
already reported in July 2012 on The Last Ship, the new action adventure thriller TV drama based on William Brinkley's book. In this post apocalyptic TV drama, the crew of an American naval vessel are the last untouched people on earth after a mysterious virus spreads across the globe. Nuclear explosion! Chaos! McSteamy is back on television with a first season of definitely 10 episodes of
The Last Ship. This trailer looks amazing.
AMAZING! ★★★★★ Another incredibly imaginative and fully futuristic-looking new TV drama is
Almost Human, where a cop with problems is paired with a quirky android with problems. You can see a bit of
Fringe in it. You can see a bit of
I, Robot in it. What's not to love? Oh, and
J.J.Abrams is producing.
AMAZING! ★★★★★ Dracula with that sex-obsessed defiant
Jonathan Rhys Meyers looks ... aaaaaaaaah-mazing. my first impressions is of a "grown-up"
The Vampire Diaries crossed with
Sanctuary. It looks epic, with lots of backstory and mythical mysteries.
Sex fiend Jonathan Rhys Meyers Dracula comes to London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to the stodgy Victorian city. But he also wants revenge on people who've betrayed him centuries ago. Of course set against the backdrop of a love story and "unquenched" love.
GREAT! ★★★ "Don't touch Lola!" Marvel's
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is another hot-looking new drama series coming from
Joss Whedon. In this comic book morphing to television series, agent Phil Coulson (
Clark Gregg) puts together a small team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to handle strange new cases.
INTRIGUING PREMISE! ★★★ In
Sleepy Hollow (okay SPOILER! but they give it away in the promo) the headless horseman is actually one of the four mythical horsemen of the apocalypse.
Ichabod Crane (
Tom Mison) is woken up centuries later in our time in the town of Sleepy Hollow. He was last alive in George Washington's time. He made him a promise. There were two witches covens - one evil one good. Now Ichabod has to hunt down the headless horseman who've also "reawaken" (without a head) and is killing people.
SIMPLY AMAZING! ★★★★★ The world's most wanted man, has just surrendered..." [what happened to the more ominous-always "In a world ..."]
James Spader is back on television is the good-looking
Blacklist. It looks a little bit
Person of Interest crossed with
Hannibal rip-off, but veeeeery excelently done, since that
James Spader delivery just drips with delicious melodrama (as usual) - especially when locked in a glass box due to perceived dangerous and unknown tendencies.
LOOKING GOOD! ★★★★ A bit
Voyagers!, a bit
Quantum Leap, a bit
Sliders, a bit
Stardust,
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland is a spin-off from
Once Upon a Time.in which Alice is broken out of a mental asylum to return to Wonderland to look for her lost love she thought was dead. May she not like the old lady in
Titanic end up throwing the jewel of the heart of
the ocean courage into the ocean in the end.
