While these no-nonsense survivalists are accustomed to fending for themselves, there's one thing for which none of their previous expeditions have prepared them: their nature-phobic partners, who think "glamping" is roughing it. To win the competition, and a cash prize of $500,000, the experts will have to drag their partners, 'Kicking & Screaming', to the finish line.

Loch Ness - ITV/AcornTV

In a community sustained by myth and bordered by untamed nature, the search for a serial killer becomes a matter of life and death for local detective Annie Cathro who is trying to cope with her first murder case.

Though he's got his drinking under control, his life is one step forward, twelve steps back.

Making History - Fox

'Making History' follows three friends from two different centuries as they try to balance the thrill of time travel with the mundane concerns of their present-day lives.

Marlon - NBC

Loosely inspired by the real life of star Marlon Wayans, this update to the classic family comedy centers on a loving (but immature) father committed to co-parenting his two kids with his very-together ex-wife.

From Niels Arden Oplev, the visionary director of 'Mr. Robot,' and based on the hit book series from author Charlaine Harris ('True Blood'), comes a journey into a remote Texas town where no one is who they seem.

In the all-new event series, filmed on location in Morocco, clues surface that suggest a previously thought-to-be-dead Michael may be alive.

Believing there to be more to the tragedy, she sets out to uncover what happened.

Before the town has a chance to grapple with this tragedy, the neglected murder of an African-American teen is brought to light, re-opening wounds that threaten to tear the town apart.

And just when things couldn’t get any worse, he’s diagnosed with esophageal cancer. However, everyone starts to treat him better because of his diagnosis and suddenly Daniel finds he has a new lust for life. But then he finds out he was misdiagnosed by the most incompetent oncologist on Earth, Dr Ian Glennis and that’s when Daniel has a big decision to make: come clean and go back to his old rubbish life, or keep this new information a secret and pretend to be ill. He decides to go for the latter but very quickly the lie spirals out of control and both Daniel and Dr Glennis have to spend all of their waking lives trying to prevent the truth from getting out.

Still Star-Crossed - ABC

'Still Star-Crossed,' a period drama from Shondaland, picks up where the famous story of Romeo and Juliet ends, charting the treachery, palace intrigue and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers' tragic fate. The series is based on the book by Melinda Taub.

'Tin Star' tells the story of Jim Worth, an ex-Metropolitan police detective who has moved with his family to the Rocky Mountains to start a new life as a local police chief in an idyllic rural community. When his small town is overrun by migrant workers from a massive new oil refinery – the wave of drugs, prostitution and organised crime that follows them threatens to sweep away everything in its wake.

Based on the 2016 film of the same name, which followed three young friends fulfilling their hip hop dreams in New York City in 1990, the series will continue to explore their triumph and heartbreak trying to make their mark in a new and complex hip hop culture.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The Defiant Ones - HBO

'The Defiant Ones' is a four-part documentary on Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, which chronicles their divergent roots and their unlikely partnership as well as addresses the moguls' influence and impact on pop culture.

The Disappearance - CTV

'The Disappearance' is a psychological family drama centered around the unexplained and sudden disappearance of Anthony Sullivan during a treasure hunt on the day of his tenth birthday. The series follows the family as the complex and emotionally fraught mystery of their child’s disappearance unfolds. While both the police and family conduct their own investigations, seeking any signs and trace of evidence, long-buried familial secrets with devastating consequences rise to the surface leaving an unforeseen impact on every member of the Sullivan family.

The Great War - PBS

Drawing on the latest scholarship, including unpublished diaries, memoirs and letters, 'The Great War' tells the rich and complex story of World War I through the voices of nurses, journalists, aviators and the American troops who came to be known as “doughboys.” The series explores the experiences of African-American and Latino soldiers, suffragists, Native-American “code talkers” and others whose participation in the war to “make the world safe for democracy” has been largely forgotten.

'The Great War' also explores how a brilliant PR man bolstered support for the war in a country hesitant to put lives on the line for a foreign conflict; how President Woodrow Wilson steered the nation through three-and-a-half years of neutrality, only to reluctantly lead America into the bloodiest conflict the world had ever seen, thereby transforming the United States into a dominant player on the international stage; and how the ardent patriotism and determination to support America’s crusade for liberty abroad led to one of the most oppressive crackdowns on civil liberties at home in American history. It is also a story of little-known heroism and sacrifice (including the deadliest battle in American history) that would leave more than 53,000 men dead on the battlefield and more than 60,000 dead from disease. American fatalities would come at a critical time in the war, but they would be dwarfed by a cataclysm of violence that would ultimately claim 15 million lives.

The Son - AMC/Sundance TV

Based on the New York Times best seller and Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel, 'The Son' is a sweeping family saga that spans 150 years and three generations of the McCullough family. The series tells the story of Eli McCullough’s transformation from good-natured innocence to calculated violence, as he loses everything on the wild frontier, setting him on the path to building a ranching-and-oil dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege. 'The Son' deftly explores how Eli’s ruthlessness and quest for power triggers consequences that span generations, as the McCulloughs rise to become one of the richest families reigning in Texas.

Twin Peaks - Showtime

One of the most groundbreaking and influential television series of all time, the new Showtime series picks up twenty-five years after the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town were stunned when their homecoming queen Laura Palmer was shockingly murdered. The new 'Twin Peaks' is written and produced by series creators and executive producers David Lynch and Mark Frost and is directed entirely by Lynch.

When We Rise - ABC

'When We Rise' chronicles the real-life personal and political struggles, setbacks and triumphs of a diverse family of LGBT men and women who helped pioneer one of the last legs of the U.S. Civil Rights movement from its turbulent infancy in the 20th century to the once unfathomable successes of today.

Zoolander: Super Model - Crackle

An animated sequel series to the cult classic comedy film 'Zoolander', featuring an all star voice cast including Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Christine Taylor, Tim Gunn, Jenny Slate, Patton Oswalt, Rashida Jones, and Kim Kardashian.

I love TV do much.

 

[chadskin]

It's that time of year again where I try not to get too attached to any of the new network shows because nearly all of 'em get cancelled after the first season anyway.

Any early buzz for any of the new shows? Big Little Lies has an insane cast for a TV show, so that's probably gonna be big.

 

[Dan]

This might be optimistic, since I'm beginning grad school in a week. I suspect even more shows are going to get waitlisted or dropped for me this year than last, and the situation won't improve.

[DagsJT]

Which site do people use for TV show reviews? There's that much on that I found TV.com to be useful at telling me which shows were good. But now I'm finding they seem to report news more than reviews so I'm probably missing some good TV.

Great thread. Thanks for doing this again!

A lot of new and returning shows to look forward to. Hope we get another great season of tv.

 

[Joni]

I might watch American Gods live. I might give Powerless and Training Day a shot for the talent involved. Riverdale because CW. Anything else will be at most dvd purchases.

For returning shows I will take the 100, the originals, izombie, reign and maybe scandal if the reviews are good.

[Grizzlyjin]

Bless you, Ratsky. There are so many shows that would have fallen under my radar if not for these threads.

Divided States of America
Taboo
Emerald City, I gotta watch the first episode. I just gotta.
The Mick
Crashing, not a huge fan of Holmes' material but I'll give this a chance
Abstract: The Art of Design
Legion, not expecting much
24: Legacy, I'm a 24 nut. Not even gonna lie about watching part, probably in for the whole ride regardless of quality
Powerless, again another I'm watching to see if it's a disaster or not
Riverdale, Stupid. Sexy. Teenagers. I'm so in. The new Archie run and Afterlife with Archie turned me into a big fan
Making History, I remember digging the trailer for this
American Gods, love the novel and Bryan Fuller is the showrunner. Sold.
The Handmaid's Tale
Marvel's Iron Fist, I might be burnt out on Netflix Marvel. Despite being a huge Iron Fist fan, I'm really not pumped for this one.

Too ambitious as always. I'll probably watch two episodes of most of these and then drop them.

 

[dead souls]

Not too much new for me this Spring.

I'll try out the new FX stuff: Taboo & Legion, the new HBO stuff: Young Pope, Crashing, Big Little Lies, 24 Legacy from the broadcast networks, Iron Fist from Netflix, maybe Riverdale if it reviews strongly, plus stuff like Twin Peaks or American Gods whenever they finally air.

As for returning shows I'm looking forward to a lot: Hap and Leonard, Homeland, Billions, The Magicians, The Expanse, iZombie, the final season of Bones, final season of Orphan Black, Sherlock, Baskets, plus a bunch of other things I forgot/was too lazy to type.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

Sherlock, Taboo and everything Marvel for definite. Will probably give Legion a go as well.

Nothing else really jumps out at me.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Not too much new for me this Spring.

I'll try out the new FX stuff: Taboo & Legion, the new HBO stuff: Young Pope, Crashing, Big Little Lies, 24 Legacy from the broadcast networks, Iron Fist from Netflix, maybe Riverdale if it reviews strongly, plus stuff like Twin Peaks or American Gods whenever they finally air.

"Not too much." Lists ten new shows.

What a time to be alive.

 

[Linkura]

In for Bates Motel, whenever it starts airing. Will continue with JTV too.

 

[iiicon]

I quite liked the first season of Fargo. I wonder what Allison Tolman is up to these days?

Ah.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Jesus, there are a lot of recycled concepts in there.

Also, who the hell gave John Lithglow a knife? You never give Arthur a knife!
Also, as someone who stopped watching The Blacklist after season one or two, apparently Tom is still alive. And the original show not cancelled. Huh.
Also, nothing sounds remotely compelling.

The only worthwhile new thing I saw was Ghosts in the Hood, because that frankly sounds amazing, going after that typical "white people shit".

Already watching / resuming:
Colony S2 (back for another round of "nazis from space, also some family spy stuff", hopefully they'll include more outside the zones this season)

Will Entertain for one or two episodes before judging (in the cancellations thread):

Ghosts in the Hood (please be what I hope it is)
Taboo (mostly because Quarry)
American Gods (Fuller, yes, but that picture looks awful)
Powerless (to see how awful it is)
Abstract: the Art of Design (yay!)
Common Sense (very maybe)
Time After Time (only if the hook works, which is unlikely)
Madiba (maybe, but it could be good for perspective)
Training Day (because Paxton, even if it's probably not good)

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

So much good stuff this Spring.

Thanks, as always, Ratsky for the huge effort. This is a very useful thread.

 

[GK86]

Great OT as always!

 

[TripOpt55]

Great job on the thread. Not a ton of new shows really catching my eye. Will see what people end up thinking is good. Will probably try these at least:

New Shows
American Gods: Probably most excited for this of the new ones.
The Good Fight: The promo and info on this has me excited, but the fact it is on CBS's streaming service kind of kills my hype.
Taboo
The Young Pope
Training Day
Big Little Lies
Crashing

A lot of returning stuff I'll be watching again. Won't list them all. Most excited for iZombie, Black Sails, The Good Place, Kimmy Schmidt, and Rick and Morty.

 

[Nudull]

Here for American Gods, Iron Fist, Unfortunate Events, Riverdale, Legion, Ronia and Class.

 

[Chris R]

Isn't the new Star Trek starting this spring?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Isn't the new Star Trek starting this spring?

It's currently scheduled for May.

 

[Chris R]

It's currently scheduled for May.

Ah bummer :\

I'll give Legion a chance because the ads seems a little intriguing but doubt I'll stick with it.

Hate Thy Neighbor could be good as well, Viceland is probably my most watched non-sports network at this point lol

 

[AngmarsKing701]

I'll add 24: Legacy, Taboo and American Gods. Can't wait for Black Sails.

 

[Kreuzader]

so uh, hunted sure sounds like the running man

[Parch]

Very nice OP.

I'm pretty much onboard for the superhero shows, Better Call Saul, Survivor, and The Walking Dead, so for sure Iron Fist. Planet Earth 2 is really good too.

The rest is wait for the reviews. For me there is always a bunch I try for an episode or two but never stick with it. I'd rather watch hockey and baseball.

 

[Karak]

Good OP.
But first time I can say I was really depressed looking at the shows. There isn't a single one that looks good as a newcomer. That is just a nightmare of a list.

Training day...could be good. Just because who is involved but damn.

 

[-Deimos]

Since it doesn't have an OT: That Travelers finale was incredible and it looks like it's already up for non-Canadians on Netflix. People need to check this show out.

 

[daffy]

What would you lovely people say is the best TV watchlist app? I just need it to have as many listings as possible and be somewhat nice to look at and follow. I don't need sharing capabilities, social etc.


sooo many tv shows ughhh. Really interested in the miyazaki series and the mick i guess.

I can't tell if it is what you are looking for, but I use the TVShow Time app on my phone. Basically you add whatever shows you watch or are going to watch. One page has what/when stuff is coming on or back if it is further off. And the other basically has a list of shows with all the episodes you still need to watch. Like along with new stuff, I am watching Buffy and I just keep track of it on there too, so it can be old backlog type shows too. Pretty nice-looking app. It does have some social stuff, but I don't use it. The app might be worth a look to see if it is what you are looking for. Sounds like maybe you are looking for a more general guide with all shows coming on though, can't really tell.
