Some Thoughts About the New Shows of the Season

I have added a few new shows this season and discarded one of them within 20 minutes of the show starting.  Here are some thoughts:

Stumptown: Overall it is enjoyable, but not awesome.  I appreciate the sarcasm and snarkiness, but it is not what I would call "must watch" TV.

UPDATE 11/5/19: Still watching and enjoying, but it is becoming more and more of a marginal watch.  It may be dumped if I can't get into it more.

UPDATE 12/12/19: Officially dumped as of 12/5/19. 

Prodigal Son:  My favorite new show.  I enjoy procedurals and the cast here is just incredible.  I am really glad that I added this one just a week or two before it premiered.

UPDATE 11/5/19: Nothing has changed.  Still awesome and still watching.  Definitely glad I decided to see this.

Evil: I stopped watching within 20 minutes.  It was supposed to be scary and freaky, but just bored me out of my skull.  Nothing about this was interesting at all.

Batwoman: I definitely enjoyed this show.  After "Prodigal Son", this is my favorite new show.  I am a little confused as to where this sits timeline wise (since it seems to be before the Elseworlds crossover chronologically), but I loved the pilot.

UPDATE 11/5/19: Still loving this show.  It just keeps getting better and better.  Well worth the watch.

Nancy Drew: The pilot was pretty boring.  I wanted to like it, but had trouble staying awake through it.  I will give it one more week to really get my attention, which is more than I give most shows that bore me.

UPDATE 11/5/19: Dropped this 15 minutes into the second episode.  It got even worse in the second ep.  I was very disappointed because this is one of the shows I was really looking forward to when it was announced earlier this year.
