The 8 Best New Shows to Watch This Fall

Evil dead, amnesia and Muppets rule the airwaves

We mentioned last week that autumn portends quality film.

TV? Not so much.

Thanks to upfronts, pre-sales and other you-don’t-need-to-know ad jargon, the major networks (and a few cable channels) frontload their programming for the year into the first two months of fall.

That’s a lot to binge. And around 65% of it will be canceled within a few weeks.

So ignore the bloat: follow our decision tree to find The 8 Must-Watch TV Shows of Fall, available now for your perusal.

Inside (with trailers):

A Middle Ages bloodfest from the creator of Sons of Anarchy
Rob Lowe, charismatic fake lawyer
The actual Evil Dead

Plus, Aziz Ansari, oil tycoons, Jaimie Alexander (from Thor) going full Memento and … Muppets.

We can all agree that’s a good thing.

Enjoy our guide.
