21 TV Shows to Watch in November and December
In the gallery above, our editors have selected the most interesting TV shows (including TV movies and specials) debuting during the final months of 2019, listed in order by premiere date.
Series debuts November 1 on Apple TV+. It's not the worst of Apple's four launch shows (that title belongs to the dystopian adventure See, which we aren't including here because of that "worst" thing we just mentioned). But Apple certainly has to be disappointed that its $300 million, two-season investment in The Morning Show hasn't been met by a warmer reception. Instead, this Aaron Sorkin-esque drama appears to be more Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip than The West Wing.
Set in the cutthroat world of a network TV morning show newsroom in the midst of a #MeToo crisis, The Morning Show certainly features big names on the call sheet: Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell (who will depart after season 1), and Reese Witherspoon head an impressive cast that also features Mark Duplass, Billy Crudup, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bel Powley, and Nestor Carbonell. But production got off to an inauspicious start when original showrunner Jay Carson was replaced early on due to creative differences. Now running the show is Kerry Ehrin (Bates Motel), while Mimi Leder directs and also produces. Critics have only seen three episodes, so it could theoretically improve after an undistinguished start (which, admittedly, some reviewers did like).
