Which of These New Fall TV Shows Will Fail First?
If there is anything we can guarantee about the fall TV season, it's that at least one of the highly promoted network newcomers will fail to catch on with audiences and meet a premature end. Heck, it happens every year.
But which freshman series will be this year's This Is Us, and which will be its Conviction? Below, we have picked out some of the pros and cons facing each of the new broadcast series debuting between September and November
Pros: With a self-contained, serialized story and a limited (10-episode) run, this new crime thriller will not be canceled early, barring an unprecedented disastrous performance. And that seems unlikely given that it stars The Closer's Kyra Sedgwick (playing a TV producer whose child is abducted) and features a (presumably) compelling one-day-per-episode structure. There are no official reviews yet, but TV Line's Matt Webb Mitovich called it his favorite drama pilot this season.
Cons: There are no major red flags, though its competition includes another drama with a female lead (CBS's Madam Secretary).
ABC, Sundays at 10p starting 10/1
