- Fall is coming.
- Hi everyone!
Let's talk about the top fall TV shows of 2016.
These are the shows that we're excited about
or looking forward to.
We're going to be splitting them between
new shows and returning shows.
Let's jump into the new shows.
Quarry, based on the novels by Max Allan Collins
about a marine, Mac "Quarry" Conway,
who returns home to Memphis from fighting in Vietnam
and gets involved in a network of killing and corruption
as he tries to make ends meet
and dealing with his experiences at war.
I haven't seen the series yet,
but I'm curious about it
because it involves some of the same people
that were involved in Banshee,
and since I love Banshee, you know,
I just kind of have to watch it.
- The Good Place.
In the show, Eleanor Shellstrop is in heaven,
AKA "the good place", after she just died,
but she realizes that they made a mistake
and she should really should have been going to hell,
so comedy ensues.
Starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson,
I'm really excited because we watched the first episode,
and it was really, really funny.
Kristen Bell is true to form.
Funny, funny, funny.
Cannot wait to see more.
- This is Us.
It tells the story of people born on the same day,
and it stars Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia,
and Justin Hartley.
Now I know there's not much to go on with this,
but trust me.
It's really good.
Like I watched the first episode
and I was like, it sounds like, yeah--
It sounds like a show I would enjoy,
but by the end I'm like, bring tissues.
It's emotional, it's, um, just at least, just--
Just watch the first episode up until the end.
If you don't like it by then,
I'm guessing it's probably not for you,
but I'm personally curious to see where they go from there.
- Bull, starring NCIS's Michael Weatherly
as Dr. Jason Bull, the founder of
one of the most prolific trial consulting firms
of all times.
He combined psychology, human intuition, high tech data
to learn what makes jurors, attorneys,
witnesses, and the accused tick.
It's a drama inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil.
Saw the first episode, loved it.
Just, just my kind of show.
Michael Weatherly is awesome.
I cannot wait to see more of this show,
so definitely one of my new faves.
- Designated Survivor,
starring Kiefer Sutherland.
It's about the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development,
Tom Kirkman, who becomes president after an attack
during the night of the State Union
kills pretty much everyone,
and he happened to be the designated survivor
during that night.
And now he'll have to figure out
how to, you know, do the right thing
and lead America through this time of tragedy.
If you're a fan of Kiefer Sutherland, like I am,
this is probably something you might enjoy.
The first episode--
It lays the ground to him becoming president,
and we'll see where he goes from there.
- Speechless follows the DiMeo family
led by their mom, Maya, who will do anything for her family,
including their son, J.J., who has cerebral palsy .
They move to a new neighborhood for better access for J.J.
and in order to find his voice.
Saw the first episode.
Definitely one of my favorites.
Really funny.
I think it reminded me a little bit of My Name is Earl.
Kinda had that vibe going on for it,
- And Raising Hope. - And Raising Hope.
So it has that vibe in there.
So I was like, oh yes, new comedy.
- Van Helsing.
Set in the near future
where vampires have risen and taken control,
Vanessa Van Helsing is humanity's last hope
as her unique blood composition gives her
the ability to turn vampires human.
Twists!
You can make vampires humans.
I mean, you really had me at vampires.
- Aftermath.
Centered on the Copeland family,
a couple and their three children trying to survive
as civilization comes to an end around them.
In addition to facing natural disasters,
they will also face supernatural creatures.
Saw their trailer.
Looks kinda cool?
Not sure.
Just looks kinda cool so I definitely wanna watch it.
- Crisis in Six Scenes.
This is a Woody Allen-created series
which will feature six half-hour episodes.
It takes place in the 1960s
during turbulent times in the United States,
and a middle class suburban family is visited by a guest,
who turns their household completely upside down.
I'm curious about it.
I mean, Woody Allen ...
It's hit-or-miss for me,
but it's six episodes on Amazon.
I have to give it a shot.
- I won't.
Marvel's Luke Cage.
Series focus on the character of Luke Cage
we meet in the Netflix series, Marvel's Jessica Jones.
He's trying to clear his name
and save his neighborhood in this intro series.
So we've talked about this and we did a trailer break down.
I've talked at length at how ridiculously excited I am
about this show.
So that's it, that's all I'm going to say about it.
Oh my God!
- Westworld.
Based on a 1973 film of the same name
which was written and directed by Michael Crichton,
the series tells the story of
a futuristic theme park called Westworld.
Now this is possibly the new show I'm most excited about.
Robots, future, theme parks.
I mean, yes.
- Timeless.
The unlikely team of a history professor,
a soldier, and a scientist,
with the access to a time-traveling device,
are tasked to stop a time-traveling criminal
from rewriting history.
Saw the first episode.
Really liked the first episode.
I think it has a lot of legs.
I can't wait to see more.
- Frequency.
Inspired by the 2000 film of the same name,
an NYPD detective Raimy Sullivan discovers that
she's able to speak to her deceased father, Frank Sullivan,
in 1996 via his old ham radio.
Her attempts to save his life trigger the butterfly effect,
changing the present in unforeseen ways.
To fix the damage, she must work with her father across time
to solve a decades-old murder case.
I really, really enjoyed the movie that the show is based on
and I've seen the first episode of the series
and I thought they did a pretty good job
at, you know, making it into a show.
- No Tomorrow.
The series follows a woman who becomes involved
with a free-spirited guy who inspires her
to make an "apocalyst",
which is a list of things to do before the world ends,
which he claims will be in eight months, 12 days.
With the help of her friends,
they try to find out if he can be taken seriously
while still completing the bucket list.
Saw the first episode.
I think there's gonna be a lot of people
who would like this show.
- Freakish.
The show centers on a group of students
who must fight for survival
when predatory mutant freaks take over
after a meltdown at the local chemical plant.
Now I'm going solely on synopsis with this one.
And mostly hoping it's kind of like The Faculty movie,
because I love that movie.
(chuckles)
- Falling Water.
Three unrelated people slowly realize
they're dreaming separate parts of a single common dream.
Drama ensues.
- Drama ensues.
- I saw the trailer,
and based on the trailer and the concept,
it had a very Inception-like vibe to it,
and I was a huge fan of the show Inception.
So based on that and that alone,
I'm really interested in watching this show.
- Good Girls Revolt.
It takes place in 1969
and follows a group of young female researchers
at News of the Week who ask to be treated fairly.
Their revolutionary request sparks convulsive changes
and upends marriages, careers, sex lives,
love lives, and friendships.
So far I've only seen a clip,
although the first episode is available to watch
if you wanna check it out.
And it definitely seems like my type of show.
Like, I was like, why haven't I been watching this already?
So, really looking forward to checking out more of it.
- Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
It follows the bizarre adventures of
eccentric, holistic detective, Dirk Gently,
and his reluctant assistant, Todd, played by Elijah Wood,
set in the world of the hyper-absurd detective.
Now, this is actually a remake
of a previous UK series,
and I loved the UK series,
and if it follows the same kind of, like, vibe,
this is gonna be a very fun show to watch.
So I highly encourage you to watch
because Dirk Gently is some crazy ish.
(chuckles)
Like really crazy.
- The Crown.
It will trace the life of Queen Elizabeth II
from her wedding in 1947 to the present day.
It is expected to span 60 episodes over six seasons.
I don't know about you, but it sounds kind of epic.
And Netflix has released a clip from the series
and I was getting really emotional
and I was like, this looks like a really good show.
So, you know, gonna watch it.
- Yeah, yeah, I was like The Crown--
I don't even know what it's about.
(mumbles and chuckles)
Incorporated.
Centers around Ben Larson,
a young executive who risks everything
to infiltrate the all controlling corporate world
and save the woman he loves.
In the process, he will take on the entire system
with deadly consequences.
The trailer, for me, really sold it, right?
It looks futuristic.
It looks like there's some drama mystery in there.
Yeah, I'm in.
- Shut Eye.
It takes a darkly comedic look
at the world of Los Angeles storefront psychics
and organized crime syndicate that runs them.
I think I'm mostly going with the synopsis
and the fact that Jeffrey Donovan is in it,
and also they released a trailer
which has an interesting feel to it.
So I'm curious about this one.
And finally, we have one honorable mention,
which is The Rocky Horror Picture Show,
which is a remake of the 1975 musical film.
I feel like I shouldn't really explain what it is
because if you haven't seen it,
then you should watch it because it's a cult film,
and if you watch it, then you get it.
I'm super excited about it.
It's a musical, it's one night.
It's just a jump to the left and then a step to the right.
(laughs)
And now let's talk about returning shows
that we're really excited about.
- Narcos, back for a season two.
Super excited, already on Netflix.
Ya gots ta go watch it.
- Once Upon a Time, season six, yes.
Last season was one of my favorites
and this season it looks like
we're delving into some new mythology
and I'm really excited about it.
So, you know, plus we're reviewing the show.
- Blindspot, entering it's second season as well.
Really, really, really excited
after seeing the finale of season one.
I don't know where they're gonna go with this.
They really, the show is gonna be upended, so good stuff.
- Poldark.
Oh my God.
Poldark is like, where have you been all my life?
I love you, and I'm so excited it was renewed
for a season two and then it's almost for Merrick.
- Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This doesn't require any introduction.
We're reviewing it again, we're doing a live Q & A.
Two words though: Ghost Rider.
- Oh yeah.
Younger.
Another one of my favorite show
that always puts me in a really good mood,
and by the way, team Josh, all the way.
- Elementary back for a new season.
I have to say last season was a mixed bag,
but it's still Sherlock,
I'm still loving the whole, you know, interaction
between him and Watson.
So excited for a new season.
- Shameless.
Every season I'm reminded why I love this show.
It's just consistently good.
Like you would think after six seasons,
but no, it's still good.
It's amazing, I love it.
I'm so excited to see the Gallaghers again,
and I mean, what can you possibly do now?
- The Flash season three.
Oh my, what should we say about The Flash?
We're in love with it.
One word: Flashpoint.
- Arrow.
I'm kind of excited that this is the last season
that we'll be getting flashbacks because, to be honest,
I'm kind of over the flashbacks,
but mostly I'm excited for,
for just, like, you know, a new season.
New exciting things.
And it seems like there's going to be
some Flashpoint effects on Arrow,
so I'm excited about that as well.
- Black Mirror on Netflix.
Oh God.
Guys, season one is just amazing.
And if you didn't watch the special Christmas episode,
holy crap, you're missing out.
So season two, I just can't even wait.
I can't even deal.
I cannot.
- Just a warning, though, it is pretty messed up of a show.
- It is a messed up show.
- So, you know, just watch it.
- But it's good messed up.
- Yeah, it's good messed up. - It's good messed up.
- Yeah, it's good messed up, but you know, just be aware.
It's really messed up. - It's weird.
- Jane the Virgin.
Just feel good, it makes me happy, it's funny--
I just, I just love it.
The Vampire Diaries, final season!
I've stuck it through, I've enjoyed it all throughout,
and I'm actually excited to find out
how they wrap it up because last season was pretty good.
And I'm reviewing the show this season, this final season.
So that's exciting too.
- Teen Wolf.
Back for it's final season.
We are very, very excited.
We have reviews, Q & As, and it's the final season.
It's so sad, oh my God.
- It's okay.
(sighs)
- Supergirl.
We're reviewing Supergirl this season
and we caught up to last season, which is crazy because--
(mumbles)
My favorite character is John Jones, did I tell you that?
- You didn't tell me that.
- Yeah, he's cool.
- The Librarians.
Oh, this show is like
just my all-time favorite, feel-good show.
Adventure, mystery, comedy--
(blows raspberry)
Just watch it.
If you've never watched it,
you're missing out, your life is not complete.
- And if you were a fan of, like, shows like
Warehouse 13 or Eureka, I mean, this is your show.
- This is it.
- The Walking Dead.
We gotta find out who Negan freaking killed
because it's been way too long.
I mean, we know who he killed in the comic books,
but I don't think it's gonna be the same person.
So, you know, just tell me.
Man in the High Castle.
I recently caught up to the first season
and it's really, really interesting show
and concept, and the way it ended, my God, so, yeah.
Gotta know what happened there because yes.
And finally, we're gonna quickly share
some of our favorite comedies returning.
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Goldbergs,
Superstore,
The Middle,
Fresh Off the Boat, The Mindy Project.
- So excited about these, so funny.
It's a nice break when you watch
Walking Dead, then you're like, Mindy Project.
Wooo, that's nice. (chuckles)
And then one final honorable mention
because it's not technically a series,
but I gotta mention it.
It's Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life,
which Netflix thankfully revived.
I mean, is it November yet?
And those are all the shows
that we're looking forward to this fall.
I feel like every year the number grows larger.
- Yeah.
It's getting big.
